ice Urged 10 Order
Cash Fare
On Pentagon Buses

Two Virginia bus lines today re-
quested the Interstate Commerce
Commission to abolish the sale of
tokens and special tickets and order
a straight 10-cent fare between
Washington and the Pentagon
Building and other nearby Govern
ment installations in Virginia.
Counsel for the Alexandra, Bar
croft & Washington Transit CO..
and the Washington, Virginia &
Maryland Coach Co. argued their
case before the full commission.
Present arrangements allow for a
10-cent one-way cash fare on the
Virginia lines; tokens selling for
three for Is cents, also exclusively
on the Virginia lines, and a. joint
fare with the Capital Transit Co.,
with tickets selling II for $l.S0. The
last arrangement. which averages
1873 cents a trip, permits passengers
to transfer from the Washington
line to the Virginia companies.
Cites Fare Division.
S. Harrison Kahn, representing
A. B. g. w., noted that the Capital
Transit had insisted on division OF
the Joint fares that would give the
washington company 10 cents of the
13h-cent ticket. 1T is financially
impossible for A. B. G w. to operate
at 3h cents under this arrange
ment," Mr.. Kahn declared.
He added that If the commission
felt that the joint fare must remain
in force, then the 1CC should rule
that his client receive 10 cents OF
the 1873 cent fare.
j. Ninian Beall, representing the
second Virginia bus line, informed
the commission that the companys S
indebtedness, as a result of increased
operating costs, coupled with drop
in postwar revenues, amounted to
$l50,0o e
Speaks for Current System.
F. w. Denniston, representing the
Secretaries of Army and An, argued
for continuation of the present
fares, but took no stand on the
question of division Of joint fares
between Capital Transit and A. B
& w.
Lloyd B. Harrison of the Public
Utilities Commission argued that
the ICC had lost its jurisdiction in
the setting of any fares charged by
Capital Transit because there was
no longer any national emergency
and also because Capital Transit
does not operate buses to the
Pentagon. He added that the Dis
trict Commissioners were not con-
cerned with the division in the
fares.
There was no indication as to
when the commission would act on
the petition.

The Commissioners could stipufate
in such leases that the lessee should
erect at his own expense park
ing garages. A fair return would
be allowable on such a structure
