TRACTION MERGER
DETAILS PREPARED
Utilities Body viii Confer
With Wilson on Program
Tomorrow.

Harley F. Wilson, owner Of the
Washington Rapid Transit Co. viii
submit to the Public Utilities Com.
mission tomorrow. additional details OF
his plan for consolidating the trans
porta ton systems of the District. The
commission has arranged to confer
with him at 1890 O'Clock.
When Mr.. Wilson officially presented
the general outline of his plan to the
commission Monday, he made 1t clear
that there were several other features
md details which were lacking and
would he supplied at a later date. What
these features and details concern has
not been revealed.
Similar to Old Plans.
After more thorough examination
of Mr.. Wilson's plan, utilities experts
at the District Building, indicated to-
day that aside from a few minor
changes. it is virtually identical with
the one submitted to the District Com
missioners two years ago by the North
American Co. of New York. which is
represented as owning a controlling
interest in the Washington Railway
& Electric Co. and a large share of
the Capital Traction Co.'S stock.
At that time the proposal was to
merge the companies on the basis OF
a 10000, 900 valuation with a guaran-
teed per cent annual return of 3d..
100000. Former Commissioners j.
Franklin Bell and Cuno II. Rudolph
opposed the proposition. The former
objected to an agreed valuation, while
Mr.. Rudolph opposed the service-at-
cost feature AS a result the plan
never reached the point of considera-
ton of details. 4t ~, {.

In the Wilson plan. 1t was pointed
out, has been added an additional capi.
talization of $2.700,000 to represent

ments, chiefly Of track, and 81 ,000. 900
for an adjustment fund to insure the
consolidated company against failure
to earn Z per cent
The Wilson plan, therefore, it was
said, raised the annual net income re-
quirement from the $3,500,00 of the
North American Co. plan to the pro.
posed $3,689, 900 of the, Wilson scheme
One other difference, it was ex-
planned. is that whereas the Wilson
plan proposes that existing street car
fares be kept In force until one year
after consolidation of the companies,
the North American CO. did not sug-
gest change for two years
The North American Co.'S proposal
was made to the Commissioners by
r. w. Doolittle, one of it's representa-
tives, and the conference at which it
was presented was attended by Of
ficials of the Washington Railway &
