M Street Cross Town Bill Faces Amendments In House
Opposition led by ex Senator Jones against use of M street for the Great Falls and Old Dominion Railroad shifts to a single track on WN street between Fifteenth street and New Jersey avenue. A hearing is set next Tuesday morning, with amendments proposed to curb street car fares extend district authority and require vestibuled cars. The committee favors a favorable report on the amended cross town measure and on district corporation reforms including higher filing fees and a 10 percent capital stock payment before incorporation. The bill eliminates a franchise tax and requires annual reports to the assessor, while a minimum $25 fee and 10 percent capital stock aim to curb wild-cat schemes.
