C, TAXICAB MEASURE 15 REPORTED OUT) Financial Responsibility Bill Given to House With Com- mittee Approval. ‘The House District committee today favorably reported the bill requiring taxicab drivers to prove their financial responsibility and granting the Public Utilities Commission authority to fix maximum rates. Harleigh H. Hartman of the Public Utilities Commission, who, with Gen. Mason M. Patrick, chairman of the commission, was present on invitation of Acting Chairman McLeod, told the committee the situation is so acute in the District that the commission was desirous of having this legislation passed and also asked that the commission be given authority to prescribe routes for interstate” busses entering the District and require them to establish terminals instead of occupying the streets with their stops to take on and let off pas- sengers. ‘The committee felt that legislation to control routes and bus stops for interstate busses should be dealt with in a separate measure. ‘The committee also acted favorably on the request of Representative Deni- son of Illinois that a favorable report should be made on the Senate bill to change the name of Iowa Circle to Logan Circle in order to expedite con- current action by the two houses. The Senate has passed this measure and an identical bill has been reported from the House District committee.

The first step, he said, was to visit the vari- ous officials having data on these mat- ters and obtain it, and then after tabu- lation to compare the facilities here with those in other cities and deter- mine the per capita amount which is spent. Later in the Summer, he said, a real ‘which would include the determination of all forms of habitation in the District. ‘The survey is being planned so that the Board of Trade will have accurate information on everything in the com- munity and would be able to furnish Bix girl students are being graduated BSeventeenth and K streets.
