proposed legislation.
Although expressing himself as in
favor of a merger between the two
street car companies, Mr.. Zihlman
said that this legislation was in a
very uncertain condition due to the
many problems TO be completed be-
fore an acceptable bill could be work
ed out. The delay, he pointed out, in
getting action is causing the street
car riders of Washington about $780,
600 per year.

Senator Moses said that at the con-

with the President the matter of the
senatorial contest in Connecticut to
elect a successor to the late Senator
RrandeGee. The election Is to be
held December 16, which time Sena-

for Hiram Bingham, the partys can
didate, because of the tendency on
the party of the rural electorate in
New England to remain close indoors
during the winter. He said also that
Bingham's election is by no means
sure, inasmuch as a number of prom.-
nent Republicans are supporting
Hamilton Holt, the Democratic can
didate, because of his devotion to the
League of Nations and his pacifsm.
Besides this there are many Repub-

Republican campaign committee and
one of the party's floor leaders. Dur

nearly three-quarters Of an hour, the
two senators presented the exact
situation of the calendar of business
now before the Senate, and gave
their opinions as to the outcome of
several Of the more important pend

IN OBTAINING TAGS
Long Line of Auto Owners in Dis.

New Plan.

Considerable | m prove m Mt was
brought about today in the sale OF
1926 automobile tags. Although there
was another long line of applicants
In the corridor of the District Build
ing, the line moved more quickly
than on the opening day, yesterday.
Instead of requiring applicants to
fill out a detailed blank as in previous
years, Superintendent Coombs has
ready for distribution duplicate
blanks copied from the records of
last year for every motorist who will
have the same automobile next year.
The applicant is handed this blank
upon stating the number of his pres
ent tags. second clerk stamps a
new number on the blank and the
applicant passes on to the cashiers
window. where the tag is sold for a
dollar.
There was some delay yesterday
due to the fact that the blanks were
being handed out and stamped faster
than other clerks could issue the tags.
This caused some jamming at the tag
window This difficulty was cured
today by having the stamping clerk
work more in unison with the men
handing out the tags.
