For LimitedU Use
Of Bigger Buses
CopitoI Transit PIeo
FovorobIy' Considered
By Commissioners

The Commissioners today opened
the door for use of larger buses on
some District streets by the Capt.
tai Transit Co.
The city heads denied the COM
pany blanket approval for use of
buses 1Q2 inches wide and 40 feet
long. Present limitation Is Sc
inches wide and IS feet long.
The Commissioners decided, how
ever. to inform Capital Transit
they would give favorable con-
sideration" to the use of bigger
buses on certain routes.
These routes are to comply SUBJ
stantially with criteria to be de-
veloped jointly by Traffic Director
George E. Keneipp and Highway
Director j. H. Robertson.
Endorsed by Robinson.
The Commissioners acted on
recommendation of Engineer Com
missioner Bernard L. Robinson.
Gen. Robinson said he believed
that granting this permission to
Capital Transit would not estab-
nSh a precedent for giving the
same privileges to commercial We
hlcleS generally.
He said also that it was believed
commercial concerns could not
economically restrict larger We
hlcles to specified routes.
The transit company requested
permission to use the larger buses
last August l6. In support of the
application it was pointed out
that an act regulating traffic on
highways, approved by the Ma
tlonal Committee on Uniform
Traffic Laws and Ordinances, pro-
Vldes for this size bus within cor
porate cities and municipalities.
Other State Laws Cited.
1t was pointed out also that
several States now permit buses
wider than So inches and longer
than 40 feet.
Gen. Robinson noted that the
justification stated that the larger
bus would increase passenger ca
paclty, making it possible to re-
ouce the number of vehicles; give
greater passenger comfort and
greater freedom in boarding and
allghtlng, and at least partially
compensate for a shortage of op-
orators.
The application was indorsed
by the Public Utilities Commits
sion.
Gen. Robinson reported that
objections raised by various Off
clals and at least one citizens
association included:
TRAFFIC hazards entailed by
greater width.
Larger turning radius and
longer overhang.
The fact that buses operate in
part over narrow lanes and streets.
Fear CurbS on Parking.
OooASAAASy IIIdG Pal hIIlS WOulQ
have to be prohibited on some
streets.
That the hazards were worst
at the point of greatest conges-
ton, at intersections.
Wider lane widths might be
found necessary, but could not be
obtained except at large expense
and an extensive program of street
widening.
A similar request by Capital
Transit. Gen. Robinson recalled,
was denied in 1948 after a careful
study.
In view of the obvious advan-
tages to the public of wider buses.
the apparent validity of argument
against them and the fact that
larger buses are comparatively
new, Gen. Robinson said he called
for a survey of various cities using
the larger vehicles.
Data received from the study
was far from comprehensive"
Gen. Robinson said. but reports
indicate general approval of the
travelling public. and objections
came from localities where the
buses were used on narrow lanes.

The estate. the summer place of

last year, which would have en-

The owners, Ned Bord, Thorn

buffer strip of property along the

they figured the apartment build

from the offended eyes Of neigh
borS.
Having had that proposal re-
Jected, the owners are returning
with what they call a buffer area
that amounts to about IA acres
surrounding the 3 acres proposed
for rezoning.
According to their attorney

Without Warrant

The validity of an arrest with
out a warrant of man suspected

permitting gambling was upheld
by Municipal Court Judge Andrew

might indulge in poker, dice or
q game called "tonk."

guests was Pvt. Adam l.. Smith

knocked at the door.
