LauderdaIe Predicts
Further CurtaiIment
In Transit Service

Further curtailment in bus and
streetcar service is inevitable in the
next six months unless the man.
power situation improves, James w.
Lauderdale, peoples counsel, told
the Shepherd Park Citizens Asso-
citation last night.
Mr.. Lauderdale added that the
greatest difficulty in providing good
service lies in absenteeism. He
pointed out union operators and
they have the right to choose their
runs The company schedules the
runs determined necessary to serve
particular areas. If there is a suffi-
clent number of men, and some
extra, then all runs can be cared for.
However, If there is not a sufficient
number of men, as at present, these
men choose the most desirable runs
on a seniority basis. When men are
not working there is no one to re-
place them.
Mr.. Lauderdale also said that the
Capital Transit Co. has promised
and expects to furnish the service
the people demand, require and de-
serve when the situation improves.
In regard to the taxi situation,
Mr.. Lauderdale urged the people of
the District to enter any complaints
pertaining to overcharging or re-
fusal to transport passengers. "Onlv
then can we do anything to aid
the situation" he said.
After considerable discussion, the
association voted to request that
liquor licenses be denied to stores
within 600-foot radius of a church
or school, etc. They opposed, how
ever. any move to restrict price
listings in liquor advertising.
The meeting was held at Shepherd
Park School and conducted by
