HUTSFOR
| POLICE IS
NEW. PLAN
Oyster Would Have Traffic Men
Shielded From Storms
of Winter.

Crossing policemen who are ex-
posed to the elements of the
weather have a friend in Commits
sioner James r. Oyster. The Com
missioner said today that he was
going to try and evolve some
means by which they could be pro-
,tected from the weather. The cold
ispell which has held Washington in
ats grip for several days has been
especially. hard on the policemen
who are compelled to stand on the
street crossings and direct traffic.
Considers Guard Huts.
Commissioner Oyster has under con-
-! alteration the erection Of small
movable guard hut. such as Is used by
policemen stationed in the White
House grounds. These huts would
be large enough to hold one man, and
o semaphore could be erected on the
roof OF the hut that could be operated
by the policeman inside.
; Objection has been made to the cree
ton Of these huts because II was said
!. that they would be unsightly. The
' objections have been answered in a
measure, II In said, by saying that
they would not be any more unsightly
than the tubs" which are used at
several busy street crossings in the
downtown section of the city. These
tubs are located at Fourteenth and
F streets, Fourteenth and New York
avenue, and Fifteenth street and New
York avenue. The proposed huts. 1t
, Is said, would not take up any more
ground space than the tubs" and
, would prove beneficial to the health
of the policemen. The tubs" it is
(averred. make the lot of the traffic
policeman harder because he Is elevat-
ed and exposed to the wind more than
he would be II he was standing on
the ground.
Responsible for Vestibules.
Commissioner Oyster several years
AEo was one of the first to advocate
to the street railway companies and
the District officials, that they pro-
ct the moormen Of sree cars from
he weather. 1t was largely through
his efforts that the first vestfbule
cars were put into operation IN
Washington.
Before that time the motormen were
protected from the wind only from the
waist down by the dashboard. and even
the younger generation Of Washington
remembers the old-time motorman,l
I with several coats, a cap that covered
everything but his eyes and heavy
belt around his waist, who used TO
having his arms to increase the blood
circulation every time the car stopped.
Several citizens associations nave
zone on record for some sort OF pro-
lection against the weather for the
traffic policemen. The North Capitoi
and lexington Citizens Association re-
Gently Endorsed a movement to nave
come protection afforded these men,
and William E. Wise. chairman OF the
police and fire committee Of that or
ranization, took the matter up with
the District officials.
