URGED.
inadequate Lighting System
Also Attacked by Board
OF Trade.

Crime and disaster are invited and
bred" by the inadeQuately lighted
streets of Washington, the Board Of
Trade, through It's committee on
streets and avenues, last night as
serted ina communication to Mar
tin B. Madden. chairman Of the
House Appropriations Committee,
advocating q Wholesale review Of the
streets and the lighting system here.

The basis Of the report was built
upon the findings Of some twenty.
live subcomInittees which were ap.
pointed to ankle survey Of every
street and avenue In the city. At
night time the committee members
visited all parts of the city, observ.
ing those streets which were poorly
lighted and which were not well
paved.
Declaring that the budget bureau
allowances were entirely too small,
the committee, through the board,
recommended the use OF the 36,.
100000 surplus In the Treasury TO
bring the streets UP TO the stand
ard which they should meet. The
pruning knife Of the Budget Bureau
has made necessary ''piece meal
patching Of the streets, it was
claimed.
InstallAtion Of arteriai and boule
ward highways was recommended
The communication pointed out that
arterial highways were in use In
many other cities and. the com
mittee said, they had proven their
worth In speeding Yp traffic.
ReSurfacing Advocated.
Resurfacing Of cobble stone
streets h advocated, and the exten.
sion Of numerous roads into Mary
land was suggested as a means oi
relieving congestion on some streets
Among those streets which the
committee recommended be opened
were: Fourteenth street from ite
present terminus to Maryland, via
Walter Reed grounds; New York
avenue to the District line; New
Hampshire avenue to the District
line, and Vermont avenue through
70 Georgetown.
Widening OF smaller streets Is
urged as one means Of lessening
congestion. This could be done
1t was shown, by lessening the
width OF the sidewalks.

Because of the treaty limitations

than ever that the officers be very
carefully and more sincerely select

in them that will rest the future ef-

Seniority system Condemned.
'Of course, seniority system

Displeasure of Disappointed Officers

Secretary Wilbur said today that

except such as might naturally be
expected from some of the ofncers
who had failed of selection and thelf

the discovery of a scheme of ad :
yancement which would not be sub
iected to criticism by those who
failed to benefit by it, according to a
high ranking officer.
The present method of promotion

method of promotions by seniority
alone Under the regulations OF the
Navy Department, naval officers feel
that they are prohibited from public
discussion of naval policies. One of

that methods of promotions always
will be a problem not only in the
military branches of the government
and civil establishments of the gov
ernment. but also in all the private
workshops and factories of the world,
so long as human nature remains un
changed. Another officer admitted
that while certain officers of the Navy
seemed to be preferred in the matter
of advancement and assignment an
investigation undoubtedly would show
in each case that it was due mainly
to individual ability and not to ia
yoritism.
