Postage stamps are fast be-
coming rarity in the offices
of the Public Utilities Commis-
sion.
The commissions annual ap-
preparation is dwindling and
doubt was expressed today by
Earl V. Fisher, executive secre-
tary, whether sufficient funds
would be available to carry the
commission through this month,
which marks the close of the
fiscal year. Then, as an addi-
ton to the gloom, the District
appropriation bill is still to be
decided by Congress.
AS a result of this, several
thousand copies of letter which
the commission wrote to opera
tors of taxicabs, informing them
certain sections of the commits
sion's taxi orders are now in
force, will not be mailed. In
stead, they will be carried to cab
offices by messengers of the
office. The letter states that
the sections now in force deal
with equipment operation, pen.
alties and reports and add that
two sections dealing with the
compulsory requirement of meters
and rates are pending in the
courts.
