SEES DISASTER IN CITY
OWNERSHIP OF CAR LINES

New York. June 1s-Municipal !
ownership IS tie worst possible solu-
tion Of the street-car transportation
problem. John H. Pardee, president
of tho American Electric Railway AS
socIation. declared in an address at the
convention Of the National Electric
Credit Association here vest erday. From
the viewpoint OF the public it would be
disastrous, he and.
During the last few years. Mr..
Pardec dc clarcd. electric railways meet
inc compel ition of motor vehicles, have
be.n handicapped by municipal reguls-
tIon While no share Of street maintenance
taxes was torne by the automobile car
rlers. The same regulations should ap-
plv. both to traction lines and motor
buses. he said.
Declaring that in one State 325,-
100000 street railway passengers had
10 pav an extra fare in order that 106,-
OO0 passengers might enjoy 'iitneY'
service at lower rate, Mr.. Pardee de-
clsred that more latitude must be granted
the franchised carriers in respect to SER
vice rendered and fares if they were to
be saved from the necessity Of going out of
business.
