WILL ASK CONGRESS

Citizens Associations Also to
Urge Separate Utilities
Commission.

The Federation Of Citizens Asso-
Citations will resume it's efforts this
winter to have Congress enact Iegis-
lation to bring about a merger of
local street railway lines and also
to create a separate Public Utilities
Commission
w. B. Westlake, president of the
federation, said last night he has
learned that a new bill will be in
troduced in Congress as soon as that
body assemblies that will have the
twofold object of a merger and the
creation OF a utilities commission
apart from the board of District Com
missioners.
Lower Car Fares Possible.
President Westlake added that from
what he has heard of this bill it will
make possible Substantial reduc-
tion in car fare
The House District committee de-
voted much Of its time at the last
session to consideration of Washing
toms street car problems. and several
bills were framed. Because Of the
pressure of other legislation, how
ever. Congress was not able to act.
1t is probable that at the forthcom-
ing session the question OF changing
the method OF taxing the street rail-
way companies also viii be revived.
At the last session the Commission
ers recommended abolition OF the
present 4 per cent tax on the gross
revenue Of the companies and the sub
stitution of a tax only on earnings
in excess of a 6 per cent return on
the fair value Of the roads.
Company Wants Tax Change.
The Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company has been looking for
ward to change in the method of
taxation partially to relieve the
shortage in revenue which it esti-
mates it will suffer annually under
the present rate of fare.
Those who are advocating a sepa-
rate Public Utilities Commission con-
tend that the many duties devolying
upon the District Commissioners
make it impossible for them to de-
vote to utility problems the amount
of time those problems deserve.
They point out that this is espe-
cially true in these times. when
fiuctuating prices make frequent re-
visions of rates necessary.
The Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations will resume its activities
after the summer recess on the first
Saturday in October.
