TRACTION POLES MOVED
TO MAKE HIGHWAY SAFE

Without waiting for a formal order
from the District Commissioners, the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany yesterday began removing poles on
Bladensburg road, which constitute a
menace to automobile trafic
The Company's officials said that since
general opinion supports the belief that
the pole locations make conditions un-
safe for motorists, they were willing to
relocate them in the interest OF public
safety. The cost will be considerable
and It was felt that the traction COM
pany might question the Jurisdiction Of
the District Commissioners to order the
change.
An emergency permit was granted so
the. work might be undertaken without
delay. c. S. Kimball, engineer Of ways
is experimenting the relocation. The first
changes will be made at Twenty eighth
street, where the tracks cross the Dis
trict line at the scene Of the fatality
early Tuesday.
The Commissioners will arrange for a
conference with company officials at which
other danger points will be designated for
Improvement. Among them is the loca-
ton Of poles in the middle Of the highway
on Connecticut avenue, Of which com
plaint has been made by the Chevy Chase
Citizens Association.
