Vice President of Shannon
& Luchs, Inc.

Clarence r. Donohoe, president
of the Washington Real Estate
Board, today announced the resig-
nation of John A. Petty, for five
years executive secretary and treas
urer of the board, effective Deem
Der 1. Mr.. Petty will become vice
president of Shannon and Luchs,
Inc, one of the oldest and largest
real estate firms in the city.
At the office of Mr.. Donohoe, It
was said a successor had not yet
been chosen.
Has Had Close Contacts.
Mr.. Petty's work with the real
estate board during the past tive
years has brought him into intt-
mate contact with some Of the most
outstanding and important prob
lens affecting the general welfare
of the National Capital. In October,
1920, he was elected volunteer Sec
rotary of the Real Estate Brokers
Association. In May, 1921, this as
ISOLATION was reorganiZed Into the
Washington Real Estate Board ana
since that time the board has
grown two and a half times in
membership and has become one
Of the leading organizations In the
District.
one of Mr.. Petty's outstanding
activities was his leadership In the
fight against the continuance or the
former rent commission.
For five years he has directed
the real estate courses OF the Y. M:
c.. A. for both real estate men and
prospective home purchasers. he
Is also vice president of the Ma
tional Realtors-S Secretaries organiza-
ton. comprised of executives In
more than five hundred cities
throughout the country. Officials
of the National Association have
expressed themselves as considering
Mr.. Petty as one of the outstand-
ing board secretaries in the coun-
try.
: The arrangement and success of
the National Convention Of Real
Estate Boards which took place In
Washington two years ago was at
tributed by the officials Of that or
ganiZation in a great measure to
the efficiency and planning Of Mr..
Petty.
Formed Service Bureau
Mr.. Petty established the free
service bureau in the local board

have been recovered for persons
who have been the victims of ire
sponsible and unprincipled brokers.
Hundreds of cases OF litigation
have been prevented through this
bureau.
Last March Mr.. Petty established
bureau to gather data from the
Municipal Court in regard to evic-
tons for the purpose OF keeping a
strict watch on any attempt at un.
just evictions. -
In announcing the resignation of
Mr.. Petty today, Mr.. Donohoe high

Many questions were hurled ar
officials who were supposed to
know what was going on when
Commissioner Cuno H. Rudolph,
chairman, in the absence Of Com
missioner Bell, adjourned the hear.
ing before it had actually gotten
under way.
During the confusion it was
learned that the Washington Rapid
Transit Company had withdrawn its
petition Tor permission to run an
Interstate bus line. Residents along
sixteenth street and on Alaska
avenue were on hand to find out Il
the Silver Spring bus line was go
ing to stop and pick them up on
its way downtown.
Mixed on Hearing
It was finally explained that the
hearing set for today by the COM
mission was not for an intra-state
operation but interstate. The
hearing was for the consideration
Of the application for permission to
run from Sixteenth and Kennedy
streets to the Lincoln Memorial.
Earl ". Fisher, secretary to the
commission, foreseeing the situa-
ton which arose today, asked mem
bers OF the commission IL he should
not change the notice OF the hear
ing so that it would indicate intra-
state operation. The bus company
wants to be allowed to pick up
passengers along the route between
Sixteenth and Buchanan and the
District line.
When Commissioner Rudolph stat
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1925-11-13

ed that the application for intra-
state operation was not before the
Commission, Conrad Syme, counsei
for the Washington Rapid Transit
Company, withdrew the company =
application for permission to ope-
rate Interstate, with the following
statement:
Threat to Stop Service
AT least three hundred citizens
residing on Sixteenth street, be-
tween Buchanan street and the Dis
trict Line, petitioned the Commits
sion to grant to the Washington
Rapid Transit Company the right to
operate its Silver Spring line az
an intraestate line between the
District Line and the Lincoln Ne.
mortal.
I'm response to. this REQUEST the
company applied for permission to
so operate these buses. The prac-
teal operation OF this line up to
this time has demonstrated the fact
that this service cannot be given
to the citizens Of the District and
Maryland unless these buses are
operated as interstate carriers be-
tween the District Line and the
Lincoln Memorial. In this way,
and In this way only can this COM
pany continue and sustain its Sill
yer Spring line.
THE Washington Rapid Transit
Company therefore wtthdraWs tts
request for the right to operate &c
the Lincoln Memorial as an inter
state carrier, and announces that
unless it be given the right tC
operate the busseg Of this line az
interstate carriers over the route
above indicated it will discontinue
its Silver Spring line"
Two Applications Now
Now there are two applications
for permission to stop and pick
up passengers on Sixteenth street
between Sixteenth and Kennedy
and the District line; one from the
bus company and one from the
Capital Traction Company.
The Capital Traction Company
already has bus line running
over this territory and has pc
titioned the Commission for per
mission to extend down Sixteenth
street in competition with the bus
company.
Public hearings on the petitions
will be combined to be announced
at q future date.
