Merrill Protests Delay
In Maryland Hearing
On Glen Echo Bus Line

Postponement from next Tuesday
to March 26 of the public hearing
previously scheduled by the Mary
land Public Service Commission on
the Capital Transit Co.'S applica-
tion for permit to operate a bus
line between Glen Echo, Md. and the
District Line at Westmoreland Circle
by way of Goldsboro road and Mas
sachusetts avenue was protested to-
day by E. D. Merrill, transit COM
pany president, in a letter to the
commission.
Mr.. Merrill said the company was
prepared to start prompt service
which may be required by the COM
mission. The company could do this,
he said even If the commission
found that public necessity required
service to the Cabin John area and
the Navy's David w. Taylor Model
Basin, located west of Cabin John.
Although the company feels, Mr..
Merrill said, that service between
the limits of its present application
is all that now is justified by pros
pective traffic, the company would
undertake to provide the additional
service at the rate of 5 cents cash
for each Maryland zone of about
one and one-half miles. In order
to make the service convenient for
the residents of the suburban areas
involved, the company would ope-
rate the line through to the Forty
ninth street and Massachusetts,
avenue shopping area, contingent
on the approval of the District
Utilities Commission, he said.
The portion of the service into the
District, would be operated for the
regular District fare and with trans
fer privileges to the NJ Massachu-
sets avenue line operating to the
central part of the city and with the
H2 crosstown line operating to Cath
olic University and Bladensburg
road, under the company's proposal.
Free transfer or use of the weekly
pass, Mr.. Merrill pointed out, will
permit use of the Capital Transit
system as a whole within the Dis
trict by passengers riding within the
District and paying the District fare.

BY q Staff Correspondent Of The sior

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 23.-One
piece of legislation that admittedly
has gone through the Virginia Gen.
eral Assembly with few, if any,
members understanding its contents,
was sent to Gov. w. M. Tuck, yester-
day after final House approval. 1t is
a bill by Senator William N. Neff,
Abingdon, that came through the
General Laws Committees of both
branches without amendments
since none could adequately ex-
plain its provision.
The measure is designed to de-
scribe and officially adopt a system
of co-ordinates for designating and
stating the position of points on
the surface of the earth within
Virginia.
Delegate o. E. McCue, Charlottes-
vile, asked Delegate C. G. Quesen-
bury, Waynesboro, to explain the
following language in the measure: !:

ginning of this year.
During the same period, the state
ment revealed, foreign-o owned gold
here increased from $1,916, 900 900 to
So ,937 900, 900, more than doubling.
Also, foreign deposits in American

foreign countries bought more than
81 ,250, 100000 of short-term and
$120 900, 900 in long-term Govern
ment securities.
