pany. This request Is expected
to be denied.
| Next comes the Woodley road

road This request probably will
be granted. Conrad II. Syme, at.
! torney for the Washington Rapid
Transit Company. is now oppos-
ing before the commission any bus
! routes for street railway COM
panies, claiming the commission Is
without authority to give them
such permission.
CITIZENS SEEKING BUSES.
Citizens ofs Northeast Washing
ton, near North Capitol and Rhode
Island avenue, are seeking to have
the bus line of the Rapid Transit
Company extend its terminus from
Second and T streets northwest TO

the third time.

downtown Washington is vigor-
ously opposed by citizens in the
suburbs. The Washington Rail.
way and Electric Company pro-
poses to abandon part of this
service.
The commission. il is understood,
are up in the air" about the pro
posed change. The granting Of
permission to operate a bus line on
Woodley road however. may re
suit in the commission discontin'
uing the through service. contend
. ing the bus route gives ample
service TO the downtown district.
PHONE RATE DISPUTE.
The request OF the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone Company
comes up for hearing on Monday
morning, November q. The com
pany seeks to reduce its unlimited
rate from $3.50 to IS a month. II
is said the commission favors ex
tending the 50-cent reduction over
all services. The company opposes
this and will object strenuously at
the hearing.
On December s. the commission
will hold a public hearing to con
slider a petition from the United
Transportation Company, newly
organized. for permission to run
bus line from Fifteenth and
Maryland avenue northeast To
Twenty first and B streets north
west.
