ROAD ASKS PERMISSION
TO BUY Is NEW CARS
W. r. and E. Company Plans to
Pay for Additional Rolling
Stock Out of Barn Insurance.

Application for authority to pur-
chase fifteen new cars was made to
the Public Utilities Commission to-
day by the Washington Railway and
Electric Company.
The additional rolling stock will be
paid for from the insurance received
by the company in connection with
the fire that destroyed the lexington
car barn several months ago.
These are the only cars the COM
pany contemplates buying unless il is
given allitional financial relief by the
commission.
Experts Of the commission are
checking UP the figures submitted by
the traction concern last week show
ing that two-cent transfers are not
sufficient to carry 1t over its financial
difficulties.
The new cars to be bought will be
similar to the fifty recently purchased
and placed in operation by the COM
pany.
The utilities commission has re-
voked its order permitting the street
railway companies to issue to gov
eminent departments metal tokens
for use by employees in lieu of cash
fares. The companies may now use
their own discretion in the matter
of issuing tokens.

The Senate today proceeded with

tanned the fixed idea that he was en-
titled to the appointment to certain po-
sitions and the superintendent and as.
sistant superintendent and the board OF
education thought otherwise. This Is a
matter left solely to the discretion Of
the board of education and one on
which charges against Bruce could not
and should not be formulated.
1.-THE last charge is one made on May
q. 1919. by one Daniel Murray, stating
teacher to exceed her Easter vacation
by one week, and that by SO doing the
taxpayers of Washington. D. G.. were
grievously injured 1t would serve no
useful purpose to revive matter OF
this insignificance occurring eight years
ago. 1t seems to have been disclosed at
a hearing before the Redfield subcom-
mittee in 1912. and if any notice was to
be taken of it then was the time to do
it. 1t seems to me the statute of limita-
tons has run on this complaint.
''All of the above charges were refer
red to me by the board of education for
such legal action as may be appropriate
in the premises and those charges are
all l have before me for consideration:
know nothing about the merits or
dement's of the controversy over Bruce,
as | have not consulted with either the
board of educa ton or any Of the parties
to the controversy or their counsel. AS
have indicated above, none OF the
CHdISeS DIcSeIlteU JUSTLY taHS ic6oi az
ton or other procedure on the part Of
the corporation counsers Office.
THE law enacted by Congress and
construed by the Court of Appeals of
this District wisely places in the
board of education the determination
of the qualifications of a person for
the position Bruce occupies. and he
has been under the direct observation
of the present board for sufficient
time, it seems to me. for it to- have
had ample opportunity to determine
this question. If. however, the board
is in doubt as to his qualifications. it
has the legal authority, in it's own
way and method, unhampered by
technical legal procedure, to- solve
such doubt. If. in the present judg-
ment of the board. Mr.. Bruce is quail
flied for this position. then his quail
fications have been passed upon by
that authority upon which the law
has placed the serious responsibility
of the administration of the public
school system. Its decision is and
should be final; all good citizens
should abide by it. and. in the inter-
est Of the public school system, this
controversy should terminate.
Very respectfully,

SIS, 100000 for Air Service.

Taking up the eight-hundred-and
eighty eight million dollar annual
Army appropriation bill yesterday,
and continuing its consideration at a
night session, the Senate tentatively
approved an appropriation OF $50
100000 for the Army air service, An
increase of $4O,0o0,oO0 over the
amount voted by the House.
Owing to the fact that the Army
bill, as well as the naval and other
before July !. night sessions in the
Senate this week are planned.
Plans of the War Department for
rapid rehabilitation of the Army were
revealed to the Senate by Chairman
Wadsworth, who said that while Oh
July 1 the Army would consist OF
1.039. 900 officers and men. this num-
Der would be reduced to 1iS.SS by
July 81, 472,2sS on August 81 and
from September 80 for the next nine
months. under the 100000 plan, would
consist of $4,000 officers and men.
Under the House proposal for an
Army of 900, 900. War Department es-
Inmates showed that to the last nine
months of the fiscal year the Army
would consist of 1S5.s35 officers and
men. while under the War Depart
ment recommendations for an average
of SOC. 600 it would be 44S.400.
Chairman Wadsworth said. how
ever. that whatever size Congress
fixed would be only temporary and
would remain in effect until a per-
manent military policy had been es-
tablished.
With brief discussion the Senate
adopted the item of s230.0oo.000 for
Army transportation. decrease of
SIS. 100000 from the House approRris-
ton. 1t also adopted the committee
recommendation for ss5.000.000 Army
subsistence, an increase of nearly 500
900. 900. and that of S25,000,000 for
clothing, an increase of $f,500,000.
Vocational Training.
The large increase in the bill for
vocational training facilities from
$40, 500 to $4,000. 900. as recommended
by the military committee, also was
approved. Chairman Wadsworth said
the House appropriation for this pur-
pose was "gravely inadequate" and
would prevent operation Of the law
offering vocational training to SOL
diers. Increase in the appropriation
for storage and shipping facilities
from s22,75O,0O0 to $45,000,000 was
adopted by the Senate.
The Senate authorized $ss2.000 for

ings for the housing of airplanes in
Burlington county, N. j., and
$4,000 for the acquisition Of
I Ream field in San Diego county.
Calf. for the establishment of
an aerial gunnery school. Senator
Mcclellan. democrat, of Tennessee re-
served the right. however to ask the
Senate to reconsider its action on
these provisions when the bill Is
taken up finally in the Senate.
