other officials.

PUG Seeks Opinion
On Baltimore Buses

The District Public Utilities
Commission is seeking an opinion
from the Corporation Counsel as
to whether a Baltimore sight
seeing bus company operating
here must obtain District regis
tration tags for its buses.
The company is Monumental
Motor Tours, Inc, which brings in
many parties coming to its ter
minals from other States, the PUG
reported.
Under the law. sightseeing buses
may obtain free certificates to
bring in school children If the
groups are brought from the State
in which the school is located. In
addition, bus companies are per-
mitted to bring in other groups
under the same conditions for is
days Of the license year.
Monumental. the PUG reported,
used up its Is days on April 16.
1t has applied for % sightseeing
licenses, but the question now is
whether it also must obtain Dis
trict registration tags. This hinges
on what privileges Maryland al
lows in this respect.
In Baltimore, D. Marshall
Schroeder, Maryland registrar of
motor vehicles, said today that
District buses may operate un-
limited trips in that State with
out obtaining registration tags
there, unless the bus company es-
tablishes a headquarters in the
State and stores buses there.
