v. R. & T. TO ASK
FOR zone FARES
# RATE IS CUT
Prof. Richey, Expert, Comes
Here to Make New
Plans.
WILL PRESENT THEM
AT THURSDAYS HEARING
Costs of Operation Have Mounted
Since First Move
:. Made.

The Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company will make another ef-
fort to have a zone system of fares
established if the Public Utilities
Commission lowers the present uni
form fare or gives the Capital Trac-
ton Company a reduction in rate.
This became known today with the
arrival in the city of Prof. Alpere
s. Richey of Worcester, Mass, an eA-
pert on the zone system.
Prof. Richey began Immediately an
investigation to determine what rates
would have to be charged in the Two
zones to give the Washington Rail
way and Electric Company reasoh-
able return on it's valuation.
Former Suggestion.
Two years ago. when the zone sys-
tenn was first proposed, Prof. Richey
told the commission the fares would
have to be cents in the inner clrc!e
and 8 cents in :se outer zone. Whlle
he has not mad time since arriving
to 70 over existing conditions IN
the belief today that those two rates
would not be sufficient now costs OF
operation have mounted since that
time and in addition, he pointed OUT
the volume of traffic has fallen OF;
Before estimating what fares woui9
1t would be necessary to take tIanic
counts to determine what percentage
of passengers ride into the outer zone.
Fare for Second Zone.
II was intimated that the fare for
the second zone under existing con-
ditions might be cents. with rare
for the inner zone that would COM
pare with the needs OF the Capital
Traction Company.
The boundaries of the first zone as
formerly fixed by Prof. Richey Were:
Georgia avenue and Park road, 36tn
and Prospect streets. North Capltoi
and Michigan avenue, 4th street ana
Rhode Island avenue northeast; 15th
and H streets northeast and the
north side of the Anacostia bridge.
This boundary left the Tenleytown
and Bladensburg lines wholly in the
second zone.
1t was made clear by S. r. Bowen.
vice president of the company. that
tine zone system will be asked for
only in the event the commission
should decide to disturb the present
fare.
Fare Company Asks.
Eight cents cash, with tokens at
four for 80 cents, as the least the
Washington Railway and Electric can
operate on, Mr.. Bowen said. and If the
commission proposes to reduce this
rate on both companies. or to reduce
IT only on the Capital Traction lines.
his company would have to insist upon
measured service.
Under the zone limits as fixed by
Prof. Richey before. there would be
only two Capital Traction lines in the
outer zone-the Chevy Chase line and
a short stretch of the 14th street line,
which runs to Colorado avenue.
Prof. Richey expects to have his
new zone plans ready when the street
car hearing opens next Thursday
morning, at 1890 o'clock in the board
room of the District building.

 IL Is notable that ill the convention of the nineteenth century the women attacked for wearing many clothes. while the latest outbreak is because they wear too few It seems impossible for them to dress please that whom their dress should concern In ether words should mind his pie. But the beasy desire to dictate and rule the gentler surgng upward in this day and age it did in the enteenth century.
 But it is all to avail for the truth is that women al- have been and always will be law unto themselves regarding their dress.
