Washington News SERVEE CAPACITY ONPROPISED L LIES N DOUBT Capital Transit Substitution | Plan on Connecticut Told Commissioners. PRONOUNCED SA_VINGS IN TIME ARE POSSIBLE Citizens' Association President Questions Hanna Abcut Projected Service. A time saving of approximately 10 minutes in traveling would result from | substitution of busses for Connecticut avenue street cars between Calvert street and Chevy Chase Circle, but passengers could not be guaranteed seats, it developed from testimony to- day at the opening of the public hear- ing before the Public Utilities Com- mission on the Capital Transit Co.'s petition for the change. Although well attended. no positive eivic opposition to the substitution de- veloped. Edwin F. Hege, president of the Chevy Chase Citizens’ Association, was permitted by the commission to examine company witnesses, but said his organization has not yet decided what would be its attitude. “Will it be the policy of the com- pany to furnish a seat for every pas- senger, or will we have the intolerable situation of having to stand up on the Jong ride out Connecticut avenue?” inquired Hege. J. H. Hanna, president of the Cap- ital Transit Co., replied it would be impossible to guarantee every pas- senger a seat at all times. but expressed the opinion that most riders could get seats. Better Service Predicted. Hanna frankly admitted the com- pany was moved to make its peti- tion in order to save money, and added that the substitution of busses also would give better service to the public. The company would be put | 10 considerable expense, he indicated, | by installing new tracks on Calvert | street bridge, making needed repairs, | and rerouting street cars in ac- | cordance with the recent order of the Public Utilities Commission, if it continued the car service. The re- routing plan adopted by the com- mission would require cars coming from Chevy Chase to cross Calvert street bridge and then double back so0 as to travel down lower Connecti- cut avenue, W. B. Bennett, assistant to Hanna, was the morning’s principal witness, presenting details of the company's plan. . He said the local bus line which would be instituted from Chevy Chase Circle to Eleventh street and Penn- sylvania avenue would cut seven min- utes from the running time of street cars between those two points in non- rush hours and from 8 to 9 minutes during rush hours, while the express bus service proposed would eut 10 minutes in non-rush hours and from 11 to 13 minutes during rush hours. This saving weuld result from the | greater mobility of busses rather than lesser mileage, he said Proposes Three Services. The Capital Transit Co. proposes to substitute three bus services for the street cars, and in addition will con- tinue, at least temporarily, the de luxe Chevy Chase coach line. Besides the local and express services connecting | Chevy Chase Circle with Eleventh street and Pennsylvania avenue, there would be a local line from the circle to the east end of Calvert Street Bridge. A petiticn for & similar substitution of busses north of Chevy Chase Circie is pending before the Maryland Pub- lic Service Commission. No decision had been reached by the company as to whether it would continue ousses from downtown past the circle to Chevy Chase Lake. They have sug- gested, however, inauguration of a | shuttle bus service between the circle and the lake. This matter wiil be | considered at a hearing in Baltimore | June 25. Bennett told the commission each of the three new bus services would run on a 10-minute headway, making the | interval between each bus about three | and a half minutes during non-rush | hour periods. This schedule is about | the same on which street cars now | operate south from the Bureau of Standards and a little better service than now furnished north of the bu- reau. Density Admittedly Heavy. Hanna admitted the traffic on the | Chevy Chase line has a density beyond the usual limit for bus- substitution, | but said recent developments in the | use of large capacity busses and the increasing interference with the mov- ing of street cars, make the use of busses feasible. | Unless the commission grants the company’s petition $393,000 in track replacements between the circle and Calvert street will have to be spent during the next 10 years, Bennett testified. _Under _questioning by Chairman Riley E. Elgen of the com- mission he admitted that replacement | of present rolling equipment with more modern type cars would cost an additional $720,000. The total cost for instituting the bus service would be in the neigh- borhood of $800,000, he said, of ‘which $581,000 would be spent for new busses and $218,000 for plant exten- sion, which would include the build- ing of & terminal at the Calvert Street Bridge loop. The company already has asked prices on 60 busses, some accommodating 30 passengers and others 40, which could be delivered in six weeks to two months, he said.

THREE GUNNERS ALSO HURT.ON REVOLUTIONARY WAR FLOAT. ‘I Above: ' low, the injured, left to right: HEARING CALLED 10 FIX TAXI RATE Utilities Commission, Back- ed by New Law, Sets July 3 for Quiz. Armed for the first time in several years with what it considers adequate | legal authority, the Public Utilities | Commission has stepped into Wash- ington’s turbulent taxicab muddle and called a public hearing for July 3 to fix uniform zones and rates. Moving boldly where heretofore it has been hesitant and evasive, the commission announced the hearing as District supply bill, which gives it the necessary legal power to control cabs here. Commission Helpless. ‘Throughout the recent taxicab strike the commission was helpless, although | it strove to conceal this fact and ex- ercise some measure of control to expedite a return to normal condi- tions. ‘The appropriations measure con- tinues Congress’ prohibition against regulations requiring meters, but states that none of the appropriation may be used “for or in connection with the licensing of any vehicle to be operated as & taxicab except for operation in accordance with such system of uniform zones and rates and regulations applicable thereto as shall have been prescribed by the Public Utilities Commission.” Court Ruled Zones Illegal. Previously, the District Supreme Court had stated any zone system would be illegal under the existing law. This, together with the meter ban, stripped the commission of all power over taxis. July 3 is the earliest date on which such a hearing legally can be held since it is necessary to comply with certain prescribed periods of notice. It was impossible today to fore- t _whether the present standard :eu will be continued, since mem- bers of the commission are believed to have no preconceived opinions. The commission frankly favors a meter system, but this is made im- possible by the stand taken by Con- gress.

Then, as Loader Ly- man Fitzgerald, 16, of 1722 D street northeast, was poking a sack of powder into the muzzle, a sudden explosion burned two fingers on his right hand. | _Substitute Loader Jack/ Woodyard, | 17, of 341 Seventeenth place northeast, leaped to the gun.

Action by the District Commission- ers on the request of Heaith Officer George C. Ruhland that they seek additional funds from Congress for his department was considered today, but deferred until next Tuesday. Congress struck $93,000 earmarked for the Health Department from the 1936 appropriation bill. Fearful they might meet with opposition at the Capitol, the Commissioners probably will not ask for this full amount in a supplemental appropriatien. but are expected to seek about $65,000. Dr. Ruhland has prepared several sets of figures which he submitted to the Commissioners today. One por- trays what could be done if the full amount were appropriated; another presents a more curtailed program, and still another a still more re- stricted pla In all three, however, Dr. Ruhland made provision for expansion of the nursing service, which he considers as the most important part of his public health service program. In his fight Dr. Ruhland has the vigorous support of the District Med- | jcal Society and many civic groups. The Commissioners are confidently expected to approve his request for more funds, but they want more time to study the most politic method of presenting the matter to Congress.

DELANO REVEALS PLAN TO COMPLETE 20 JOBS Refunding Will Be at Rate of $300,000 a Year—Bill to Be Drafted Immediately. The District Commissioners decided today to seek an $800.000 PFederal loan under the Capper-Cramton act | for further development of parks and | playgrounds, despite the determined opposition of Commissioner George E. Allen. Allen contended the District should | not increase its obligations already incurred for park development in the face of emergency needs for funds in | other quarters | Action by the Commissioners fol- lowed appearance before them of Prederic A. Delano. chairman of the National Capital Park and Planning Commission, who said the loan would | be used to ‘complete about 20 parks and playground projects. Under the Capper-Cramton act the District is empowered to borrow $16.000,000 for development of its parks and playgrounds. To date it has received $4,000.000, but not all of this has been refunded. Repayment of the $800.000 loan would be at the rate of $300.000 a year. the Commissioners decided, an- nouncing that the refunding would be- gin in the fiscal year 1937. At that time the city still would owe $150,000 on the $4,000.000 previously borrowed. Commussioners Melvin C. Hazen and Dan 1. Sultan voted for the proposal to borrow. Delano told them the 20 projects on which it would be used were started with money borrowed under the Cap- | per-Cramton act, and are now about 90 per cent completed. He said the Budget Bureau already has agreed to the loan and all that remains to be done is to secure congressional ap- proval. He said his office will draw up the bill immediately for submission | to Congress. FINNAN READY FOR WORK. $1,000,000 Fund Allotted and Force Organized for Parks Jobs. Advised today that the Treasury De- partment is issuing a warrant for $1,000.000, recently allotted out of the old Public Works Administration funds, C. Marshall Finnan, superin- tendent of the National Capital Parks, announced that on Monday he will start getting his new organization to- gether to make improvements in the local parks system. As a maximum, when the program is going “full tilt,” Finnan said that there will be between 150 and 200 men at work as per diem workers, taken from the District re- | lief rolls. This will be in addition to the number of men to be employed by contractors. | Finnan will build up a force of his own for some jobs, such as horticul- tural work, but sidewalks and other construction will be by contract. One of the first allotments from the fund will be $57,000 for roads in Union Square. This will involve high- way construction in the line of Sec- ond street, between Pennsylvania and Maryland avenues, and the continua- | tion of the Nortn and South Vista | drives, | Lafayette Square, opposite the White { House; Pranklin Park, Marion and | Folger Parks will be among those to | benefit.
