No Applications Made
Here for Bus Service
To New War Building
Virginia Line Serves
Area Now; Many Pay
Two Fares Euch Way

The Public Utilities Commission
today was understood to be watch
ing with interest developments look
ing toward provision of adequate
transportation service for workers
living in the District who will be
employed in the new War Depart
ment Building in Arlington County,
Va
1t was pointed out at the District
Building that the Utilities Commits
sion as yet has no official concern
in the problem. inaSmuch as no ap-
plication for new service under its
jurisdiction has been presented.
No plans for Capital Transit Co.
bus service to the building are being
made at present. a spokesman Tor
the firm said today.
Virginia bus lines operating into
the District now serve the area, but
the spokesman said it was too early
to state definitely whether the Dis
trict transit company eventually
might have proposal for new serv-
ice to the building.
Workers at the new Federal office
building at Columbia pike and Ar
lington Ridge road, occupied by the
Navy Department. now must spend
a total of 30 cents day to get to
and from work if they live in the
District. Since there is no reclp-
rocal transfer arrangement. they
must pay cents on the Virginia
bus line in addition to the l0-cent
/ fare in the Capital.
The same situation will prevail in
the case of employees shutting be-
tween Washington and the War
Department structure, unless a spe-
cial arrangement is devised.
Plans of the building call for a
large bus terminal. but it has not
been indicated whether Washington
or Virginia buses, or both, will oper-
ate into it.
