The action of the Public Utilities
Commission in denying the Washing

the grounds that the administrative

In making it's decision the COM
mission pointed out that it was
cognizant of the fact that the in
creased fare granted the company
in May for 10 cents cash or three
tickets for 25 cents, has been in
effect only during three relatively
low passenger carrying months. and
that the company used these months
as a basis for its contention for a
