There are various ways of doing this. possibly the easiest is to draw check, but if that is not convenient it is very interesting to make the money in any way that ap- peals to you.

SENATE TRAFFIC.
HEARING IS
NEAR END
Motorcycle Policeman Tells
Committee Rules Alright,
But Cops Too Few.

The Senate investigation into traf-
fic conditions in the District Of Co
lumbia virtually ended today with
sheaf Of testimony from local
citizens.
A vivid picture of the life of a
motorcycle policaman was given the
committee by Private M. D. Smith,
of the Metropolitan police. He de-
clared Washington has as good a
set of traffic regulations as any
city in the country, hut the police
force Is too small to enforce them.
Smith advocated a one-hour park
ing rule In congested sections, rigid
ly enforced: the extension Of the
one-way street principle; a speed
limit of twenty miles an hour In
the downtown sections, and twenty
five miles an hour in the outlying
sections.
Urges Annual Permit.
He also advocated an annual per.
NIT system for all So automobile
drivers. A fee Of 81 annually for
driving a car, he said, would add
| $75, 900 to the revenues of the traffic
bureau and would help considerably.
He also advocated q traffic court
and a license registration law, or
an impounding law, which would
permit the proper enforcement of
parking regulations. He made q
! plea to the committee not only to
Increase the number of traffic police
men in Washington, but also to
increase their salaries.
A. J. Driscoll, of the Mid-City
| Citizens Association, advocated
greater cooperation between the
traffic police and the citizens. He
said the present regulations are all
right if properly enforced.
Asks "StOp" Sign ON Cars.
Capt. J. w. Miller told the com
mittee of the dangers involved in
street-ca stops under the present
| system. and said that street cars
should be equipped with a stop
sign, which would give the automo
bilist warning Of the intention oil
the motorman.
E. w. Hobbs. of the National
Safety News, outlined a new sys
tenn of regulating pedestrian traffic
at street crossings.
J A delegation from the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association will
appear before the committee durine
the afternoon. 1t is expected II
will oppose the present one-waJ
street system.

NOT YET
OVER
Commissioner Oyster An
nounces He Will Continue
to Work for Plan.

Commissioner James F. Oyster
today announced that even
though the District Commission
ers had decided against recon-
mending a bond issue to Con-
gress at this time that he would
continue his fight for this finance
plan.
II want to make it clear that
/ believe the bond issue is the
only practical way of making the
necessary permanent improve
ments in Washington Commits
sioner Oyster said.
Will Continue Fight.
THE Commissioners have decided
not to take any action at this time.
The majority shall rule and al.
though will abide by their de-
cision, nevertheless I intend to con-
tinue my fight for the bond issue"
Commissioner Oyster wanted 1t
made plain that there was no fric-
ton. among the members of the
board.
I'VE are working in cooperation, s"
he said, II believe In the bond issue
and want it. However, il it comes
to a show down and / am out-voted
l do not intend to enter a protest
nor file a minority report"
The Commissioner said he was
confident that Congress would ap'
prove of this money-raising plan.
To Raise Question Again.
Commissioners Oyster will un
| doubtedly bring up the bond issue
He is holding on to considerable
data regarding bond issues which
he had gathered from some twenty
cities throughout the country.
An official announcement by the
Commissioners that consideration OF
the bond issue has temporarily ceen
set aside will be made in a day or
| two.
This announcement ell point out
| that the Commissioners believe that
the public is luke warm on the
proposition. that agitation at this
time might endanger The $5,O00,0OC
| surplus revenues which the District
is seeking. They will also say that
their former decision to send a bond
issue plan to Congress was changed
partly because of the liberality the
| Budget Bureau showed to he Dis
trict recently.

be ignored by any executive
agency"

ZON|NG CHANGE
ASKED FOR
TRACT
Owners of Patterson Land
Would Use It for Indus
trial Purposes.

Patterson tract, near Fifth and
Florida avenue northeast, may be
changed to an Industrial district,
thus eliminating it from the city
wide park plan in which 1t has
been included for several decades.
The Zoning Commission tomorrow
will hold a public hearing in the
District building to consider the
application of the owners Of the
tract to change the land from q
residential to an industrial district
If this application is approved
warehouses will probably be erected
on the property.
Owners Want Action.
The owners, it is said today, art
tired Of dilly-dallying about thu
property. They express doubt thai
the Government will ever buy th'
property for park purposes and arr
frank to say they are giving VI
hope.
The owners also declare thai
since the agitation for the purchase
of the tract to be turned into
park, they have paid 100000 ii
taxes.
Small Portion Affected.
There is a small portion OF the
vast tract now included in the ap
plication for change. However, thu
proposed change, District Officials
said today, would undoubtedly make
the tract unsuitable for park pr
poses
Patterson tract is included in {
general scheme for an around TIT
city drive. During the war, thu
Government used the property anC
it was known as Camp Meigs.
