expressed uncertainty as to when
this can be completed, but said he
hoped that it will be within the
next two weeks.
Many Improvements Promised.
He also said the merger will make
possible many improvements In
service, including the provision OF
transfers between the two lines and,
in many instances, the elimination
of extra fares now charged patrons
who must use both lines to reach
their destinations.

mission. This is in process of COM
pletion, he said.

Delegation Drafting
Montgomery County
Taxi Regulation Bill
sy q stoff Correspondent Of The stor

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 80. The
Montgomery. County delegation to
the General Assembly today was
putting the finishing touches on a
bill which would authorize the
County Commissioners to regulate
taxicabs.
The measure, it was said, will be
similar to that introduced in the
House last week by the Prince
Georges County delegation.
Two other Prince Georges bills
were slated for final passage today
in the House. One would repeal the
Boulevard Heights charter and the
other would increase salaries OF
Circuit Court criers from $3.50 to $5
day,
Bladensburg Bill introduced.
Three bills affecting Montgomery
and Prince Georges Counties were
passed by the House yesterday and
sent to the Senate. At the same
time, the Prince Georges County
group introduced a bill to enlarge
the Baldensburg town boundaries.
Also introduced was Statewide
bill by Dr.. N. B. Steward, Democrat,
of Prince Georges County to pro-
hibit persons practicing osteopathy,
chiropractory. naturopathy and
physiotherapy from commercially
advertising their services. DR.. Stew
ard is a physician.
The Montgomery County bill given
final approval in the House would
increase the Silver Spring library
tax from 2 to 4 cents per 500.
The two Prince Georges bills
passed yesterday would extend the
boundaries of Seat Pleasant and
increase the salaries Of Circuit Court
bailiffs from So to S. a day.
Taxi Complaints Cited.
Anders r. Lofstrand, jr., chairman
of the Montgomery delegation, said
the groups decision to draft the
taxicab bill was made in response
to numerous complaints by county
residents.
At present, Mr.. Lofstrand ex-
planned, any one can get license
from the State to operate taxicab.
AS a result, he added many of the
approximately 200 taxicab operators
in the county "are of undesirable
character"
The delegations bill, he said,
would set up special county bureau
to handle applications for taxicabs
licenses, fix rates and flngerprint
applicants for licenses.
Mr.. Lofstrand also announced the
delegation voted last night to re-
port favorably a bill authorizing
the Chevy Chase View Citizens
Committee to increase the present
10-cent per $100 levy in the area
to a maximum of "a cents.
Bill Clarifies Charter Provisions.
The group also decided to amend
the measure to provide for an elec-
ton April / and to make it effective
Immediately after passage and ap-
proval by the Governor.
The action was taken after
hearing at which two members of
the Citizens Committee indorsed
the bill, which also clarifies pro-
visions of the present Chevy Chase
View charter.
George E. Doying, jr, and DR..
Arnold H. Scott, members of the
Citizens Committee, said the COM
munity voted nearly to in favor
of the change in a referendum last
November.
Two letters of protest we're re-
ceived from Attorneys r. Regis Noel
and M. Walton Hendry, residents of
the community.
They contended the proposed tax
increase would constitute burden
on residents of the area, in view
of a proposal to raise the basic
Montgomery County tax rate from
81. so to 50 per 500.

By Alice Eversmon

Ferruccio Tagliavini made his sec
ond appearance here last night in
Constitution Hall, where during his
recital, he had the assistance Of
Jascha Veissi, violist, on the pro-
gram. The noted tenor, whose
operate debut a year ago at the
Metropolitan made a sensation, had
an enthusiastic audience less large,
however, than that of his initial ap-
pearance in the same auditorium.
In many respects, Mr.. Tagliavini's
voice has grown, acquiring greater
and more uniform sorority. AL
though he continued to use the soft
tones, peculiar to him, at intervals,
even these, that formerly had little
background, were more in keeping
with his forte singing. 1t is an all
around beautiful voice of lyric tim
bre that will, In time, develop more
individuality than it has at present.
The program he gave last night
where songs and arias were mingled
proved definitely that he is at his
best in opera. To judge from the
numbers presented, the appealingly
sweet tone that he can produce so
easily fits into the music and the
text Of the arias without attaining
the sentimental effect 1t does In
songs. He commands also a ringing
quality in the high notes that makes
the climaxes quite thrilling. In the
lovely smooth singing he did ir
"M'appari" from Fotow's Martha
and "Pourquoi me reveiller" from
Massenet's "Werther," the haunting
timbre of his lyric tone and It's float.
ing clarity were exceptional in theil
beauty.
For the most part, the songs were
OF the too familiar order and it Is
evident that the artist has moi
sought for more than a melody anc
a flowing line. Gluck's 20 del mic
dolce ardor," Pergolesi's Tire Gi.
orni," Paisiello's "Chi vuol la zinga-
relR" and Massenet's "Elegie" sup
piled these elements and Mr.. Tag
liavini sang them with finish. But
satisfying as they were, as regards
style, tone coloring and fervor ir

propriate to his talent than the
arias.
Few solo violists have played in
Constitution Hall, so that the ap-
pearance of Mr.. Veissi was some
thing Of a novelty. The dark, rich
tone Of the violin made a splendid
foil for Mr.. Tagliavini's lyric tenor.
He is gifted artist and in Handels
Concerto in B minor" the facile
mastery of bow and tone assisted
in the exposition or a refined and
polished style and fluent finger
agility. Listed later in the program
was a group consisting of Pugnani's
Largo Expressive" "Wisconsonian"
from Milhaud's Suite Quatre Wis.,
ages" Ravel's "Habanera" and Ben
jamin's Jamaican Rhumba." Both
Mr.. Tagliavini and Mr.. Veissi had
expert support given them at the
piano by Ethel Evans.
