SCHEDULE HEARING
ON SAFETY ZONES
Utilities Body to Consider
Additional Protection Along
Connecticut Avenue.

The need of additional safety zones
at car stops along Connecticut avenue
between Tilden street and Chevy Chase
Circle will be considered by the Public
Utilities Commission at a hearing Mon
day morning at 10 o'clock.
The hearing was called on q petition
of John T. Money, 2807 Gramercy
street, urging the creation of car stop
safety zones at the Bureau of Stand
ards and Albermarle and Davenport
streets. The commission, however, pro-
poses to give consideration to the adj
visibility of ordering safety zones at
all car stops north of Tilden street to
the District line. Safety zones already
exist at car stops south Of Tfden
street.
In preparation for the hearing, the
commissions engineers, representatives
Of the Capital Traction Company and
Richmond B. Keech, peoples counsel to
the commission, are making personal
survey of Connecticut avenue this after
noon, observing the movement of trafi1c
at car stops unprotected by safety zones
to determine the effect of the establish
ment of additional zones.
Keech indicated before the survey
that he most likely would support a
plan for increasing the number of car
stop safety zones. He said he believed
the safety zones promote safety and at
the same time expedite trafflc.
The present lack Of uniformity in
safety zones along Connecticut avenue,
Keech pointed out, Is confusing to the
motorist as well as the car rider. The
car rider, he said, is uncertain when
leaving car wether a safety zone Is
to protect him, whereas the motorisJ
cannot tell until approaching car stop
whether safety zone is there, permit
ting him to continue when a car stops
to discharge passengers.
The establishment of safety zones at
all car stops along Connecticut avenue,
Keech declared, not only would remove
the confused minds of the car rider and
the motorist, but would facilitate the
movement Of traflc at car stops where
safety zones do not now exist.

U. S. BUS LINE CONTROL
BILL DEBATED IN HOUSE
ALBANIAN Attacks Proposal as
Move to Destroy Competition
and Create Monopolies.

BY the Associated Press.
Federal jurisdiction Of interstate mo-
torbus lines alternately was described
yesterday as necessary to remedy a sit
uation resulting from lack Of organiza-
ton, and as likely to throttle" compete
ton, after the House began general de-
bate on the Parker bill to place such
lines under Jurisdiction of the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Proponents of the measure said an
exhaustive study by the commission
had shown the need for Federal regu-
lation of motor carriers to protect the
public interest. A small opposition, led
by Representative Huddleston, Demo-
crat Of Alabama, contended that the
various States already had the power
to provide whatever regulation was
necessary, and that the Parker bill In
its present form would destroy COMPETE
ton and create monopolies.
Chairman Parker of the interstate
commerce committee and author of the
measure, contradicted Huddleston's
claim.

GAS LIGHT MERGER
RATE REDUCTION
limited BY OWNERS
Recent Purchasers of Local
Firms Meet With Utili-
ties Group.
CONGRESSIONAL DRAFT
OF COMBINE DISCUSSED
Union of Washington and George
town Companies Predicted to
Save Nearly $4,000 Yearly.

The proposed merger of the WASH
ington and Georgetown Gas Light
companies came in for a lengthy dis
cltssion yesterday afternoon among
members of the Public Utilities Com
mission and representatives Of the
Harris Forbes Co. of New York, who
recently purchased a controlling inter-
est in the two companies.
The question of rates came UP and
the Harris Forbes representatives limited
that the rates would probably be re-
duced should the proposed merger bill
go through.
Act Of Congress Needed.
It requires an act of Congress 10
merge the two companies, both of which
operate under congressional charters,
and a draft Of this act was under dis
cuSsion. Members of the commission
picked several flaws in the draft, and
It will be redrawn and sent back to
New York, headquarters of the new
owners of the gas company, for APP
proval. The bill Is understood to pro-
vide in substance for the merger of
the two companies with permission to
issue more stock. the extra amount to
be dictated by the Public Utilities Com
mission. There is no mention Of rates
IN the bill.
Vice Chairman Harleigh H. Hartman
said after the conference that no action
of the commission, finally approving or
disappearing the bill, would be taken
until after public hearings, in which
the matter could be fully discussed.
The object Of the merger is to save
duplication of expenses now necessary.
The Washington company owns 100
per cent of the stock of the George
town company, and they are to all in
tents and purposes the same organiza-
ton. Yet they are compelled to file
separate reports and maintain separate
accounting systems to meet the require
nnents of public utilities law. It Is
thought that from $4,000 to SIS. 600
viii be saved through the merger.
No Definite Rates Mentioned.
AS to the reduction in rates, no def
mite figure was mentioned, but 1t was
stated that the reduction would be
made in an effort to put gas into COM
petition with coal and fuel oil for
house heating. There are several gas
furnaces now installed, but the cost of
heating by this method Is considerably
greater than by coal or oil.
The present rates are 81 per 1000
cubic feet of gas consumed. The next
rate is 95 cents per 1000 cubic feet for
consumers using more than 100000
cubic feet per month. In other words,
o consumer under the present scale
must be ready to spend at least 500
. month for gas before he gets any
benefits from reductions for wholesale
use.
The new scale. it is expected, will
start the wholesale rate after consider
ably less consumption than this. Prob
ably there will be some reduction also
In the primary rate.
Those who attended the conference
were Chairman Mason NJ Patrick and
Vice Chairman Hartman of the COM
mission, Peoples Counsel Richmond B.
Keech, Wilton j. Lambert, James Piper
and F. s. Burroughs, representing the
Harris-Forbes Co.

TWO UNINJURED IN CRASH AFTER

Local Pilot pancakes" Ship
When Power Line Strips

0verheated Motor Blamed for
SmaSh-up Which Follows
Forced Landing.

After forced landing at Alexandria
Airport, Va, yesterday afternoon, In
which only his GOODNESS and good judg-
ment saved him and a passenger from
bad crash, Charles A. McAtee, 1926
Legation street, was back at work today
at Washington Airport, where he has
been employed since he completed dy-
ing training there last year.
McAtee and his companion, G. Stuart
Parker. 81 Cedar parkway, Chevy
Chase, Md, were on their way back to
Washington Airport from Quantico, Va,
when their motor began to overhead
and they made forced landing about
8 miles below Alexandria. Finding that
the water pump was out of commits
sion, McAtee did what he could to re-
pair 1t and then, believing he could
get over the remainder Of the distance
without trouble, took on again.
Motor Overheats.
The motor soon began to overhead
and lost power and he was faced with
an emergency landing. He headed for
Alexandria Airport, but had not quite
enough altitude to clear the wires
strung along the Washington edmond
road, bordering the field. The landing
gear struck a return wire Of the high
tension system carrying current from
Alexandria to Fort Humphreys and
towns along the road.
The wheels of the plane were wiped
of" and the force Of the blow threw
the nose of the plane down. McAtee
instantly opened his failing motor wide
and succeeded in pulling the nose up
in time to set the flselage of the plane
down in a beautiful pancake" landing.
He and Parker stepped out Of the ship
uninjured.
Loses Altitude
McAtee said that he could have
cleared the wires had it not been for
a down current Of air over the edge Of
the field, which cost him several feet
of altitude at the critical moment.
