June ; HEARING
SET on Higher
Transit Fares
20-Cent Rate Sought;
PUG to Scrutinize
Depreciation Figures
By John w. Stepp

Capital Transit Co. today was
granted public hearing, set for
June 3, on its latest request to
raise District fares.
In announcing the hearing or
der the District Public Utilities
Commission also gave notice
that it will combine the rate
proceedings with an investiga-
ton of the depreciation accounts
of the transit firm
According to Commission
Chairman Kenneth w. Spencer
the latter aspect of the hearing
is routine. Mr.. Spencer said the
commission makes periodic
studies of the companys de-
probation rate to determine
whether these accounts should
be gone into fully.
Rate Fixed in 1945.
The present depreciation rate
OF 40 per cent of the company's
total depreciable property was
fixed in 1945.
This rate last year amounted
to $2.3 million, which the COM
pany was allowed to charge to
depreciation expenses.
Mr.. Spencer said that the last
depreciation study conducted by
the commission. beginning in
April, 1852, indicated that a full
investigation is in order. He
would not say why. But he did
point out that the depreciation
rate could be revised upward or
downward or could remain at
the present level.
Ask 2O-Cent Fares.
The fare increases sought by
Capital Transit call for 20-cent
cash fares, abolition of the
weekly pass and increasing the
cost Of tokens to five for 95 cents.
School fares, which are fixed by
Congress. would remain at 3
cents ride.
The company figures that
these boosts would bring in an
additional $2.3 million in gross
operating revenues. slightly more
than half of which, however,
would have to be paid out in
Federal and District taxes.
The 81 million plus net oper-
ating income remaining would,
according to the company, offset
wage increases which become
effective for transit employees
July l. The increase also would
compensate for what the COM
pany contends was a commission
overestimate of income gained
under a previous rate increase.
