To Be FOUGHT
R. CO.
Commission Changes Date
Hearing From October 9
October 16-Data Given.

The petition of the Federation
Citizens Associations for lower fSr
on the lines OF the Capital Trac
Company will meet considerable
position, especially from the "
ington Railway and Electric I
pany, II was indicated today.
William F. Ham. president OF %
w. r. & E., would not comment & 1
the company's attitude, but from
reliable source II was learned he
would interpose objections.
Heretofore the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company has been
vigorously against any move to es'
tablish a separate rate OF fare in
Washington. The company has re-
peatedly declared that such a -
will mean practically ruinatior
them.
Figures given out by the W
ington Railway and Electric L
show that the corporation is
ing about AIS per cent on it, U.
vestment under the present rat OF
fare. Two fare rates in Wasl fhg
ton. it is said. would reduce this
earning considerably. throwing
much patronage from the Washing
ton Railway and Electric company
to the other company. .
The Public Utilities Commissioa
today announced that the fare RAJ
bearing would be held on Octobe
l6 instead of 9 as previously a"
nounced.
William Mex. Clayton, chairman
of the public utilities committee OF
the Citizens Federation, declared
today he stands ready to pro-
that the Capital Traction CompF d.
has been earning more than 10 per
cent return since the present fare
has been effective.
