AB&W LINE SAYS
1T LOST $4,000
DUE TO CTC TIEUP

Officials of the AB&W bus
line, operating between the
District and nearby Virginia,
today estimated the firm lost
$4,000 during the transit
strike although the buses of
that line operated daily
The loss for July was set
at $4,000, and for the first
three weeks of August at
$40, 900. Much Of the loss
came because patrons of the
bus line normally had trans
ferred to or from Capital
Transit Co. buses and street.
cars. .
Officials Of the line said
that their operation would
not return to normal for
some time. They anticipate
a permanent loss of business
because of car pool arrange
ments which developed dur
ing the strike.

District Tax Yield Good
Despite Transit Strike

Minor losses were known to be

Another known loss is the

form Of gasoline taxes.
AS for parking meters, the los:

at $27.642. 1t was $12,150 les:

District budget officers are en-
couraged by revenue receipts fol-
July which apparently belle pre-
dictions that tax payments would
shring as a result Of the transit
strike.
A budget Office spokesman said
receipts for July. though follow
ing a well-established pattern by
dropping below the June level
are above the receipts for July OF
last year. This is due in part to
the tapping Of new tax sources.
Such tax sources as the sales
levy, parking meter fees, gross
receipts and the gasoline tax were
believed to be the principal areas
where the District might lose
revenue as a result Of the strike
Actually we're encouraged BY
the fact that these tax sources
produced more this year than In
the same month last year in mos
cases." the budget Office spokes-
man said.
The big loss to the District
government that is definitely
known is the estimated $3.50, 00(
paid to pilicemen for working or
their days of during the strike.

Some Businesses Coined
In Strike, But Not All

in July and all but the last
Saturday in August.
Were expecting rapid re-
turn to normal operations this
week" he said.
Herbert J. Rich, president Of
the Merchants and Manufae-
turers Association and owner Of
Rich shoe stores here, said spe.
cialty shops had the same exc
|perience as the department
stores.
IF we had closed up on Sat-
|urdays We would have lost up to
|20 per cent in sales In July and
August" he said.
One Of the factors which
helped the speciality shops, he
said, was public acceptance OF
the Downtown Park and Shop
plan begun in May.
"Our demand for parking
tickets in July and August was
way above the May and June
figures, Mr.. Rich said.
Park and shop is co-opera-
tive venture in which merchants
lin the downtown area and along
Connecticut avenue offer patrons
one hour free parking at garages
and parking lots participating in
the plan while the patrons are
shopping.
Restaurants Suffered
A spokesman for the Washing
ton Restaurant Association said
| a slump in downtown restaurant
business is normal during July
and August. 81
But not the kind Of slump
we've had this year." he added.
Many Of our members In the
downtown area report business
l25 per cent below the compa-
rable period last year. Part Of
that is the heat. but at least 20
per cent Of the drop must be q
result Of the strike" he said.
The biggest decline was in the
dinner hour business. This is be-
Ilieved to result from former
patrons joining in car pools and
findino IL necessary tn leave the
downtown area at a fixed time
instead Of being free to dine
downtown and return home at q
later hour.
We're just hoping the change
lin habits won't be a permanent

Washington's department and
speciality stores have emerged
from the seven-week transit
strike with higher gross sales
than they had in the same
period last year.
Key to their success. appar-
emily, was their decision to keep
the stores open on Saturday. or
setting the effects Of mid-week

Their good fortune did not rub
on on operators Of downtown
restaurants who uniformly have
reported their business down be-
