idea. The men to whom he was
giving the answers drive an aver

Louis Macklin, Yellow cab

why don't we have blinking
lights on streetcar loading plat

low men and many hands raised

Mr.. Keneipp to repeal his verdict
that it would be too costly and
say it would be looked into.'
In answer to a question by Pre-
mier driver Jack Collins who
claims 'too many drivers straddle
lanes" Mr.. Keneipp said the

and afternoon rush-hour traftlc.
but they were not in favor Of
having to pay IS for blood test
each year when they renewed
their hacking license.
Mr.. Keneipp got written ques-
tions, too. One driver griped on
paper about unsynchronized traf-
fic lights that slowed him down
during rush hours and cut down
his fares.
Mr.. Keneipp explained that
even with synchronized lights,
you're bound to have to stop
sometime. The ideal way. and
what we're trying to do here. is
have the lights change for mo-
torists who maintain a rate of 20
miles per hour"
He explained also the triple
Offset system" in effect on Thir-
teenth and Sixth streets NV
With such system the lights au-
tomatically change in favor of
outbound traffic in the evening
rush hour and inbound traffic in
the morning peak.
There are many requests for in
stallation Of traffic lights at va
riouS intersections. Mr.. Keneipp
said he knew of SO or so himself
but we don't have the money"
Then the traffic director reeled
off a list of changes planned for
the future. One of them. bridge

Official SaysPhoneCo
Dipped Into Surplus
To Pay lis Dividend

The Chesapeake & Potomac
Telephone Co. has. dipped into its
surplus six times since 1888 to pay
dividends to it's parent organiza-
ton, the American Telephone &
Telegraph Co., an official of the
firm testified today before the
Public Utilities Commission.
He was I. G. Rector, assistant
controller of C. & P. which is
seeking a rate increase of about
13 per cent.
Mr. Rector, second witness
called today at resumption OF
PUG hearings on the company s
petition for an additional $3,200,-
900 in annual gross revenues, tes-
titled under cross-examination by
Special Assistant Corporation
Counsel Lloyd B. Harrison that
surplus used in dividend payments
was approximately $631, 900.
General Manager Testifies.
He told the PUG that earnings
fell below dividends in 1888, l941
1912, 1943, 1945 and 1947.
The first witness today. c. H
Johnson. vice president and gen.
eral manager of the company
testified he thought 6.98 per cent
return. such as the company
earned in 1885 through 1889 would
be adequate.
The increase in rates now
sought by cap would produce &
return Of about six per cent. From
April to September this year. the
return on net original cost in
vestment averaged 1896 per cent.
Higher Costs Cited.
At earlier sessions of the cur
rent hearings, company officials
attributed a sharp decline in earn
ings since last year principally to
record construction program to
meet heavy demands for service
and to general wage increases.
Labor expenses now are more
than four times the prewal
amount. C&P contends. and rep
resent more than half the total
operating revenues.
The new rate schedules pro-
posed by C&P include a rate OF
$3.50 a month for individual line
f1ate-rate service-an increase OF
rs cents-and rate of $3.50 fol
two-party line flat-rate residence
service-and increase of so cents
