Capital Transit Fights
Plan 10 Delay Decision
On Fares Till January

The Capital Transit Co. attor-
Ineys today were laying plans for
their attack on the suggestion of
the Public Utilities Commission s
chief accountant that a decision
on the company'S request for a
fare increase be postponed until
January.
j. w. Falk. the chief accountant.
advanced this suggestion yester-
day. as he concluded his testimony
in the long drawn-out case. The
PUG will resume the hearing at
10 am. Friday.
Mr.. Falk requested the post
ponement so the PUG can deter
mine whether the number of pas
sengers using buses and streetcars
increases as Mr.. Falk has pre-
|dicted. Earlier he stated that, in
his opinion, the transit company
would earn a fair and reasonable
rate of return during the current
fiscal year, even at present rates.
Sees 3 Per Cent Increase.
The transit company is seeking
elimination of the tokens, now
selling three for 40 cents. and an
increase in the cost of weekly
passes from 50 to $2..25. The
straight 15-cent cash fare would
be retained.
Mr.. Falk said he based his
testimony of adequate returns
under present fares on his esti-
mate of about a 3 per cent in
crease in the number of pas
sengers during the 12- month
period ending June 80, 1852.
On Friday. when the hearings
are resumed. the transit company
attorneys will cross-examine Mr..
Falk on his testimony. Particu-
lar emphasis will be laid on how
he arrived at his estimates of an
increase in passengers, it was in
dicated.
Figures Since August.
Mr.. Falk admitted. when testify
ing. that he based his prediction
only on the period since last Au-
gust. Since then the sale of week.
ly passes showed an increase of
81 per cent over sales in the
corresponding period last year,
and cash and token passengers in
lcreases 3.21 per cent.
Using about a per cent in
crease in the number of passen-
gers. Mr.. Falk said the company
Iearnings in the II months ending
June 80. 1852, would be 6.57 per
cent. He characterized this within
the range Of o reasonable return.
Although the PUG has not set
"a definite rate Of return for the
transit firm, it has indicated that
l71a per cent was fair and at an
other time said 61a per cent was
also reasonable.

Arena

On New License
Hall Now Approved
By District Official
After Yeur's DeIoy

Uline's Arena got in under the
wire for a license today-one day
before the license year expires
after a year-long delay caused
principally by Health Department,
charges of insufficient ventilation
The Commissioners adopted 6
recommendation of the Districr
License Board that the license bt
granted.
The arenas appeal for its pub.
lie hall license, denied by the
superintendent of licenses or
recommendation of the Health De.
partment, was the subject OF 8
long hearing last spring.
Robert D. Wise, former chair.
man of the License Board who
conducted the hearing, told the
Commissioners that since that
time great deal of construction
work had been done by the Uline
management after conferences
with Mrs. Una Rita Morris, pres
ent License Board chairman.
Now Meets Approval.
A final inspection was made
Yesterday and the hall now meets
approval of District officials.
At the hearing. it was brought
out that while permits had been
obtained from the building in
spector's Office for bricking in
some windows, others were closed
without permit. .
Mr.. Wise charged that failure
to discover and report the closing
Of the windows several years age
constituted a derelication of duty
by some District officials.
The board. he said. decided to
give the Uline management q
chance to make adjustments.
Mrs. Morris said that although
at the close of the hearing there
was an estimate that the correc-
tive work would cost between
$4,000 and 100000, she esti-
mated that the actual cost was
less than 10 per cent of that.
Report Not Adopted.
Mrs. Morris was commended by
Commissioner F. Joseph Donohue
for her work on the project.
The Commissioners did moi
adopt or release the full report o1
the license board. since Engineer
Commissioner Bernard L. Robin
son said he had not seen it. He

port critical of city officials with

Sales Boominq
In Rush 10 Beat
New Tax Rise
Liquor Dealers
Soy Activity Tops
Christmas Season

The rush to beat the new ex-.
else taxes on liquor, cigarettes and
other items brought boomtims
business. to many Washington
merchants today.
With the taxes going on Thurs
day. even livelier trading is ex-
pected this evening and tomor-
row..
Liquor dealers in the downtown
area and some larger neighbor-
hood stores were overwhelmed by
the spree.
"The greatest week in all his
tory" painted one, land that in
cludes the Christmas season"
Some stores probably won't get
opened on time Friday, but the
happy dealers may welcome a
breather. anyway.
3S Per Cent Rise Due.
After Thursday the average bot
tie of whisky will cost about 50
cents more. The price rise prob
ably will range between 80 and
80 cents since both wholesaler
and retailer is being permitted a
markup oy Office of Price Stabili-
cation. The tax itself will be 26
cents on fifth 86 proof whisky.
Grog oispensaries expect a lull
after the big rush and aren't sure
what will happen to their normal
Christmas business. They have an
idea that many people buying case
lots today with Christmas in mind
will find temptation too great and
run through the stock before the
holidays.
Cigarettes Also Up.
Cigarette smokers also began
ia run on tobacco counters, many
buying three or four cartons.
Starting Friday cigarettes will
cost 10 cents more a carton.
One large drug concern will lift
prices from 18 cents or two packs
for IS cents to 19 cents or two for
I37. Cartons will cost Sill in the
District, $1.66 in Virginia and
$1.64 in Maryland.
This is the first tobacco tax in
crease since 1943 when Office Of
Price Administration allowed re-
ltailers a half-cent markup over q
half-cent tax increase.
One druggist figured cigarette
sales will pick up from so to IS
cents before the deadline.
Some Tobacco Levies Cut.
The new regulations will allow
manufacturers of pipe and chew
ing tobacco a tax reduction Of
from Is to 10 cents a pound, but
lis doubtful whether this will
create a Nation Of chewers, since
retail prices may remain static.
Automobile sales also were re-
ported up because of the impend-
ing 3 per cent tax increase, but
not so dramatically. Some dealers
reported sales off three or four
weeks ago and now find them
something above normal.
The 3 per cent also will apply
to all factory-installed, optional
accessories. Thus a fancy new car
with all the trimmings may cost
$500 more. More popular models
probably will go up from $40 to $75.
Dealers believe business would
have been more active had the
public been more conscious of the
tax boost.
Pens, Lighters Up.
Mechanical pens. pencils and
lighters will take a IS per cent in
crease, but that fact hasn't
seemed to stimulate sales so
much.
Some electrical appliances also
will cost more. But after April
l. the 10 per cent tax on heating
pans will be dropped.
Couples with babies will get a
break, for the 20 per cent tax on
infants toilet articles is being
eliminated. So what papa loses on
higher liquid refreshment he NAV
get back on baby lotion.
That is. unless he has a car.
For gasoline taxes are going up
