GAR FARES
BY BOARD
Members Think Four Tickets
for rs Cents Would BE Too
Hard on w. R. & E.

Although the members of the Pub
lie Utilities Commission have not met
to consider the street car fare deci-
sion. they have been studying the
testimony as individuals and have
pra ractically decided two points:
First. that separate rates Of fare for
the Washington Railway and Electric
and the Capital Traction companies
would not be practical.
Second that four tickets for %
cents would be too low a uniform fare
at this time to meet the needs of the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company.
This leaves two alternatives-con-
tinuation of the present rate of four
tokens for 30 cents or reduction to
I cents straight.
VIII Take Up Car Fares.
The commission, when il meets
Thursday. is likely to consider what
il the lowest fare that could be hxed
if the two companies were consoli-
dated but there is not much chance
of putting such rate INTO erect
Immediately.
Even il the new commission should
make Roadway in bringing about a
voluntary merger. it could hardly az
feet the rate of fare Whlch must oe
nut into effect April ].
reduction of half cent in the
rate of fare means cut of S375.o0o
a wear in the revenue of each COM
pany. a member of the commission
pointed out.
on this basis. the revenues of the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company would be reduced by nearly
million dollars il the former rate of four
tokens for 25 cents should be re-
stored This fact, it is believed. will
prevent the commission from restor-
ing that rate.
Board to Keep Powers.
The commission. it was indicated
today, will not grant the plea that
no time limit be placed on the fare
order. but that provision be made
by which the commission could re-
consider the rate at any time.
One objection held at the District
building to such a wording of the
order is that if the cost of rendering
service drops lower during the year
the burden of reopening the rate
question might rest on the commits
sion. whereas if the new rate Is fixed
for six or nine months 1t would
come up for revision automatically
at the end of the year.
