Representatives of the Capital

Marlboro & Annapolis Motor Line
joined yesterday in opposing use of
the Barney Circle Terminal by both

Davis and Fairfax Village.
In an informal hearing by the
Public Utilities Commission, Dean
j. Locke, staff engineer of the tram
sit company, and Leslie L. Altman,
president of the w. M. e. A. line,
both told the commission the use of
the terminal by buses of both lines
would be undesirable" and would
require rearrangement of schedules.
Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer reminded the commission
that at one time the two lines used
the same terminal and that there
was "a great deal of congestion"
On behalf of the citizens who re-
quested the hearing, John E. Steele
OF Fairfax Village urged moving
the w. M. & A. from Water street
to the Capsal Transit terminal at
Barney Circle to lessen the danger
to pedestrians crossing Pennsyl-

that persons frequently miss con-
nections between the two lines be-
cause of the difficulty in crossing
the avenue.
