BITTER BATTLE

EXPECTED

A bitter fight is predicted when
the washington Railway and
Electric Company and the Cor
poration Counsel representing the
Public Utilities Commission, go
to bat January 3. on the matter
OF q lO-cent car fare.
Although given an opportunity
to produce evidence In support
Of q fair valuation on its hold
ings, the traction company went
into court for a rnandamas TO
compel the commission to grant
an increased fare. This followed
a protfacted hearing during
which the commission insisted
that sufficient evidence Of fair
valuation had not been intro
duced.
Wants Suit Dismissed
Corporation Counsel william w
Bride, In answer to the company's
application for the writ, has
asked that the bill be dismissed.
The commission is. preparing to
submit to the, court 100 prece-
dents In support Of its denial Of
the increased fare.

to sit In with the commission,

that both companies insisted that
