is provided.
Patchwork wasted


A trip over this road by any one in
official authority who would have the
say as to whether funds should be
expended for this purpose would GER
tainly shake the purse strings loose.
1t would be an econmical expenditure.
1t was pointed out, for the use Of road
gangs. for patchwork is Just a waste
Of funds. When a road gets as bad
as Rhode Island avenue is at the
ment to meet the new trafic condi-
tions which it must bear as a feeder
into and out OF Maryland and points
north and east.
The most dangerous condition on
this roadway is caused by the paving
on the railroad right Of way. which
extends two feet on each side of the
outer rails. Under the law the rail-
road Is required to keep this in con-
diticn, and 1t does not require an
appropriation from Congress. Orders
from the Commissioners only are
necessary. While there Is . new con-
crete roadway between the viaduct
and 18th street, the tracks are not
up to grade and the condition pro-
duced is a dangerous one. The space
In between the rails Is poor and full
CT deep ruts.
However. there is great need OF
action on the part Of the District
condition of the edge of the road near
the cutters. At one place just east OF
18th street on the south side Of the
thoroughfare, the macadam has been
pushed up into a mound about eigh-
teen inches high. An automobile
moving along there on a dark night
getting close to the gutter to allow
another car to pass, might easily meet
with an accident The dinerential OF
q low SlunE car could hang on 1T.
Deep Gutter Washed.
East OF South Dakota avenue. where
the street is very rough. and whore
motorists try to avoid the center
thoroukAfare in an effort to pick .
smooth way. a deep gutter has been
washed, making it dangerous for cara
to approach the edge, or an overturn-
Ing accident might be the result.
The necessity Of the automobiles.
particularly in passing. to take to the
tracks makes 1t important that
some attention should be given to

comply with the law governing the
