TAX REFUNDS

Corporation Counsel William w.
Bride believes the District is paying
too many claims for improper as.
sessment under the Borland law
against triangular lots. He is pre-
pairing to contest several such claims

the District Supreme Court nave
ruled that the District must refund
to owners of triangular lots taxes
collected from them as special as.
sessments for street paving.
In ruling on the case now used
as a precedent the courts did not
touch on several boints involved in
similar cases and District officials
are wondering If they can't find

money.
Scores of claims for refunds have
been filed at the District Building
and several have been paid.

NEW j. G.
TlLEA[)
WAY

The Harley P. Wilson trac-
ton merger plan is likely to
be revived in advance of the
regular session of Congress in
December, it became known
today.
This will be one of the first off
shoots of the work of the new
Public Utilities Commission, officials
forecast, taking it for granted that
the fare increase application of the
Capital Traction Company will be
held in allegiance, If not denied.
Will Take Initiative
1t is anticipated the Public Utili-
ties Commission itself will take the
initiat.Ye in advancing the interests
of merger, probably recommend
ing a number Of changes in the
agreement as 1t was submitted to
the Senate District Committee last
year.
The merger agreement in the
form in which it was finally drawn
-
gan is regarded as a great i'm
provement over the original Wilson
merger agreement, and probably
will be ratified by Congress as soon
as the opposition of Senator Blaine
of Wisconsin. and several other
members of the Senate progressive
bloc, can be counter-acted.
Resubniission Planned
Plans are already being made for
the resubmission of the Wilson
agreement to the stockholders of
the Capital Traction Company and
the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company. inasmuch as ratifi-
cation of the original agreement by
the owners of the utilities expired
on June /. This move probably
will be made shortly alter the com
ing hearings on the Capital Trac.
ton Company's application for a
fare increase are completed.
Reports reached Washington to-
day that the North American Com
pany, which is the holding COM
pany supporting the Wilson merger
agreement, is to be consolidated
with or absorbed by the Middle
West Utilities Company. of which
Samuel insult is the dominant force.
Wilson Denies Story
There was prompt denial of
the story, however. from Harley
p. Wilson, who said: There is
nothing to the report. l haven't
heard a word of any such consoli-
dation, and / certainly would hear
something il the report had any
basis.
why should there by any con-
solidation? l can think of no logi-
cal reason. for one. No, there is
nothing to it,"
There is a general feeling In
local civic and financial circles
that the proposed local traction
merger is an inevitable develop
ment of the near future. despite
the buffetfngs the Wilson plan has
received in Congress. The new
Public Utilities Commission may be
a powerful factor in effecting the
passage of the merger legislation,
it is felt.

In a recent statement DR.. Hick.
ling took the view that traffic regu-
lations are so,, numerous and COM
plicated that the average motorist,
in an effort to comply with them
all. is gradually falling victim to a
type of mental ailment, which DIR.
Hickling adds. is responsible for
many traffic accidents.
Few Regulations
HarIand came back in reply TO DR..
Hickling's statement with one to
the effect that there are only about
Is traffic regulations that the
motorist has to deal with as a
general thing, and that If a man
goes bit balmy trying to remem.
ber so few he should not be allowed
on the street.
1t is true. Harland admitted, that
there are many motorists in the
District who are not mental giants
and that on occasion a batty sort
of driver may slip through and
get permit to operate a machine.
As for saying that all drivers are
getting in some sort of a praecox
class-"poofi" says Harland.
Drivers Careless
The trouble with the average
driver, the traffic director allows, is
the driver gets a bit careless and in
so doing fractures a traffic regula-
ton. That does not imply that the
driver needs the attention of men
tai expert or that he should he
hustled off to some nut factory, Har-
land indicated.
The traffic director is willing to go
a step in DIR. Hickling's direction
when the. actions of many pedes-
trians are studied, but as for conced-
ing that all automobile drivers have
screw or two loose, Harland is at
odds with the eminent specialist.
In the opinion of the director of
traffic. one of the best cures for the
new type of brain ailment. which
might well be termed ''regulitis," is
to take those who suffer to the point
of collision and mayhem int court,
where the judge will administer a
dose that will eradicate the trouble,
temporarily. at least.

BOXING SOUGHT
FOR CHARITY
IN D. {.

Among the r sol u t j ons
adopted last night at the an
nual encampment of the Dis
trict of Columbia department
of Veterans Of Foreign Wars,
at Western High School, was
one calling for a blacklist Of
Congressman who fail to act
favorably on the demands and
needs of ex-service men.
The blacklist would be circulated
among the Congressmen's constitu-
ents a month before elections. 1t
would be compiled from records
kept by the veterans organization.
The record of every Senator and
Representative on all legislation af-
fecting the ex-service man would be
kept up to date and then sent to his
district.
Before such resolution can be.
come a policy of the whole organi-
Zation. it must be acted upon at
the national encampment of the
veterans in st. Paul in August.
Little or no trouble is expected in
getting the national body to adopt
the District departments resolution.
Want Boxing
Another of the resolutions placed
before the national organization is
the plea of the District posts for
the parent body's approval OF a
bill to be introduced into Congress
legalizing boxing in the District.
Representative Royal S. johnson
Of South Dakota, and Senator
David /. Walsh of Massachusetts,.
are preparing such a measure at
this time. 1t is understood TO be
patterned upon the Wisconsin law.
which permits 10-round, no decision
bouts under the supervision of three
boxing commissioners who serve
without salary.
Posts throughout the country
find boxing matches sources of
revenue in raising funds with which
TO maintain their charities for the
benefit of ex-service men and their
families. Under the existing Dis
trict laws such contests are barred.
II the District Commissioners
continue to withhold from the vet
Grams the same privileges accorded
the Community Chest when their
annual poppy sale is conducted. the
veterans will take their fight to
Congress, another resolution pro-
posed.
Other resolutions urged: A
central home to serve as head.
quarters for all the Districts posts.
and increased pensions for disabled
veterans and Civil War veterans
and their dependents. The encamp-
ment will close tonight, the most
important business vet to be con-
cluded being the election of Of
ficers.
