Merger Endorsed to Improve City Street Rail Service
The Washington Board of Trade transportation committee backed merging the city street railways to cut overhead, improve management, and provide uniform service. It urged public authorities to drive the consolidation, create a separate public utilities commission, and fund improvements with bond issues. The plan supports flat fares and public transfers. The Epworth League will picnic at Great Falls Park with a music program by the Ladies' Victory Orchestra.
