Land Condemnation
lis Avoided by County
|At Bowie Race Track

Bowie Race Track will acquire
land to widen its main access
road without condemnation.
Seven owners of properties ad-
joining the backstretch agreed
yesterday to offers submitted by
track officials through the Prince
Georges commissioners.
The county heads, acting as ar
informal arbitration board, closed
deals for 70-foot strips for each
of the seven holdings fronting on
Jericho Park road.
Larry MacPhail, former base
ball magnate who now directs the
racing plant, said the track will
donate the land to the county
and will widen the 30-foot high
way to 100 feet at its own ex-
lpense. Enlargement of the coun-
ty road is part of the tracks cur
rent $2.5 million improvement
program.

in track offices yesterday settled
Ian issue which became explosive
when Mr.. MacPhail asked fol
lcounty condemnation of the land
All of the seven owners accepted

strips totaling IA acres.
The track will move two houses
from the right-of-way without
cost to the owners and will builc

In addition, Mr.. MacPhail agreed

we're to prevail, a So weekly pass
would be required.
A $2.75 pass would mean an 18-
cent cash fare and three-for-50-
cent tokens.
A $3.50 pass would mean an 18-
cent cash fare and f1ve-for-85-
cent tokens.
A $2.25 pass would mean a 20
cent cash fare and five-for IS.
cent tokens.
Based on Fair Return.
All these figures are predicated
on rs per cent rate of return
which the company contends Is
fair and reasonable.
Mr.. Harvey said that of the four
possibilities, the $2.75 pass with
18-cent cash fare and three tokens
for so cents would be the most
equitable" distribution of an in
crease. The $3.50 and $225
passes. the witness added would
not be equitable to the cash and
token passengers because they
would be bearing a heavier pro.
portionate share of the increase.
Mr.. Harvey indicated that a $500
weekly pass simply would attract
few buyers.
Among the witnesses calling for
retention of the pass were Alfred
A. McGarraghy, who said he re-
presented the 1900 members Of
the Washington Restaurant As
socation. Mr.. McGarraghy said
that pass abolition would have an
adverse effect on the restaurant
business in particular and down.
town trade in general.
Benefit on "Short Hauls."
Edward Parker, a Government
employe of 738 Fifth street NV.
described the pass as a benefit to
people who make short hauls"
on Capital Transit. Mr.. Parker
said that the pass should be re-
tanned even if the price has to be
raised.
In a bitter aside, Mr.. Parker OBJ
served. Il wish we could get en-
ltrepreneurs who would try to do
something beside come in and cry
on your (the P. U. C.'S) shoulder.
THE transit company should try
to attract more customers by low
ering instead of raising fares.
otherwise it is going to price itself
out of business and the Govern
ment will have to take over"
The witness urged exclusive use
Iof the pass on a daily issuance
basis with a cost of 35 cents per
day. He acknowledged that he
finds the principal benefit Of the
pass is that it saves me the
trouble of digging into my pockets
for change and tokens"
Miss Viola S. Schantz, repre-
senting the District Federation Of

llation to increase school children's
