port as believing his plan. which
would involve about miles of
subway, would permit the bypass
ing of a large percentage Of the
rush-hour operation. His estimate
of cost, including adequate stations,
was $4,000, 900.
Myers Plan Described.
The committee felt this estimate
Of about S4,000,000 a mile would be
ample in comparison with the ex-
perience of New York, Boston and
Philadelphia, particularly since
much Of the route would be under
park area and wide streets and ave-
nues with only two-track subway.
The plan advanced by Col. Myers
was described as contemplating use
of surface cars in two-car trains
underground. He suggested two
short north-south surface car sub
ways on Fourteenth and Seven
teenth streets merging into single
east-west route on E street. The z
street line was to be extended under
the park area in approximate line
of E street south of the White
House to Seventeenth street.
short diagonal branch was to run
west on Pennsylvania avenue from
Seventeenth street. The E street
subway was to have run as far east
as Fifth street NV.
Both of these plans were cody re-
ceived by the Public Utilities Com
mission at the time they were Of
fered, it was pointed out.
Because the Federal Government
is responsible for the congestion Of
people In the downtown area, 1t was
suggested that a large part OF the
cost be borne by the government.
I'm the last analysis" the COM
mittee observed, Congress holds the
key to the solution of the subway
problem"
Without going into the engineering
problems of construction except to
say they were not insurmountable
the report concurs with the most
recent opinion from District oficials
who say the whole question is the
expense and not that it cannot be
done.
Utilities Officials Cool.
In general, the committee observed
the following about subways:
l. They were financed in other
| cities by bond issue and not out Of
operating revenues. Property hold
ers along the lines were assessed
benefits which could be done here.
Use of the walls of the terminals for
advertising would be source Of
revenue.
2. The open cut type Of subway is
adaptable here so that the entire
subway need not be covered.
8. Subways are much more expen-
sive than elevated lines but the latter
are out of the question in Washing
ton.
4. Due to the topography OF
streets and avenues south Of Florida
avenue NV, only low gradients and
curves of long radii would be fe-
quired thus permitting greater speed
S. Subways run from 20 to Is
miles per hour.
Principal objection voiced by the
Public Utilities Commission at the
time these plans were proposed was
that from a financial standpoint, the
subways ought, to be Of considerable
length.

Foes Seen to
New Term
For Lodge
Liquor Board Chief
Up January 3
For Reappointment

Opposition Is already reported
brewing in some quarters to the re-
appointment Of Thomas E. Lodge
as chairman of the District Alco-
holic Beverage Control Board when
his term ends January 3.
At least one member OF Congress
Is known to have written the Com
missioners urging against his re-
appointment, and in one civic quar-
ter opposition to Mr.. Lodge being
continued was acknowledged.
In general terms the complaint
voiced against the Liquor Board
chairman was that he was "incon-
sistent" in his conduct of the liquor
control affairs.
Was Former Civic Leader.
Mr.. Lodge, who succeeded George
Of1ut to the craftsmanship of the
board, however, is said to have a
good deal of civic support from lead
ers with whom he used to work as
former president Of the Federation
Of Citizens Associations and as del
egate to the Federation from the
American University Park Associa-
ton.
At the time of the investigation
Of District liquor administration
two years ago by House subcom-
mittee under Representative Eber-
harter of Pennsylvania, Mr.. Lodge
was subjected to severe criticism be-
fore the investigators. Numerous
civic groups, however, gave him a
vote of confidence.
Explosive hearings before the Eb-
erharter subcommittee and more re-
Gently before q subcommittee under
Representative Schultz, Democrat,
of Indiana on liquor problems in the
Capital were high lights Of his ad-
ministration. The latter probe COW
cred an amendment to the basic
liquor act proposed by the Commis-
sioners to permit standup drinking
at bars and to ban price advertising
Mr.. Lodge took no position on the
standup drinking problem, the pro-
posal adopted by the Commission
ers being a minority report by Will
liam P. Meredith, q board member
Fingerprint Plans Adopted.
The program Of changes in the
liquor control of the city, in many
ways tightening and in others loos-
ening regulations, which has been
put into effect during the past yeaI
was the result Of extensive public
hearings. Discussion of the program
threw the Federation into its bitter
est sessions of the year and required
three meetings to cover action on
all the regulations.
A recent regulation to 60 into ef-
feet under Mr.. Lodges direction Il
that regulating the size Of signs or
the premises Of licensed establish
ments. The ruling cprtails the sign
sines-a position favored by nu-
merous civic leaders.
One other regulation just ap-
proved calls for fingerprinting al
applicants for liquor licenses. 1t II
planned to include in the finger.
printing order applicants for nearly
every type license issued by the Dis
trict.
