RENDER RULE
NOT NEEDED
However, in Poorly Illuminated
Sections, Safety Will De-
mand That Cars Be Lighted

Director of Traffic William H.
Harland probably will ask within
the next few days that the regu-
lation requiring parking lights on
automobiles be abolished, it was
learned at his office today.
Several months ago the di-
rector recommended that this
regulation go into limbo but did
not formally forward it to the
Commissioners for action as at
that time the Traffic Advisory
Counsel was studying the regllla-
tions as a whole. 1t is under
stood that his recommendation
has been embodied in the ma
tional code.
Lights Are Unnecessary
He said that on streets which
are well lighted parking lights
after dark are not necessary and
that to abolish them will in no
way tend to make driving after
nightfall dangerous. On those
streets which are poorly illumi-
mated and where driving might be
dangerous the lights will still be
required.
Commenting on many provis-
ions in the national code, Harland
said:
81 made many recommends
tiOns in regard to changes in
the regulations, in order to
eliminate some of those which
in my mind the city has out
grown. In as far as the park
ing light regulation is con.
cerned, j held off on putting nay
recommendations through, as ] !,
knew the advisory counsel was
considering it with other pro-
posed changes and wished to
give them a chance to view the
matter from all angles.
Make for Safety
"Many of the suggestions
which the counsel has put for
ward are excellent and will tend
to the ultimate in safety for
pedestrians and motorists.
Incidentally, practically every
provision in the code which will
no doubt be adopted falls in line
with the program 1 have map
ped out for the District"

NEW VALUATION
DEMANDED BY
=. NEBRASKAN
Revenues Drop; ST ,450, 900 in
improvements Are Made;
; $1,000, 900 More Are Urged

Lower gas rates and better
service for Washington are blocked
behind one adamantine word
"over," uttered periodically in the
United States Senate.
The so-called gas merger bill
pending in the. Senate carries an
almost certain prospect Of re-
duced rates through allowing for
more efficient operation of the
gas company, but action on the
measure is checkmated because Of
its parliamentary position which
permits a single Senator to block
action indefinitely.
Howell Blocks Bill
Officials Of the Washington
Gas Light Company, which, under
the BILL would absorb the George
town Gas Light Company, declare
that economies which would fol
low passage of the measure would
find a reflection in the rates
charged consumers.
This, however, apparently is
not sufficient inducement to ST.
lence the voice Of Senator Rob-
ert B. Howell, of Nebraska, when
it comes his turn to shout "over."
This word cover" means that the
Senator is not willing to have
the bill considered on the day
uttered, and automatically pre-
vents consideration.
Wood Has a Word
George A. G. Wood, president
of the washington Gas Light
Company in discussing the pres
pect of cheaper gas held out by
the bill today declared:
"The present management
of the company believes that
by making gas cheap, by CIV
ing good service, and by eco
nOmicaI operation Of the COM
pany (which is impossible
with the present equipment) it
will be possible to make a fair
return and probably make lower
rates than now obtain. for its
customers"
Stock Remains Same
The so-called merger bill, filed
with the Senate last April, also
provides for a new financial set
up and allows for the issuance
of common stock which would
permit the utility to make capi-
tai improvements to better ad-
vantage.
Under the present arrangement
the company is permitted to OBJ
tain money for capital expendi-
ture only by bond issue. The
common stock issue has remained
the same for the past "a years.
To lower the cost Of manufac-
turing gas, the present anti
quated plant will have to be re-
placed. Expending Of several
million dollars will be necessary.
Bill Has Endorsement
The present owners of the gas
company state that the relation

Measure Fearing
Pocket Veto
81 FRANcIs v. sTEPHENsoN

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. P1-An
overwhelming majority lined Up in
the senate today TO rush the vet
Grams loan relief bill 20 the pro-
testing president.
Administration supporters were
still In rcut from the powerful BIZ
partisan coalition Supporting the
measure as it came up today des-
pite vigorous objections voiced By
the president and the treasury. The
bill allows the veterans to borrow
up to half the face value Of their
compensation certificates
The measure was before the SEN
ate backed BY q Is to 3 vote OF its
finance committee and a 363 70 SO
vote of the house. It's passage be-
fore nightfaIl vas the aim Of the
confident advocates.
Mr.. Hcover's urgent protest that
the legislation might prolong the
depression apparently had served
only to spur its friends determine
ton 10 get IL TO the white house be-
fore q pocket veto might be ad-
ministered.
Republican leaders freely pre-
dicted a veto by the president. On
Saturday the Today period proceed
ing an adjournment begins. Dur
ing this period Mr.. Hoover might
xiii the bill by refusing to sign II
before congress ends its work on
March 4. IL was TO avoid this pos
slbiiitv that senate advocates were
inSistent the legislation be rushed
through without change so It might
be sent to the white house before
Friday night.
Only one change was contemplate
ed BY sponsors Of the bill in the
senate reduction OF the interest
rate from 4 l-2 per cent to 4 per
cent to be charged on the loans
ard they were unwilling TO risk
even this unless assurance was re-
ceived from house leaders that Il
would be accepted without sending
the measure to conference.
The administration rout on the
veterans loan measure is one Of
the most conclusive since President
Hoover took office. Speaker Long
worth in the house and Senator
Watson. the republican leader In
the senate. joined supporters Of the
bill.
