Will be asked of the public service
commission next week by the Wash

Electric railway.
Auditors are now compiling the
revenues of the company to deter
mine the amount of increase. Only
passenger fares are affected
There is a difference of So cents on
round-trip tickets and 80 cents on
single fares from Baltimore to Wash
lngton between the rates charged by
the Washington, Baltimore and An
napolis and the steam railroads. The
electric line will not ask that the
tares be equaliZed, but will seek a
higher rate than it now receives.
The management claims that rates
on that road are lower than those
charged by any other road in the
United States. 1t further will point
out that revenues are far inadequate
and that relief in the form of higher
fares must be Immediately fOrthcom-
ing.
This will make the third utility
company to ask the commission to
approve an increase in the charge for
service. Hearing on the application
of the United Railways and Electric
Company for authority to advance its
fare to Z i2 cents has been concluded,
and the decision is expected within a
