But Shepley reverted to silence to- day. Associates reported him irked at the publicity and disposed to let Peterlin keep sitting from now on.

G, BUS VENTILATION REPORTED BETTER Utilities: Commission Gives Out Results of Tests in 6 Vehicles. Improvement in the ventilation of busses operated by the Capital Transit Co. on its Chevy Chase line was re- ported yesterday by the Public Utilities Commission on the basis of tests of air made by a chemist in the District Health Office. In only one of six busses from which samples of air were taken, while the busses were in regular service, was the carbon dioxide content found higher than the maximum regarded as satis- factory. From the chemist, J. B. Reed, came the suggestion that most of the dis- comfort caused to passengers appare ently resulted from gasoline fumes, which he believed had been sucked MARCH 1937—PART ONE. into the intake valves of the ventila- tion equipment of the busses, The solution of that problem, Reed | suggested, rested on improvement of engines, gasoline and oil, to reduce the amount of gases which are now dis- charged into the streets. Excessive Heating Cited. Excessive heatinz of busses also has becn cited in complaints which have been filed with the commission by bus passengers. Some weeks ago, the com= mission called this to the attention of the ‘company and directed that bus drivers be directed to use more care in the operation of the hefitmx and ventilating equipment. After reading the reports of the chemist, commission officials said they were convinced there had been consid- erable improvement in the conditions of the air in busses since the ventila- tion apparatus was ordered installed and since the company had been ordered to check on operation of the equipment, Reed concluded from his study !hat ventilating facilities on coach No. 3235, | which was tested February 26, either | were inadequate or that they were faulty at the time the test was made. ‘When this bus was empty it was found to have four parts of carbon dioxide {in 10,000. This content rose to 10‘ parts when 35 passengers had been taken aboard and to 20 parts with a | a passenger load of 52. Others Showed 15 Parts. None of the other tests showed a | peck of Maine baking potatoes to Governors of each of the other 47 States. With the gifts went a Maine eook carbon dioxide content of more than | book. 15 parts in 10,000, even when a bus | was loaded with as many as 59 pas- | sengers. “Ventilating facilities which will | fi keep carbon dioxide down in a heavily loaded bus to 15 parts in 10,000 are considered adequate,” Reed said. Referring to the gas fumes, Reed | told the commission: “It is the pres ence of these nauseating fumes which | causes most of the complaints and if | the unsatisfactory conditions are to | be mitigated, the greatest field of im- | provement will be in improving the engines and gasolines so that the | engines will give off & minimum or fumes.” Potatoes Sent Governors.
