acknowledgements Heard
In "a I ronsit Fare Case

Federal Judge James w. Nor
lris was expected to finish hear
ing arguments today in connec-
ton with a complaint brought
more than two years ago by a
Silver Spring attorney, seeking
to set aside fare increase
granted the old Capital Transit
Co. in January. 1854. by the
Public Utilities Commission.
The increase complained of by
the attorney, George Spiegel of
I10831 Lorain avenue. Silver
Spring, Md, remained in effect
until additional increases, now in
effect, were granted in August,
1855, by the District Commits
lsioners through an Act of Con-
jgresS to help settle the transit
strike that summer.
The 1854 increases were up
held by Judge Richmond B.
Keech of the U. S. District Court
for the District of Columbia in
October, 1854. However. the de-
cision was appealed, and in July,
1855, the U. S. Court Of Appeals
for the District of Columbia re-
verced Judge Keech. While al
lowing the Public Utility Com
missions order to stand, the
appellate court ordered the COM
mission to give a more adequate
statement of its reasons for
adopting an original rate cost
base of Capital Transit in al
lowing the fare increase.
Choice Explained
The commission recently SUBJ
mitted a more detailed state
ment to District Court as to why
it selected the original cost rate
base in determining the fare in.
