GRANT ASKS AID
IN ARLINGTON

In a letter to the Arlington
County Board of Supervisors. Col.
U. S. Grant 3d., executive officer
of the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission yesterday
suggested that a board Of
appraisers be appointed to value
land to be purchased for the
construction Of the George Wash
ington Memorial Parkway.
Colonel Grant proposed that
this board consist of three mem.
bers: one to be appointed by the
Arlington County Board Of Super.
visors, second by the National
Capital Park and Planning Com.
mission and the third by these
two.
Colonel Grant wrote:
Certainly this is q project
of great interest to your county
not only from q standpoint Of
making it a delightful place to
live in, but also from the
economic, advantages that may
accrue 70 the county in in
creased assessed values and
improvements.
'ThiS commission has been
studying the tentative ways and
means of initiating purchases
within the limits of the pro
ject. Some proposals have
been received which would
enable the commission to buy
considerable areas If It could
take advantage of the pro-
vision advancing the funds
that the law requires to be
contributed by the local in
tereStS.
''If therefore, any arrange
mentS can be entered into by
your board which win satisfy
you that yOu can give some
sort Of binding guarantee for
ultimately paying the second
half Of the purchase price Of
any unit this commission would
be at liberty to go ahead with
the purchase of the property
so covered"

CHAMBER CIVIC
UNITS NAMED.

Five major features will mark
the Five-Year Expansion Pro
gram OF the Washington Cham
her Of Commerce, for which prep
arations have been under way
for some time past.
These features as outlined by
Thomas p. Littlepage, local at
torney and Chamber member. at
the dinner meeting Of the Cham
ber last night at the Willard Ho-
tel, include bureaus which will
study every phase Of community
development.
The first Of these bureaus will
concern itself with federal and
civic affairs and will seek for a
clearer outline of the relations
between the Federal and District
Governments. It will seek fairer
fiscal relations between the two
and will continue the fight of
the Chamber for national repre-
sentation for the District.
Advertising Backed
Community advertising will be
the task of the second bureau
described. Development Of a
program Of advertising the beau
ties and advantages of Washing
ton, Of sending articles to out-of-
town magazines and newspapers.
Of securing conventions and Of
greeting tourists and conventions
will be part Of the work with
which this bureau win be con-
cerned.
Another bureau will interest
itself in development of indus
tries. It's primary purpose will
be the securing of more industry
for Washington, thus creating
greater employment here. This
group will also continue the in
dustrial survey work in which
the chamber has been engaged
for some time.
Traffic Study
The fourth bureau will study
traffic and transportation, de.
voting it's attention especially to
the finding Of some solution for
the congestion of traffic in the
downtown sections and for the
parking problem.
The provision Of adequate
garage facilities for the thou-
sands Of private automobiles in
Washington will also be part of
the work Of this group. Merger
Of the street railway systems and
development Of Washington as an
airport win also be studied.

Capital Traction Head Says
FIat-Rate Cab Service Is
At Bottom of Firms Woes

Letters dispatched to all Capi-
tai Traction Co., stockholders to
day by President John H. Hanna.
stoutly defended the increased
car fare now charged by the COM
pany and placed the blame for
loss In passenger receipts main
" on competition from the flat
rate taxicabs.
The letter called attention to
the fact that the passenger re-
ceipts have shown the effect Of
general business depression and
the taxicab competition Stree the
early part Of February.
Some Relief Seen
Defending the 10-cent fare, the
letter stated:
"The losses from these causes
showed a tendency to become
greater from month to month
prior to the increase in fare,
so that IL is difficult to accu-
rateIy measure the effect, II
any, Of the increased fare on
passengers carried, but It has
given the company some meas.
ure Of relief although not yet
sufficient to make our revenues
equal to last year.
Perhaps the best picture Of
the effect of the increase in
fare is obtained from an exam
inatiOn of two periods Of equal
length, one before and the
other after the fare change be
came effective.
"FrOm June / to July ~,
preceding the increase, our
revenues were SS35 per day be-
low last year. After the change
in fare, from August I to Sep
tember 22. our revenues were
$3.50 per day below last year.
This indicates that the fare
change brought us approximate
" $3.50 per day additional reve-
nue..
Economy In Force
Economics effected, chiefly
by schedule changes and the
elimination Of unnecessary seTv-
ice have resulted in . reduction
i'm operating expenses for the
first eight months Of the year
to the amount Of SS0,139. Dur.
ing the same period ta1eS
showed reduction Of $4,000"
The letter further pointed out
that during the last six months
the tremendous increase in the
number of cheap, flat rate taxi
cabs in Washington has seriously
added to traffic difficulties and
has made great inroads on pas
sengerS.
