Powerful influences are pro
tecting the concessions which
local hotels are selling to tax
cab companies, Representative
William G. Hammer, of North
Carolina, charged at a meeting
of the Gibson subcommittee
of the House District Commit
tee today.
A. sweeping investigation Of the
taxi cab concessions situation was
opened by the Gibson sub.com
mittee with a view to determining
why the District Commissioners
have not abolished these conces
sions.
Donald P. Evans, an investigator
for the Bureau Of EFFICIENCY,
testified that the bureau had
recommended to the Commissioners
last July that the concessions be
abolished but that the Commits
sioners have failed to act.
Rent District Spoil
powerful influences are behind
the companies which have these
concessions" Hammer said. II
have little faith in what is being
done to correct the situation"
Evans said the Bureau OF Ef-
ficiency had recommended that
hack stands be established wherever
there was a need for them without
reference as to whether or not q
hotel stand might be affected.
The hotels have been collecting
at least SAP, 900 a year from local
taxi companies by renting public:
space belonging to the District OF
Columbia, Evans said.
1.-THE number of public hack
stands is ''woefully insufficient,
according to Evans. The District
is therefore placed in a position OF
granting licenses to hackers but
Denying them reasonably adequate
facilities for carrying on their bust
ness" he testified.
Evans pointed out that the Police
Department had recommended to
the Commissioners last July the es-
tablishment of 200 public hack
stands in accordance with the Blu
reau's recommendation, but that
only Is had been established and
these were placed in such a way
as to avoid any interference with
the hotel stands.
Representative Hammer asserted
that one big taxi cab company has
inserted in the telephone directory
the names of a number of fake
taxi cab companies and that when
these numbers are called for taxi
cabs the patron is directed to call
the real company.
81 think that is a reprehensible
practice and improper business and
should not be tolerated." Hammer
said.
Police Inspector Brown, in charge
of the Traffic Bureau, took the
stand and said that he was in
accord with practically everything
that Evans had said.
1.-THE only solution to the situa-
ton is open stands at the hotels,
he said. IT don't know Of any
other city that has these so-called
hotel concessions"

REPORT DUE ON
WEIGH PAY
BILL

The House Civil Service Com
mittee will draft its report on the
WEIGH bill to increase Federal
salaries next week.
concluded in executive session yes
terday. Government experts were
the witnesses.
The majority of the committee
members who are impatient to re-
port bill, believe the lower.
salaried Government employees need
relief Immediately. Chairman Fred
erick r. Lehlbach, of New Jersey,
has agreed to call a meeting as
soon as he returns to the city
Monday.
No Opposition Seen
incidentally Lehlbach revealed
yesterday that when he conferred
with President Coolidge in regard
to the bill two days ago he received
no encouragement over the move
ment to increase Federal salaries.
The President did not express Op-
position to the Welch bill, he said.
Herbert d. Brown, chief Of the
Bureau of Efficiency, estimated
that the WEIGH bill would increase
the Federal pay roll $68,000,000
annually.
The Federation Of Federal en-
ployes has estimated the cost Of the
bill at $35,000,000 annually. The
Budget Bureau, it was learned, has
estimated the cost at $90,O00,000.
Me-, DIa,, Dro~nsoL
Because of these conflicting esti-
mates and fearful that the Admin
istration will delay action on The
WEIGH bill until the cost has been
more accurately determined, Repre-
sentative Clifton Woodrum of Vir.
ginia suggested to the committee an
alternate plan to give speedy relief
to the lower salaried employees.
He suggested that instead of 60
ing into all the technicalities of clas-
sification, ETC., salaries of the lower
paid clerks be raised on percent
age basis. He proposed a raise of
rs per cent for the lowest pay class,
20 per cent for the next lowest, and
so on, up to salaries over $1,000,
which would get 5 per cent in.
crease.
Ethelbert Stewart, chief of the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, pre-
scented the committee with figures
showing the cost of living in Wash
ington. These figures were not
made public.
Lehlbach announced yesterday
that he is absolutely opposed to
the principle Of a minimum wage.
He stated, however, that he be-
lieves Government employees should
be paid in accordance with wages
outside of the Government. Bene.
fits of Government service should
be taken into consideration in this
comparison. he said.

Boundary Castle, the impressive
mansion of Mrs. John B. Henderson,
on Sixteenth Street, at the intersec-
ton OF Florida Avenue, probably
soon will become the home of the
Congressional Club.
Final arrangements have not been
made, but it is understood that the
club is ready to take over at an early
date the residence and the surround
ing estate, which has been one of
Washington's landmarks for more
than a quarter OF a century.
II will move out as soon as things
can be adjusted said Mrs. Hender-
son today.
For several years the mansion
has been the rendezvous of the
Diplomatic Corps in the summer
time, when Mrs. Henderson turned
over the use of her elaborate swim
ming pool and tennis courts to its
members.

"The Public Utilities Com.
mission is attempting to end
Its usefulness for a period Of
10 years by permitting the
local transportation system to
consolidate with a capitalize
ton of $50,OOO,0OO," William
Nick. Clayton, chairman of the
utilities committee of the Fed
Grafton Of Citizens Associa-
tions declared today.
This was the first bareback on
the action yesterday OF the COM
mission which approved, in practi-
cally all details, the so-called Wilson
plan of street railway merger.
Mr.. Clayton gave notice that a
vigorous fight against the ultimate
adoption of the plan will be made
before Congress.
Traction Directors Meet
The board of directors Of the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company met today to consider the
modification of the plan suggested
by the utilities board and to de-
termine whether it can be submitted
Tor congressional approval before
going to, a meeting Of the stock
holders.
The Capital Traction Company
board of directors will meet tomor-
M IN ft1n
fled plan.
The belief is held by some of
the officers of the traction COM
Danies that they have been author
lied to act with full powers FOL
the stockholders and that the plan
can go to Congress at once. This
would mean that 1t would reach
Congress early next week.
Senator Capper, chairman Of the
Senate District Committee, ex-l
pressed doubt as to whether there
would be any merger legislation at
the present session.
Disclaiming any intention of pre-
judging the merger program. Sena-
tor Capper indicated that the Sem
ate District Committee probably
would want to hold extensive hear
ings upon it, In the event that it
Is approved by the stockholders OF
the two traction corporations.
'tIt is a big question" said Sen
ator Capper. 1T is quite possible
that there will be such a pressure
OF legislation during the closing
months of Congress that we may
not be able to get around to it,"
That the commissions approval
of the sale of the bus company for
81, $4,000 will meet with stiff op-
position in Congress, was forecast
today. Clayton insists that 1.-The
commission has approved the sale
Of the bus company at an amount
100000 higher than the bus com
pany itself says it is worth for
rate-making purposes"
Ties p. u. C. Hands
Chairman Clayton points out
that il the 10-year valuation of $780,
O00, 900 is granted, the commissions
hands will be tied for that period OF
time in the matter of reasonable inn
provements in service or extensions.
Elimination of the guaranteed
per cent return sought by the trac-
fion companies is not regarded as a
victory for the public, since the trac-
ton companies may go into the
courts and insist on that return.
Since It has been shown that they
cannot earn per cent on $50, OOO, 900
fE1ey will claim that they have no
funds for improvements and extern
EiOns. Mr.. Clayton says.
1t is freely predicted that the two
traction companies and the bus COM

Wilson. will speedily agree to the
recommendations of the utilities COM
