Hour Taxi Rate 70 See
Blossoms Hit by PUG

Chairman James H. Flanagan OF
the Public Utilities Commission de-
MED today that all persons wishing
to see the cherry blossoms this week
end from a taxicab will have to pay
the hourly rate instead of the zone
fare.
Published reports Of plan adj
vanced by George E. Bowley, editor
of the Washington Taxi News, had
indicated the $3.50 hourly charge
had been authorized.
Mr.. Flanagan said the PUG has
not changed its rate rules and hence
passengers do not have to pay the
hourly rate for straight zone ride.
However, he recommended com
mon sense on the part of both
drivers and passengers on trips to
the Tidal Basin.
BY this the chairman said he
meant that passengers should not
insist on being taken under zone
rate to spot along the basin If
they know the cab will be tied up
a long time getting away from
there. Similarly, the hacker can
not insist on an hourly rate if there
is no traffic tie-up or the passenger
is willing to get off somewhere along

|S3,z94,3o2 K Street
&yway Work Will
Begin Before June |
By Henry A. Muslin

Work on the K street elevated
highway will begin before June !,
Highway Director H. c. Whitehurst
said today, following announce
ment of the award of q $3,294,392
contract for the job to Alexander
g. Repass of Des Moines, Iowa.
The contract topped the high
way department estimate for the
project by more than $500,000. It
calls for erection of skyway 5000
feet long along the line Of X and
Water streets, between Twenty
seventh street NV. and point
on M street just beyond Key Bridge.
Designed as link in a system OF
rapid highway movement Between
Georgetown and the downtown
area, the dual roadway is expected
to speed committing between Arl-
ington County and Washington. 1t
will take at least a year and q half
to complete.
Cost of the steel and concrete
structure will be split between the
District and the Public Roads Ad-
ministration, under the Federal
postwar highway development pro-
gram. Long-range highway plans
envision a linkup with the proposed
Washington Baltimore freeway on
the other side of the city.
The K street elevated will have a
cloverleaf at each end to permit
traffic to flow into or out Of Rock
Greek and Potomac Parkway, Key
Bridge and M street. The structure,
rising to maximum height Of about
As feet along the Potomac water
front, will dip beneath Key Bridge.
A connection will allow northbound
traffic on the bridge to turn east
onto the skyway at this point.
Only other bidder on the job was
the Charles H. Tompkins Co. of this
city, which offered to do the work
for So SAT, ,764.
