CARFARE EARING OPENS TOMORROW ‘W. R. & E. Co. Not Made Party to Application by Utilities Body. Hearings on the application of the| (apital Traction Co. for an increase in strest car fares,”granted by the Public unusual Utilities Commission under circumstances, will open tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock in the bm\rdn\ regarded by experts as supegior to room of the District Building. Whether the proceedings will be halted in view of the failure of the com- mission to take steps to bring about a | revaluation of the street car company properties in connection with the ap-| Plication is one of several decisions which may be reached at the outset of the hearing. Ralph B. Fleharty, people’s counsel, is wnderstood to take the same position as the Federation of Citizens' Association, that the granting of increased rate should not be con- sidered at this time, partly in view also of the pending merger case before Con gress. ‘The commission ignored the precedent | established by the former commis by issuing a formal order without mal ing the Washington Railway & Electric Co. a party to the application. the policy of recent years all |ramen companies in the District have been made parties in rate increase cases ! whether they wished to be or not. Did Not Join Plea. The Washington Railway & Electric | Co., for reasons of its own, did not join in the recent application made by the| Capital Traction officials, who made good on their threat to do so, when the merger agreement was blocked at the last session. Owing to its affiliation with ‘the Potomac Electric Power Co. the return for the Wreco system, under the present fare, is higher than that of the Capital Traetion Co. Officials of $h> Washington Railway & Electric Co. will be on hand tomor- row to state the position of their com- pany in the immediate case. The atti- tude of the federation opposed to the granting an increase points to a sharp encounter before the Commission. ‘Whether the Washington Railway & Electric Co., in view of the dual system in Washington, will be made a party to the rate hearing now or afterwards, is a matter which the Commission prob- ably will decide at the outset of the hearing. Members of the Commission gave no reason why the order did not include the rival company, though they admitted the Commission was flying in the face of precedent. They agreed, however, that if the Capital Traction Co. is granted an increase the new rate would have to be extended to the rival compeny. A situation wherein one company can haul passengers at l lnwer rate than another could hardly be lowed to exist, it was declared. Provides Continuance. proposed _ merger _agreement Wh.h:h extends to June 1, 1929, provides for a continuance of the present rate of fare for a period of one-year after the effective date. This guarantee can- not be displaced even should the com- mission grant a higher fare before Con- gress ummltely acts on the merger. It was pointed out that a 10-cent cash fare. for instance, would continue only until Congress approves the merger, when the com would avert to the present 8-cent fare or six tokens for “cenurortpeflodn(oneynr All this, however, is based on the super- sition that Congress would enact the mei before aphmm of the agree- ment next June 1 'l'he Capital Traction Co. has asked a straight 10-cent fare or four 'nkem for 30 cents, in leu of an 8-cent cash mx‘:il“n existing transfer regulations It is estimsted that a 10-cent ltrl.lgh! fare would provide an increase of gross, or about -$400, ‘This would represent a return E{: cent as against 3.88 per cent for - coup!ed with th: company’s request or a fare is an m:mm for the .&’mm of n-ee‘?.rnmflm be- operating to Randle from Pennsylvania avenue and Seventeenth street southeast.

Declarmg that the existing traffic law which lished -the *“one year pro- vision” with respeet to conviction for second and third offenses of ing. “operates badly and unfairly,” Corpora- tion Counsel William W. Bride suggested in his annual report, submitted yester- Congress an amendment to_remedy this situation. The recommendation was in line with that recently made by William H. Har- land, director of traffic, in his annual Less drastic penalties for traffic violations in certain “first offenses” and the granting of a degree of discretion to the trial judge in such cases, the corporation counsel advised, would re- sult in more frequent convictions by juries, “It is extremely difficult to secure verdiets of ‘guilty’ from juries in cer- tain traffic matters,” the report points out. “Unless the circumstances are particularly flagrant in these ‘first offenses,’ il is almost impossible to find the defendant guilty before a jury, par- ticularly where a jail sentence fis mandatory. Asks More Leniency. “The law would be more effective if it were less drastic: if the tricl judge were permitted to use his good judgment in particular cases of a first offense. “With respect to t=e earlier act of 1906, which provided increased penal- ties for conviction of second and third offenses of speeding within one year, Mr. Bride declared: “Under the present traffic act, the ‘one-year provision’ was eliminated, so that under existing law an offender can be charged with the second and third offense of speeding no matter what the length of time is which has elapsed since the previous convictions. “I am of ¢he opinion that this oper- ates badly and unfairly and I suggest that the Commissioners recommend to Congress an amendment to the traffic act to remedy this situation.” Classifying the 29286 cases of all kinds brought into the Police Court during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1928, as compared with 25888 for the previous year, the report shows intoxi- cation cases totaled 14,072, an in- crease of 1,084 over the previous fiscal year. On the other hand the cases in Traffic Court involving driving while intoxicated, totalling 336, show a de- crease of 181. Speeding cases Licreased 2275 over the previous year, totaling 7,141, ‘The total of Traffic Court cases for the year numbered 41986( as com- pared with 34023 cases last year. Speeding cases were first in rank among the more serious offenses. Driving without a permit involved 1841 cases, followed by 1560 cases of reckless driving. There were 30,039 cases classi- fled as “minor offenses.” The totals had previously been made public in the annual report of the assistant cor- émmuon counsels assigned to Police ourt.

Despite the fact that rains have held back the work somewhat, en- gineers declared that progress is at the expected mark at this time. Acesian wells continuz to be en- countered in the progress of pile driv- ing, as the pile shells puncture the crust of water-bearing gravel. En- gincers explained that there is no thought of utilizing the water in the strueture. The pomblll!y of contamina- tion during construction operations is a deterring factor and the water, which has proved a mystery to engineers, may contain mineral salts and require | softening that might render it unfit for | use. Then, teo, a pumping equipment would have to be installed, which would entail additional expense. The District has a supply of pure water, the engineers said, and in any event, the Federal Government is not required to pay for its water supply. Accordingly, the District can supply all the water needs for the new building without tapping nature’s supply below. One of the wells encountered yester- day produced several hundred gallons 2 minute, but as is customary in such | cases, it was immediately sealed by making water tight the pile shell which cansed the water to burst forth. Later, the potential well. Some of the con- crete for the foundation walls has been poured and there are hundreds of metal “walking sticks” waiting to' be put in place to make the foundations more sturdy. | “Golfing Pohcemnn Dies. .
