lowing admission of Mrs. Elizabeth

sion, this afternoon was to rule on

gandt at the close of yesterdays
session, as to whether her affidavit
was untrue in regard TO her hus-
bands last known address. which
she had given as Cleveland, Mrs.
Seidenfeld replied:
Yes, l suppose 1t was, II you
look at it that way"

field claimed she did not leave him

MERGER D EAL
IS LIKELY

The Public Utilities Commission
is Of the opinion that some sort Of
merger plan satisfactory to the
public and the traction companies
can and should be evolved out OF
the plan on which hearings have
been held for the past two weeks
and it was learned today they plan
to transmit to Congress modified
plan within the next two weeks.
This position was indicated to-
day by John w. Childress, chair
man Of the commission, who de.
clared that more progress has been
made in recent months toward
unifying the local system than ever
before.
Two vital points will likely be
included in the plan transmitted TO
Congress affecting the rate Of fare
and time limit on rate base.
Representatives of the two street
car systems indicated that q $50.-
0OO,OOO valuation for rate making
purposes might be changed after a
period of five or 10 years. They
left the idea with the Commission
that they might accept an agree
ment calling for revaluation and q
possible change In the rate base Of
So, 100000 at the end OF a fixed
period.
On this basis it is believed that
the commission win seek to modify
the agreement insofar as it relates
to. the rate base and insert a clause
which would authorize a -revalua-
ton at the end Of five or ten years.
The commission, It was learned
today, has before it a schedule
showing the rate of fare charged
by street car companies in the
home towns Of members Of the
Senate and House committees II
charge OF District Of Columbia af-
fairs. Some Of these are lower
than the car fare charged in the
District Of Columbia. =
The traction companies. during
the hearings, indicated that higher
car fares in the District are I'm
evitabIe, merger or no merger.
The utilities commission likely
will seek to insert in the merger
agreement no increase in car fare
for one or two years after the
agreement becomes operative.
