mittee Of the Washington Board Of

ton with the various citizens associa-
tions. and said that he intended to write

D. c. SK|P-STOP SYSTEM
OPPOSED BY RUDOLPH
Commissioner Believes Time Has
Come to Restore Former
Car Facilities.

The skip-stop system for street cars
should now be done away with. in the
opinion Of Commissioner Rudolph
The Commissioner said he did not
believe the condition that prompted
the establishment Of skip-stops ex-
listed any longer.
The question of car stops is now
In the limelight. since it is to be one
of the first problems taken up by the
new traffic committee to be appointed
by the Commissioners.
Commissioner Oyster voiced the
opinion that the decision as to
whether skip-stops should continue
or be abolished should hinge upon
tho question Of what effect car stops
have. have on the general ,ss atra. movement OF
Engineer-Co Commissioner Keller indi-
Gated that he has some we'll defined
views on tho sktp-stop question. but
he said he did not want to express
them in view Of the fact that the
traffic committee is to study the mat.
William P. Emo, trafic expert, has
accepted tho chairmanship Of the new
committee. The other members prob
ably will be named by tho Commits
sioners within few days.
skip-stops have been in effect on
the street railway lines since the be-
ginning Of the war period, when John
Beeler, transportation expert. was
employed by the Utilities Commission
to solve some Of the difficulties that
the car lines when thou
sands Of war workers were brought
hero by the government.
The advisability Of returning to the
old order Of having cars stop at every
corner was brought to the attention
Of the Commission recently by the
Midcity Citizens Association, which
asked for a hearing.
The new tranic committee also Is
going to tackle the automobile park
ing problem again.
