Georgetown Group
Asks That Flanagan
Be Replaced al Once

President Eisenhower was
asked last night by the Progress
sive Citizens Of Georgetown to
appoint a new District Public
Utilities Commissioner at once
to replace James H. Flanagan.
who will become a vice president
Of the Capital Transit Co.
Mr.. Flanagan made his resig-
nation effective on February %.
But Franklin Pollock, an attor-
ney and a member Of the
Georgetown group. said the Pub
lie Utilities Act Of 1926 forbids
utility commissioners from con-
tracing with any public utility
under its regulation. In view Of
Mr.. Flanagan's interest in the
transit company, Mr.. Pollock
said he has automatically caused
the position to be vacant.
Called Improper.
"It is improper for Mr.. Flana-
gan to spend the rest of the
month as a member Of the COM
mission" the lawyer told the
citizens group.
In another part Of his resolu-
ton Mr.. Pollock asked that the
now-vacant Office Of peoples
counsel in the District be filled
by President Eisenhower.
Mr.. Pollock's resolution was
unanimously adopted by the as
sociation.
Gen. PrentiSS Speaks.
Brig. Gen. Louis w. Prentiss,
District Engineer Commissioner.
deplored the tagging Federal pay
ments to the District over the
years. which he said has resulted
in the city's lacking enough
money for capital investments
and operating expenses.
He said the Commissioners are
trying to get congressional au-
thorization for its $3.50 million
public works program without
changing the tax structure"
Washington should be no
more burdened with taxes than
cities of comparable size," Gen.
Prentiss said.
He called for a tighter Sched-
ule" on the part of the Com
missioners to get the public works
plan approved in this session,
recalling that a similar proposal
made by Commissioner John
Russell Young some years ago
had "withered on the vine" for
lack of concerted action on the
part Of the community.
