Indications are that down.
town retail sales in some stores
went as much as per cent above
last years record and that some
stores in the suburban areas will
chalk up gains of up to % per
cent over last years Christmas
peak.
But the buying spree isn't
over yet.
Still Setting Record.
Philip M. Talbot, chairman
of the large stores group Of the
Merchants and Manufacturers
Association and first vice presi-
dent of Woodward & Lothrop's
said retail stores are now expert
encing the "best post Christmas
week sales in their history"
Mr.. Talbot said three factors
are primarily responsible for the
new high record in Christmas
sales. He listed them as:
1. Better inventory practices
on the part of merchants who did
not sell out of items early in the
season.
2. Ideal weather conditions.
3. A greater feeling of conf
dence in our economy on the part
of area residents.
Report Backs Findings.
Mr.. Talbott's findings were
backed by a Federal Reserve
Bank report indicating a 3 per
cent gain in the dollar volume
of representative stores in the
Washington Metropolitan Area
This report by the bank in the
Fifth Federal Reserve District
covered the four-week period i'm
mediately preceding Christmas
compared with the corresponding
period last year.
The Federal Reserve said
Washington area sales declined
in the week before Christmas
from the very high volume run
up the week ending December 18,
On the other hand, dollar vol
ume for the week before Christ
mas, 1854, was Is per cent above
the volume for the correspond
ing week of 1858.
Area-wise, the bank said, stores
did 8 per cent more business the
month before this Christmas
than they did a year earlier. For
downtown stores as q group, it
said. volume was equal to the
1853 total.
In the big, bustling Silver
Spring shopping center one mer-
chant reported his Christmas
sales went % per cent above last
years mark.
Charles Kopeland. executive
secretary of the Silver Spring
Board of Trade. said preliminary
reports indicate that the average
for the community would be
about 10 per cent above 1853
figures.

.CTC Reports Drop
In Revenue, Mileage
And Passengers

Capital Transit Co. reduced
mileage of both streetcars and
buses to new lows in November.
and the decline in passengers
continued, the company reported
yesterday.
The net income for November
was $62,882, a slight improve
ment from $44, ,445 in the same
1853 month, but net income for
II months Of this year declined
to $735.869 from $820,481 a year
earlier.
The company complained that
in IL months ended November
80. the rate of return earned by
the company on its deprecated
original cost rate base, under the
formula prescribed by the Dis
trict Public Utilities Commission,
amounted to only 3.8 per cent.
Losses Overtake Cuts.
The chief feature of the
monthly report was a loss Of
revenues from the steady de-
cline in passenger revenues, with
which cuts in service could not
keep up
November revenues of $2,137,-
009 were 2.5 per cent below
$2.191. sos in November, 1853,
and II months revenues of
$24.351.3 1929 were 6.5 per cent
below $26,054.483 a year earlier.
November passengers totaled
only 1925. .486. a decrease of
22.1 per cent from 22,118,7l1 in
November, 1858. Passengers in
IL months aggregated 199, ,769,-
$40, a decline of 23.9 per cent
from 262, 1850, ,499 a year earlier,
the company report said.
While officials emphasized
that elimination of the old
weekly pass and q change in
counting passengers tended to
exaggerate the further decline,
they made no attempt to mini
mize the effects of lost patron
age.
Car Mileage Drop.
The company ran its street.
cars 923. $40 miles in November
a drop OF 1876 per cent from the
same 1858 month and in IL
months the total was 1928, ,996
miles, down 81 per cent from
last year. It was the first time in
many years that monthly street
Car mileage was below / million.
Buses ran 1,716,570 miles in
November. q decrease of "a per
cent from a year earlier and IL
month milegae Of 19, ,660,I1I was

ier.
Total November mileage was
2,640,119. a drop of 6.2 per cent
from last years and the IL

Housing Code
Is Returned 10
Drafting Group
District Heads Act
In Attempt to End
Disugreements

The District Commissioners
today sent the city's proposed
housing code back to its orig
inal drafters to try to iron out
disagreements over it.
Commissioner Samuel Spencer,
speaking after a closed session
with more than a dozen citizens
and District officials involved in
perfecting the proposed code,
said District government staff
workers have also been ordered
to review existing regulations
which might conflict with the
proposed code.
He said the eight-man draft
ing committee had been urged
by the Commissioners to apply
the housing code to all types of
dwellings, which would eliminate
the tenement" category n
Washington.
The Commissioners stressed,
Mr.. Spencer said, that the code
should contain no separate pro-
visions for special dwelling clas-
sifications, except in supple
mentary regulations concerning
the licensing and special opera
tions of such things as rooming
houses and convalescent homes.
Engineer Commissioner Thomas
A. Lane said the District staff
officials had been asked to COM
plete their revision of existing
regulations governing rooming
and lodging houses, tenements
and convalescent homes within
about 10 days. This group also
will study the composition of q
proposed review board which
would hear appeals from deci-
sions by housing code inspectors.
Mr.. Spencer said the commits
sioners had urged that the board
be composed of District citizens
and Government officials, and
have the power to grant "vari-
ances" or exceptions from the
code in special cases.
16 Points at Issue.
Mr.. Spencer said the drafting
committee was urged to try to
settle 16 points of disagreement
over the code. and to resubmit
It to the 42-member. Housing
Code Review Committee headed
by Charles B. Dulcan, sr.
If agreement is reached on all
points, he said. he hopes no fur
ther public hearings will be nee
essary on the code. A November
draft of the code was roundly
criticized at a hearing recently
as both too stringent and too
lenient.
Our code should compare
eouitably and favorably with
those in other Cities" Commits
sicner Spencer said.
He said the Commissioners
had discussed with the draft
ing committee a proposed
policy statement approved this
week by the steering group of
the Dulcan committee. 1--WE
told them that we felt it was
desirable" he declared.
Further Discussions Set.
Another policy statement ap-
proved by the steering group
recommending area by area en-
forcement of the code-"requires
further study from several view
points," he said.
Commissioner Spencer said
he and his fellow city fathers
plan to hold further discussions
with the drafting committee.
