Transit Bid Rejected
On Snow Clearance
District Will Do
Job Itself After
Row Over Price

Lack Of agreement with the
ID. c. Transit system over costs
has led to decision that the
District will take on the snow
clearance work formerly done by
the old Capital Transit Co.
Brig. Gen. Thomas A. Lane,
Engineer Commissioner, said the
District formerly paid Capital
Transit in the neighborhood Of
$4,000 a year for sanding and
Sailing transit routes.
But he said agreement could
not be reached with d. c. Transit
since its proposed prices were
considered to be excessive.
Morris Fox, transit company
vice president, said he did not
agree they were excessive and
that they included other service
besides sanding and sailing.
Neither Gen. Lane nor Mr..
Fox revealed the amount the
transit company had asked.
Capital Transit had is trucks
for use in the snow combat work,
and D. c. Transit now has the
equipment. Agreement was be-
ing sought for continued use of
it in the work.
80 d. c. Sand Trucks
The Engineer Commissioner
said the District will have to
use other equipment. District
forces do all snow blowing, and
the city has 80 sand trucks.
Meanwhile. Gen. Lane sug-
gested a brand new start on the
proposal for reserved bus lanes
here, in quest of a plan which
might benefit the overall down.
town traffic picture.
In effect, he rejected Traffic
Director George E. Keneipp's
Recommendation for a trial Of
the plan on H street between
Massachusetts avenue NV. and
Fourteenth street NE.
Mr.. Keneipp made the sug-
geStion after D. c. Transit had
suggested as part of a nine
point program to speed service
and cut costs that special transit
lanes be designated on nine
streets.
o. Roy Chalk, transit COM
pany president, said he did not
consider the H street route
suitable for an initial test.
Calls for New Proposal
Gen. Lane took the position
that, if the company did not be-
lieve it would work, he saw no
point in trying to force the ex-
pertinent there. He asked Mr..
Keneipp to continue meeting
with the transit officials and
with Public Utilities Commission
officials in an effort to work out
something with a maximum
chance of success"
The Engineer Commissioner
said he had in mind something
that would benefit not only
transit. but the city as a whole.
After traffic analyses and
other study, he noted. it may be
found that streets not now used
by buses can be drawn into such
a plan. In addition. he said, the
transit system should be able to
make maximum use of any right
Of way granted.
plans should include exami-
nation of possible one-way street
systems and the rerouting of
buses" he said. "If a served
lane system of circulation in the
downtown area is worked out for
buses. the buses should make
high intensity use Of the re-
served lane and thereby reduce
the conflicts Of bus and automo-
bile traffic on other streets"

Restoration of Georgetown's
Old Stone House has turned into
something of a detective story
for experts. with an archeologist
the latest to join the sleuths.
The National Park Service
owner of the structure at 3051 NJ
street NV. by Congressional
authorization in 1850, will adj
the services of an archaeological
expert in January in its efforts
to find out just what the stone
building has housed over its long
history.
And judging from what resto-
ration work so far has turned up
under the floors of the building
the excavations could provide
some missing links in what al
ready has been pieced together.
Spot-digging through six OF
seven levels of flooring in the
basement already has unearthed
quite a collection of old bottles
china. two coins and even some
unidentified bones. With the
services Of an archeologist, Ma
ltional Capital Parks, in charge
Of the restoration work. will
begin a systematic combing OF
the basement area in hopes OF
turning up more items and dat
ing them according to their
depth and location between
levels of the floor.
