MAY ISSUE ORDER
FOR BUS SERVICE
Public Utilities Commission
Expected to Authorize
BIadensburg Line Today.

The Public Utilities Commission is
expected to issue an order late this
afternoon authorizing the Washing
ton-Interurban Railway Company to
abandon its tracks on Bladensburg
road and establish bus service.
1t is understood the company has
agreed to operate the busses for five
years, with a free transfer to the II
street line of the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company.
The company, it is reliably stated,
also has promised to pay the $4,000
it owes the District as assessments
for paving and arrangement of trcl-
ley poles.
The change from car to ous service
is being made because the company
convinced the commission il could
not meet the cost of $4,000 which
would have been incurred in raising
it's tracks in connection with the paw
ing of Bladensburg road, now under
way.
The commissioners believe the re-
moval of the tracks will make
Bladensburg road one of the most
attractive gateways to the National
Capital when the concrete paving is
completed.

DUBLIN, November 29.-The Free
State loan of ten millions has proved
a success, five millions being sub
scribed within the first three days of
Its Offering to the public.
A subscription of a quarter million
by the Protestant Episcopal Church
gave great impetus to the loan, as
evidencing the confidence of the old
unionist minority in the Free States
future. Several subscriptions of more
than fifty thousand pounds have been
received, but the governments de-
sire is to distribute the loan as widely
as possible among small investors,
giving them personal interest in the
stability of the state.
Income Tax Ruling.
This purpose was saved by a de-
c1sion not to deduct the income tax at
the source, but to leave it payable
under ordinary assessment, which
has regard to the size of incomes and
hNes abatements accordingly. The
Irish in Great Britain also are TAX
ing a good share of the loan on the
assurance that to persons not DOM
iciled in Ireland, the loan is not sub
1ect to any present or future taxation.
subscriptions also are coming in
from America, and application has
been received by radio from an Amer
lean bank seeking the position of
american distributor of the loan,
which already had been given to the
Guaranty Trust Company of New
York.
