BUS LINES DENIED
PERMIT REFUNDS
McCarI Rules Against Firms
Which Failed to Operate
Estimated Distance.

Interstate bus lines operating be-
tween the District and terminals in
Maryland and Virginia are not en-
titled to any refund when they pay
a license tax for mileage in excess Of
that on which they actually conduct
business. Controller General McCarl
has advised the District Commis-
SiOnerS
The decision was made public at the
General Accounting Once today. At
the District Building 1t was said it
will prohibit refunds Of approximately
81 900 to about IS companies for the
year ending November /. next.
Under a law enacted July l. 1882,
the bus operators are required to esti-
mate the mileage which they will op-
crate in the operation year. which
runs from November to November and
pay fee of eight-tenths of cent
for each vehicle mile in advance OF
starting operation.
Routes Curtailed.
The concerns which sought refunds
it was explained at the District Build
ing. overeStimated their operations
principally because declining trafic
forced them to reduce the number OF
buSSes they were running. They
thought that under the circumstances
that they were entitled to get q refund
of the excess payment. and were sup
ported by the corporation counsel, but
the District auditor thought the ques-
tion was one for the controller general
to pass upon. and in consequence the
District Commissioners asked for Nc
CarlS views.
No provision is made for refund
ing the Tee or any part thereof in
case a licensee fails to exercise the
right or privilege granted by the
license to the fullest extent" McCarl
said
He pointed out further that in any
case where payment of a fee is re-
quired in advance for the privilege of
carrying ON q certain business
the hcensee buys the light or privi-
lege, When the license is granted
the licenSee has received value in full
for the fee paid. In the absence of
statutory authority to the contrary
the transaction is completed when the
fee is paid and the license granted. "
May Csmplicate Law.
McCarlS decision. it was said at
the Office Of the Public Utilities Com
mission today, may complicate en-
forcement of the law. because. it was
pointed out bus operators knowing
that there was no chance of getting
refund would be inclined TO under
estimate their prospective mileage
and under such circumstances the
commission would be powerleSs to act
inaSmuch as it does not have the
facilities to check on the actual
mileage operated.
