TRAN SIT DEAL
SPEEDED

The Capital Transit Company
here asked permission Of the In
terstate Commerce Commission to
Withdraw a petition the company
had filed seeking approval Of the
purchase Of the Washington Rapid
Transit Company.
The street car company had
filed the petition under terms Of
the national motor vehicle carrier
act, because of q line which the
w. r. T. company runs into Mary
land. The company pointed out
that the District Public Utilities
Commission, under terms Of the
street car merger act, Is vested
with specific authority to approve
the sale, whereas the authority Of
the I. C. C. under the carrier act
Is general.
It is expected that the I. C. c.
will grant the company's request,
thereby paving the way for the
local commission to issue an order
approving the sale. The company
has agreed to terms set up by the
local commission under which 1t
will buy out the w. r. T. company
for $475,912 and bring about q
unification Of all the Districts
