BUS REGULATION
TEST UP TO COURT
Power of Utilities Body Issue
Tomorrow Involving
Blue Ridge Co.
Staff Photos.

The first legal test Of the authority
of the Public Utilities Commission to
regulate motor bus routes in the Dis
trict, repoSed in it by the new trafic
act which went into effect July /, will
be made tomorrow in Police Court in a
case involving the Blue Ridge Transit
Co.
The commission, through its assist
ant general counsel, William A. Rob-
ertS, has charged the bus company, an
interstate carrier, with deviating from
the prescribed route, in alleged viola
ton of existing regulations. Instead of
turning north from Pennsylvania ave-
nue. at Thirteenth street, as ordered by
the commission, the conpany's buses,
it is alleged, run to Fourteenth street
and turn north, passing the terminals
of two other interstate bus lines.
The outcome of the case, it was said,
will be awaited with interest by all
interstate bus operators, especially
those who are not satisfied with the
routes prescribed by the commission.
On the court decision will depend the
effectiveness of the commissions order
of several months ago forbidding inter-
state buses to enter the downtown
congested zone after March Is, next
year.

great numbers of sights, sounds, tastes

patches of the little gorilSs cerebral

seeing, hearing or feeling. There are
large areas between them which are
not connected dir ectly with the out

specific function can be assigned. That

Still larger parts OF Edith Riley's

D. c. GETS INQUIRY
ON SITE OF SCHOOL
Commissioners Will Answer
Education Board Letter
on Status This Week.

This week the District Commission
ers will wrestle again with the prob
lem Of purchasing a site for a new
high school in the Reno section of the
city. Yesterday they received from
the Board of Education letter inquir-
ing what the present status of the
purchase is. The answer to the ques-
ton involves history of a long wran-
gle over the purchase of two school
sites in the Reno section, and thus far
no visible action has been taken look
ing toward acquisition Of the high
school site, although on recommended
ton Of the Commissioners the appro-
priation for its purchase was made
Immediately available" when the Dis
trict's supply bill was passed last Feb
ruary.
A site designated for an elementary
school, at Thirty-ninth and Fessenden
streets, is now under condemnation, all
though there is a possibility that this
site may be used for the high school
instead. This site is not favored by
the school authorities for high school
purposes, on the ground that it is too
small and too expensive. Another site
on Chesapeake street, further to the
south, has been recommended.
hCbAOh ais W WAdCCEldhLCs
The action of the Board Of Education
followed a recent report that the Com
missioners intended to wait until Con-
greSs convenes before going ahead with
acquisition of the high school site. On
october II, DR.. Luther H. Reichelderfer
had said that the Commissioners and
the Board of Education would come to
rather prompt agreement" and that
the high school site would be given
definite action the next week. The &C
ton, however, has not materialized.
Meanwhile, the Board of Education
has expressed the view that II action
is not taken promptly, Western High
School will have to be run on q part
time basis before the new high school
can be completed.
In some quarters the delay In the
purchase of the high school site has
been laid to ''gentlemans agreement
between Engineer Commissioner John
c. Gotwals and Senator Gerald P. Nye
of North Dakota, whose home at 1902
Grammercy place is in the immediate
vicinity of both sites. The agreement
was reported to be that the elementary
school site at Thirty-ninth and FeSsen-
den streets would be used for the high
school.
Will Answer This Week.
Senator Nye, however, has said that
his only interest is that an elementary
school shall not be placed on the
Thirty-ninth and FeSSenden streets
site.
1t Is reported that Assistant Engi-
neer Commissioner Holland L. Robh
has recommended a site for the high
school to the Commissioners, but no
action is known to have been taken on
| the recommendation,
DR.. Reichelderfer yesterday said that
would receive consideration by the
Commissioners this week,
