To Washington Street Car Patrons

Public Utilities Commission asking
it to approve an increase in fare on
all street cars operated in the Dis
trict of Columbia, to 10 cents cash
or 4 tokens for 80 cents.
Such an appeal to the Commits
sion was necessary because of the
long continued shrinkage in our
earnings, which are now and for
years have been insufficient to
keep up and improve the service,
provide for the future and furnish
a moderate compensation for the
owners of the property which the
public uses.
Had the directors considered
only the rights of the Company
they would have filed an applica-
ton for an increase more than four
years ago and the application pre-
sented to the Commission today
would have been made for very
much greater fare than they now
request.
But they refrained from taking
action, hoping that the necessity
for taking it might be postponed,
either because of a merger of the
transportation systems of the Dis
trict, with resulting economies in
operation, or because the steady
and long continued inroads of the
private automobile into the COM
pany's business, would lessen.
So far as the merger is con-
cerned, both this Company and the
two others involved in it, have done
everything in their power to carry
out the expressed wish of Congress
for a unification of facilities in the
public service.
Following the definite terms of
an Act which Congress passed sew
eral years ago, an agreement for
such a unifcation was signed by
the companies. With important
notifications it was approved by
the Public Utilities Commission.
Those notifications were, in turn,
accepted by the companies.
As required by the Act of Con-
gress, the unification plan was
sent to the Capitol>for approval by
the Senate and House, without
which the companies cannot merge.
When the agreement, as modified
by the Commission, failed to meet
the approval of the Senate District
Committee and it employed one of
the foremost utility experts in the
country to work out a solution, the
companies gave him every possible
assistance.
But Congress approved neither
the original plan of the companies,
the original plan as modified by
the Utilities Commission, nor the
very much changed proposal of the
Senate Committees expert, which
was adopted by that Committee and
favorably reported to the Senate.
The merger agreement, signed by
the companies in February, 1923,
expired on June l, 1929. Steps
looking to improved service and
economies which would have been
possible under any of the plans
mentioned cannot now be taken
until Congress acts.
In June, 1923, we asked the Com
mission to approve an application
e.. n,a i,an,.onnn IN fn,.o 70 A;dn ,,n
The Washington times., 1929-06-14

however, did not act upon that ap-
plication, giving as it's reason the
hope that Congress would approve
the unification last winter.
We are now applying for the
same increase we requested last
June-a fare Of 10 cents cash with
A tokens sold on the cars for 80
cents-an increase of only five
sixths (5-6ths) Of a cent for those
patrons who regularly use our SER
vice, and reduction of 10 cents in
the amount invested in tokens at
one time.
This rate, if granted, will give the
company much less than the
amount considered a reasonable
return on the value of its property
used by the public, but the manage
ment is still hopeful that conditions
will improve. 1t does not want to
ask the Commission to put any
burden on the car rider greater
than is absolutely necessary.
During the twelve months that
ended April 80, 1929, The Capital
Traction Company earned only
$50 per cent on the value of its
property as established by the
court of last resort, or only about
half Of what has been accepted as
minimum reasonable return by
the Supreme Court of the United
States, and generally by Commits
sions and Courts. To enable us to
earn Z per cent under present con-
ditions, would require a cash fare
of 10 cents without tokens.
There are scores of cities that
have gone through the same ex-
perience that Washington is un-
dergoing. And in those cities fares
have been raised to meet condi-
tions for which the street railways
are in no way responsible; the con-
stant reduction in business which
the private automobile has caused.
Cities are many where the fare today
is 10 cents cash with token rate higher
than the for 80 cents rate which we
are asking for Washington. Included in
that list are to be found: Boston, Balti-
more, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Davenport,
East st. Louis, Fort Worth, Grand
Rapids, Hartford, New Haven, Norfolk,
Pittsburgh, San Antonio, Salt Lake City,
Seattle, Springfield, Illinois; Springfield,
Massachusetts; Toledo, Waterbury, Con-
necticut, as we'll as others.
In every one of the cities mentioned
the street railways are operated by the
overhead trolley system-Which costs
about one-third as much to install as the
underground conduit system in use in
Washington.
We have practiced strict economy in
operation. We have hoped and believed
that the inroads of the private automo-
bile would lessen. They have not. Nor
would the most optimistic street rail-
way man forecast when they will, al
though all are convinced that future city
growth and development will continue to
depend on high-grade public transporta-
tion by street car and bus.
Those are the facts, stated simply and
fairly. Our patrons are entitled to the
best type of service; our stockholders to
fair compensation for the use of their
property. To insure those things we
must have higher fare The directors
and the management believe the public
will appreciate the situation and will
realize that an increase in fares would
be in the interest of all concerned.

Sherid, Yank Hurler,
On Landis' Garnet

CLEVELAND, May 15.-The New
York Yankees. whose most press
ing need is pitchers, today were
faced with the possibility Of losing
the services of Roy Sherrid. rookie
hurler. The st. Louis Cardinals
are understood to be claiming him
as their property. and Sherrid left
here last night for Chicago to be
questioned there today by Com.
missioner Kenesaw M. Lands con.
cerning his status.
Sherrid. then an amateur, .1as
tried out by the Salisbury club in
the Eastern Shore League in
Maryland for five weeks in 1926.
He was released Internationally.
but the Cardinals claim he should
have gone to them because they
have a working agreement with
the Salisbury club giving them
first claim on all its players.
Sherrid says he signed no con.
tract to play professional ball with
any club before signing with the
Yanks last year. There is pos.
sibility that he may be declared a
free agent
