The newly organized Alexandra
Washington Buses, Inc. which
will operate between washington
and Alexandria, last night applied
to Alexandria city council for a
route through the city. The pro-
posed route was taken under con-
Sideration by the council.
The bus line will begin opera
tions December l, according to
Charles P. Orr, president Of the
company, following U. s. Route /
over the Highway Bridge.
Application has been made to
the District Utilities Commission
for a route through washington.
The Alexandria council adopted
a handS-off policy with regard to
The Washington times., 1931-11-06

Modernization of the Distrlct
code to permit the administra-
ton of estates in six months IN
stead of a year as now provided
by law. and thus release money
to those entitled to it, is being
advocated by a prominent group
of Washington lawyers and bank
erS.
Under the code as it was orig
inally drawn a year was Stipu-
lated for estate settlement to pro-
vide ample time for claims to be
filed in days when methods OF
communication were slow. With
present day methods allowing
rapid communication, the adYo-
Gates OF the change point out,
a years time delays settlement
and works a general hardship on
heirs and creditors. Settlement
of an estate in six months, it
is said, would help to insure

where estates own securities OF

must file an account OF the eS-
tate at the end Of . year and,

months, the estate may be car.
ried over and another account
would be filed ut the end Of the

Such law Is intended to pre-.
vent embezzlement and those ad'
vocating q new law contend that

Of each six-month period would
further insure against defalca-
ton.
Frederick 8. Tyler, prominent
Washington attorney, promises
efforts will be made at this ses-
sion of Congress to have the law
