Brightwood Considering Plan
Brightwood section has such a plan
under consideration, and already is
in communication with an out-of-

ing of the service. it is stated.
Opposition in Brightwood to zone
charges is SO great, according to Mr.
Clayton, that bus line would be as
sured of success If the zone plan be-
comes operative.
Mr.. Clayton stated that residents Of
Northeast Washington also are dgur-
ing on a bus line. He is confident
there would be a development OF the
motor bus business which would
make the zone system operate to the
