Utility Experts See Plan las
Most Effective Weapon
Against Taxicabs.
w. R. & &. NOT EXPECTED
TO FIGHT NEW ORDER
Additional Short-Haul Lines May
Be Formed Under Traction
Merger.

The order of the Public Utilities
Commission establishing a short haul
bus route with a Scent fare, was
viewed today in utility circles as the
forerunner Of zone system on the
mass transportation lines OF the Dis
:rict.
Long advocated by Richmond B.
Keech. peoples counsel before the
commission. and others interested in
utility problems, as the most potent
weapon to fight low-rate taxicab COM
petition, the new short-haul bus line
will be in the nature Of an expert
ment. If successful, utility experts said,
the plan might be adopted on a city
wide scale when the transportation
lines are merged.
The initial short haul route will be
confined to the business section, de-
signed primarily to serve employees of
the Bureau of Engraving and Printing,
the Department CT Agriculture and the
Department Of Commerce The line
will make a loop around q territory
bounded by Fourteenth and Water
streets. Tenth and G streets.
H. Z.
The order affects only the Washing
ton Railway g. Electric Co., and was
issued chiefly as q result OF efforts of
two Virginia bus line operators to get
permission to capture the traffic from
the large Government departments
south Of Pennsylvania avenue
The company. it is believed, will es-
tablish the line without resorting to
the customary legal battle, because of
the criticism leveled at the car COM
panies BY the commission for failure
to meet the demands Of the public for
modern transportation. William F..
Ham, chairman Of the board of the
Washington Railway e. Electric Co, is
out Of the city and could not be reached.
and subordinate officials declined to
make any prediction as to the position
the company might take with respect
to the order.
Plan to Be Considered
With consummation of the merger
imminent, there likely will be no fur
ther steps taken to establish additional
short-haul lines In the next several
months. Utility experts are confident.
however, that both the commission and
the new unified car company, will give
short-haul plan as one means of re-
gaining some Of the business lost to the
20-cent taxicabs
Omcials OF the traction companies
have repeatedly proclaimed that the
short-haul scheme would not be profit
able in Washington, and a number of
civic organizations have opposed the
zone plan because it would discriminate
against the car rider living in the
suburban sections. But those who
have studied the plan believe that some
modified arrangement can be worked
out that would be acceptable to both
the companies and the public.
One plan suggested would be to es-
tablish a short-haul zone in the busi-
ness section with fares at cents, and
leave existing fares undisturbed outside
the zone. If this Is done. the utility
experts believe. the civic organizations
might withdraw their objection to the
zone plan

Representatives of two labor unions

against the labor organizations.

was that they had been molesting his
drivers. He said the drivers had been
followed by representatives Of the union.
Through his lawyer, he also declared
the unions had distributed circulars
describing the bakery as a sweat
shop"
Pointing out that the bakery, a sort
of, mutual association Of independent

Roosevelts blanket code. Mr. Hannah

Attorney Generals Office
Rules Naming Is Not Presi-
dental Prerogative.
COMMISSION EXPECTED
TO MAKE CHOICE SOON
Opinion Was Written by ]. Craw-
ford Biggs, Solicitor
General.

The way was cleared today for the
Civil Service Commission to appoint its
own chief examiner when an opinion
by the attorney generals Office held
that this was a commission, rather
than a presidential, prerogative.
With this question settled, the COM
mission Is expected soon to name a
chief examiner who, under new ar
rangementy is to become the principal
executive officer OF the commission.
The opinion was written by j. Craw
ford Biggs, solicitor general who is
acting attorney general, and reversed
one handed down by an attorney gen
eral in 1886, under which the chief
examiner has been named by the Presi-
dent Of the United States and confirmed
by the Senate.
Differs From Early Ruling.
In differing with the earlier opinion
governing the appointment, Biggs SAID
that in the light of previous decisions
the Civil Service Commission is not a
subordinate agency attached to one Of
the so-called executive departments, but
is in itself an Independent division of
ment.
Therefore" he continued. ''in the
light Of the Supreme Courts definition
of the word department.. as it appears
in section 2, article 2, of the Constitu-
ton, it is my conclusion that the Civil
Service Commission constitutes a sub
division OF the power of the executive
for the more convenient exercise of that
power and as such is department
within the meaning of the Constitu-
ton. Therefore, the three commits
slonerS who constitute the commission
are the head of department in the
constitutional sense.
1T Is. therefore, my opinion that the
Civil Service Commission has authority
and law to appoint examiners under
section Of the civil service act"
Result of Recent Survey.
The commission sought the opinic
as the result of the recent survey {
; the organization conducted by Lev
Merriam Of the Brookings institution
| who expressed the opinion that it wa
highly desirable that the commission
, consolidate the Office Of chief examine,
| and secretary in order to centralize
authority, and said II possible the ap-
| polntment Of this officer should b
fCotcO LII Tile COLlullSSlOIl.
Merriam pointed out that II the con
mission were. making the appointmel
that no doubt the appointee woul
come from the ranks of the commits
sion itself. which he thought was q
plan to be desired. He suggested that
the Attorney General be asked for his
views on the appointive power believ-
ing it within the realm of possibility
that the earlier opinion would be re-
versed, which has proven to be the
case.
1t was made known several days ago
that the commission is prepared to
appoint as chief examiner a man from
the competitive civil service, but
whether he will come from the COM
mission or from some other agency has
not been made known.
When the chief examiner becomes the
principal executive officer he will as
sumo the principal duties of secretary,
and that position, which is now vacant
will be of minor importance.
