The national park service Of the In
terror Department has submitted esti-
mates for the construction of trans
mountain road over the continental
divide. connecting the east ana west
sides of Glacier National Park. The

the desirability of the road, which would

JONES BILL IS PENDING
Measure Seeks to Equalize Earn

! Tax Method.

Strong sentiment exists in the Senate
to bring about a merger of the two
street car companies Of the District Of
Columbia. Senator Jones OF Washing
ton and Senator Capper Of Kansas. both
members Of the District committee. have
advocated such a merger and others OF
their colleagues are interested In the
matter. The course which has been
adopted by the House District com
mittee looking to a merger will ind a
response in the Senate.
Senator Jones has introduced In the
Senate the bill prepared by the District
Commissioners looking to a merger. This
bill seeks to equalize the earnings Of
the two companies by changing the
method Of taxation. The Jones bill is
now pending before the Senate District
committee, but SO far no action has
been taken upon it
at present, as pointed out by both
street car company could operate and
earn meney at a considerably lower
fare than that exacted of the public.
The higher fare is charged because
the second company could not get
along without the additional receipts.
Unless something is done to better
conditions by merger, Senator Jones
Is OF the opinion that the government
of the District ultimately should take
the street car lines over and operate
them.
Senator Norris Of Nebraska also has

EXPLAINS REPAIR COSTS.
Atlantic Coast Line Has Cut Ca
Dacftv Of Own Shons

Charges that the Atlantic Coast Line
railroad Is paying for repairs or re-
building locomotives and cars in oat-
side shops four or fve times what It
would, cost to rebuild or repair In its
own shops were denied today by the
railroad.
The road announced that the reason
it sent its repair jobs to outside
shops was because its shop capacity
had been decreased by 80 per cent
and it was thus unable to handle its
own work. The Baldwin locomotive
works have practically rebuilt twenty
locomotives owned by the road and
are rebuilding ten more. No cars
have been built at outside shops. the
roads statement said, adding that no
director or other officer has any di-
rect or indirect interest in either the
Baldwin or the American locomotive
works.
Since March 1890, the statement
said, the railroad has ordered more
than a million dollars worth Of mod
ern shop tools and machinery and mas
increased it's motive power organi-
zation. 1t hopes to be able to meet
future repair and rebuilding equip
ment requirements without the as
ststahce of outside shops.
