c. OF c. TO RENEW
TAX|CAB EFFORT
Committee Is Drafting Bill to
Give Commission Jrisdic-
.-tion Over Carriers.

Steps tn secure legislation giving the
Public Utilities Commission complete
jurisdiction over taxicsbs will be re-
newed at the regular session Of Con-
sress in December. it was indicated yes
terciay when the Washington Chamber
of Commerce announced 1T had a COM
mittee at work on the draft of bin to
give the commission full authority To
regulate these carriers and to require
them to carry indemnity and liability
insurance
The chambers announcement was
contained in letter to Earl v, Fisher.
executive secretary Of the commission.
The chamber said it's subcommittee on
Law and legislation Is preparing the bill.
Agitation for legislation empowering
the commissions to regulate taxicahs
followed the short-lived "iitney" serV-
ice introduced last year by the indie
pendent taxi owners which the COM
mission did not authorize. IL was
again reviewed when one taxi company
refused to make reports to the COM
mission and increased its rates without
the commissions approval.
The corporal ton counsels once In q
formal opinion last year In connection
with the "jitney" venture held that the
commission had authority to assume
jurisdiction over all taxicab operations.
In view Of the court decision to the
contrary. attaches Of the commission
believe that legislation Is desirable to
avoid future litigation or disputes with
the taxi operators.

BIDS ARE SOUGHT
FOR RAz|NG HOTELS
Work on Plaza Projected Is
Expected to Get Under
Way Next Month.

Bids have been asked by David Lynn.
architect of the Capitol, for the raZing
OF the first group of Government hotels
on Union Station Plaza which wiz mark
the beginning of work on the long
awaited extension of the Capitol
Grounds. The bids will be opened June
Is and the work started In July.
This initial move calls for the demo-
lition of-14 of the temporary wartime
structures, located in the area bounded
by B and C. streets. Delaware and New
Jersey avenues. This will leave several
other groups of dormitories nearer
Union Station, which will continue to
be used for Government workers for the
present.
When this first group of buildings is
RACED those two squares will be graded.
It Is expected funds viii be sought from
Congress in December to continue the
project, including purchase OF additional
land needed to meet the revision Con-
gress has made in the original plaza
improvement plan.
All of the land required for the orig
inal project has been acquired. but the
plan adopted by the last Congress pro-
vides for extending the Plaza project
further westward in order to have the
proposed new boulevard from Union
Station meet Pennsylvania avenue at
about Second street. In the original
plan it would have merged into PENN
sylvaYlia avenue at Peace Monument.
The exact time for removing the
dornitories between Union Station and
C street has not been fixed, but they
probably will not be disturbed until
progress of the improvement makes 1t
necessary.

PLANT WILL NOT REOPEN
Naval Authority Declares Station
to Remain Closed Despite Con-
gressional Movement.

The Alexandra torpedo plant Is not
to be reopened, according to . high
naval authority. Members Of Congress
from Virginia, West Virginia and Mary
land. under leadership of Senator
Swanson OF Virginia, have been making
an intensive campaign for reopening of
the Alexandria station. which was con-
structed during the war.
Echoes OF this campaign were heard
In Newport. r. l., where fear was enter
tanned that work at the Newport Tor
pedo Station would be curtailed when
the Alexandria plant resumed opera
tons. Senator Metcslf and Representa-
tive Burdick OF Rhode Island were
assured by naval officials that the rumor
Is without foundation.
Even II the Alexandria station was
reopened, 1t was stated, its work would
have no effect upon the operation OF the
Newport plant, for a three-fold expan-
sion of the Nays torpedo requirements
would be necessary TO force reopening of
the Alexandria station, and If such an
emergency arose. all stations would be
forced to work at full capacity.
