Merger OF the Washington Rail-

plan for service at cost, is favored
by William F. Ham, president Of the
W. r & E., who presented his an
nual report for the year ending
December 81, 1919 to the stockholders
today.
President Ham told the stock
holders that the railway company
must receive a greater return on its
investment and that it's is absolutely
necessary that the Public Utilities
Commission grant higher rate Of
fare soon.
Comment On Merger.
Unless further relief can be OBJ

the integrity of our property is seri-

President Ham points out that
while the gross income OF the COM
pany has increased by rs per cent
since 1914. the cost of operating the
company has increased $50 per cent

crops in 1919 is estimated

1914. Bank deposits in 1919
amounted to almost 16 bill

double that Of 1914. The
number Of business failures
for the nine months ending
September 30th, as reported
by r. G. Dun, were a little
