PROPERTIES 10
FIX a C. IMS
By BILL PRICK.
The Public Utilities Commission is |
to rapidly conclude tho Ion* pending
hearings on the valuations of the
street railway properties of Wash
ington.
Witnesses are being notified to get
ready and a date for the resumption
of the hearings - soon will be an
nounced.
To the citizoorof Washington this
news should b* Of especial Import
ance, Inasmuch as valuations of the
properties are sure to be coupled
with the next efforts of the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Com
pany, and probably of the Capital
Tfactlon Company, to obtafn an In
crease of fares In this city, or !
leoat an increa?? of revenues to meet
defleita that officials of the former
company declare to be menacing the '
A final Valuation*.
The purpose of the commission Is
significant In that it points to the
intention of that body to adjust
street ear fares, In the future upon
the actual valuations of the street
railway lines and not solely on the
claims of the companies as to what
their properties are worth.
The aim of the District Utilities
Commission, as well a* of practically
all public service comfttisslons, is to
allow public utilities, including street
railways, to derive sufficient income
from the public to defray all operat
ing expenses, set aside depreciation
and maintenance funds, and pay rea- (
sonable returns to stockholders and*
bondholders.
These Returns, however, almost uni
versally are limited to actual values
of the properties, not to overcapitnl
i?.atton. or excessive claims as to what
they arc worth. That is: The point ,
is to ascertain what the reproduction ,
of properties would cost if careful j j
and honeetly built.
In the valuation proceedings ?> to j
the Capital Traction and Washington :
Railway and Eleotrlc lines, the cn:n
tr.lsslon is seeking to determine wi.a;
these properties were worth n? a
Hiven time, say Oecember SI. lOlfl
And what additions have been made
to those values Since then.
<npital Traction Evidence In.
As to the Capital Traction Company,
all the testimony was taken many j
months ago. The argument of coun- |
sel Is all that remains b?fore the com- J
mission j* able to make its decision a.* !
to valuation.
The Washington Railway and Elec- j
trie Company case is not so well alonK ;
further testimony tnu*t be taken be
fore counsel make arguments.
It Is the of?lnl?n today that b>>th 1
prr^ceedlngs should be closed up with- |
in five weeks and the commission \
should be able to announce its con
clusions soon afterward.
Dividends on Cnmpany Value*.
The two companies have been de
riving revenues from their patron*
j sufficient to pay fair dividends upon
i their own valuations. Until laat yeat
the Washington Hallway and Klectfi ?
paid the fancy dividend of 7 pe- cent
upon its common stocl\ That, last
year, was reduced to 5 per cent, where
it now stands. The preferred stock
pays 5 per cent. The total cap'talt
zatlon. common and preferred, is $15.?
000.000. The Interest on the bonded
indebtedness has been paid withou*
trouble. That is considerably mor ?
I in the aggregate than the capita'
I stock.
It is highly unlikely that the
| claims of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company as to its values '
will be accepted by the Commission j
which Will decide from the facts sub
mitted by experts representing botn
I the company and the Commission.
The claims of the Capital Traction
are likewise subject to pruning
(fares Based on Valuations.
So the commission proposes to
know street railway values in Wash
ington before again listening to pe
titions for increased fares, or re-ve
nues from transfers, or from oiner
souces. when these values have been
found the commission rtrill clearly
know what the fares should be to
produce the proper amount of reve
nues for both companies, allowing
?or all costs of operation, mainten
ance. etc., and for fair return.* to
those who have invested in loc^l rail
way securities.

It will not ^irectly concern the
commission whether there is or is
not "water" in street railway securi
ties. By the valuation process th?*
"water" is squeezed out and returns
are assured apon securities represent
