Ten suggestions designed Immediately tc
relieve traffic congestion on the downtown
lines of the Washington Railway and Elec-

utilities commission today by John A Beel-
er in the fifth section of his report dealing
with the local traction situation This is
the first report relative TO their line and
deals with traffic conditions IN the area
bounded by 9th. 18th, F and G streets, on
14th street between G and H streets and on
the lines extending as far west as 18th
street.
The remedies which Mr.. Beeier urges
should be put into effect at once are
similar to those adopted for the relief
Of congestion at 18th street and Penn
svIyania and New York avenues. They
are:
Street cars must be given prece-
dence by the traffic officers and must
be passed over intersecting streets
in pairs so far as possible, especial
" during the hours of congestion
Parking of automobiles must be
limited TO permit freer movement OF
the street cars and to provide great
er safety to the public.
Certain portions of the streets
must be limited to one-way Vehic-
ular traffic
