DECIDED
ON CAR MERGER

Senator Warren r. Austin (R.)
of Vermont, who has in charge
the District street-car merger res
olution now pending in the Sen.
ate, announced today that he
would move to take up that
measure, independently of its
place on the consent calendar,
and was confident of the Senate
acceptance of the House merger
plan before the end Of the ses-
sion.
The Senate gave two hours to
the regular calendar yesterday,
but the merger measure was not
reached. Senator Austin thinks
the long-pending resolution is of
such Importance that it should
be given a preferential status.
Senator Blain (R.) of Wisconsin
is blocking a unanimous consent
agreement to consider it and Aus
tin has decided to make a direct
motion to vote on it.
Attempts of proponents and op-
ponents of the resolution to come
to compromise off the floor"
Senator Austin said, have been
going on but have been unsuc.
cessful so far.

New Commission Form of
Government Completes
First Six Months

Arlington county today is
celebrating the completion of
six months of a new form of
government - the commission
form-authorized by the elec-
ton of November, 1881.
A county board of commission
ers, five in number. took over the
reins of government January l,
and Immediately started a series
of reforms which apparently have
met with intense approval from
the voters of the county.
The new board, since its induc-
ton, has accomplished a number
of huge projects. Included in
them was the enlargement of the
water system of the county;
readjuStment of the tax rates and
budget; preparation of more than
$4,000 worth of road surfacing;
abolition of various ordinances
and substitution of rules with
teeth"
Little opposition can be found
in Arlington county of the new
form of government, and several
other counties of the State are
now said to be planning adoption
of similar forms of government.

still further personnel reductions
in all departments, in proportion
to the fiscal Slashes. In most
cases, these reductions of en-
ployes will wait until July Is,
