System Expected to Provide More
Even Spacing of Cars Without
Increasing Number.

With three major changes in rout-
Ing and about dozen minor ones,
the Capital Transit Co, today inau-
gurated the last of its rerouting plans
under the merger of the two former
street car companies.
On the whole. company officials
said, the first morning rush-hour
period worked out successfully, al
though there were slight delays in
scheduled time on q number of the
new routes.
For the first time, street cars ap-
peared with large route numbers
showing from the front windows. Use
of the number system in designating
destinations has been used success
fully in other cities for years. but had
never been tried in Washington be-
fore.
Maps Help Out.
Mumbling unfamiliar numbers un.
der their breaths, Washington street
car riders found that maps and listing
Of numbers of the new routes printed
in newspapers and transit company
booklets during the last few days
greatly facilitated Inauguration of the
new system, which is expected to
make possible the more even spacing
of cars without increasing the number
Of cars on the various lines.
Many other passengers, unaware of
the changed destinations of the cars,
found themselves at unexpected places
this morning. Although announce
me1t of the changes has been made
several times, many passengers for
got to ask for transfers or inquire of
their new transfer points.
Robert Dougan, assistant to the
president, said that except for run
ming q little bit behind time" the
changes were put into effect without
difnculty.
Cars Run Over Parallel Routes.
Late in the morning, after most of
the rush-hour traffic had left the
streets, other difficulties not related
to the new routing held up the cars.
A short circuit halted cars at Penn
sylvania avenue and Fourteenth
street for several minutes, and a fire
on Connecticut avenue made a delay
there. -@
The chief changes affected the lines
from outlying areas to or near the
Federal Triangle. The company
sought to distribute the cars over
parallel routes to avoid congestion on
any single street. The plan, ap-
proved by the Public Utilities Com.
mission, is expected to obviate long
delays or tie-ups during the rush
periods, except. of course. for me-
chanical mishaps or defects.
The changes were actually inau-
eurated yesterday morning, but there
was no real test during traffic con-
gestion until today.
