All Transfers Free.

The Petworth Citizens Association
went on record last night as disap'
proving the proposed raise in taxes
in the District of Columbia. at the

In the resolution adopted it was
stated that the proposed raise was
not justified by existing conditions

penses thereof
FavOrs Flat Rate of Fare.
The association also voted that i
considers the fiat fare for street car
TRANSPORTATION to be firmly establish
ed as public policy and that the Pub
lie Utilities Commission acted wisely
in refusing to authorize zone sys-
tenn. but that the commission was
not justified in continuing to charge
for intercompany transfers and
should require the companies to issue
such transfers without charge. as the
passengers have no interest in the
ownership of the lines used in max
ing a trip.
A resolution was passed approving
the recommendation of the Commits
sioners of the District that railway
companies be relieved of all taxation
on gross revenues and be taxed only

protest was made to the authorities

Mayor Chamberlin suggested that the special committee of the council, Mcssers Orlander and Horner, take up with the commission the operation of an excursion train from Seward on Sunday morning, July 4th. As 1t IS the train out of Seward on July 3rd IS the regular train. Sewardites going to Anchorage on July 2 and returning on Tuesday would have longer stay away from business than is thought feasible. If a train was operated from Seward on Sunday, leaving here at 2 or s o'cloci: in the morning, many would be able to take advantage of the trip but would not be able to go if on the regular train on Saturday. The suggestion of the Mayor was adopted by the council and the committee instructed to work for a special train if possible.
