WILLARD PLANS
IMPROVEMENTS.

Half a million dollars is to be
expended in improving the WI
lard Hotel.
A large part of the money will
be used to install individual air
conditioning, permitting guests to
have air conditioning in their
rooms or not, according to their
tastes.
The few rooms in the hotel now
listed as rooms with running
water" will be a thing of the past
as baths are to be installed in
these apartments. The famous
Peacock Alley will be newly
carpeted and FURNISHED. Guests
rooms also will be newly furnished.
The coffee shop, where Max Baer,
former heavyweight boxing cham
pion, found a bride as well as
tasty meals, will be improved.
H. P. Somerville, managing
director, said that while the

in order to compete in service
and appointments with the finest
that the city has to offer in &C.

D. {. TAXI BILLS
UP IN HOUSE
MONDAY
Measures to Reduce
Number of Hacks,
Compel Insurance

Two measures affecting the local
taxicab industry will be brought
before the House for action Mon
day as result of recent activities
of the House District Committee.
One of the bills, giving the Pub
lie Utilities Commission authority
to bring about a gradual reduction
in the number of cabs on the
streets of the city, was approved
by the committee about two weeks
ago and has been on the House
calendar awaiting action since
then.
The other was ordered favorably
reported by the committee yester-
day. 1t would compel the owner
of every cab in the city to carry
accident liability insurance on the
vehicle.
Rate Boost Seen
1t is expected that if the bills
become law, especially the latter,
the zone rates now charged will be
increased. Representative Jack
Nichols CD of Oklahoma, chair
man of the subcommittee which
held hearings on the insurance
bill, expressed this opinion during
the hearings on the measure.
He pointed out that if the cab
owners are compelled to carry the
insurance it is only fair that they
should be allowed to charge more
in order to meet the increased ex-
penditure which will be neceSsi-
tated by the insurance.
The insurance bill provides that
every cab operating in the city
must be insured against $4,000 in
case Of bodily injury to one person
and $4,000 in case of injury to
two persons and $1,000 in case of
property damage.
While most of the representa-
tiveS of local cab associations
either approved the measure prac.
tically as drawn or with amend
mentS which would permit them
to file bonds with the Public Uti-
tiles Commission as a guarantee
of settlement of claims instead of
being insured through regular in.
surance channels, many of the in
dependent taxi drivers protested
that they will be driven out of bust.
ness if the law is passed because
they cannot stand the increased
expense of insurance,
Fight Is Expected
The latter group said that even
if the zone rates were to be boosted
S cents they doubted that they
would make enough additional rev.
enue to pay for the insurance.
It is expected that the potential.
ity Of increased fares if the insur-
ance is made compulsory will lead
many House members to fight the
bill when it comes up on Monday,
which is the next regular District
Day."
Under the cab reduction bill, the
Public Utilities Commission, which
now has no power to refuse to is
sue taxi drivers permits, would
be granted authority. to decline to
grant such permits. NoneNof those
now driving cabs would have that
right taken away, but if a driver
failed to get his permit renewed
that permit would die and no new
permits would be issued.
Thus, the reduction would be
effected gradually until the num-
Der of drivers was reduced to
point where the Commission felt
that it should begin granting new
permits.

MEASURE DUE
TO PASS, IS
BELIEF
Is Promised BY
Opponents Of Plan to
End Economy Clause

The rule providing for special
consideration of the bill to repeal
the married persons" clause of
the economy act was called up in
the House shortly after that body
met today.
After Representative Howard w.
Smith CD Virginia, member OF
the Rules Committee and an adj
vocator of the repeal bill. explained
the provisions of the measure, Rep
resentative J. Will Taylor R)
Tennessee, expressed his opposi.
ton to the proposal on the grounds
that the clause, in his opinion, pre-
vents nepotism in the Government
service.
He was told, however, by Rep
resentative Edith Nourse Rogers
(RO Massachusetts, that the rec.
ordS show the clause has been APP
piled only to those in the lower
salary brackets, while those in the
higher paid groups have been little
affected.
First Order Today
The bill was scheduled to come
before the House Tuesday, but
that body became involved in
debate on another matter and
did not reach the repeal bill.
However, it is the first order
of business for today and Repre-
sentative John j. O'Connor CD
of New York. chairman of the
House Rules Committee, is ready
to call up the rule calling for
special consideration of the re.
peal measure.
Approval Expected
Although opponents of the
measure, under the leadership Of
Representative John j. Cochran
CD of Missouri, author of the
married persons" clause, will
make every effort to defeat the
bill, observers predict the House
will approve repeal.
This is based on the fact that
before the Rules Committee
granted the rule for special con.
sideration of the bill, Administrap
ton chieftainS in the House OF.
dered the House whip, Represen-
tative Pat Boland CD of Penn.
Sylvania, to make a survey of
House members to determine
whether or not the measure would
be approved If allowed to come
before the House.
