Capital Transit 10 Get
D.C.Funds for Takinq
Snow Off Bus Routes

The District Commissioners
have decided to pay the Capital
Transit Co. for work it. did in
clearing and sanding streets on
its bus routes during snow falls
this winter.
A transit company official said
this work costs the company
anywhere from $4,000 to $780,
900 a year, depending on the
severity OF the weather. The
city payment to the transit COM
pany is expected to run between
$4,000 and $4,000 for this win
ter's work.
The transit company's fran
chise requires 1t to keep the
streetcar tracks clear. But, the
franchise doesn't cover bus
routes.
If the city had not signed the
contract with Capital Transit
Co., there was a possibility the
company would have refused to
bear the cost Of keeping the bus
routes open in the future.
Engineer Commissioner Gen.
Louis w. Prentiss, engineer COM
missioner. said he felt the ar
rangement is a fair division of
the responsibility for clearing
the streets between the transit
company and the city. The
agreement signed yesterday is
to be effective only through
April 80.
A transit official said the
company has not presented the
bills to the Commissioners yet.
He said he was unable to say
whether the company would try
to negotiate another contract
to cover next winter after this
one expired.

Palestine Monk Denies
Fighting Against Israe|is
BY the Associated Press

JERUSALEM, Jordan Section,
May 4.-Father Eugene Hoad, a
Franciscan monk widely known
in Palestine, has denied he ever
bore arms against the ISraeliS in
the Palestine war or ever served
as a police inspector in the Holy
Land.
The monk also denied he fed
from his Irish homeland during
the rebellion there a quarter of
a century ago against the Brit
iSh.
These legends were errone-
ously reported by the Associated
Press in Good Friday story.
The monk had been barred from
entering the Jewish sector Of the
city with other pilgrims for q
service.
Father Eugene said he had
been under fire frequently dur
ing the Palestine war but was
only doing rescue work. He be-
came a Franciscan monk in Kill
larney in 1922 and came to Pal
eStine in that capacity. In 1887
he became superior of Gethse-
name and chaplain of the Pales-
tine police force. During the
Irish rebellion, he was once ar
rested in police roundup but
was Immediately released.
