OLD BUOU DESIRED
I. AS BUS TERMINAL
Public Utilities Commission
to Consider Proposal at
Session Tomorrow.

The old Bijou Theater, at Little
Ninth and C streets, may be converted
into a terminal for interstate motor
busses now terminating at Eighth
street and Louisiana avenue. accord
ing to reports received today at the
Public Utilities Commission.
Plans have been made by X. l.. May
president of the Alexandria, Bancroft
and Washington bus line. IL was said
to lease the building for bus terminal
providing the commission will cnange
the present terminus at Louisiana ave
nue. and Eighth street to Little Ninth
and G. streets. and have the traflc
regulations amended so that Little
Ninth street will be a one-way thor
oughfare for south bound traffic be
tween Pennsylvania and louisa ma
avenues. The commission will give
consideration to this question at an ex
ecutive meeting tomorrow morning.
Consideration also will be given to
plans of the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Co. to erect building on
property II owns at Georgia avenue
and Galla.in street to house a new
telephone exchange.
The plans have been held In abey
ance because coming restrictions ir
that section prohibit the erection OF
such a building. Due to the urgent
need of another exchange. the com
mission. 1t was indicated. probably
will recommend that the prohibition
be removed in so far as 1t applies tc
the property owned by the telephone
company.
Another matter on the commission &
calendar is a recommendation provid
ing for revocation of a section Of the
regulations prohibiting motor busses
from laying over in the downtown
restricted area. A lay-over, according
to officials of the commission, is abso
lutely necessary If a proper schedule
is to be maintained. The recon
mendation provides for a lay-over
period not to exceed 10 minutes.
The regulation was amended re
Gently to permit the Burieith buses
OF the Washington Railway and Elec
trio Co. to lay over at the 10th ard
r streets terminus. The commission
now proposes to make the lay-over
period applicable to all buses termi
mating in the restricted zone.
