sideration.
MERCER Is DISCUSSED

Thorough investigation into the A.
nancial status, Of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company was
launched yesterday by the Public Util-
tiles Commission OF the District after
careful consideration Of the formal
petition of the company for an in
creased rate Of cent straight fare.
with 2 cent transfers on its own lines.
The commission took up the appli-
cation OF the company at the weekly
meeting yesterday afternoon in the
office OF Engineer Commissioner
Charles w. Kutz. As a result of the
conference 1t was decided to con-
duct an extensive probe Of the earn
ings OF the Washington Railway and
Electric Company and check up on
figures presented by President william
r. Ham.
The date for a formal ,hearing was
not set. I'VE will investigate every
point contained in the petition before
calling a public hearing to consider
the company's application" declared
Col. Kutz.
The question OF merging the two
local street car companies will un-
doubtedly be brought up again when
the hearing on the latest petition be-
gins.
William NICK. Clayton, counsel for
the Federation OF Citizens Associa-
tions. who has urged a merger at
previous hearings which have been
held, is said to. be preparing to re-
sumo the fight to atain this consoli-
dation.
The possibility that the Capitol Trac-
ton Company will be asked to accept
another big slice of unasked for
profits at the expense of the public
is viewed with alarm by officials OF
the citizens bodies. who will not
stand for such a donation. II is said.
