The committee said:
"The Federal service is so
large that personnel adminiStra-
ton must, to q large extent, be
decentralized. Although atten-
ton has been devoted in this
study primarily to the organize
ton and quality of central per-
sonnet administration, some con-
sideratiOn has been given to per
sonnet administration in Operat-

"SOme of. the operating eStab-

Being Too Costly

Washington residents would &C.
cept an increase in street car
and bus fares if the Capital
Transit Company pledged itself
to two-man operation of its We
hicles, william NICK. Clayton,
chairman of the Public Utilities
Commission of the Federation Of
Citizens Associations, declared
today.
Speaking before the Public
Utilities Commission during hear.
ings on the transit company's re-
quest for an increase in token
fare on local street car and BUSES
to four tokens for IS cents, Clay.
ton declared:
"The backbone of opposition
by the citizens to q boost in
street car fares is the policy
of the company of substituting
One-man cars for twO-man Op.
eratiOns."
STAND IS SUPPORTED
Supporting Mr.. Clayton's stand.
Louis I. Obergh, representing
the Federation of Business Mems
Associations, said:
"The same goes for my group.
If the company assured US OF
this kind Of service and improve
mentS in service, we would not
oppose a higher fare"
E. B. Merrill, president of the
Capital Transit Company, stated
that the continuance of a two
man operation policy would cost
the Transit Company more money
than the increase in fares would
produce.
The discussion followed testi.
mony by j. r. Manning, vice .presi.
dent of the Chevy Chase Citizens
Association, who stated that the
local mass transportation agency
would save a considerable sum Of
money if the street cars and buses
were given right OF way over pri.
vate and commercial vehicles.
Police Criticized
The civic leader criticized thu
Police Department for not enforc-
ing the right-of-way privilege OF
street cars and buses, and de-
clared that the speed of street
cars could be advanced from be-
tween 10 and 80 per cent If they
were given the right Of way over
other vehicles.
Manning also indicated that the
double parking of commercial We
hicles was a hindrance to the
Transit Company and that con-
siderable money could be saved il
steps were taken to eliminate
double parking of commercial We
hicleS and guaranteeing street cars
and buses right of way over other
vehicles.
Harry N. Stull, president Of the
Stanton Park Citizens Association,
criticized the Capital Transit Com
pany for not improving its service
appreciate after the merger OF
the former two railway companies.
He said:
"The citizens were made GER
tain promises, including better
service and reduction in fares.
However, there has not been
any material benefit"

ASKSPUBL|CH HALL
Purchase at BarnesVilIe Is
Proposed in New
Measure.

B, STAFF Correspondent of The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, April 3O.-A bill
which would authorize the Montgom-
cry County commissioners to purchase
the Community Hall at Barnesville
for use during elections or for public
meetings was introduced in the Senate
last night.
The Senate earlier in the day passed
q bill to repeal an act of 1875, under
which the community of Washington
Grove was incorporated as camp
meeting.
Early Action Questionable.
Whether either measure will achieve
enactment during the special session
of the State Assembly is questionable
however for the House has adopted
an ironclad resolution prohibiting
the consideration of any but relief
measures.
Senator Stedman Prescott of Mont
gomery County introduced the Barnes
vile bill at the request of residents
VA pilob WIZ Ola Std1S
ago built the structure at their own
expense on a lot donated for that
purpose.
The building cost approximately
$780, exclusive of labor, which was
furnished by the citizens themselves
A debt of $875 is still outstanding, it
was explained, and the residents OF
BarneSvllle are anxious to turn over
the hall to the county in exchange
for cancellation of the obligation
For Voting and Meetings.
1t was said the building would be
used as polling place during cleo
tions and for meeting of agriculture,
groups and other public purposes.
The bill would authorize the COM
missioners to purchase the building
at a price and terms to be decided
by themselves. They would be au-
thorized to levy taxes to cover the
cost.
Senator Prescott also introduced the
Washington Grove bill, believing the
old act to be in conflict with a bill
adopted during the recent genera
session of the Legislature, which woulc
incorporate the community as a full.
dedged municipality.
