Apparently not. Merger questions
directed today to people chosen at
random seem to bring the almost
unanimous answer that a reduced
fsre is$the only thing which makes
merger worth while.
Here's what they say:
w. S. Perry, Sixth and d streets
northwest: 1T would be hne for the
people. Ham. of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company is op-
posed to IL because he owns Glen
Echo, and he doesn't want to ehare
the profits Of the line which carries
amusement-seeking Washington to
that spot. II the two lines were
merged. each would be in a position
to buy materials more cheaply, as
they would not. outbid each other. and
the larger company would be able to
tuy in greater quantity"
BOTH LINES MAKE PROFITS.
Henry Hardt, Sixth and Maryland
avenue northeast: Merger of the
two lines should certainly reduce the
fgre. Both companies must be maxi
ing good profts. A Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company conductor
tcld me Sunday he had collected 1918
feres In three trips to Glen Echo.
That doesn't look like the Transports
tion business Is out of luck" 80
Mrs. william Lewis Dunno, 1901
Phelps place northwest: 81 am heart
lily in favor Of a merger, for l believe
II is the only method to make street
car service efficient, comfortable and
cheaper A merger would undoubted-
ly benefit the people"
William Everett, elevator operator,
Union Savings Bank building: The
traction companies ought to have a
scent fare whether they combine or
not. Look at the string OF thirty.five
or forty cars that come down Four
teenth street every morning at rush
hour, all packed to the platforms, and
then ask IL they're making money"
A nameless MAJOR aboard Mt.
Pleasant car: "A merger will un-
doubtedly mean greater convenience,
IL 1t includes universal transfer priv
ileges. Though IL probably should
bring a reduced fare, merger may
not necessarily do the trick. Fares on
the two lines, while they are separa-
ted cannot very well be unequal, be-
cause the more expensive car line
would be deserted in favor OF the
cheaper, 70 II might not be bad Idea
to combine the lines"
