Districts Public Transit
Marks Tooth Birthday

In the Civil War year Of
1852. a small group of people
found time to cheer a four
legged, four-wheeled innovation
on rails-the first trolley car
in Washington.
A horse-drawn vehicle on
rails, it was the forerunner OF
the modern electric cars that
disappeared from Washington
streets last January. Even the
company that introduced the
first trolley no longer exists,
but its descendent-D. C. Tran
sits celebrating 100 years of
public transportation this week.
In that century, public trans
portation has completed cycle,
from bus to trolley to bus again.
Shortly before the first trolley,
an ancestral form of the bus
was popular here.
OutIived Usefulness
The trolley's greatest years
were during World War II when
gasoline was rationed and tires
were difficult to buy. But the
streetcar's usefulness began a
gradual decline afterward. FL
nally, in 1856, Congress said
they must go.
D. C. Transit now has a fleet
Of 1,160 buses, including asa
air-conditioned models. They
have come a long way from the
horse-drawn, l2-passenger ON
nibus. Since that vehicle, buses,
too, have not been without
novel ideas.
One example was a double
decked vehicle seen here in the
l920S along Sixteenth street.
1t lost battle with overhahg-
ing tree branches, but that
didn't stop progress.
40 Companies Merged
Its earliest encestor, D. C.
Transit says, was the Washing
ton and Georgetown Railroad
Company However, some 40
other transit companies also
contribute to its lineage.
The history of buying, SELL
ing, and merging Washington
transit companies in the past
century is a long and COM
plicated story. 1t was more
recently written, in 1886, by
the merger of the Capital
Transit Co. and the Washing
ton Rapid Transit Co., bring

After the movie, Priscilla
Gardner, a pretty structural
engineer, said, Il think it's
much more useful and neces-
sary than the general public
thinks" Another structural
engineer, Robert Weiss, said
Its too soon to know how
much we'll learn from the
course, but if it works. 1 will
certainly advise builders and
architects to follow precau-
tionary steps.
II was thinking over every
thing last night. l decided that
if we don't make an effort to
fortify, anything we do on an
international level will lose It's
effect. I think during World
War II when they rebuilt more
strongly in London, the Eng
lish people stood up to the sit

Willing to Learn
Melita Rodeck, born in Italy,
said: Il think families feel
some choice is better than 10
choice. That is why I'm try
ing to learn. I don't feel I can
give them the best advice on
the type of protection unless
I understand all these new
things"
Only one man said he was
unsure of the effectiveness of
such plans. In the past l was
not an advocate Of shelters, but
I'm willing to learn" said John

tions yesterday, but still faces

newly created circuit court
judgeship.

in a poor fourth on the Repub-
lican ballot. however, insuring

tions.

thesda Republican, headed the

yesterday was: Mr.. Shearin,
1902; John P. Moore, 1923;
Stedman Prescott. jr., 11.132;
Mr.. Moormap, 1855, and John
T. Reyes, 1897.

cratic ballot with 11,037, and
