W.R. E. Unable to Meet Ex-

7-Cent Fare.

The Washington Railway and
Electric Company yesterday made
public figures to indicate that re-
turns from a 7-cent fare with four
tickets for a quarter will not pro-
duce sufficient revenue to meet ex-
penses and pay a s per cent return
on its investment
Thert has been an average week
ly increase of Ss,242.63 during the
first two weeks of November over
the last two weeks of the scent
fare Basing the yearly increase
in revenue at the end of a year
on these figures, the company would
receive S42s. more than during
year of the scent fare rate,
whereas the Public Utilities Com
mission estimated the company's
need for additional revenue at $780,
900 to give a per cent return on
the property investment. During
the first two weeks OF November
there was a decrease of 257.077 or
is per cent of the number of pas
sengers carried.
