PSC Weighs Petition
For Transit Loops in
Maryland Suburbs
BY the Associoted Press

BALTIMORE, Aug. 15.-The Mary
land Public Service Commission held
a one-hour hearing yesterday on a
petition by the Washington Capital
Transit Co. for authority to con-
struct streetcar and bus loops at
College Park and streetcar loop at
Riverdale.
The company presented only two
witnesses, Dean Locke, its staff
engineer, who told the commission
the loops were necessary to provide
modern suburban service in that
area, and E. P. Goucher, construc-
ton engineer, who said work on the
loops could start Immediately" and
would take from six to eight weeks.
The company said it sought
authority to construct the loops to
comply with a previous PSC order
which granted a 30-day trial period
for expanded Washington Mary
land service.
Involved in the hearing were
Route 81, the projected streetcar
line to the proposed streetcar and
bus terminal at College Park, to
permit through service to downtown
Washington, and Route G-S, a bus
line from Greenbelt to the proposed
terminal at College Park.
To establish these lines, the COM
pany contended, it must construct
the loops to permit use of modern
streamlined cars. 1t estimated build
ing expenditures at $4,000.
Mr.. Locke said the Prince Georges
County Commissioners and the
Prince Georges County Civic Fed
Grafton both approved of the project
The sole objector to appear at the
nearing was Frank Greco of BerWyn
who argued placing of the loop ir
College Park would put commuters
north of the incorporated town at a
disadvantage since they would have
to pay double fares-one to get them
to the terminal.
The commission took the matte,
under advisement.

sary noises may not be operated in
the city, the use of amplifiers and
sound trucks is permitted only
through special authorization of the
city manager, and radios, phono-
graphs and musical instruments

City Manager Carl Budwesky re-
ported that in reply to complaints
from residents that the brakes on
new buses operated by the Alex
andria, Bancroft & Washington
Transit Co. are unusually noisy, the
bus company officials have given as
surance that they are endeavorine
to determine some way in which to
curb the sound.
Independent Study Planned.
Mr.. Budwesky was authorized to
make an independent investigation
of the bus noise problem and report
back to the council as to what off,
clal action should be taken. 1t was
pointed out the antinoise ordinance
passed after the discussion of the
buses, is designed to outlaw all
noises that are unusual.

velopment by j. E. Spaulding in

ing from "a" residential to &C."
residential lots on East Bellefonte

traffic light at the intersection of
the Mount Vernon Memorial boule-
ward and Bashford lane, Mr.. Bud
wesky was authorized to appeal to
the Secretary of the Interior.
Use of Own Land Urged.
The council suggested that if the
Interior Department does not give
permission, the city should use its
own land in the Bashford lane
right of way to erect a light. On
cials of the planning commission
have said there is not sufficient
justification in the amount of traffic
coming from Bashford lane to es-
tablish a light.

Two new infantile paralysis cases
were reported by the Health De-
partment today, both from nearby
States, bringing the total number OF
cases in the Metropolitan Area to
46, as compared with IS at this time
last year.
The latest victims are at Walter
Reed Hospital. One is a 24-year-old
Army officer from Chevy Chase, Md
On terminal leave, he was taken Ill
at his home, removed first to the
hospital at Fort Belvoir and later
transferred to Walter Reed. The
other is 17-year -old Army private
from Fort Eustis, Va.
OF the as cases in the Metropoli-
tan Area this year, only four were
from the District, as contrasted to
45 in the city at the same time last
year.
Health Department officials In
sisted that the disease definitely has
not reached epidemic proportions in
either the District nor the Metro
politan Area.
The United States Public Health
Service. however, reported that DO
ilomyelltls had reached epidemic
proportions in the North Central
States and in Texas, Florida, Ala
bama, California and Colorado. Be-
cause of the epidemic incidence in
these States the Public Health
Service said that infantile PARALYSIS
is being reported in epidemic pro-
portions for the country as a
whole
The national total of new cases
for the week ended August 1O-ex-
cept for Rhode Island, Georgia and
New Jersey, which haven't vet re-
ported--was 1,543, a percentage in
crease of 80 over the preceding
week. The 1853 cases reported for
the week ended August 3 was an
increase of 373, or Al per cent over
the week before.
Although the tota1 OF cases to
date is about 1000 more than the
5,008 recorded for the comparable
period in 1914, the second worst
year in history, the service said
this doesn't necessarily mean that
the incidence for the present year
Is going to be higher than 1914"
