PATRICK DEFENDS
CAB METER ORDER
Willing to Obey Congress
Mandate, Commissioner
Says; Tells of Hearing.

The Public Utilities Commission late
yesterday issued statement expressing
its willingness to obey any mandate of
Congress in the matter of putting meters
in taxicabs, although pointing out the
order for the installation now being
litigated was adopted after a full hear
ing on the subject. The statement,
signed by Gen. Mason M. Patrick of the
commission, was as follows:
After zone cabs appeared in the Dis
trict of Columbia, for months the COM
mission carefully observed their opera
tionS and the results which followed.
In October, 1881, after serving notice
on all interested parties the commits
sion held public hearing which, lasted
for several days, at which every person
who so desired was given an Opportu-
nifty to express his views under oath.
This was one of the longest hearings,
think. the commission has ever held
The commission then studied the eVi-
dence as contained in the voluminous
transcript, and, after having weighed
all Of it most carefully, unanimously
passed its order, which required the
cabs to operate with taximeters, and at
a rate which IS fairly comparable with
the zone rate, one which inSures the
cost of the service rendered being in
proportion to the distance travelled, the
falrest and most equitable for both the
public and the operators.
This order was appealed, the case
is now pending in court, and an early
decision is expected.
The commission has learned infor-
mally OF a resolution concerning this
matter, passed today by the House of
Representatives. A copy no doubt will
be received shortly. Until then, the
commission cannot determine what it
Will do, but will, of course, obey any
mandate of Congress"
The action of the House yesterday
met with criticism by a Washington
chamber Of Commerce committee
today
Points to Court Test.
Calling attention to the fact the
Utilities Commission order was now
being tested as to its legality by the
courts, George E Keneipp, chairman of
the Transportation Committee of the
chamber said:
This committee cannot pretend to
pass upon matter which has reached
the stage of litigation, but as chairman
OF the Transportation Committee feel
very strongly that criticism should not
be made until after the action of the
courts has been completed.
If the court findings do not meet
with public approval, Congress has the
power to change or to modify the au-
thor1ty which it has vested in the Pub
Tic Utilities Commission"
Keneipp said his committee had rec
commended. and the board of directors
OF the chamber had approved, the ad
visibility of some change in the method
OF measuring taxicab service so the
charge per customer will be more
nearly proportionate to the service rem

.UPTURN FORECAST
IN BUILDING COSTS
Architect Complies Data to
Show Trend Following
Standard of Living.

Indications already are apparent that
an increase in building costs is on the
way, according to a study made by
Charles F Masten of the Northern
California Chapter of the American In
stitute of Architects.
Mr. Masten has charted data to show
that construction costs, both as to la
bor and materials. increase as the
standard of living rises.
Doubled in % Years.
I'm 1850 the per capita wealth of
the United States was placed at $500.
Roughly speaking the per capita
wealth of the United States doubled in
% years" he states.
This growth in per capita wealth as
an index is directly related to the
standard-of living growth. The per
capita cost of building improvements
continually increases. 1t was 500 in
1920: it should be SIPS in 1943
I'VE are often reminded that certain
materials cost less today than they
might have cost 10 or Is years ago.
Such conditions would tend to refute
the statements above. In contradiction
to this we have the condition that peo-
pie demand in their building improve
mentS all of the latest inventions that
the building industry has to offer"
Improvements Demanded.
He cited the present day demand for
complete sanitary plumbing systems,
efficient modern heating plants, build
ing insulation. mechanical refrigeration
and other new developments.
Add to these improvements the in
crease in intelligence and taste of the
public and the greater beauty of our
homes and buildings" he urges. by
no stretch of imagination can We be-
lieve savings in cost, the result of
highly industrialized mass production,
offset the ever increasing demand for
better living and working standards for
the American people"

Although sales are not as plentiful

the trend of buyers is more and more
