June 15, 1921, Washington D.C. – In a shocking move, Senator King of Utah has proposed a bill to force the Washington street car companies into a merger, citing the need for reduced fares. The senator’s bill, which is currently being considered by the Senate District committee, aims to divorce the power plant from the property of the Washington Railway and Electric company. According to Senator King, a voluntary merger would not be effective, as previous proposals have been deemed insufficient.
