RELIEF IN SLASH
Recommendations of BUDGET
Bureau Would Cut D. C.
Fund to 100000.

Prospects that the District will have
to drop 1000 or more persons from
its already shortened relief list As
the result of Budget Bureau ac-
ton on deficiency appropriation re-
quests confronted District officials
today as an out town expert began
a survey of the National Capital re-
lief needs.
Elwood Street, welfare director.
estimated that at least 600 cases, or
more than 1000 persons, would have
to be dropped unless Congress over
rides Budget Bureau recommenda-
tions on deficiency appropriations
requested by the Commissioners. 1t
was calculated the 100000 relief ap-
preparation for the District for the
fiscal year beginning July l would be
reduced to $600,C00 if these recon-
mendations were adopted.
Meanwhile. Burdette G. Lewis,
economist and statistician of Plain
field. N, j.. started active work in
his investigation for the House and
Senate District Appropriations Sub
committee on the adequacy of Dis
trict relief funds and their admin
istration.
The Budget Bureau proposal for a
5000. 900 slash for the next fiscal year
is involved in a suggestion that the
cost Of the Districts contributions
for District w. p A. projects. the
expenditures for transportation home
Of nonresident indigents and per-
sonnel costs of the District relief ad-
ministration and other deductions be
paid out of the 100000 funds.
District officials were shocked at
the prospects of losing third of the
sum appropriated by Congress for
relief for the next fiscal year and
indicated approval of the Budget Bu-
reau plans would mean a virtual coll
lapse of relief administration. They
previously had protested there would
be real suffering from limitation of

Unnecessary Service to Be
Dropped on Two Lines
in Montgomery.
AGREEMENT REACHED
AFTER 3-DAY BATTLE
Changes Will Have Little or No
Effect on Operations in
Rush Hour Periods.
BY JACK ALLEN.

With the possibility OF increases in
fares postponed for at least four
months. engineers today were to begin
the work Of revising schedules to eff
feet economies in operation of the
Capital Transit Co.'S two bus lines in
the western section of Montgomery
County.
The task is to be undertaken under
an agreement approved yesterday by
the Maryland Public Service Com
mission-an arrangement which called
a halt in the battle over the traction
firms proposal for sharp increases in
its rate structure.
All service along both the Old
Georgetown road and Rockville pike
lines that is deemed unnecessary will
be eliminated in lieu OF the raises
sought by the company The two
lines run between Washington, Be-
thesda. Alta Vista. Rockville. CATH
ersburg and Washington Grove
The compromise was reached by
traction officials and r. E. L. Smith,
counsel tor the Montgomery County
Commissioners and other protestants,
after the latter suggested during q
bearing in Baltimore that the COM
pany curtail service rather than in
crease fares.
Members OF the commission imme-
diately directed the company to pre-
pare new schedules within 10 days
''or as soon thereafter as practicable
and If they are approved the sched-
ules will be installed at once and
tested over a four months expert
mental period to determine public
reaction.
Under the plan all trips that can
be dispensed with will be abolished
on both lines. The changes, however
are expected to have little or no effect
on operations during the early morn
ing and late afternoon rush hour
periods.
In addition. service north of Mont
rose on the Old Georgetown road line
is to be abolished and a transfer sta
ton set up at Montrose
At that point patrons OF Old
Georgetown road buses whose desti-
nations lie north of Montrose may
change to Rockville pike buses and
commuters from points north Of Mont
rose whose destinations lie southwark
along Old Georgetown road may
switch to buses on the latter route.
The company proposed originally,
beside raising fares. to abolish all
service north Of Alta Vista on the Old
Georgetown road line, but 1t was
agreed later it would be unwise to
leave Luxmanor, Lone Oak and other
subdivisions between Alta Vista and
Montrose without any means Of trans
portation
The agreement came after the trac-
ton company and protestants, includ-
ing many representatives Of civic or
ganizations. had battled for nearly
three days over the rate increases and
the proposal to cut of service north
of Alta Vista.
1t was contended by the company
that deficits on the two lines, said to
total approximately $4,000 annually.
justified the changes. Opponents held
economies in opera ton would elimi-
nate the need for them.
