Public Utilities Commission today
taking issue with the Commission
on various statements it made con
corning the financial condition of
the Washington Rapid Transit
Company.
He points out the company claims
it is valued at $193 900, but in a
sworn statement of the collector of
taxes states the property is worth
$32.67S.
Mr.. Clayton says the company
earning is nearly 90 per cent in

He asks that the recent order
denying the company a 10-cent fare
be amended to show the true and
