ROUTE
Capital Traction Co. Makes Di-
rect Connection Between
Southwest and Southeast.

Buses connecting southeast
with southwest Washington were
put into operation by the Capital
Traction Company today. The
motor buses run from Eleventh
and M streets southeast to Four
and-a-half street southwest.
Sought By Citizens.
Establishment of this service,
which has long been sought by &1i-
zens of these two sections, will do
away with the present necessity of
taking roundabout routes from
southeast to southwest, by way of
Pennsylvania avenue and north and
south street car lines.
Two busses were put in service
today, giving a twelve-minute serv-
ice both ways. Company officials
said that they believed this service
would be more than adequate to
handle all traffic likely to beN de-
veloped for some time to come.
The route of the line follows:
Eastbound, from Four and One-Half
and P street, southwest along p
street to Third street, Third street
to M street southeast, M street to
Eleventh and M; westbound, from
Eleventh and M street southeast
along M street to Third street
southwest, Third to L street, l. to
Water, Water to P, and along P
to Four and One-Half street.
The fare on the new line will be
six tokens for 40 cents, or s cents
cash. Two-cent transfers will be
issued to and from buses and street
cars of the Traction Company and
the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company at connecting points.
Additional transfers will be issued
free.
Service to KensingtOn.
The new line is operated by the
Traction Company, but its profits or
expenses will be shared jointly by
the two car companies.
Buses will start running about
$40 a. m. from either end of the
route and the last buses will start
at midnight.
The Capital Traction Company
announced today that it had for
| mally taken over he thevy Chase
Kensington line. For the present
there will be no change in service.
AS soon as the tracks are put in
repair, the green cars of the Trac-
ton Company will be put into oper-
alton and through service from
downtown Washington to Kensing-
ton will start.
