BLOCKS ACTION ON DC.
BUILDING ZONE BILL

Action On the House bill providing
for zone system to regulate the
height and use of buildings in Wash
ington was blocked in the Senate to-
day by Senator Thomas of Colorado.
Senator Thomas objected because the
bill creates another commission, the
so-called coming commission. He said
that the District of Columbia is al
ready infested with commissions of
all kinds. He said that 1t was a bad
way to start the new year with the
creation of another commission.
1T looks" said Senator Thomas. "as
II the time would soon be here when a
man will not be able to kiss his wife
except by act of Congress and
through the permission Of some gov
ernment bureau"
out that the members of proposed
zoning commission are already ofii-
cials of the District government. and
that no additional expense would be
necessary. He said that the coming
commission was much needed here,
and, that the pending bill was pat
termed largely after the New York
system. He accepted an mendment
proposed by Senator Smoot desiring
to protect the householder and the
use of his property. for instance,
where the householder Is asked to
erect private garage.
Senator Thomas insisted upon his
objection. and the bill went over
without action.

EXP[A|NSPR0P0SED
REROUT|NC OF CARS
w. R. e. President Assures
Continuance of Transfers
on North Capitol Line.

Reroutins of North Capitol street
cars up 11th street on March ] will
not deprive patrons Of thu North
Capitol street line of the privilege
they now enjoy OF buying 2-cent
transfer to the Georgetown line of
the Capital Traction Company.
This question was raised at a re-
cent meeting OF the North Capitol
and /Eclxington Citizens Association.
William F. Ham. president Of the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company. explained today that un-
der the rerouting a passenger on a
North Capitol street car can get a
free transfer to n Treasury car at 11th
and G streets and on that free
transfer a 2-cent transfer to the
Capitol Traction Georgetown car at
18th street will be sold.
Heating of Cars Resumed.
Mr.. Ham said that the Puolic Util-
tiles Commission order prohibiting
the use of heat on street cars during
the recent coal strike has been lift
ed and that the company is now
heating it's cars.
Discussing a complaint that cars
of the Maryland line are still going
unheated. Mr.. Ham said that, while
a passenger might have found n
particular car unwarmed. he did not
believe there is general absence
of heat on any of the lines. AS soon
as the government lifted the re-
strictions on the use of heat and
light, Mr.. Ham said. the ban against
heat on cars was lifted.
Considering Financial Need.
The company has not yet decided
what it will ask the Public Utilities
Commission to do to meet tha new
financial shortage in which the rail
way now finds itself even with tn c
rate of four tickets for a quarter.
That they will soon ask the COM
mission for a higher fare, however
is expected by persons in toch with
the street car situation.
