Leon Arnold, President of
Company,. Denies Clay
ton’s Charges
Charges of juggling of funds by
the Washington Rapid Transit Com
pany so as to gain an increase in
tares were hotly denied today by
Leon Arnold, president of the com
pany.
, The case will come up before the
Public Utilities Commission for pub-
Itc hearing August 13 and the
charges will be given a full airing
at that time.
The charges of juggling were
made by William McK. Clayton,
chairman of the public utilities com
mittee of the Federation of Citizens
Associations, who declared that
“many faults can be found by a
Cursory glance through the books."
Arnold declared if the mem
bers of the federation believe this
charge they have been permitted
themselves to be misled and that
he feels confident that they will
‘‘rectify their error" when they
have the full facts.
“The charges by the Federation
of Citizens Associations are indeed
serious." Arnold stated, "and offi
cials of the company feel that the
least courtesy the citizens of Wash
ington can extend the -company,
Which for four years has faithfully
tried to serve the public and meet
the increased need for better trans
portation facilities is to explain the
grounds on which they base the
accusations.
“The members of the federation
Who have made these charges hav»
|.ermltted themselves to be misled.
1 feel confident that they would do
nothing intentionally to Injure the
Washington Rapid Transit Com
pany, and when in possession of tbo
tacts they will no doubt rectify their
error."
