KEECH RENAMED
TOUT|L|T|ES BODY
President Sends Appoint.
ment for Three-Year
Term to Senate.

President Roosevelt today sent to
the Senate the nomination of Rich
mond B. Keech of this city for an
other term of three years as a MEM
Der of the Public Utilities Commission
of the District of Columbia.
Keech's new term will date from
July l, next.
Successor to Patrick.
Keech was appointed member Of
the commission last May to fill out
the unexpired term of Maj. Gen. Ma
son M. Patrick, U. S. A.. retired, who
resigned in October, 1888. The ap-
pointment was on the basis of Keech's
ability rather than politics, as he had
not been active in political affairs.
Prior to his appointment to the
Utilities Commission Keech had
served four years as peoples counsel
and for five years previous to that
had served as an assistant corpora
ton counsel and was trial attorney
for the District at the District Su-
preme Court and the Court of Ap-
peals.
During his service on the commits
sion he has devoted much of his time
to the work of rerouting of the Capt.
tai Transit Co, in cooperation with
Elgen and Sultan and the commission
staff.
Preparing Rates Data.
In recent weeks he has been active
in the preparation of data for the
forthcoming public hearings on the
rates of the Washington and George
town Gas Light Co. Another i'm
portant matter in which he was
active was the move of the commits
sion to require the suburban and To-
cal bus lines to provide off f-street
terminals, as a means of leSsening
traffic congestion. Interstate busses
previously had been required to pro-
vide such terminals. The commissions
decision on the bus terminals in the
present case is expected soon.
Keech is 81 years old. He is one
of the youngest men to serve on the
utilities commission.

HEARINGS TOBECIN
ON ONTAX||NSURANCE.
House District Committee
Subgroups Will Start
Work Tomorrow.

Aroused by the recent attack OF
Justice William HitZ of the District
Court of Appeals on the lack Of La
bility laws governing taxicabs, the
subcommittee on streets and traffic of
the House District Committee will
begin public hearings at 10 am. to-
morrow on the Quinn bill making
taxicab liability insurance compulsory.
A similar bill has been blocked in
the House for several years. 1t was
first introduced at a time when taxi
cab insurance proponents threatened
to wreck the motorists financial re-
sponsibility bill which was recently
enacted into law.
Changes May Be Sought.
Announcement of the hearing also
followed disclosures that Riley E.
Elgen, chairman Of the Public Utilities
Commission. had requested Corpora
ton Counsel E. Barrett Prettyman TO
draft a new taxi insurance bill. 1t is
doubtful, however, that Prettyman will
frame a new bill, but will seek some
changes in the Quinn measure.
The Quinn bill would require all
taxicab operators to file with the Util-
tiles Commission a bond or liability in
surance policy for each motor vehicle
offering protection up to s2,50o for
bodily injuries or death and $500 for
property damage. A limitation OF
SIS 1000 for bodily injuries or death and
$1,000 for property damage would be
placed on all liability for the same
accident.
Rent Hearings to Be Resumed.
The bill also provides that the bonds
or insurance policies would have to be
certified to the Public Utilities Com
mission by the superintendent of in
surance.
simultaneously with the hearings
on the Quinn bill, the Subcommittee
on Fiscal Affairs will resume hearings
on the Ellenbogen bill providing for
the creation of a special commission
to fix and control rentals. One hear
ing already has been held on the Ellen
bogen measure.
