The Harris bill to create a taxicab
commission in the District was op-
posed by the Randle Highlands Citi-
zens' Association at meeting last
night on the ground that the added
expense is unnecessary. Members
expressed the belief the Public Util-
tiles Commission adequately handles
problems concerning taxicabs.
Also opposed was the proposed
separate division in the Health De-
partment for tuberculosis and the
issuing of additional liquor licenses.
The group went on record as in
dorsing a new medical center as pro-
posed by Senator Tydings to be built
at Fort Dupont Park Sc.
