HYATTSVILLE, Md., July 11 (Spe. cial).—C. Melvin Sharpe, executive |assistant of the Washington Railway and Electric Co., has announced that the company in establishing the bus line from Fifteenth and H streets northeast, Washington, to Laurel, along the Washington - Baltimore boulevard, is desirous of giving the patrons along this thoroughfare the service which they need and gives as- surance that if patronage increases and the receipts warrant further ex- penditures the situation will be met with increased equipment to meet the demands. Sharpe emphasizes that the route is just fn its infancy and that neces- sarily some small things will have to-be ironed out in actual practice as the route becomes more used. He wishes to make it clear that the busses will stop at any point to take on or discharge passengers on signal to the operator, it not benig necessary for patrons to repair to the signs marked “Bus Stop” to get on or off the bus, these signs really being the markings of the zones or fare «col- lection points. These points, says Sharpe, have been fashioned as nearly as possible to the existing zones of the street railway. In addition to the bus line from Fifteenth and H streets to Laurel, the company is continuing operation of its street railway from Fifteenth and G streets to Branchville. Sheriff John J.
