rung down their curtains-will be
handicapped after July 20 when a
ruling of the State Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board goes into
effect providing that no beer or
wine shall be sold or consumed in
Virginia clubs after 2 a. m.
After September Is the dead
line will be moved up and clubs
must discontinue sales and clear
the tables at l a. m. until May Is.
An old custom of ordering a
large supply just before the dead.
line and then sitting through the
night consuming it, will be
stopped by the requirement that
tables be cleared. An earlier rul-
ing by the State A. B. c. Board,
in response to complaints of
Northern Virginia citizens that
jailS were overcrowded with
drunken Washingtonians, ordered
the clubs to stop all sales at 2
a. m, but did not prohibit con-
sumption of any amount pur-
chased before that time.
Penalty fixed by the A. B. C.
Board permitting consumption of
beer and wine after the deadline
is revocation of license. The
2 a. m. closing hour will be eff
fective on all week days, except
that clubs must close at midnight

ground that there was no similar
ity between the operation of street
cars in Pittsburgh and those in
Washington. His objection was
overruled and Mr.. Fitzgerald testi-
fled that he believed the substitu-
ton of one-man cars in Pitts
burgh had saved his company
from bankruptcy.
He said that since the subStitu-
ton the company had won two
first prizes in safety awards and
that there were more safety de-
vices on the washington one-man
cars than on those used in Pitts
burgh. He said:
in my opinion a One-man car
without safety devices is safer
than a tWO-man car"
NOT ENOUGH TO DO
To back up this statement, he
said that there was not enough
for two men to do on a street car.
that the division of responsibility
left room for accidents and that
the morale of a group of one-man
operators was higher than that of
two-man operators.
Peoples Counsel Roberts closely
cross-examined him on the rela-
tons of the types of cars, safety
devices, speed, acceleration and
operation and drew from him the
statement that there had been no
reduction in fares in Pittsburgh
since the substitution of one-man
cars for the other type.

building construction in Prince
Georges County was indicated to-
day by figures compiled in the

values totaled $986,839 this year,
a Jump of $52o,759. The rural Sec
tions showed an increase of $83,33l
since the first of the year.
An unusually high number OF
subdivisions are listed in the as
sessment offices this year. The
total of Is developments now un-
der way constitutes the greatest
number under construction at one
time in the history of the office.
There are now at least 400 sub
divisions listed on the books OF
the county assessor.
Real estate agents gave the url-
usually high rental and purchas-
ing costs of residences in Wash
ington since the advent of the
New Deal Administration, coupled
with the operation of the Home
Owners Loan Corporation in cas-
ing the burden of home building
as the principal causes of the land
