Committee on Bridges.

President Droop outlined briefly plans
for new bridges across the Anacostia
river and Rock creek, recited the status
of the movement for Il memorial bridge
across the Potomac and mentioned recon-
mendations Of the War Department for
bridge improvements. In conclusion he
said:
THE committee on bridges concludes
its report with the following recon-
meudations:
That Congress appropriate $4,000 for
the construction of the PENNSYLVANIA
avenue bridge across Rock creek.
THAT Congress appropriate an amount
sufficient to construct a suitable viaduct
over the railroad tracks at Benning road,
which is probably the most dangerous
grade crossing remaining in the District.
That a sufficient amount be appro-
priated to provide for the preliminary
work OF replacing the bridge over kHngie
ford
That $4,000 be appropriated for the
general construction and repair of the
bridges under the supervision of the Dis
trict government fthe increase OF $1,000
over the present appropriation being
needed because Of the increased cost of
materials and in ordAr to replace with
substantial bridges several small wooden

Briefness Is Desired.

That these general traffic regulations
he confined to those absolutely necessary
for all TO know and that they be
as brief and concise AS possible,
as otherwise they will not even be read
There are other special regulations, how
ever, many subject to change, which
should be kept easily available in con-
venent form. and the committee recon-
mends that from time to time required
a little pamphlet containing these be
printed and supplied TO the public on
application at any police station.
This pamphlet should contain all infor-
nation niece ssary III regard to automobile
licenses. registration OF vehicles, laws IN
regard TO speed. lights and sound signals,
and the use of the streets by skaters and
for coastinx, games and professions and
for advertisements and signs on vehicles,
BUILDINGS and vacant lands and public
auctions and all those other things which
are pertinent 10 the use of the streets,
sidewalks, highways and parks which
arc not strictly traffic regulations, but
which are now partially contained in the
Commissioners pamphlet OF traffic regu-

Needs of the Capital
Are Fully Set Forth
by President DrOOp

Before taking up the reports and recon-
mendations of the various committees,
President Droop in his annual report took
occasion to personally thank the members
of the Board of Trade who have contrib
uted literally of their time and thought
in the interest of the organization. lie
made mention of tie members lost by
death since the last annual meeting. lie
called attention to the successful efforts
OF the membership committee and its
chairman, H Clifford Bangs, to increase
the membership of the board Mention
also was made of the annual shadbake
May n and of the defeat of the Chamber
of Commerce base ball team by the Board
of Trade team. Mr. Droop said he was
glad to see the members of the board
take interest in this branch OF athletics
and hoped that more extensive schedule
of games can be arranged for the COM
ing season.

Two Publications Urged.

I'm other words, there should be two
publications, both 10 be had on applica-
ton at any police station-sne a four
page folder with the essentials OF trafiic
regulations in the simplest possible form
for the education of the public and in
which changes will probably not be nee
essary. and the other pamphlet with
whatever Is necessary and in which
changes are likely to occur from time TO
time
The committee makes several recon-
mendations among them being:
THAT signs be placed on the streets a.
follows: Keep near right-hand curb eN-
cept when passing other vehicles The
best colors for these are green ground
with yellow letters. and. being unusual
they could be officially pre-empted for
traffic purposes exclusively
THAT bright and capable member OF
the police force be appointed superin-
tendent of street traffic, under whose or
ders the traffic squad should be placed
that he should also have charge OF the
examination and licensing of drivers. the
registration of vehicles. the keeping OF
records of infractions of regulations and
of accidents 1t would be Well 10 sead him

Executive Committee Work.

Concerning a report made by the ex-
ecutive committee President Droop said.
in part:
Its work has been efficient and con-
scientious in every respect: it has passed
upon a large number of proposed mem
berships, it recommended favorable ac-
ton to your board of directors on the
proposition to raise citizens convention
fund-to be disbursed by citizens con-
vention committee appointed from the
three prominent civic bodies; in conJunc-
ton with the Chamber OF Commerce and
the Retail Merchants Association there
was arranged citizens committee which
brought to successful issue and termna-
ton the dinner given to President Taft
There was proposed and discussed, but
without definite action, that a reception
and dinner should be rendered to Presi-
dent Wilson; this matter Will probably
come before the committee again early In
the next year. The committee took prompt
action for the relief of the western flood
sufferers.

Comparison Is Made,

AS there is no regular order or Sc
auence in the Commissioners regula-
tions, and as it was impracticable TO COM
pare the two sets of regulations without
corresponding sections set opposite to one
another. the committee has arranged
them in the same order and sequence
and under the same heading as those
recommended TO this board. which are
practically the same as the regulations
now in use in New York and Paris.
The report concluded with the follow
ing recommendations made by the COM
mittee, which Were Endorsed by the
board without q dissenting vote:
THAT the regulations be printed on a
four-page folder for distr. button To driv-
ers printed in the police manual for Of
ficers and printed on placards for sta
bles, garages and cab stands, with iron
standards for the placards at cab stands,

Traffic Regulations Up.

Til. only matter considered at the meet
ing other than those provided for by the
rules OF the organization was a report
of a special committee on street traffic
of which LIE Roy Mark is chairman. This
committee was appointed previous to the
PRONUNCIATION OF the present traffic regu-
lations for the purpose of conferrlng with
the Commissioners with a view OF modi-
Tying regulations drafted under their
supervision before their publication and
enforcement. The committee was I'M
able however, to discuss the regulations
with the former board of Commissioners
before they were put into effect.
The length and complexity OF these
present regulations, said Mr. Mark,
defeat the object for which they are in
tended-that is, the education of the pub
lie Therefore, the first step of the COM
mittee has teen to eliminate matter
foreign TO the subject, unnecessary or
definitely detrimental Forty-three en-
tire sections out of the total OF seventy
nine are recommended to be eliminated
This Will reduce the regula tons from
twenty-five pages to six pages, and the
subject will then be adequately covered
