THE DISTRICTS MOTOR
CARS.

In the District appropriation act,
now awaiting conference, is q pro-
viSo that mo money appropriated
by this act shall be used for main
tenance or purchase of passenger
automobiles or carriages drawn by
horses, except for the Fire Depart
ment, Police Department and Emer-
gency Health Service"
In the same section with this, is
a provision Of s15,63i for motor We
hicles; and a preceding section au-
thorizes the expenditure Of several
thousand dollars for horse-drawr
vehicles.
There is irreconcilable conflict
among these provisions. Which
would rule if the act passed as it
stands? If the prohibitivc proviso
should be held to prevail the eff
cheney of important departments of
the local government would be
greatly impaired.
There are, in use for passenger
service in the Distric. departments,
seventy-two horses and loo vehicles.
The effect of this amendment will
be to eliminate fifty-two of these
horses and eighty-three Of the We
hicles. The District also ases for
passenger service in its several de-
partments, thirty-two automobiles
and twelve motorcycles and eight
motor trucks, and the amendment
would eliminate twenty-five Of these
automobiles in eleven departments
and twelve motorcycles in fcur de-
partments.
Investigation discloses that all
these machines, horses and car
riages have been authorized by pre-
vious Congresses, after careful in
vestigation; and their operation has
proved beneficial to the District, in
that employees have been able to de-
vote more time to their duties, rem
dering a more efficient service. Can
the District afford to pay for the
time of one of its employees riding
on street cars, if more economical
transportation can be provided:
Suppose, as is daily the case, the
municipal architect or inspector of
school buildings was compelled to
go to Anacostia or Petworth on the
street car. He would consume from
an hour and half to two hours in
being transported from his Office to
the place where he might be needed
but, few minutes. At salary of
$1,000 a year, his time in travelling
to this one place of duty alone
would cost the District from four to
five dollars, while the machine
would cost from SO to rs cents, and
save from one hour to an hour and
a half of valuable time.
No one would contend that all the
departments should be provided with
vehicles; but where the physical
needs of the Office demonstrate the
necessity of such vehicles, it is fool
ish to refuse proper provision for
them. The bill presents the anomal-
Gus spectacle of making provisions
for hostlers, when there will be no
horses for them to groom, or leav-
irg machines> and vehicles in the
hands of the District government
which they are rot permitted to use.
