Carriers Likely Will Be Routed All the Way Into City. CENT TRANSFERS MAY GO Hundreds of Suburbanites, How- ever, Protest Inconvenience. The request of citizens from Ten- leytown and adjoining communities for through car service on Wis- consin avenue to the downtown section may be granted by the Pub- lic Utllities Commission, it was indl- cated at the District building today. It is known that the presentation made yesterday by the residents of Tenleytown and some northwest su- burban communities in the District made a deep impression upon the members of the commission at the public hearing on this point yester- day. It is also understood that fa- vorable consideration is beirngg given to the plea of the Washington Rall- way and Electric Company for a more equitable arrangecent at the 1-cent transfer point at Wisconsin avenue and M sireet, where the Wisconsin avenue line interseats with the Capi- tal Traction Company’s line. At present the plan is to route all cars on Wisconsin avenue from Rock- ville and all along the line to Wis- consin avenue and M street. Transfers are issued to W. cars at O and P transfers are s the Cgpital Traction cars at M street. The pro- posed plan is to continue routing Rockville cars, but these only, to M street. All other cars would continue downtown, as was requested by citi- zens who' objected to standing and waiting in_all sorts of weather at transfer points from the W. R. & E. Posxible Bankruptcy Cited. Officials of the Washington Rail- way and Electric Company, including President Ham and Vice: President S. R. Bowen, told the commission yester- day that the Georgetown and Tenley- town company was slowly sliding over the precipice of bankruptcy, and this slide to receivership was given some impetus by the arrangement of one-cent transfers at M street. The reason cited was that persons en route downtown in the morning used the free transfers to the Wash- ington Railway and Electric line at O street, but when returning in the evening.'in order to do a bit of shop- ping and to avoid getting on a crowd- ed car, they would transfer at M street from the Capital Traction Company to the Wisconsin avenue line, Of this fare, only 1 cent paid for the transfer went into the treas- »f the Washington Railway and , while the 6.67 or S cents as the case may have been went to the Capital Traction Company. The Pub- Utilities Commission appealed to by the railway company to remedy this” situation Marylarders Protest. Hundreds of residents in outlying suburban _sections in Maryland and north of Tenleytown. have submitted petitions with the utilities commis- sion against the abolishment of the transfer. These citizens point out that the through car serv- ice to the heart of the city would in- convenience them, inasmuch as they would be forced to make most of their purchases downtown and to carry them to and on extremely crowded street cars when en route home. They argue that the one-cent transfer gen- erally facilitates their getting in and out of the city, and is a great accom- b ot / Zonite used simply as a mouth. wash or gargle does three dis- tinct things. (1) It destroys the breath odors arising from conditions in the mouth and leaves no odor of its own. (2) It kills the germs responsi- ble for dread pyorrhea and other gum diseases. (3) It kilis the germs that cause coughs, colds, sore-throat modation. _Hundreds of residents of the outlying sections also point out that the one-cent transfer privilege at Wisconsin avenye and M street also enables them to reach their of- fices in the downtown section much earller than if they went by the O street line, and they are not forced to walk several squares when leaving the car lines bound for. their places of work, as would be the case if the one-cent transfer s denied. These commuters do not wish to interfere with the convenience of the Tenleytown citizens, but do insist that if the Rockville cars continue to make Wisconsin avenue and M street their terminal the one-cent transfers at least should be continued for all passengers desiring them. Hearing a Heated One. The later hours of the hearing yes- terday afternoon in the District build- ing, when warm words were hurled back and forth between Tenleytown- ites and Georgetown delegates, prov- ed as tense as any in the history of the Public Utilities Commission, which is usually noted for the @ryness of hearings. » , Col. C. C. Lancaster, representing some of the communities in the Dis- trict north of Georgetown, charged that the Georgetown business men were entirely selfish in their desires to have the present system retained and that they sought to place the welfare of their business establish- ments ahead of the welfare of the street car riding public in opposing the through downtown service for ‘Wisconsin avenue. He bluntly an- nounced that his organization had “thrown out” some of the delegates when they went to a meeting at one time and invited them back again to receive similar treatment. Sergt._J M.
