ALL ROADS COVERED
BY MERGER PLAN
Commissioner Kutz Denies
Maryland Subsidiaries
Are Excluded.

Statements to the effect that the
bill providing for a merger of the
Capital Traction and Washington
Railway and Electric systems, sent
to Congress with the approval of the
District Commissioners. would prevent
merger of the subsidiary lines Of the
companies in Maryland were denied
today by Engineer Commissioners
kutZ.
Commissioner Kutz said that the
bill drawn with the approval of the
Commissioners provides for merging
all of the lines owned and operated
by the two companies. The fact that
it does not state in terms that the
Maryland lines are to be included.
he said, means nothing. as the meas
ure specifically provides for merging
the lines operated by the two COM
panies, and this certainly includes
lines outside the District as we'll as
those within. -
President Ham Pleased.
When President Ham OF the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company
was told of Commissioner Kutz's
statement he expressed satisfaction,
saying that his readings of the So
called Commissioners bill had led him
to believe that Maryland lines op-
Grated by either of the two COM
panieS were not lNCluueu III Tie Aei
ger provisions.
The object of the bill sent to Con-
gress with the approval of the Com
missioners is to bring about a con-
solidation of the two companies and
the street railway systems operated
by them, Commissioner Kutz stated.
'"The thing sought to be accom- :
plished under the bill" he said, lis
to bring the two companies and their
properties-all of them-under sin
gle management; and I believe that
section 3 of the bill makes such
consolidation of all of the properties
possible"
Section of Bill Quoted.
Section Of the bill reads as fol-
lows:
.'That it shall be lawful for two or
more public utilities operating in the
District of Columbia Incorporated by
enecial acts of Congress and rendering
like service in the District of Column
bia to consolidate their properties
