MULTIPLE DIRECTORATES
ARE Permitted BYL.C.c
Persons Holding Two or More Posi-
tions With Railways Permit
ted to Retain Them.

All persons holding two or more
places as officers and directors of in
terstate railroad corporations were
gwen Iegal permission by the Inter-
state commerce Commission today to
mold their various positions indefi-
nitely.
The commission in an order, which
did not name the individuals or rail-
roads concerned. said it appeared that
neither public nor private interests
would be adversely affected by the
retention of the posts as sought in
the applications before it.
Under the transportation act the
commission was given authority to
determine by today whether it was
compatible with public interest that
interlocking directorates be main
tained by railroads in any given in
stance and more than 100 applica-
tions. some of them naming a score or
more of individuals, were on hand
and not acted upon today when the
period expired.
The commission in an order last
dividual applications before it re-
Quired William Rockefeller. George
F. Baker of New York and Harold S.
Vanderbilt to withdraw from several
boards of directors. and the order to-
day did not affect these cases, in
which specific action was previously
taken. These are practically the only
cases in which the commission has
objected to the retention of multiple
|directOrates.

GASOLINE TAX PLAN
UP BEFORE AA.A.
Governors Will Consider
Maryland Proposal Next
Tuesday.

The board of governors of the Dis
trict branch of the American Auto
mobile Association will meet Tuesday
to consider Maryland's proposal to
bring about reciprocity with the Dis
trict by substituting a gasoline tax
for the present number plate charge
on automobiles.
This was announced today by Will
lam Ullman. secretary of the District
A. A. A., after he had conferred with
the District Commissioners relative
to the new proposition.
Mr.. Ullman said that he had learned
from Commissioner Rudolph that the
latter favors the gasoline tax only
in the event that it is adopted as a
single tax with no horsepower charge
for tags.
"If Maryland introduces a bill in
the state legislature providing for the
abolition of the horsepower charge
for tags with the adoption of the gas
oline tax and thereby relieve District
motorists from purchasing a Mary
land tag, that would be proposition
we might consider favorably," said
Mr.. Ullman.
The secretary indicated clearly.
however, that he would not be in ia
vor of the gasoline tax if it would
still be necessary to buy a Maryland
tag.
The District Commissioners are
marking time on the question, pend
ing receipt from the Maryland officials
of a copy of the bill which Is to be
presented to the state legislature next
month providing for the gasoline tax
plan.
At the meeting Tuesday Mr.. Ullman
said the board OF governors of the
local association would discuss the
proposed bill thoroughly and endeav-
or to determine what attitude the as
sociation should take in the matter.
Mr.. Ullman was accompanied to the
District building by M. o. Eldridge, an
official of the A. A. A.
