Mr.. Keneipp said legal prob
lens might make it difficult to
enforce regulations designed to
keep private automobiles out OF
bus lanes. but he said it might
be advisable to try a voluntary
system" employed in Nashville
Tenn. There are no city regula-
Itions to enforce exclusion of We
hicles other than buses from the
transit lanes. which are marked
buses only" he said.
Another element of the legal
problem, Mr.. Keneipp said, in
wolves taxicabs. He declared it
might be necessary to let cabs
load and unload in those lanes
but not to let them cruise in the
bus lanes. This. he said, would
be up to the Public Utilities Com
mission.
Mr.. Keneipp declared the use
of the bus lanes fought to be
tried if we can find suitable
streets"
In addition, the traffic director
said, it would be necessary to
complete analysis of the speed
of traffic on streets considered
for bus lanes so that it would
be possible to determine after
wards if traffic had been speeded
up or slowed down.
Snow Costs Tackled
He noted that Chicago had
found that the use Of bus-only
lanes in the center of one-way
streets had speeded traffic some
what. He said curb lanes were
tried only in Nashville.
Meanwhile. Morris Fox, first
vice president Of D. c. Transit,
conferred at the District Build
ing on a proposed contract under
which the city would pay for
snow sanding and removal work
done by company equipment.
Participants in the discussion
said no agreement had been
reached and indicated that COM
pany representatives were not
inclined to accept any RESPONSE
bility for removal work.

All you do is take an empty

No specific action is recon-
mended on the Federal aid ques-
ton, but the report urges the
following moves to improve Fed
eral-local tax situations;
/. Release Of large Federal
properties to private ownership
as quickly as they become
surplus.
Abuses Cited
2. Improved administration of
the Soldiers and Sailors Civil
Relief Act so that it is not
abused to prevent localities from
collecting taxes of military per-
sonnet.
8. Legislation to permit local
taxation of commercial activi-
ties carried on by private firms
at Washington National Airport.
Surprisingly. the report does
not call for new and greater
Federal contributions in lieu Of
taxes to compensate for Gov
ernment-owned land. This has
been a frequently voiced sug-
gestion from taxpayers who feel
Federal activity has created an
undue burden on Northern Vir-
ginia.
The report, however, acknowl-
edges that the Government in
Washington has brought North
ern Virginia prosperity as well
as problems and states:
"Unhappily, the case for SUBJ
lstantial additional Federal aid
lis not sufficiently compelling to
hold out much promise that a
majority of the Congress will
soon be moved to dip into the
Federal Treasury to relieve the
fiscal problems of the Northern
Virginia communities"
Problem Is in Operation
The report states that North
ern Virginia's grievance is mot
with the spirit Of Federal pro-
grams and policies; it is rather
with some of their operations
and perhaps with its own failure
to make best use of them"
On the Federal school aid
question. the report says it is
cause for concern" that cur
rent grants to impacted areas
are on a temporary basis.
If a general Federal educa-
ton aid program does become a
reality" the report warns, "the
special program for federally
impacted areas may be curtailed
III not eliminated. Northern
Virginia should reckon with this
possibility. since for Northern
Virginia the amount of Federal
aid under a Nationwide educa-
tional program is likely to be
less generous than that provided
under the present program for
federally impacted areas"
The impact grants are made
under public laws BIS and S75.
During the past two school
years, the report notes that Fed
eral funds have financed more
than one-eighth Of the cost of
school operations in Arlington.
Fairfax, Alexandria and Falls
Church.
S1S Million in U. S. Funds
Since 1858, the same four
communities have received more
than $13 million in Federal
funds for school construction.
In urging release of Federally
owned property to private own
Iership when it isn't needed for
Government purposes. the report
notes that some 1890 acres are
Federally owned in Northern Vir-
ginia.
The report states it would be
practically impossible to calcu-
late the tax value Of these lands
for the sake Of some kind Of Fed
eral payment in lieu Of taxes be-
cause the property's value may
have been increased by Federal
occupation. Therefore. the re-
port recommends that Northern
Virginia concentrate on getting
such land removed from Federal
ownership as rapidly as possible.
