nns:Way Streets to Stand.

Acting upon the petition of the Mert
chants and. Manufacturers Asseeaa-
tion the Commissioners have decided
to retain the one-way streets SINCE
the system was adopted at the time OF
the Shrine convention, it, has worked
to advantage in relieving the conges-
tion in the downtown section Of WASH
inpton. conditions having been greatly
improved in consequence. Despite
some confusion regarding the 4ocar
tions and directions, drivers have
adan,ed themselves to thel ,one-way
practice, and find that it Is to their
advantage. The merchants ARE of the
opinion that at least on some OF the
streets designated for oneway. traffic
the rule works to their material disad-
vantage. But the Copimiss have
taken the broader view of the matter,
the welfare and safety of the whole
community. and have wisely decided
to hold TO the principle
1t may be that experience will prove
il possible to restore certain streets
TO the two-way basis without adding
to the traffic dangers. But any deci-
sion to lessen the number of one way
streets should be most carefully con
siaered. 1t is An the. last degree un-
desirable to change the,street designa-
tions, for, the efficacy of the system
depends uprn the familiarity or the
public with the identity OF these
streets Much confusion has been
caused recently by changes. The sXs-
tenn as it stands now should be kept
intact lorg enough TO enable every
BODY. both those afoot and those
awheeI, to know precisely what to ex-
pect on each of the city's streets.
