C, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1936 CITENS PROPOSE SHET T0 BUSES Takoma, D. C., Group Asks Abandonment of Olid Four- teenth Street Line. ‘Transportation needs and zoning problems featured the opening meet- ing of the Citizens’ Association of Ta- koms, D. C, in the Takoma Branch of the Public Library last night. President Wallace C. Magathan pre- sided. William H. Parsons, chairman of the Public Utilities Committee reported both for that committee and for the Joint Mass Transportation Committee representing the Takoma, Manor Park, Chillum and Brightwood sections. Two plans were submitted, both embodying sbandonment of the old Fourteenth street Takoma trolley line and the substitution of new bus service. ‘The plan finally approved is sub- atantially as follows: (a) Abandon the present car service on Kennedy, Third and Laurel streets. Substitute an all-day shuttle bus service over the same route to Fourteenth and Col- orado avenue with transfer at that point under a shelter to be erected by the Capital Transit Co. This serv- ice is to be on at least a 15-minute headway to furnish adequate service. (b) Continue the present Takoma rush-hour express service over its pres- ent route, except as to its northern terminus, which it is proposed to change if a& proposed similar service is to be operated from Laurel street and through Third street as proposed. Establish an all-day 15-minute head- way bus express service down Fifth street to Grant Circle, thence via New Hampshire avenue, Sherman avenue, Vermont avenue and Thirteenth street to the downtown section. (¢) The final proposal in the plan is to establish a rush-hour and all-day express bus service on Laurel and Third streets, following the present car route to Kennedy street, then leaving the car route, continuing on Third street to Kansas avenue to Sher- man Circle to Tllinois avenue to Grant Circle to New Hampshire avenue and on downtown. If the approved plan is ordered by the Public Utilities Commission the transit company would be relieved of complying with the existing order of the commission for the double tracking of the old Fourteenth street Takoma line and the putting in of a curve at Georgia avenue and Kennedy street. « (GULBRANSEN « PIANOS OF DISTINCTIVE QUALITY REWORD: We have never offered our patrons a finer piano in the medium-priced grade— neither have we sold one Gulbransen makes only one piano—only one quality.

Arrests throughout the country for drunkenness and drunken driving have increased about 7 per cent since 193¢, according to & statement today by the Anti-Saloon League. The league said other crimes “con- nected with liquor” also are on the increase. Figures on which the league bases its conclusions are not total arrests, but the number of arrests as evidenced by fingerprint cards submitted to the Federal Bureau of Investigation by State officials. For the first six months of 1934, arrests for drunkenness totaled 13,761, compared to 30,016 in the correspond- ing period of this year. Drunken driv- ing arrests were 4,391, compared to 8,605.
