School Bond Issue

A discussion of the proposed bond
issue for Arlington schools in the
light of the reduction in antici-
pated tax revenue will be held by the
County Council of Parents and
Teachers at pm. tomorrow at

Previous discussions have been
based on the assumption that as

board. Last week, however, it was
revealed a clerical error had been
made and the total value will be
$91, 100000.

vited, will be Mrs. Florence Can

An original application for a per-

the Silver Spring railroad station
to permit rail siding to be laid to
a nearby soft drink bottling firm.

able from which service could be

Company Says Break
WouIdn't Have Halted
Natural Gas Service

If District appliances had been
converted to natural gas before last
week ends gas crisis, the needs of
consumers could have been met,
Everett j. Boothby, vice president
and general manager of the Wash
ington Gas Light Co., declared
today.
Mr.. Boothby said story in yes
terday's Star had been incorrect in
assuming conversion to natural gas
might have left virtually all con-
sumers without service.
The story, he said, failed to take
into consideration that if gas ap-
pliances had been converted, the
company would have re-adapted its
East Station to manufacture of gas
which could be used as substitute
for natural gas in emergencies and
also that the natural gas which
would have been stored here has
twice the heating value of the gas
now stored.
Could Meet Demands.
Mr.. Boothby's statement follows:
"The item implied that continuity
Of supply would have been endan-
gered over last week end by the
changeover to natural gas which
the company now contemplates and
for which an application is now
pending before the Public Utilities
Commission. That is not correct.
Had the entire system been con-
verted to natural gas in accordance
with the company's plans as placed
before the PUG, the demands would
have been fully met.
"The article appeared to overlook
plans of the company to re-adapt
its present East Station generating
facilities to produce gas which can
be used as substitute for natural
gas in case of an emergency. These
plans were publicly discussed at
the hearing conducted by the PUG
last December and are matter of
record.
Supply Not Cut OFF.
Moreover, at no time over the
week end was the supply of natural
gas from the pipeline completely
cut off. Not only was some natural
gas supplied to the pipeline this
side of the break, but the company
also had available the natural gas
remaining in the pipeline, known
as 'line pack"
"The smallest daily amount of
natural gas delivered was 10000, 900
cubic feet last Saturday, February
%. If District customers had been
converted to use straight natural
gas prior to that time, the quantity
of natural gas received that day
would have been the same.
This amount, added to the
amount of high heating value gas
that would have been produced in
Washington, would have been suf-
ficient to meet the demands of all
gas customers in the Metropolitan
Washington Area.
"In addition, approximately 49,
100000 cubic feet of natural gas
would have been stored in the COM
pany's gas holders and available as
a reserve supply"

PSC Hears Demand
For Coordination of
Boulevard Bus Lines
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Feb. 25.-Washing-
ton Baltimore boulevard residents
yesterday urged the Public Service
Commission to coordinate the intra-
state bus service of the Greyhound
and Safeway Trails lines.
At the conclusion of the hearing,
the PSC took the case under con-
sideration. No indication was given
as to when it might announce its
decision.
Residents had requested the hear
ing in protest against previous PSC
decision refusing authorization for
Safeway Trails to pick up passengers
along the boulevard.
Louis B. Arnold, Washington at
torney, representing the public, said
the PSC decision was contrary to
the purpose for which the body was
established-to place public con-
venience and necessity ahead of the
welfare of any ont carrier.
He said a co-ordinated service be-
tween the two lines during the war
emergency had produced adequate
service and ample profits for both.
The Greyhound Co. has ignored a
PSC order to improve it's Washing
ton boulevard service, Mr.. Arnold
contended.
He said in the recent snowstorm
passengers had been forced to wait
for hours in subfreezing weather
for Greyhound buses while Safeway
buses we're compelled to pass them.
Philip H. Dorsey, jr., peoples
counsel, said he heartily indorsed'
Mr.. Arnold's statements.
The PSC decision dismissing Safe
ways petition to pick up boulevard
passengers was signed by Charles
B. Bosley. chairman. and Arthur W.
Brice. Thomas E. Jones OF, Prince
Georges County, the third commits
sioner, did not join them. The de-
cision was made last October.
