¢ ABOLITION OF BRIDGE TOLL RECOMMENDED Commissioners Would Prohibit Half-Cent Charge to Street Car Passengers. The District Commissioners in board ession today made a favorable report 1o the House District committee on a Bl to abolish the tax of 1% cent on every passenger carried across the High- way bridge by the Washington-Virginia Iallway Company. This bill is in line with a similar one cupported by the Commissioners to abol- ‘ame tax on car riders crossing bridge. “Were the railway company operat- under a franchise with a fixed rate "' said the Commissioners, * 1buld pay its share of the expenses in | & consideration of the benefits, since those . Denefits would accrue to the company tself. . Under public utility regulation, owever, the railway company is en- titled only to a reasonable rate of return on a fair valuation of its |t an. rroperty; and all benefits penses are passed on to stre ussengers. ASsenger crossing the brid, is share of the tax. There seems to be no reason why persons crossing in 4 ex- a street car should pay where all others are exempt.” The Commissioners added a para- graph to the traffic regulations, pro- nibiting parking on the north side of C street, between 20th and 21st streets, and providing for one hour angle parking on the south side of C street in the same block. On motion of Commissioner Oyster, the board appointed Miss Mary C Wolford a member of the nurses’ ex- amining board for another term, of five years. . TREE TRIMMER FALLS. D. C.
