thority to impose more than the
original one-year sentence after re-
voking probation. Justice Jennings

approval Of the Public Utilities Com
mission, it was announced today.
For several months. the Mount

street, east on Pennsylvania avenue,
south on Fifteenth street and then east
on G street. The Mount Pleasant

downtown F street.
This split in the line, through down.
town Washington. was adopted with
completion Of track work at Fifteenth
and G streets on the assumption z
street could not carry all of the traffic.
Would Avoid Confusion.
Company officials now have informed
the commission F street can stand the
traffic and the Thirteenth and d
northeast cars will be shifted back u
F street as a means of avoiding any
confusion as to where Mount Pleasant
cars travel through the congested
section.
The commission and the company
gradually are completing final car
schedules under the final rerouting
plan submitted recently by the COM
pany and on which the commission
will base an order soon. Commission
officials said today this order probably
will be effective November IS.
There Is still uncertainty, however,
as to final transportation plans for
Takoma Park and the sections living
Immediately to the south. The COM
mission said today it had received
suggestions from several groups in
the affected sections proposing estab.
lishment of bus service to replace
street car service on the line uhing
Third and Kennedy streets and tying
in with the Fourteenth street line at
Colorado avenue
Shuttle Bus Proposition.
These suggestions are for abandon
ment of the tracks on Third street and
on Kennedy street from Third to Four
teenth street, and the establishment
OF a shuttle bus from Takoma to
Fourteenth street and Colorado
avenue, where there would be transfers
to the Fourteenth street line, and the
establishment of a regular base day
bus service from Takoma to downtown
Washington via Grant Circle.
The suggestion also proposes con-
tinuation of the Thirteenth street ex-
press bus service from Takoma.
The commission is studying this
suggestion, but no decision has been
reached. 1t was said civic groups are
discussing the proposals in conferences
with oficials Of the company.
