Cominissioner Kutz said that with . | the imposition of the proposed excess profils tax the earnings of each com- tpany would be brought within 1% iper cent of each other and so the rublic Utilities Commission could fix the same rate as though the compa- ni€s had merged. In this way. he said, thé public would get all the advan- tages that they would through a merger. Commissioner Kutz said he felt sure that the fare would at once come to seven cents and that when the pres- ent agreement with the employes ex- pired a new arrangement could be made which would make possible four fares for 25 cents. Representative Lampert said: “Per- sonally 1 am of the opinion that the only ‘real solution is government ownership along the lines of the bill introduced by Representative Keller. But if you will fix the rate at § cents for the Capital Traction Com- pany it will be the best club for forcing a consolidation.” Representative Hammer suggested that if a decision is reached to in- clude the Potomac Eiectric Power jCompany, o that its big earnings can be used to reduce car fares, the Proposition ought to be carried fur- ther and the gas, telephone and other " {-profitable public utilities should also be brought into the proposed con- solidation. 3 Chairman Ziblman and Commis- ‘sioner “Kutz expressed the opinion that if the car fare were fixed at 3 'cents. such a rate would wipe out the fair return promised in the public {-utilities act and that the Commission- ers would be promptly enjoined by comed the delegates on behalf of the |the courts. * Washington alumni. 3 Gen.
