RAILWAY Value
REPORT IN WEEK
Public Will Know Experts
Appraisement Of Capital
Traction Company.

Washington will know how much
the Capital Traction Company Is
worth in the eyes OF the Public Util-
ties Commission within a week.
Concluding arguments in the yalua-
ton hearings OF the Capital Trac-
tion Company were presented before
the Commissioner yesterday.
Technicalities prevailed. Commis-
sioner Rutz declared that the Com
mission might need a period of time
after the presentation Of the final ar
guments before setting the valuation
on the lines.
After this has been done. and the
Utilities Commission has announced
the valuation OF the company, the
corporation may follow the lead Of
the Pepco and appeal the case to
the courts. Justice Gould for the past
year has had the appeal from the de-
cision Of the Utilities Commission by
the Electric Company
When these cases come out OF the
courts the figures will probably be
presented to Congress in accordance
with a resolution adopted by that body
20 inquire into traction conditions
here with a view to public ownership.
