The public hearing on lower cleo.
trio rates set for next Wednesday
will be merely a preliminary in
curry on the part OF the Public
Utilities Commission. A second
hearing win follow within several

The public utilities act states
that when proceedings to reduce
rates are instituted by the Com.
mission that body must call a
preliminary hearing, to be followed
by a final inquiry.
Immediately after Wednesday

tentative order reducing rates OF
the telephone company. This
order will be made public and al
the second hearing the Ncompany
will have a chance to show why
the new rates shall not be enforced
Vigorous opposition on the part
Of the telephone company to low

Major Sullivan Urges
Auto Tags Be
Enlarged

Major Daniel Sullivan, super
intendent of police, today sug-
gested to Commissioner Cuno
H. Rudolph that the numerals
on automobile license tags be
enlarged.
"The greatest trouble in ac-
cidents, where q driver speeds
away without making his iden-
tity known, is that pedestrians
and others nearby find it diff
ficult to read tag numbers,
he said.
ct is hard to read numbers
on D. c. tags when an automo-
bile is running thirty or forty
miles an hour"
Major Sullivan favors the
adoption of a uniform tag
throughout the country.
He also declared that the
man whose machine hits some-
one and who drives on should
be regarded as a murderer. |"
He pointed out that but IS or
80 per cent of the motorists in
Washington obey traffic regu-
lations. The others, he said,
either wilfully disregard the
law or are careless.
