BUS HEADS CLAIM
FARE RAISE VITAL
36 New Buses Promised by
May if 10-Cent Charge
is Allowed.

Replacement of all of its So busses
with new ones by next May, If
straight 10cent fare Is granted, was
promised by Leon Arnold, president
OF the Washington Rapid Transit
Company, Mt the public hearing on
the company's petition before the
Utilities Commission today.
The company based It's plea for an
increase on the following grounds.
briefly stated: That all of it's busses
are near the end of their service
life. that garage In which to store
them must be provided and that
wages OF operators arc to be in
creased If the petition is allowed.
The new busses, which Mr.. Arnold
said would be the best obtain
able, would cost S2SS,O The new
garage would require an outlay of
s120,0 and the advance In wages
would amount to between $4,000 and
$4,000 q year.
Clayton opposes Raise.
William Mex. Clayton. represent
ing the Federation of Citizens As
sociations. vigorously opposed the ap-
plication and at one point moved that
the commission dismiss the applica-
ton.
Mr.. Clayton based his motion for
dismissal of the petition on the
ground that the commission in Its
previous order of last August stated
that it regarded the administrative
overhead of the company excessive.
The federation spokesman declared
the company had not acted on the
suggestion Of the commission since
that time. Mr.. Clayton also sought
to restrict the testimony to recent
Operations of the company.
Mr. Clayton's motion to dismiss was
overruIed by Col. Bell. chairman OF
the commission, who stated that the
commission would be treadtng, on
dangerous ground to deny a company
the right to be heard because IT had
failed to comply with a suggestion
of the commission
Cites Commission Policy.
Col. Bell also said he thought II
would be dangerous precedent for
the commission to restrict the testi-
mony TO operations OF the company
for limited period. The Commits
sioners endeayor, Col Bell said, both
in zoning and utility matters. to get
all the facts possible on questions
under discussion.
AT the outset of the hearing Mt
CLAYTON suggested that the commits
sion could give the company the
benefit of straight l0-cent fare
without actually ordering IL by pro-
viding that tokens be sold at Tor
25 cents at the company's barn only.
Conrad IL. Syme, counsel for the
bus company. read lengthy brief
to the commission, setting forth the
results Of operations since the com
uany was started tending to support
the contention that a straight 10-cent
fare is essential. At the present time
the company charges 10 cents for a
cash ride, but Is required to sell
tokens at for 25 cents.
E V. Fisher. executive secretary
to the commission, and Nal w. f. r.
CoveIl, Col. Bells assistant. cross
examined President Arnold as to de-
tails OF the proposed wage increase
for operators and the erection of the
garage
The commission will take the testi-
mony under advisement and render
its decision later.
