bill for the District of Columbia and
with the Commissioners and the Po-
lice Department. as well as citizens
Vltally interested in the proposed
legislation, a united Washington is
demanding speedy relief from the ad-
mittedly deplorable traffic conditions
which have made themselves mani
fest in the last few months.
The joint committee of Congress.
with Senator L. Heisler Ball. a
staunch friend of the District, at its
head, has held three meetings on the
proposed Senate bill. This bill has
been drawn up after months of in
vestfgation and after hearings at
which practically every traffic expert
in Washington and some from other
cities were heard.
The first two meetings of the com
mittee resulted in the approval of
two important measures, one being
the addition of two judges to the
local Police Court, and the other a
tablishment of arterial highways in
the District.
Although a separate traffic court
was Incorporated in the tentative
bill it was decided in the interests
of economy to make only an addi-
tion to the local courts.

place there.

that there were real questions of
state involved. Rum rows ten

Reports that some of the rum

their governments against the
piracy, and their governments, in
turn, had informed the United
States, could not be confirmed,
but the Coast Guard has stories
of attempts made by rum row
ships to obtain some support from
home against the rum robbers
