CAR. RETALIATION
ACTION EXPECTED
Public Utilities Body May
Act Tomorrow on Keech
Petition.

A petition for retaliation of the
properties of the local street car COM
panies, filed with the Public Utilities
Commission yesterday by Richmond B.
Keech, peoples counsel, probably will
be acted on tomorrow.
Mr.. Keoch presented the petition as
the first round in his fight to bring
about a reduction of the street car
fares from 10 cents,s as recently author
lied by Justice Jennings Bailey of the
District Supreme Court. No valuation
has been made of the Capital Traction
Co. or the Washington Railway g. Elec-
trio Co. since 1914.
Values Set by Ruling.
Justice Bailey ruled the holdings of
the Capital Traction Co. were worth
not less than $25, 728, 683, on which it
was earning return of 357 per cent;
the valuation of the Washington Rail
way g. Electric Co., was fixed in the
opinion at $19,210.899.33, on which the
company was found to be earning a
return of 4.73 per cent.
The peoples counsel, in his petition,
stressed the fact that no valuation OF
the public utility corporations had been
undertaken since 1914. He emphasized
his contention that since that time
many radical changes have taken place
in prices and equipment, as well as
method and in instruments used for
putting trackage and other equipment
into operation.
Many Parts in Change.
Mr.. Keech said that since the valua-
ton many parts of the two railway sys-
TENS have been abandoned or replaced
without any exact accounting as to
which of the equipment is new and
which is old Another point made was
that in adding to the valuation fixed
after the inventory of 1914. the value
Of additions and betterments results in
an excessive valuation; the reconstruc-
ton of individual units is k'gher thar
that of the system as whole.
II was added that much OF the
trackage, car barps, plants, street cars
and buses have long since passed tho
duration of their estimated lives and
shout have disappeared entirely from
the valuation accounts Yokes and rails
now in use on large part of the sys'
TENS were said to be obsolete. Numerous
other arguments in support Of the pro-
posed revaluation were advanced.
