Chances for official approval of the
application Of the Capital Traction
Company for permission to operate a

Chevy Chase Circle and the Capitol
are very favorable it was learned to-
day at the District Building, on the
eve of the announcement by the Pub
lie Utilities Commission of it's decision
in the matter.
Contrarily. the Washington Rapid
Transit Company's application appears
to have very little chance of receiv-
ing the o. X. of the commission.
The decision of the commission is
expected to be made public following
its meeting tomorrow afternoon.
View of the Commissioners.
1t is known that the Commissioners
unalterably are opposed to granting
permits for bus lines which will COM
pete with existing street railway lines,
such as, it is said. the transit COM
pany's proposed 10-cent bus line would
do on Connecticut avenue.
The attitude of the utilities COM
mission will not meet with the favor
of the Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations, whose brief opposing the Cap
ital Traction application now is be-
fore the commission for conSidera-
ton. The brief was filed Saturday
night by William NICK. Clayton.
The brief declared the grant of the
railway company's application would
be opposed to public policy in that
one of the great duties imposed by
Congress upon this regulatory body
Is for the commission to compel the
public service companies to operate
economically at all times, to save and
conserve the peoples money devoted
to the upkeep and operation of their
properties. not to eXtravagantly
waste it in an experiment seeking
to encourage snobbish pride and un-
American caste on public transporta-
ton lines regulated by the State"
Competition Not Involved.
In the case of the railway company S
proposal no competition is involved,
it Is pointed out by high District au-
thorities. Their attitude Is that il the
company wishes to operate a parlor-
car bus line on a 25-cent fare and the
public is willing to pay that fare the
commission can see no objection to
the plan, as commuters not desiring
TO pay the high fare may use the
street cars.
1t is considered likely the commits
sion also will approve the loop" bus
line. operating into outlying sections
of Chevy Chase for the purpose of
conveying passengers to the circle for
transfer to street cars or busses.
When the commission takes the rival
petitions under formal consideration
tomorrow afternoon 1t will have be-
fore it not only the protest of the
federation against the traction COM
pany's application, but additional pro-
tests of prominent residents of streets
over which the busses would operate.
One of the protestants Is Secretary
of State Kellogg.
