FUTURE OF STREET AND INTER
URBAN RAILWAYS Is NOT VERY
PROMISING, SAYS SECRETARY
MOTE.

washington, Aug 14.-Tho future
of street and interurban railways is
not promising. Carl H. Mote. secretary
sion, testified today before -hc fed
eral commission seeking a remedy for
the situation in which roads find
themselves. Motor trucks and buss
competition has not reached it's peak,
he said, but It is already indicated that
as investments the roads are not what
their promoters had hoped for.
So far as Indiana is concerned, he
said. the work of the federal commits
sion is Unnecessary as the state
commission can care for the situation
as long as motor competition makes
it economically possible to do so.
Richard T. Higgins. of the Connec-
ticut utilities commission, the second
witness, said street railway lines IN
condition and that their future was
uncertain because the development CT
the motor vehicle was still unknown
As an emergency aid, he said, q rate
increase must be granted. He also
urged reduction in street railway
taxes and removal of state and mu-
nicipaI obligations now imposed upon
the roads.
In the competitive struggle between
motor vehicles and car lines, Mr. Hig-
gins said, regulation of the motor
traffic as rigidly as OF the street car
traffic should be enforced.
