GRADE CROSSINGS
TO BE ELIMINATED
Commissioners List Five, Including
Lamond Station, in Reply to Sem
ate Committee Inquiry.

Answering a request of the Senate
District committee, the District Com
missioners today advised Chairman
Capper that they contemplate elm
mating five railroad grade crossings
one of which has already been pro
vided for at Lamond Station.
Another of the five, that on Mich
igan avenue northeast, Is covered by
a separate bill now pending in the
Senate, and the other three are
Fern street, viaduct to take the
place of the present grade crossing
at Chestnut street, estimated cost
s275.6S7, of which the railroad com
nanv's share would be S80,447; Var.
mum street, a viaduct to replace the
Bates road crossing, $4,000. railroad
share, $43,75O and Eastern avenue
yiaduct to replace Quarles street
crossing, $152, 1852, railroad company S
share, 76,426. The cost of the La.
mond Viaduct already appropriated
for is estimated at $4,000. and the
Michigan avenue viaduct would cost
$226, 900.
Gamer that there are other crossings
at Sligo Mill road, at Queen Chape
road and at River road, which are
spanned by wooden bridges maintain
ed by the railroads. The Commits
sioners do not propose to replace these
because they are located over a line
not heavily travelled and are kept In
a substantial state of repair. There
also are grade crossings at Pennsyl
yania avenue, Howard road, Sumner
road, Portland street and Magazine
road, east of the Anacostia River, the
elimination of which Is not being con
sidered because of the infrequent use
of that trackage.
The Senate committee already has
reported favorably the Michigan ave

slider the information relating to the
other crossings at its next meeting.

UTILITIES HEARINGS
MAY Be CURTA|LED
$4,000 in Appropriation Bill
Is 1000 Less Than Need
ed, CoveII Explains.

Public hearings of the Public Util-
tiles Commission will have to be cur
tailed to some extent unless Congress
adds 81 900 to the commissions Incl
dental expense item in the District
appropriation bill, according to Maj.
w. f. r. Covell, assistant engineer
commissioner, assigned to public
utilities.
AS reported to the House the ap-
preparation bill provides $4,000 for the
incidental expenses of the commits
sion, 81 900 less than the minimum
amount required to conduct public
hearings and pay for stenographic
reports and other items. Maj. Covell
explained today. The appropriation
last year was S. 900. Maj. Covell said,
and this amount just barely will meet
the expenses up to June 80, despite
the fact that rigid economy has been
practiced. Public hearings are abso-
lutely essential, Maj Covell explained,
as the commission would have no legal
right to issue an order unless they
were held.
. Through combined hearings at
which two, three and four petitions
were considered on the same day, Maj.
Covell said, the commission has been
able to economiZe, and keep within its
S.. 900 appropriation. The services of
a. stenographic reporter and photo
static copies of his transcript are ex-
pensive items, he declared, and by con-
sidering two or more applications on
the same day the cost OF the short
hand reporter Is not increased as he
receives the same compensation re-
eardless of the amount Of time he
works.
Mai. Covell, as we'll as other officials
connected with the commission, indi-
Gated that they were elated over the
item in the appropriation bill provid-
ing a salary for a counsel for the COM
mission. While the bill does not
specifically state that the counsel
shall be a peoples counsel the officials
believe that he could be used for that
nurnose and that the salary provision
was included in anticipation of the
ma ssaee of the bill now pending in
CONGRESS- which would reorganize the
Commission and create a people s
counsel.
CORPORATION Counsel Francis H.
Stenhens. who now serves as the COM
missions legal adviser, will not lose
his status in this capacity, according
to commission officials, If the reorgan-
,zation bill is enacted. The commits
sion now pays Mr.. Stephens a salary
Of 81 900 a year for his services, which
added to his stipend as corporation
counsel. makes an annual cOmpensa-
tion of $4,000, the same amount as
provided for the proposed peoples
counsel.

Following several conferences dur
ing the past week between President
Coolidge and Republican leaders of the
Senate and House the latter now have
fairly accurate idea of what the
President expects to be accomplished
between now and the end of the ses-
sion and they are shaping their legis-
lative course accordingly.
Realizing that it is possible for Con-
gress to adjourn between the middle
and last day of May, the President has
endeavored to impress upon the party
leaders at the Capitol his interest in
certain pending Legislation and his de
sire to see these measures passed with
out unnecessary delay. Also he has
insisted that the leadership of both the
Senate and the House rearrange their
| original programs so as to save the
more important legislation from the
last minute jam.
