Transit Return
|0f 1OPct. Seen
In Parking Ban
Rise Called Possible
On Present Fares if
Traffic Is Speeded

Even with its present fares,
1.-THE Capital Transit Co. could
learn a return Of 10 per cent on
Tits investment If parking were
illuminated to permit free move
Deent of traffic in Washington,
1.-THE District Public Utilities Com-
mission was told today.
The statement came from
wv. c. Gilman. New York finan-
cial consultant, who urged that
the company ought to be allowed
to earn a 10 per cent return to
maintain its financial stability.
He testified as hearings re-
sumed for the third day on a
request by Capital Transit for a
fare increase.
Seeks to Drop Permit
The company has asked to
abandon its rs cent weekly per-
init, with which passengers
travel for 10 cents a ride, and
for an increase in its token rate
lof three cents each, from Is to
10 cents. The 20-cent cash fare
would be unchanged.
Meanwhile, the deadline grew
closer for potential strike ex-
lpected to shut down the transit
company next Friday.
A union management nego-
|tiation session was underway at
Capital Transit headquarters
and a union meeting was sched-
Iuled for tonight at the National
Guard Armory.
Mr.. Gilman contended that
only by paying dividends in ex-
cess OF its earnings had the COM
|pany been able to maintain the
market value of its stock as high
las the current $97s per share.
Actually, he said, the company
should be able to earn dividends
of 10 per cent and put aside an
other two per cent "for a rainy
day."
Nothing for Surplus
Commissioner Robert M. Wes.
ton said, "We seem to be in the
middle of deluge now and
nothing is being put into sur
plus"
YES" replied Mr.. Gilman,
"but that's because the earnings
Iaren't sufficient"
The company-hired expert
said Capital Transit earned 3.6l
per cent on its investment In
1854. Its highest earnings since
1947. he said. came in 1851 with
a return of STA per cent.
The commission recessed the
hearings after his testimony was
completed, and said they will
be resumed for cross-examina-
ton of company witnesses some
time during July.

|Conferees Stiff
ID. {. Fund Bill

House and Senate conferees
lprobably will go to work early
next week to seek some compro-
Imise agreement on the District
appropriation bill for the fiscal
year that begins next Friday.
There are many differences,
including one that may cause
a major contest-the size OF
the Federal share of costs of
the National Capital. On this,
the House, by a one-vote mar
gin, chopped 81 million from
the authorized $40 million Fed
eral payment. The Senate yes
terday voted unanimously for
the full $40 million as authorized
in the Public Works Revenue
Act of 1854.
Another major issue is the
determination of the Senate to
grant SIS million to plan and
begin construction of a new
bridge over the Potomac River
just north of Arlington Memo
rial Bridge.
The Senate adopted an
amendment sponsored by Sena-
tor Case, Republican, of South
Dakota, to permit building the
bridge farther upstream so it
would cross South Island, which
lies just south Of Theodore
Roosevelt Island. r
A time limit was placed on
this alternate plan, however. APP
lproval would have to be given by
the Theodore Roosevelt Associa-
tion by August /.
This amendment, made on
the floor of the Senate, was &C
Icepted by Chairman Stennis of
the Appropriations subcommit-
tee in charge of the District
budget. He said it would impose
no unnecessary delay in the con-
struction of the new Potomac
River span.
Reviewing the year-long argu-
ment as to the best location of
the bridge or whether there
should be a tunnel, Senator
lStennis said the adoption of the
Case amendment offered the
I"last chance" to permit all par
ties to agree as to where the
new span should be built.
For himself, Senator Stennis
said, he would like to see the
bridge built somewhat farther
upstream from the Arlington
Memorial Bridge. The Fine Arts
Commission believes the span, as
now authorized. would be too
close to the Arlington Memorial
Bridge and would mar the es-
thetic setting.
Senator Stennis told the Sem
ate he could not quite agree with
this argument because the pro-
posed Constitution avenue bridge
would be an attractive, low-level
structure, which could be con-
sidered a companion to the me-
mortal bridge.
The House had left out of its
version of the bill the budgeted
SIS million for the bridge only
because of the arguments over
its location. The House, however,
indicated it's willingness. to re-
consider when some solid agree
ment was reached.
AS passed by the Senate, the
District bill calls for an outlay
of 1894 million for the next
fiscal year. This is $2.5 million
greater than was granted by the
House. It would have provided
a surplus under present condi-
tions. But District employees are
virtually certain to get a raise,
which will mean a deficit.
The StenniS subcommittee,
therefore, urged District officials
to come UP with plans for legis-
lation to increase District taxes
and the Federal payment to
meet the new financial need.
