expect to dispose of number of the

The demand for the 1884 tags has not
been as great as anticipated. Several

A new experiment in metered taxi
cab operation was started here today

The new metered rate is less than
that proposed by the commission during
the past session of Congress when il
sought, without success. removal OF
congressional restrictions against the

ing of cabs.
The commission proposed that al
taxicabs use meters, instead of the
fiat rate-zone system. and charge 25
cents for the first two miles or less and
5 cents for each additional third of a
mile
The voluntary adoption of the new
meter rate has the approval of Rich

favors a trial of this ystem along with
the rev fiat rate universal zone plan

RELIEF MILK PLAN
STUDIED BY ALLEN
Commissioner investigates
Economic Feasibility of
Crosby Proposal.

District Commissioner George E.
Allen said today he was making a
study to determine the economic
feasibility of a plan Of Representative
Crosby Democrat, of Pennsylvania, to
distribute surplus milk to Washington S
needy.
Crosby's plan was conceived with the
idea OF helping both the destitute un-
employed and the distressed dairy
farmer. Commissioner Allen said Jacob
Baker, assistant to Federal Relief Ad-
ministrator Harry L. Hopkins, had in
timated" the District would be fur
nished with funds to carry out the
plan if the Commissioners found 1t
practicable
Il have referred the matter to our
purchasing agent, H. c. Hargrove, "
said Allen, ito find out how much milk
we are new buying for relief purposes
I also intend to find cut what our re-
lief needs will be after the unemployed
now on relief rolls have been trans
ferred to civil works projects.
Conferences to Be Held.
after 1 have all the information in
hand, I shall hold conferences to OBJ
tain the opinions of department heads
and then make a decision. The main
thing is to find out whether the plan
is sound economically; whether we
could accomplish more under Repre-
sentative Crosbys plan. or whether it
would be better to continue as we have
been-giving hungry people orders on
grocery stores to buy what they need
In any event, I shall not approve a
plan which is not economically feasi-
BILE
One of the principal drawbacks OF
the proposal is the question of how
the milk could be distributed, Allen in
dicated. Under the present system, he
pointed out, hungry persons are given
slips to buy milk or other commodi-
ties at grocery stores. Crosby's plan
probably would involve setting up milk
routes or the establishment of receiv-
ing stations throughout the city where
the destitute could come for their milk
Would Block Unfairness.
The Commissioner pointed out fur.
ther that it would be unfair to grocery
stores to permit workers on C. w. A.
pay rolls to be given milk free or tc
buy it at lower than regular market
prices. He said he would confer again
with Representative Crosby before max
ing any final decision, however.
Crosby said Saturday night that the
dairy farmer would receive from 16 tc
18 cents a gallon for the third-class
milk, which is now being bought by dis
tributors at about 10 or IL cents gal.
Ion and used for manufacturing pur-
poses. Basic, or first-class, milk, which
goes into retail fluid consumption. /.
bought from the dairy farmers at be-
tween 26 and 20 cents gallon.
Under Crosby's plan, the Walker Hill
Dairy, one of the larger independents
would pasteurize, bottle and deliver the
milk to a central emergency relief re.
ceiving station at cost, about 21a cents 6
quart.

Public hearings will be held by the
District Commissioners this week on the
proposed measure for control of liquor
tales here, it was announced today by
Commissioner George E. Allen.
This was decided upon by Allen after
a review of the tentative bill. and was
Immediately concurred in by Melvin C.
Hazen, president of the Beard of Com
misSioners.
Copies of the bill, as prepared by
Corporation Counsel w. w. Bride and
his princiapl assistant, Vernon E. West,

board begins official consideration of
the legislation.
Called Excellent System.
Commissioner Allen, who has super
vision over the work of the corporation
counsel's office, said the legislation pre-
pared by that office proposed an ''eX-
cellent system"
The plan of Bride and West was pre-
pared at the request of Chairmen King
and Norton of the Senate and House
District Committees, respectively. They
have proposed a general license system
for the control of liquor here, drawing
what they regarded to be the best fea-
lures from the systems adopted by New
York, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New
Jersey and other jurisdictions.
Commissioner Allen said he favorS
the license plan, but did not indicate he
would approve finally all Of the details
of the Bride bill as it now stands. He
said it was his thought that very def
mite provision should be set up to make
hot cnYpn1prria1 nOnOnnlV could
not be developed here under the license
system.
Urges Severe Penalties.
He wants a provision in the bill to
prevent manufacturers or wholesalers
from having any interest, directly or in
directly in the retail phase of the buSl-
ness. He said he would be in favor CT
setting UP very severe penalties for per-
sons found guilty of violating reStflc-
tions. His plan also would prevent re-
tail interests from having any financial
connection with either the manufactur-
ing or wholesale phases of the busi-
ness.
While Allen believes the plan drafted
bv Bride and West generally is "splen-
did, he proposed that the Comm1s-
sionerS hold their own public hearings
ON the measure so each interested lnol-
vidual or group could StaJe tnelr views
