CITIZENS FLAY
0NE-MANCARS
IN MEETING
By A. J. DRISCOLL
Citizens Associations Editor

Vigorously denouncing street
car service in the District Of Co.
lumbia and assailing the Public
Utilities Commission for its ia.
vorable action on a request of the
Capital Transit Company to in
crease the number Of one-man
street cars to 20, the Federation
of Citizens Associations held its
first meeting of the season Satur
day night in the District Build
ing.
Fight against the one-man
cars and the commissions deci-
sion was led by William Mckay
Clayton, who maintained the
commission had previously erred
in the face of stiff opposition by
every citizens association in the
District.
800 Cars Asked
Mr.. Clayton introduced a reso-
luton, later adopted, asking the
company to purchase at least 800
new cars to replace Anticipated
equipment at a cost he estimated
to be $4,500,000.
In response to a question as to
how the purchase was to be fl
nanced, Clayton said it was a
matter for the North American
Company to decide because Of
their benefits from the recent
merger. Their policy. Clayton said,
evidently was to make the car SER
vice so miserable that people
would want BUSES.
Court Action Looms
A rehearing on one-man cars
is to be asked of the commission.
If the request is refused, court
action is contemplated, with
Peoples Counsel w. A. Roberts re-
queSted to act as counsel.
The federation gave unanimous
Endorsement to a resolution by L.
A. Carruthers, chairman of the
committee on fiscal relations, OPP
posing District officials advocacy
Of new forms of taxation, until re-
ou4Co VI G4lS 41VCoGISdGIOlI VI Vic
fiscal committee, authorized in the
last session of Congress becomes
known.
The resolution pointed out that
the association in the past has op-
posed substituting a weight tax on
automobiles for the personal prop
erty tax, and has rejected an in
crease in the gasoline tax, unless
additional funds are necessary to
carry out the provisions of a long
term highway improvement plan.
