Treight - rates on bituminous coal from West Virgipia to Washington which are dncluded in the gene: riate investigation before the Inter- ate Commerce Commission into the reasonableness of freight charges on anthracite substitutes, are under .at- Aack by the Upper. Potomac. and Georges Craek operators’ freight rate committee, In _a statement the committee urged the people of the District of *Columbia to push & claim for reduced freight ~rates .on , bituminous coal, clalming that 1T # rate of $1.50 from West Virginia: #o Washington . be established. a’' saving of At least $1 2 ton on bituminous coal would be pussed on to the Washington con- . Sumers. The present freight rate to Washington from southern West Vir- ginia, a distance of more than 400 miles, is $2.8¢ a ton. The entire rate question on bitumi- nous coal to Waghington is involved n the commission proceeding inquir- nz into the reasonableness of anthra- icite substitutes, instituted last Win- iter, and which has recently hecome idnvolved. Early in 1926 the commis- ision established « temporary ‘lower irate on bituminous coal from West iVirginia to New England = points éxpired in April and only ag0 A committee repre- isenting New England governors came ibefore the commission with another | plea for lower rates. | Claiming that the freight rates on | “bituminous are “exorbitant,” the committee urged that the rate on coal om the npper Potémac and Georges 't <k rezion. an average distance-of 188 milcs, over a water level Toute, chould he placed on a parity with ithe Pacahontas and New Rivér fleld irate, which would reduce the rates fiom the upper Potomac and Georges Creek region from $2.84 to $1.50 per Zroes ton. i Representatives of the Coal Mer- ichants” Board of Trade and of the iPotomac Electric Power Co. attend- 4 hearings held recently hefore the fommission on the reasonableness of trates on bituminous coal to tidewater. The commission advised them to file ' separate complaint alleging over- icharge on bituminous coal to Wash- Inzton. i “We respectfully ask the people of ¥he District_of Columbia to push for- fward their just claims for redress And hope we may be permitted to co- Pperate in every way to bring about ¥he results-desired.” the committee #tatement said. “You have nothing ito lose and all to galn in this proposi- ion. If a rate of $1.50 be established rom this field it should reduce vour fooal bill at least $1 per ton.” CHANGES IN TAXICAB i REGULATIONS GET 0. K. Maximum Fare Placed on 30-Cent i Basis to Make Rules of D. C 3 Uniform. Several proposed changes in the po- Mee regulations concerning the op- | sration of taxieabs in the District fvere approved by the Commissioners yesterday with a view to making them | fonsistent with the orders of the Pub. Tie Utilities Commission. The principal change sets the max- Imum meter rates as follows: First passenger, 30 cents for the first half mile or fraction thereof and 10 cents for each addition half mile thereafter, 2nd 20 cents additional per trip for rach Bf the second and third passen- gere and no additional charge for the. fourth and fifth passengers. These rates, prescribed by the Public Ut Mties Commission, have for several ¥ = differed from these ' preseribed by the police regulations. Another change gives the commis- sion authority 'to Inspect the taxi- maters instead of the superintendent of weights, measures and ‘markets. | . McCRAY REPORT MADE.
