DIAMOND CAB RATE
NOT TO BE CHANGED
Independent Owners Reach De.
cision by Unanimous Vote
at Meeting.

Rates in taxicabs operated by the
Diamond Cab Co., will not be changed,
it was announced today by Harry G..
Davis, president and manager Of the
concern, following meeting of the In
dependent Taxicab Owners Association.
The decision was reached by a unani-
nous vote, the executive stated.
Mr.. Davis previously had denied ru-
mors that the Diamond organization
was considering 2O-40-60 cent, three
zone system in Washington, thereby dis
persing the force of the threat made by
the Pro-Tex-U Cab Co., which employs
drivers connected with the Central
Trade Union, that its cars would run
on a 10-cent fiat rate basis If the re-
ported Diamond scheme were enforced.
The closed meeting of the independ-
ent association last night in Typograph-
ical Temple was admittedly for the pur-
pose Of discussing rate problems and
other unfinished business carried over
from session last weak. The decision
to sustain the present 35-ccnt city
proper fare was dictated by the desire
to maintain eXistant standards Of SEW
ice, which would be impossible with q
lower rate schedule, Mr.. Davis said.

than $4,000 "snipe" Signs-thoSe small
delapidated eyesores that SO long dis
figured trees and made fence rails
grotesque-were removed in two days
from the State highways of Maryland.
Maj H. D. Williar jr. chief engineer
of the State Roads Commission, an
nounced today.
The signs were removed by crews
working under the direction of main
tenance inspectors who covered every
mile of State road, tearing down the
small illegal signs and listing all those
remaining as we'll as those torn down.
OF the signs left standing some are
marked as dangerous to traffic and will
be removed If the inspectors opinion Is
verified by higher officials of the Roads
Commission.
Signs Not Destroyed.
The $4,000 signs torn down have not
been destroyed and may be claimed by
the owners, Maj. Williar said. 1t is
not expected, however, that many will
be claimed
While the two-day work of removing
and listing the signs last week was the
first intensive drive upon them since
the new billboard regulatory laws went
into effect, the enforcement of the law
will not be confined to a few days, the
chief engineer pointed out.
Precautions will be taken, now that
the reads are largely cleared of "Snipe"
signs. to see that no more are erected,
and the inspectors will tear down I'M
licensed signs as fast as they are
erected, Maj. Williar announced.
Drive Next Month.
This type of removal will be per-
formed by the inspectors as they patrol
the roads, but in addition to the regu-
lar patrol work the commission will
conduct another intensive two-day drive
next month, aided by members of
garden clubs and other organizations
who worked for the law. The two days
next month will be devoted to removing
the large billboardS that have not
obta ined licenses and been approved
Elimination of the $4,000 signs in the
past few days has already worked a
noticeable improvement in the appear
ance of many highways, civic leaders
claim
The work of collecting the taxes and
license fees from the owners of signs
who wish to maintain them is progress
ing under the direction of Maintenance
Engineer Frank P. Scrivener. Mai. Will
liar said that the State has collected
about $4,000 in taxes and license fees
since the law went into effect.

RESIDENTS WOULD
KEEP D. C. BUILDING
Senator Bingham Gains Support in
Opposing Plan to Tear Down
Structure.

Senator Bingham, Republican, Of
Connecticut, has received a number of
messages from Washington residents
supporting him in the belief he eX-
pressed several weeks ago that the
District Building should not be torn
down in connection with the Federal
triangle building program.
The Senator said in his original
statement that he had no objections to
the United States buying the building
from the municipality in order to round
out the Federal development, but ne
thought it would be a mistake to tear
it down to make way for a different
type building. Senator Bingham said
he believed the District Building as 1t
now stands would fit in with the pro-
gram of new building.
Among the letters the Senator has
received was one from a man who de-
scribed the District Building as the
prettiest public building in this CITY,"

had been invited to dine had not
appeared at the appointed hour.
The hostess was indignant be-

the accident on the road-indeed
