EXPERIMENTAL
: Scent FARE
. PROPOSED
BY A. J. DRISCOLL,
Citizens Associations Editor

AA1SSSA@NN
Adoption Of a five-cent street
ear and bus fare for a Six-month
Experimental period, with re-
turn Of the 81 weekly pass and
a reduction of one cent a quart
in the retail price Of milk, was
urged by the Federation Of Citi-
zens Associations, in the final
session of the season Saturday
night at the District Building.
Reduction in fares was pro-
posed by William NICK. Clayton,
Chairman of the public utilities
Committee, and was in answer to
q proposal by the Capital Transit
Company to the Public Utilities
Commission for an increase In
the token fare from 4 for 80
cents to 4 for IS cents.
Convinced of Benefits
During debate, Clayton assert
ed his demands were not hos
tile to the company, and that he
was firmly convinced lowering OF
fares would rebound to the com.
pany's benefit by increased pa.
tronage. He cited the increased
travel by rail since the Interstate
Commerce Commission had
placed the two-cent-a-mile plan IN
operation.
A substitute motion by John
F. Hillyard, of Michigan Park,
was voted down. This urged de-
Law until the utilities commission
could obtain a full valuation OF
the traction company, citing In
creased cost Of labor and the
purchase Of new equipment.
Fred s. Walker, Of Park View,
chairman ofJa special committee
appointed to investigate the price
of milk, in recommending a re-
duction of one cent a quart,
found that the producers were
paid 80 cents a gallon Tor
"bassc" milk used in retail trade,
to which he said the distributor
added 26 cents a gallon, thereby
placing the cost to the consumer
at IA cents a quart.
AS one means Of helping to
reduce the cost Of milk, producers
were urged to formulate some plan
to eliminate an enormous waste
caused by consumers indifference
in returning empty milk bottles.
. A minority report was submitted
by Mrs. Harvey w. Wiley, who op-
crates a dairy farm, urging &C
ton be delayed in order that the
farmer might know what effect
coming crops might have on the
production Of milk.
Reports on Liquor Laws
A report from Charles L. Nor
ris, chairman of the committee on
law and legislation, was adopted
urging the Commissioners to re-
frain from taking action on any
changes in the liquor laws until
public notice is given and pub
bic hearing held.
Another report by Norris diSap-
proving a bill now before Con-
gress, which would authorize the
appointment Of q public defender
for INDECENT persons on trial in
District courts, was recommitted
for further study.
The federation gave unanimous
Endorsement to a report by John
M. Schaffer, vice chairman of the
committee on public welfare, ap-
proving legislation raising the age
Of consent for marriage, and a
bill to provide one day Of rest in
seven for workers in the District,
and to improve working conditions
at the District Jail.
The federation adjourned until
the first Saturday night in Octo-
Der.

Should the Chicago Bears, lead
Hr of the Western division of the

In the comparative chart of

ton has totaled 212 yards on run
backs, while Brooklyn has regis.
tered 255. Both teams have
played six games to date.
It is in the total yards gained
that Washington reigns supreme
over the Dodgers. The Redskins
have gained 1905 to 936 for the
Brooklyn eleven. In the matter
of first downs, Washington has
earned total of 81 to As for the
Flatbush outfit.
Washington has also scored al.
most three times the number of
points Brooklyn has. The Red
skins possess total of 81 to %
for Brooklyn.
The New York Giants and the
