permission.
Lyman F. Stevens, charged with
violating the narcotic law, was

Crosstown Route Proposed by
w. r. & E. Discussed by
Commission

The Public Utilities Commits
sion is considering allowing the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company to operate a cross-town
bus line over the route proposed
by the Washington Rapid Transit
Company, from Georgetown to
Fifteenth and Maryland avenue
northeast.
Cent Cash Fare.
It has been suggested that the
bus fare be set at 8 cents cash
with 2-cent transfers to street cars.
The, present fare on w. r. & e.
buses and street cars is cents
cash, six tokens for 40 cents.
Consideration of the petition of
the transit company to operate the
cross-toWn bus line is being delayed
pending consideration OF many
plans offered to improve service in
the far northwest section Of the
city.

In his conference with Major
William e. r. Cove11, Assistant

sides OF the road. For our city
streets, however, this means OF
meeting the problem does not bear
promise Of good results. On most
or our streets automobiles are
parked near the curb, and throw
ing the snow from the center OF
the street would result in creating
a ridge which the automobiles would
have to cross in going to and from
the curb. With alternate freezfne
and thawing, this ridge would be
come icy and would impound water
making the conditions worse than II
the snow had been left spread out
and probably making it necessary
to spend money in removing it.
For such streets. some other
means of treatment must be afford.
ed, and to haul the snow from all
such streets would cost an enormous
amount of money. In the congested
business areas Of northern cities
where the snow would last for
weeks or months IL 1t were not re-
moved, it is necessary Of course
to take this snow away by some
means. The problem is, therefore
not going to be solved by the city
purchasing a large amount of equip.
ment such as Scrapers, plows, and
brushes-automObil standing at the
curb and moving in the street com.
plicate the situation so far as the
use of such equipment Is concerned.
Dumping HOppers Suggested.
8. Auxiliary facilities. If we
are to expend large amount OF
money in hauling snow from con-
siderable areas, 1t is desirable to
consider the places to which the
snow should be hauled; and per-
haps we ought to add to our sewer
capacities in certain places, at
least making provision for dump.

4. Experimental work. Many
different methods are suggested for
the removal of snow, such as using
steam, liquid flame. flushing with
water, etc. Many of these things
have been tried here and else
where with rather unsatisfactory
results; but any we'll considered
suggestions should be given a trial

given consideration by our snow

that we have our first meeting fol-

Congress Leaders Agree With
Ants That Volstead Act
Needs Changes
By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON.
rr3.~natan,,aI Nnvvu aarvane

By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON,
international News Service.
A Tightening Of dry law enforce
ment, through legislation giving
prohibition officials greater powers
in their war on bootleggers and
rum runners, was in prospect in
Congress today as the outcome
of a series of Investigations into
activities Of the prohibition bu-
reau.
Two Senate committees today
studied declarations that prohibit
ton could notl be properly" en-
forced under the present Volstead
Act. One, coming from Wayne
B. Wheeler, general counsel OF the
Anti-Saloon League, won indorse-
ment from "dry" leaders who pre-
viously opposed any tampering
with the Volstead law.
VETS May Aid Drys.
The Judiciary Committee while
closing its public hearings on the
Cramton bill-which would create
separate prohibition bureau-gave
consideration to Wheeler's state
ment that the present unsatisfac-
tory situation in prohibition en-
forcement" was due to defects in
the Volstead law. He urged new
LEGISLATION to stamp out illegal use
of industrial alcohol. charging that
millions of barrels" were now be-
ing used by bootleggers with the
Government helpless to halt the
illegal trade.
AS a result of Wheeler's recon-
mendations. there was possibility
that for the first time vets and
drys in Congress would unite to
make prohibition enforcement real.
The most prominent vets in Con-
gress-Senator Stanley DemD OF
Kentucky and Congressman Hill
Rep.) of Maryland-have urged
stricter enforcement for years. con-
tending that a bone-dry rule would
arouse so much popular disapproval
as to bring about repeal OF prohibi'
ton.
Dry leaders meanwhile pointed to
the recent act Of Congress in
appropriating $11 100000 for the
prohibition bureau-the largest
sum given it since it's creatton-as
demonstrating a purpose to pro-
vide bone-dry regulations.
Early Amendment Seen.
The Couzens committee, directly
investigating prohibition mean
while had under consideration a
report from John s. Pyle, its chief
counsel, declaring the present law
cannot be enforced. Pyle produced
evidence showing the 'Impossibility
Of the prohibition unit functioning
under the Volstead act" He rec
commended numerous Legislative
changes.
The committee was disposed to
recommend remedies by amend
ment Of the Volstead Act but
withheld all recommendations until
detailed evidence can be considered
1t met again today in executive
session.
Between the activities of the two
committees, administration leaders
predicted amendment of the Vol
stead Act either before adjourn
ment on March 4 or early in the
next Congress.
