Persons acquainted with the affairs
of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company stated today that

company at Tuesdays hearing would
indicate that even a six-cent fare

company to continue operation with

solvency of the company a seven

II such a showing is made to the
satisfaction of the Public Utilities
Commission. it was stated, the COM

Penny Transfers Possible.

From one source the intimation
came that the Washington Railway
and Electric Company might later
ask the privilege of charging one
cent for transfers issued from one to
another of it's own lines. such trans
fers to be "cashed'' for the price paid
one cent-when used. This. it was
stated, would do away with many
abuses of the transfer system and
would tend to keep persons from ask
ing for transfers which they did not
intend to use.
Whether or not the company has in
mind such a plan could not be learned
definitely.

Really More Cars Claimed.

The director general replied that.
although numerically the car supply
had decreased, more effective opera
tion has really enlarged the supply.
There is no serious complaint now
as to the lack of freight cars" he
said, cor the prompt movement of
freight. although on account of troop
movements there is some shortage Of
passenger equipment
Senator Cummins of Iowa questioned
the statement in regard to car short
age, saying he had received many
comlaints that railroads moved live
stock slowly from western markets to
Chicago. Mr.. McAdoo said conditions
in this regard were much better than
in previous years.
Asks Why Expenditures Jumped.
Senator Kellogg inquired why, in
spite of increased revenues, the pro-
portion of expenditures to receipts
had jumped from So per cent in the
first ten months of 1917 to so per cent
in that period of 1918.
