Leaders OF the taXlcab INDUS
try, engaged in a legal battle to
restrict the number of cabs in
the District, have offered to help
the Public Utilities Commission
draw UP a plan for a systematic
"jitney service" in the event
public transportation breaks
down. I
E. Erwin Dollar. executive vice
president of the Associated Taxi
cab Operators. Inc. said he has
made this proposal in an infor-
NAL talk with Public Utilities
Commissions Robert M. Weston.
"There's a possibility the Dis
/ trict will be without mass trans
portation when Capital Transit
goes out of business in August, F"
Mr.. Dollar said. "As during last
summers strike, there then
probably would be a move to
have cabs operate on specific
routes.
Want Voice in Plans
Speaking for about 80 per
cent of the industry, I think the
|taxicab operators would be hap
py to co-operate-provided they
were called in to help formulate
the plan"
Mr.. Dollar said he believed a
plan should be worked out for
use at any time emergency rises.
An executive committee of cab
company owners would assist in
the planning any time the COM
mission saw fit, he said.
All the cab companies want
is to be made a part OF the
program planning, and be as
sured fair return for what is
given in the way Of systema-
tized routes, Mr.. Dollar en1pha-
sized.
Mr.. Weston said it would be
premature for the commission
to comment at this time. How
ever, if the time arises, the taxi
cab industry would be called in
on any plans. he said.
Prospect Held Unlikely
District Commissioner Robert
e. Mclaughlin said 1t seemed
unlikely Congress would leave
the District without transpor-
tation when Capital Transit de-
parts. He said it would be more
practical now to spend time
working for legislation to assure
the District with a replacement
! for the expiring company.
The Associated Taxicab Oper-
ators, claiming about 8,400 of
THE some 10000 cabs operating
here, are waging a two-pronged
fight to cut back on the number
of vehicles being offered for hire.

District Court a utilities COM

the commission can act on the
ground there is no public neces-

On Capitol Hill, the associa-
tion hopes to get a rider on the
proposed public authority bill to

authority on this matter. Mr..
Dollar said 5000 cabs would be
adequate for the District if part

tions drivers are operating al

An Aquarium Mon
Casts for Big One
BY JACK JONAS

Lee Duncan was watching a
pair of goldfish in a small tank
behind his desk.
"It would take a minimum
of S3,750,0O0," he said. "But
Washington ought to have a
National Aquarium.
Think of the educational
value-not to mention the
recreational value. There
could be a laboratory avail
able to students and scien-
fists.
And the displays! Sea wa
ter could be brought in very
easily in tanks, and it would
be good for four or five years.
And we could have some salt
water specimens, and some of
the oddities of the marine
world. We have only fresh
water fish here"
He was talking in the Office
of the oldest public aquarium
in the United States-that in
the Commerce Building run
by the Fish and Wildlife Serv-
ice of the Interior Depart
ment. It's in 'the Commerce
Building basement because.
the old Bureau of Fisheries
was in the Commerce Depart
ment, before it became Fish
and Wildlife under Interior.
We've been getting a lot of
calls lately from den mothers
of the Cub Scouts" Mr.. Dun
can went on. They're study
ing something right now along
the lines of The Bottom of
the Sea- This is the closest
they can get to it. Imagine it
the Nations Capital with
out an adequate aquarium"

OUTSIDE, in the big aqua
rum room, group of young
sters chartered h a ppi ! y
around the turtle pool in the
center.
"The turtles are our most
popular exhibit" Mr.. Duncan
said. II guess it's because
they're something most peo-
pie are familiar with. After
that, ! think, come the albino
catfish"
Adults, he said, show con-
siderable interest in the pir-
anha-an innocent looking
little savage from the Amazon
River.
Very sharp teeth" he
added. They'll attack any
thing that moves"
when we got that little
fellow there" another aqua
rum man said, "he was wild.
Thrashed around a lot, and
tore up the vegetation in the
tank. I rolled up my sleeve
and reached inside to clean it
out. He took a bite out of my
knuckle."
Most of the displays are
tropical fish and game fish
including catfish, trout and
bass. There's also the "orfe"-
labeled winston Churchill's
favorite fish,"
1--WE have to be very careful
with the temperature of the
water. There's a different
temperature, for example, for
the tropical fish than for the
northern fish," Mr.. Duncan
said.
And we have to take out of
the water all the stuff the city
puts in to purify it. BY the
time we get through with it,
It's the purest water in Wash
ington."

THE LONG-NOSE gars got
sick when they were put into
the pure water shortly after
they arrived. The attendants
had to fill the tank with
brackish water, and introduce
the pure water gradually over
several months, until the gars
got used to it.
The aquarium-closed to
the public only on Christmas
Day-was set up in 1888 in the
old Fish Commission Building
at Sixth and B streets. The
present one was put in when
the Commerce Building was
built in 1882.
The aquarium doesn't count
its visitors often. One recent
count showed 497 within five
hours.
1--WE get a lot of visitors on
week ends, especially in the
spring and summer" Mr.. Dun
can said. "After Sunday din
ner, people feel like they need
a little exercise, so they come
down to the aquarium.
With a big National Aqua
rum, we'd get a lot more. We
could have uniformed attend
ants, briefed regularly on the
latest developments in the
fish world, to answer the ques-
tions of the public.

an aquarium the city could be

In another action. the coun-
ell turned down a proposed ordi-
nance to require the registra-
tion of door, -to-door solicitors.
The proposed ordinance was
drawn after former Mayor Mar
shall j, Beverley complained that
he was victim of a fraudulent
magazine salesman.
Several organizations which
employ door-to-door statesmen
protested the ordinance, which
would have required statesmen to
get a SIS permit and file a pic
ture with the police department.
Mayor Bendheim said the or
dinance would "penalize repu-

troll one or two disreputable
ones" He said it would require
a permit from insurance men,

those in similar jobs.

 S. S. Mullens was low bidder on the project. Several sub-contract- ing firms will also assist in con struction. Though the contract calls for completion in l40 days, unofficial sources estimate com pletion date some time next spring.
 Floor space in the new building is about so by 72 ft. The building will be constructed 20 feet back from the street. Ample parking space will be provided on three sides of the building. This area will not be paved at present, but Harry Donnelley, partner in the firm of Donnelley & Acheson, who are constructing the building, stated the parking area will un- doubtedly be black topped at future date.
 This modern structure, which will be credit to Kodiak, was de- signed by the architectural firm of Robert Hugh Ross of Seattle.
 The idea of the present struc- ture, which originally was planned as a modest one story building housing only the post office, grew following the award as successful bidder for the post office of Bob Acheson and Harry Donnelley, who realized the great need for Federal Building to house the Third Judicial District Court for their sessions held here sever al times a year. A. series of tele- phone calls and considerable cor respondence resulted in permis- sion being granted them by the General Services Administration to build the additional flcor to house the Federal offices.
 The building, will be leased on a fifteen year basis, with two op- tions of five years each to run concurrently.
