of bars was rugged up in the barn

work in earnest. Within a few

SLASH LIKELY,
SAYS OFFICIAL
Decrease Is in Sight, Says
Hanna in Opposing Pole
Removal.

A decrease in street car fares Is in
sight. John II. Hanna. vice president
and general manager of the Capital
Traction Company. indicated today in
a public utilities hearing on the re-
moval of trolley poles from the
center of Connecticut avenue north
west to the sides of the street.
Mr.. Hanna made mention that
many requests had been made to ex-
tend its underground system from
Twentieth and Calvert streets to
Cleveland Park. He said that such
an extension would involve an ex.
penditure Of about 1925 900 and would
only prolong the time for reduced
fares in Washington.
The Capital Traction official indi.
Gated that he believed normalcy was
returning in the District and that
lowered fares were not only a posi-
bility. but a probability in the near
future.
The company renewed its request
for permission to remove trolley poles
from the center to the sides of the
avenue. Mr.. Hanna secuted the idea
advanced by writers to the Public
Utilities Commission that poles on
the sides of the street were danger
GUS, pointing out that trees, lamp
posts, patrol and fire boxes and car
stops were now along the sides and
were not dangerous.

Probe of d. c. Finances
to Materially Affect
City's 1928 Tax Rate

The final action Of the Congress
sional committee investigating the
Districts surplus in the Treasury
will considerably influence next
years tax rate. Commissioner Cuno
H. Rudolph said today.
II Congress allows the District its
claimed s5.000,000 surplus the tax
rate, beginning July 1 next year,
will drop about ten cents a hun
dred. or from $1.30 to $3.50, Mr..
Rudolph declared.
Failure of Congress to allow the
surplus will result in a boost of
about ten cents.
Rudolph said It would not be, pos.
sible for the action of Congress to
affect the tax rate for the present
fiscal year. The rate. he said, has
been established and must stand
until July of next year.
The new rate Of s1.30. as set by
the Commissioners yesterday, is an
increase of Z per cent over last
years rate.

The board only wants the children
to remain in the home SO long as no

that II does not intend putting them

HALF-CENT FARE
TAXPROPOSED
FOR.kEY BRIDGE
Capital Traction Asks Extra
Levy on Patrons for Ex-
tending Tracks.

The Capital Traction Company to-
day asked the Public Utility Commits
sion for permission to collect one
half cent fare from every passen-
ger using its cars to cross the new
Key Bridge in Georgetown.
John II. Hanna, vice president Of
the company. In presenting the com.
panys request to extend its tracks
across the bridge, declared the law
provides a tax Of one-half a cent
from every street car passenger
crossing the bridge.
Mr.. Hanna declared the extension
into Virginia would not yield any i'm.
mediate benefits to the company and
pointed out that the payment Of this
tax would be a hardship. He nug-
gested that passengers pay a fare
Of u cent until such time as the law
providing the tax shall be repealed.
Sees Benefit Accruing.
The company's extension plan was
fully explained by Mr.. Hanna. He
said the Capital Traction cars would
run into a loop located on a Govern
ment reservation Immediately north
OF hume avenue in Rossiyn. Ada
cent. he said. would be the termini
for the Washington Virginia Rail
way Company and Old Dominion
Railway Company.
Extension OF the tracks would be
of benefit both to District and Vir.
ginia residents and would have a
tendency to build up that section Of
Virginia in and near Rosslyn, MIR.
Hanna said He declared the com.
pany believed that the extension
would eventually be a paying prop
osition for the company.
The Old Dominion Railway, Mr..
Hanna said, has decided not to take
advantage Of the provision in the
law giving II the power to extend its
tracks across the bridge. He said
the Capital Traction Company felt
that II was doing a public service in
providing transportation. The ex.
tension will cost the company
$3.50, 900.
Objects to Paving.
Mr.. Hanna also expressed the
opinion that the company should not
be compelled to pay for any paving
on the bridge. declaring that neither
busses or automobiles paid any
such tax.
The company will start work very
sHOTlly OH stfuCtiHk llb tTdChS
and said the entire extension would
be completed by next spring. In the
meantime, II the bridge is completed
before all Of the tracks are laid. the
old Acqueduct bridge will continue
to be used by cars Of the Old
Dominion.
Tickets to cross the bridge should
be sold two for one cent. Mr.. Hanna
said.

ing the Federation of Citizens Asso-
citation. spoke before the commission.

mean an added burden on car riders
