Packard business in Washington has
increased to such an extent that the
Luttrell Company have been forced to
enlarge their quarters on New Hamp-
shire avenue. Contractors started yes
terday morning to build two additional
stories to the present structure which
when completed, will give this concern a
four-story building one hundred feet deep
and fifty feet wide.
NJ. T. Pollock left yesterday for Ian
sing. Michigan, on a visit to the Olds
mobile factory. His quest is the same
as every other dealers who goes West
Just at this season, try to secure more
cars, and if that is impossible. exact a
promise from the factory that thev will
grant the desired increase next year.
SOliNdS NduGlt a number
unlucky motorists on the unimproved
stretch of road between Thompkinsville
and Lothair, Maryland, who were en-
route home from Rock Point Work on
repairing this five-mile stretch has been
started and just enough grading done TO
make 1t we'll nigh impossible durine or
Immediately after a heavy rain Every
body lent a hand and finally all got
through.
There seems to be a growing disregard
of that portion of the traffic regulation
which forbids motor cars running nv
street cars that are letting off or takine
on passengers. There are quite a num-
Der who try to stretch the law point
by shooting by the street car lust as
the door opens to discharge passengers
Likewise there are some who will sc-
celebrate their motors to try and get
past street car that is about to take
on passengers. This is dangerous The
pedestrian has every reason to believe
that the motorist will obey the law and
acts accordingly.
Siolators of this provision of the law
should not be let of with a fine A trin
to Occoquan, where they will have nlsntv
OF chance to think things over would he
better. After a few had been given
taste of Washington's enforced summer
resort there is no question but what ali
will be more careful in observing tbs
law
