PUSH FIGHT
TOEXTEND 14TH ST.
Board of Trade to Campaign
for Opening of Walter
Reed Grounds.
BILL LOST IN SHUTTLE
Measure introduced in House As
signed to Military Affairs Com
mittee and Silence Follows.

A campaign to extend 14th street
through the grounds of Walter Reed
Hospital to the District boundary line
will be waged by the streets and ave-
nues committee of the Washington
Board of Trade George C. Shinn,
chairman of the committee, intro
duced a resolution to this effect at a
meeting of the committee yesterday
and strong efforts are expected to be
made to carry the project through.
A bill for the extension of 14th
street passed the Senate more than
a year ago Instead of being referred
to the House District committee, it
was referred to the House committee
on military affairs. The bill, accord
ing to Mr.. Shinn, has not come to
light since that time and no report
on it has been made to the House.
The committee will seek to have
the bill reassigned to the District
committee or an effort will be made
to have the military committee take
imm ediate action on it.
Would Aid Traffic.
Mr.. Shinn in advocating the ex-
tension of the street pointed out that
the main arteries leading into Mary
land were "all too few" and that with
the addition of 14th street traffic
could be more easily handled.
The chairman and members of the
committee expressed qualification at
the increase in the appropriations bill
for streets and avenues. Mr.. Shinn
said that the committee will continue
it's efforts to impress on members of
the House and Senate the "deplor-
able" condition of the streets in the
National Capital. Tours of inspec-
ton for congressman will begin
again next week, the committee be-
lieving that this method gives the
legislators first-hand knowledge of
the conditions here.
Star Is Lauded.
Edwin S. Arnold, chairman of a
special subcommittee of street light
ing, made a brief report in which he
said that so per cent increase in
the lighting of Washington was an
immediate necessity. He lauded The
Star for it's campaign for better street
lighting and said that such campaigns
were of material benefit 10 the city
Mr.. Arnold's recomm endations will be
included in the report of the COM
mittee.
Roped-off streets, making play
space for children, were advocated
by the committee wherever, in the
Judgment of the police department,
il was found practicable.
