ice on the route it has asked the Pub
lie Utilities Commission for per1nis-
sion TO establish from Thirty-seventh
and 7 streets to Tenth and f streets
was demonstrated to city officials
here yesterday.
The six-wheeI principle Is said to
have the approval of the United
States Bureau of Public Roads be-
cause of its saving on public roads,

terially to the easy riding of passen-
gers. 1t has 81 large seats of the
heavily upholstered type and a fine
system of ventilation.
The company proposes to charge a
regular token fare, 2-3 cents, for

REALTORS COUNSEL
TO EXPLAIN BILL
Will Wind Up Argument of
WhaIey Measure Foes
in Hearing.

Hearings on the rent bill for the
District of Columbia will be resumed
at 9:15 o'clock tomorrow morning, with
Roger J. Whiteford, counsel for the
Real Estate Board OF Washington,
appearing before the joint congress
sional committee to explain tho pro-
visions of the proposed licensing bill.
prepared by the representatives Of
the board.
The hearing tomorrow morning, ac-
cordiug to present plans will wind
up the arguments and testimony OF
opponents of the Whaley bill for
permanent rent commission in the
District. Supporters OF the bill still
have three more hours of time allotted
them to present their case to the
joint congressional committee. AS
soon as the hearings have been com
pleted the joint committee will begin
work on its report to the Senate and
the House.
Ills regarded as practically certain
that the committee will propose a
licensing bill for the better regula-
tion OF the real estate brokers in the
District and a bill to prevent pyra-
miding of real estate values and
fraud in real estate transactions.
Whether the committee will seek to
continue the Rent Commission in ex-
istence is problematical. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that If such legisla-
tion IS attempted, il will be OF a tenn
pOrary character, rather than meas
ure to set up a permanent commission
to fix rates
Protests against the enactment of
the Whaley bill from the real estate
boards OF Meriden, New Haven and
Stamford. Conn, were filed in the
Senate yesterday.
