Street Cars Get Right-of-Way
as Result of Utilities.
Group Hearing


Street railway officials today
forced the Public Utilities Com
mission to q compromise in the
boulevard stop system, as APP
piled to street cars.
Commissioner ]. Franklin Bell,
presiding, indicated that system
will be worked out whereby street
cars will be granted right Of way
over arterial highway traffic ex-
cept at a few intersections where
safety demands that the street
ears be brought to a stop.
Court Action Hinted.
The compromise suggestion fol.
lowed an intimation by street rail-
way officials, after a heated attack
on the stop regulation as a serious
OF the railway companies, that the
case would be taken linton the
courts unless the utilities commits
sion yielded.
It is probable that where heavily
Travelled street car lines cross
arterial highways Slow signs will
be painted on the boulevards and
motorists be compelled to slow down
to yield right of way to the cars.
Compulsory stopping of all street
cars at arterial highway intersec-
lions not only would infringe the
charter rights of the street railways
but would inconvenience every street
car rider in Washington and in
A.
liam f. Ham. president of the
Washington Railway & Electric
Company, told the commission.
President Ham declared that the
lines of his company alone intersect
the highways boulevards already
established I'M Washington at forty
one different points and that dur
ing the course of a year every one
of 19O, 900, 600 passengers handled
annually would be Inconvenience.
Examples Cited
''To give you an example OF the
inconvenience this regulation would
cause street car riders, he said.
s''I will cite conditions on tie Ninth
street Georgia avenue line. which
crosses nine arterial highway stop
points. During the days opera.
ton on this line street cars would
be compelled to make 1924 stops
at these nine points, involving
1854 passengers. On another line
$685. stops would have to be made,
involving 10000 passengers"
The charter under which the
street railways. of the District OPP
crate guarantees street cars the
right of way over all traffic excep:
fire apparatus and Similar emer
gency apparatus, Mr.. Ham told the
Commission. This provision he de
clared is vitality essential for the
welfare of street car users and for
prevention of accidents.
Similar arguments against the
stop system were advanced by j.
H. Hanna, vice president and gen.
eral manager of the Capital Trac.
ton Company.
