The public Utilities Commission
is without power to authorize the
laying Of street car tracks on Sew

would mean the virtual authorize
ton OF a new street car line. Con-
gress alone has authority to do this,
as the streets in Washington belong
to the United States Government.
This was the contention OF Clar-

D. c. HEAT BILL
TOBEPRESSED.
Rent Board viii Open Fight for
Act as Soon as Con-
greSs ConveneS.

The District rent commission will
go TO Congress Immediately upon the
convening OF that body and ask for
a speedy consideration OF the COIN
missions bill making II an offense
subject To a thousand dollars fine or
a years Imprisonment, for landlo"ds
failing TO furnish their tenants with
adequate heat
o. DEGREES MINIMUM.
The bill was Introduced last spring
and Is now IN the hands OF the Dis
trict committee. The measure sets
minimum temperature OF sixty
eight degrees which must be main
tanned by landlords.
The urgent necessity OF attaching
severe penalty for the failure to
furnish heat in apartmtnts became
apparent In the offices OF the rent
commission during the past week
with the filing OF scores of COM
plants about cold apartments. and
the comm ssioners declared that no
time would be lost in getting behind
the measure now in Congress.
The commissioners are at loss to
compel landlords to give sufficient
heat II they are not inclined to do so.
and they believe that only through
new legislation can remedial meas
ures be brought about.
The commission has received many
complaints charging sickness due to
cold apartments In such cases the
health department has authority to
act and can compel comfortable tenn
peratures.
HEALTH LAW INADEQUATE.
The department has taken over
number OF such cases. However. il
is declared, a stronger authority than
that vested in the health department
should be given.
While. by the terms OF lease. the
commission can order landlords 10
furnish adequate heat, such orders,
like others of the commission, are be-
ing totally ignored. ii is declared. be-
cause the commission has been held
unconstitutional. For this reason the
commission is desirous of backing UP
its present weak authority with new
legislation.

MANY CALLOUs DRIVERS.
In the last week five victims have
been left In the road and the oper-
ators OF the machines which knocked
them down have driven off. The
week previous a mother who was
taking her invalid child on an outing
in a rolling chair was left in the
road A week ago today a young
woman suffered a fracture OF the
collarbone in such an accident. and
mans leg was fractured last Sun
day. In neither case did the oper-
ator stop his machine.
Yesterday Mrs Marie Adams, sew
enty years old. 339 Sheridan road
was struck by an automobile near
her home and the operator sped off
She received treatment at nearby
drugstore. Miss Hazel Welo, twenty
two years old. 1104 NJ street north
west. suffered a fracture of the arm
and bruises about the body, when she
was knocked down by an automobile
at Rhode Island avenue and Colum-
eia street northwest The operator
drove off and his identity was not
established. She Is now at Garfield
Hospital.
1t Is proposed in the law now before
the traffic committee TO have the per-
son stop his machine whether or not
the pedestrian Is at fault. In many
States heavy penalties are imposed on
offenders convicted of falling to give
assistance to persons who have been
injured by their machines.

At the meeting Of the safety coun-
ell to lie held tonight in the District
building suggestion will be offered
by The Washington Times urging the
posting OF large placards at points
where persons have met their deaths
in the city in traffic accidents. These
placards would recall these fatal acci-
dents to passersby and warn them TO
exercise caution to prevent repetition.
