Policeman Mcdonald Succunnbs From Robbers Bullet
v. R. I. WILL ACT
On MERGER
PROPOSAL


The proposal of the Public
Utilities Commission that the
Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company and the Capital
Traction Company get to-
gether on plan for unifica-
ton comes up again tomorrow.
The board of directors Of the
washington Railway Company will
meet with President William F. Ham
to prepare the reply Of the con1-
pany to the request OF the com,
mission that the companies outline
a basis upon which they could get
together or that they state their
reasons for disappearing merger.
The reply of the company to the
letter of Maj. Gen. Mason Patrick,
chairman Of the commission, is anx-
iously awaited in public utility
circles, for 1t is upon this reply that
the future action of the commission
will largely hinge. Immediately
after its receipt by the commission.
that body is expected to issue
statement which viii have a wide
spread effect on the future control
of the transportation companies.
Efforts Futile Thus Far
Thus far in its efforts TO bring
about unification OF the transit Ia
cilities OF the city, the commission.
recently reorganized. is batting ex-
actly zero. 1t has received one re-
ply, that being from the Capital
Traction Company, expressing the
opinion that further consideration
OF the merger project would be
futile
: II the reply which the directors
Of the Washington Railway Company
win frame tomorrow follows the
lines of the Capital Traction
companys' reply. and it is expected
that 1t win, there win be virtual
stalemate. with future developments
entirely mp to the commission.
TO StuGy Recruiting
In addition to taking up the out
right proposal for a merger, put
forth in the commissions original
letter. the board OF directors to-
morrow IL expected TO consider also
the proposal ~ the commission for
a study Of the transit systems with
a view to rerouting of street cars
and to joint use OF trackage by the
two companies in the interest Of
economy.
The commission. It is held in we'll
informed circles, is holding its broad
powers to order rerouting as 4
club to induce the companies to
enter into q new merger agree.
ment. The companies seem to be-
lieve that they did about ali they
could in the direction Of q Hnarger
when they united on the Harley
p. Wilson ratification agreement.
which, after being approved by the
utilities commission, expired on
time agreement after being
smothered for months in Congress.
Although officially the merger
proposition Is divorced entirely from
the application of the lines for an in
crease in fare, it Is nevertheless ex-
pected to loom largely lin the back
ground when the commission opens
hearings on the fare request Mon
day. Both of the companies are
united in the petition, and it is only
natural that the naneuyerings Of
the commission for merger and re-
routing should exercise a definite,
il unofficial, part in the hearings.
