BUS UNION DEPOT
!. Project TAKEN UP
childress and Fisher Of UtiIi-
ties Commission to Visit
Other Cities.

With two definite offers from real
estate operators to erect the proposed
union depot for motor buses engaged
in interstate transportation, John w.
Childress, chairman Of the Public
Utilities Commission. and Earl v. Fisher,
its executive secretary, made eprelimi-
nary arrangements yesterday to leave
Washington the latter part Of this week
to study motor bus terminals and motor
bus regulation In other cities.
Preparations for the trip had been
held In allegiance pending authorization
by the Board of District Commission
ers Of the incidental expenses. This
was done Friday afternoon on formal
application by the Commission.
Study In Other Cities.
Childress and Fisher win study how
bus terminals in other cities were
financed, the number of buses accom-
modated and other general and detailed
features Of the depOts. Both also plan
to investigate the manner In which va
rious cities control bus lines, the privi-
leges granted them and whether buses
are permitted to park in public high
ways during layover periods, and the
license fees charged buses.
Although the itinerary has not been
completed, the commission ofiicials in
tend to visit cities which have out
standing bus depots. These include
Charlotte, Atlanta, Cincinnati, Louis
vile, Indianapolis. Minneapolis, Column
bus, Wheeling. Pittsburgh and Atlantic
City.
Two Definite Offers.
The two definite offers to erect bus
depot came from real estate operations
who propose to provide terminal faciii-
ties in buildings they plan TO construct
in the near future. One plan Is TO
create o terminal on the ground moor
of an ofice building to be erected on
the site OF the old Hudson, Hotel on II
street between Thirteenth and Four
tenth streets. The other Is to make
the terminal part of public market
project, which 1t is planned to locate
near the business section.
Aside from the definite offers OF the
real estate operators to erect the ter.
mi1al, Mr.. Childress also has received
q number Of suggestions where the de-
pot should be located. 1t is his opinion
that a central location either In the
heart or on the fringe Of the business
section would be preferable.
