NEW BILL IS OFFERED FOR D. C. RAIL MERGER Colton Measure Would Permit One Street Car Company to Acquire Any Other Companies. Proposal for the merger of street railway companies fn Washington in the interest of the using public and to beget economy and. efficiency in service, was revived in Congress again late yesterday when a bill was introduced by Representative Don B. Colton ot Utah.looking to that end. The Colton bill provides that any street rallway corporation which has a franchise to operate cars for public service In Washington be granted the right to purchase or otherwise ac- quire other street rallway combanies in the District of Cojumbia. It pro- vides for the purchase of outstand- ing stock of any other company at not less than pat value through the issuance of bonds, which would not bear greater rate of interest than the stock of the company acquired. This measure is very similar to one which was considered several years ago, but which failed of support. | - THE ‘SUNDAY STAR, BORDER SMUGGLING urneys. - p Prohibition agents say that January | “GETS BAD SETBACK Supply .of Holiday Liquor Coming From Canada Is _ Very Limited.
