P. u. E.. FIGURES
CALLED FAR
BEY0NDH HOPE
Citizens and Business
Spokesman to Air
Protests Friday

Officials of the Capital Transit
Company leaped with both feet on
the estimates of increases in reve-
nue. passengers and net operating
income made by B. NICK. Bach
man, chief accountant of the Pub
lie Utilities Commission, as the
P. U. c. resumed hearings today
on the company's petition for an
increased fare.
Meanwhile, representatives OF
citizens associations and business
organizations girded for the fight
on the company's petition.
Protestants To Testify
Through William NICK. Clay
ton, veteran representative of the
Federation of Citizens ASsocia-
tons, and Louis I. Obergh, coUln-
sci for the Federation of Business
Mems Associations, arrangements
were made to have spokesman for
these groups testify Friday. Clay
ton said he would have 10 or IL
witnesses, all of whom are ex-
pected not only to oppose the COM
pany's petition but to advocate re-
turn of the scent fare and the
81 weekly street car pass.
E. D. Merrill, president of the
company, led the assault on Bach
mans estimates, telling the COM
mission they were "far beyond
anything which the company has
hoped for"
After arguing at length with
opposing counsel. S. R. Bowen,
chief counsel for the company,
obtained an order from the COM
mission for Bachman to "break
down" his estimates in a month
by-month comparison.
His Figures RidicuIed -.
Even expected revenue as a
result of the approaching Boy
Scout Jamboree, it was revealed,
were included in Bachman's es-
Inmates. Bachman said he an
ticipated 10000 scouts would be
in the city and predicted an in
crease in the company'S street
car and bus passengers during
the gathering.
Company officials ridiculed this
and pointed out that during the
Inauguration and the last Shrine
convention, the company did not
experience an over-large increase
in patronage.
Bachman predicted the COM
pany'S passenger revenues for 1887
would total $11,104, 800, and placed
the net operating income for the
12-month period ended April 80 at
$1,650, 900, an increase of 5000, 900
over the same period last year.

KEYSTONE OF
NEW SETUP
Reorganization Of City
Government Planned
By Nd. Member

Thorough.going reorganization
of the District government, in
Guiding appointment of a new adj
visory council of six members to
relieve District commissioners of
many of their detailed duties, will
be provided for in a bill now in
preparation by Representative
Ambrose J. Kennedy CD of
Maryland, he indicated today.
In his capacity as chairman of
subcommittee of the House Dis
trict Committee in charge of the
District tax bill, and assigned also
to study the problem Of govern
mental reorganization, the Mary
land member announced last
week that he would be ready with
his bill in a week or 10 days. To-
days announcement disclosed that
he is about ready to go into &C
ton, and that he will ask the COM
mittee to hold hearings on the re-
organization measure Immediately
following its introduction in the
House.
OEOpS NdndBCE fldH
Mr.. Kennedy also indicated that
he had abandoned his earlier view
that Washington should be gov
erned by city manager, not be-
cause his ideas on this subject
have changed, but because he is
convinced the House would not go
this far. The plan for an advisory
council, it was suggested, is in the
nature of substitute, which he
thinks might be acceptable to the
House membership.
All six members of the council
would be Presidential appointeeS,
and under the provisions of the
bill now in preparation would have
to be permanent residents of the
District of Columbia.
No Mention of Salaries
Mr.. Kennedy did not indicate
what salaries he thought the ad-
Visory group should receive.
He intimated that the advisory
body, under his plan, would have
charge of the District budget, as
well as perform specified admin
iStrative duties.
In studying the problem of re-
organization the Maryland men,
Der is known to have the Jacobs
report, the reorganization plan
urged by former Peoples Counsel
William A. Roberts, and the ideas
of the District commissioners
themselves before him. Except
for today's glimpse of his own
plans, however, there has been no
indication as to what extent he
will be influenced by these reports
in shaping his legislative pro-
gram.
