quest to allow the present rates of fare

other three months beginning June 80.

duced the token rate on his buses
from four for SO cents to 10 for 81.
The cash fare of Is cents remained UNI
changed. After q two-month expert
mental period, he told the commission
that he was losing money and asked
for resumption of the old rate of

FARE QUESTIONING
BRINGS FLEHARTY
DIVERSION OF VIEWS
BrightWOod and Midcity Citi-
zens' Associations Opposed
to Any Increase.
TRADE BOARD FAVORS
! UNIFORM CAR FARE RATE
Garfield Body Suggests ,10-Cent
Fare With Four Tokens for
Is Cents.

Peoples Counsel Ralph B. Fleharty
has received replies to his QUESTIONABLE
asking for the opinion of the civic
organizations on the Capital Traction
Co.'S request for increased fares from
four associations representing wide
diversion of views.
The Brightwood Citizens Association
and the Midcity Citizens Association
expressed their opposition to any in
crease in car fares. The Washington
Board of Trade favored uniform car
fare and held that all utilities were
entitled to "a fair return on approved
valuation but making no statement
as to the size Of the fare that should be
charged.
Garfield Suggests Rate.
TIL Garfield Civic Association sug-
gested a Decent fare, with four tokens
TO be sold for IS cents. Members of
this association are compelled to pay
two fares to get to town, one on the
Washington Railway & Electric Co. bus
and another on the street car from the
terminus at Anacostia. Thus it costs
them a minimum of 1873 cents to get
to town, and a 10-cent car fare, with a
free transfer from car to bus, would be
an actual reduction in their rate.
This association win be given sepa-
Capital Traction Co.'S case, July 90.
They complain that the service on the
buses Is inadequate and the fares too
high.
File Separate Petition.
Former Representative Gilbert of
Kentucky said today that he would file
in a few days petition asking the
Public Utilities Commission to institute
half fares for school children on street
cars and buses in the District in Sep
TENDER, in time for children to get the
benefit of the reduced fares at the
opening OF the school year, whether the
petition of the Capital Traction Co. for
higher fares has been settled by that
time or not. Mr.. Gilbert, former menu
Der of the House District committee. is
acting in the matter as counsel for
John j. Noonan.
The petition will ask fer half fares
for children on their way to public
schools and to parochial or private
schools corresponding to grade or high
schools The fares will not be asked
for in the case of students attending
business or technical private schools.
1t will be based in part on the hard
ship worked on many poor parents
under the compulsory school attendance
law, where the parents are compelled
to send their children to schools too far
away to allow the children to walk.
Mr. Gilbert said that he expected
that the petition would be joined by
the Federation OF Citizens Associations
and representatives Of organized labor
after it is filed. The federation Is al
ready on record as favoring the half
fares, although it has as yet filed no
formal petition. The action was taken
last Saturday night.
