The Washington times., 1917-12-21
WORKING LIKE HELL,
BEELER'S ANSWER
IN TRAFF|CINQU|RY

Just tell 'em we're working like
hell" was what John A. Beeler said
today, when asked OF the progress Of
his survey OF washInEton's traffic
problem, after he had visited the ter
minals and street crossings to in
vestiGate conditions as they actually
are.
1T is hard TO say whether the put
ting on OF more cars would. relieve
the congestion during the rush
hours" said A, N. Buck, Mr.. BeeIer's
hrst assistant. Mr.. Buck lived in
Washington for twenty years.
Il do not believe that more cars
during the rush hours would help the
situation" said Mr.. Buck. 'In fact. I
believe they would hinder the service
by making il slower. Cars now run
on Pennsylvania avenue between the
Peace Monument and Fifteenth street
on a hfteen-second' schedule. A
faster schedule than that would hard
ly be practical
"Motormen are not wholly respon-
sible for the fact that the schedules
are not always adhered to. They are
held up by the traffic policemen at
the busy corners. When their sched-
ule Is all shot TO pieces in this WAY
they cannot be blamed for losing in
terest sometimes. firmly believe
that they do the best they can under
the conditions.
This plan OF the Government de-
partments to change their working
hours is the best thing that could
happen"
The Washington times., 1917-12-21
GOVT. BUILDING "
HERE TO CONTINUE
TERM OF YEARS

Although the plan for the building
OF structures to house governmental
activities in Washington, as submitted
TO Congress by the public building
commission, will not be adopted this
session, the possibility exists that II
will eventually be accepted by Con-
gress as a scheme for construction to
be fulfilled in the course of a term
OF years.
In that event, all future Govern
ment building in Washington, outside
of emergency war structures, would
be located and built in accord with a
prearrsnged plan. This would mean
in due time a well-rounded develop
ment Of Government buildings instead
Of a haphazard arrangement.
Senator Martin, chairman OF the
Appropriations Committee, thinks IL
likely the plan will eventually be
adopted by Congress.
That the new temporary structures
which are being rushed to completion
are going TO be maintained for a good
many years is the opinion of some
members OF Congress. They say that
in view Of the demand for funds for
the war and huge expenses I'm many
directions Congress will not soon con-
sent to see these buildings abandoned
and torn down.
