The Capital Traction Com- pany is seeking to operate between Chevy Chase Circle and the Capitol with & 25-cent rate of fare. The Rapid Transit Company followad this peti- tion with a request to operate from Chevy Chase Circle to Fifteenth street and Maryland avenue northeast on a 10.cent fare. Pension Heads John H. Hanna. vice president of the Capital Traction Company told the { commission today that the type of { parlor service which his company | proposes 1o render could be fur- nished at a 10 cent fare Mr Hanna vizorou ports which he said he h the application for his v 23-cent fare v wedge to get a highe M. flanna declared that the proposed parlor car bus line was an experiment 10 be tried out with a view to meeting what the company belicves is a need for a high class of service to accom- modate people who now use private automobiles in an effort to get down- own. " He said that such a bus line should not be operated at the expense of the general car riders and for that reason The rate of fare was recommended to cover the special ser proposed. He sald that a separ 4 would be kept of the operation of <his line To Have “Smolker.” Mr. Hanna explained (ha lor car bus weuld be ous the company could provide for the seatin passengers and might have a glass. inclosed compartment ai the rear in which smoking would be permitted. It is the company’s plan not fo permit more passengers on tne bus than there are seats. : He said this service would be com- parable in clity transportation to a Pullman car service on a steam rail- road. Mr. Hanna protested vigorously ngainst the granting of the Rapid Transit Company’s application on the | ground that it would be in direct com- | petition with the Capital Traction car Jine and pointed out that the Utilitles Commission has in the past held that such direct competition is not in the public_interest 2 Several residents of Chevy Chase, including President Moore of the (hevy Chase Citizens' Association, Proctor L.

Mr. Clayton also asked Mr. Hanna how he could avoid passengers from board- ing the parior car bus afier all the seats had been taken Mr. Hanna re plied that the Utilities Commission has | the authority to fix the capacity of a1l public convevances and could place a limit of 21 on these busses. Conrad Svme. counsel for the Rapid Transit Co.. asked Mr. Hanna if the Capital Traction Co. would re-| duce the parlor car bus fare from to 10 cents if the company found, after | the operation had been started. that {he line could not be run at 25 cents.| Mr. Hanna replied that the Capital Traction Co. would not make such reduction, because the class of service it proposes to furnish could not be furnished for 10 cents The commission will resume hearing this afternoon, when it will consider several proposed bus extensions of a smaller nature in the vicinity of Sher-| man Circle and Petworth.

Many of the reforms in bureau pro- cedure over a long period of years have been credited to Mr. Morgan, who entered the Government service originally from Vermont, CHANCE FOR PUPILS IN SUMMER CLASSES Director Patterson Announces List of Public Schools Giving Special Instruction.

Col. Sherrill sald that he is not planning to obtain any legal opinion on ihe question of authority for opening the Tidal Basin beach. as there never has been any doubt in his mind as 1o the legality of such a move. The proviston in the appr priation act is noi mandatory, he said, and he is allowed until June. 1926, in which t0 tear down the bathhouse huilding there. although at this time some of the fixtures and lockers have been dismantled.

However. all this could be done for | $5.000 which the joint welfare service can provide. The other $20,000 would be required to chlorinate the waters, and Col. Sherrill belleves that this certainly should be done. The chlorinating boat which was used in the Tidal Basin has been dis- mantled and will have to be re-equip- ped, and another boat and equipment would have to be provided for the Jones Point Beach. The provision of these” boats and equipment, together with the cost of the chlorine and the labor for running themi, wil eat up the $20,000 which the citizens of the District would have io provide, prob- ably by popular subscription.
