DESIGNATE CURB
FOR SIGNAL LIGHTS
Commissioners Oppose Traf-
fic Director Eldridge's Plan
for Sixteenth Street.

If the first installation of automatic
traffic signal lights Is made on Six
teenth street they will be erected at
the curb and not in the middle of
the street, Commissioner Rudolph said
today.
Although tho committee which ad-
vised with Traffic Director Eldridge
on the question favored erecting
them in the center of the intersec-
tions, Commissioners Rudolph and
Bell both object to that plan and be-
lieve that If it is definitely decided
to make the tryout on that thorough
fare the pests should be on the curb
line.
Sees Dififiicuities in Way.
Director Eldridge said today that
lights can be placed at the curb BY
having them extend out on an orna'
mental arm. This type OF light would
have four sides, so that the red, green
and yellow signals would be visible
to traffic both on Sixteenth street and
the cross streets.
The fixtures would have to be made
high enough to clear the double-deck
busses operating on Sixteenth street
and also would have to be so arranged
as not TO be obstructed by the trees.
The Commissioners have called for
bids on unit prices of various types OF
fixtures, so that they can be erected
on any street that is ultimately de-
cided on.
MOndeil Expresses Doubt.
Commissioner Rudolph has received
letter from Frank w. Mondell of
the War Finance Corporation urging
that the signal lights be not erected
on Sixteenth street except after the
most careful consideration. After eX-
pressing doubt as to the wisdom OF
placing them on Sixteenth street, Mr..
Mondell wrote:
II have witnessed the growth of
traffic problems in that section of the
city for many years. and for the past
wear I have travelled sixteenth street
with an automobile, generally driving
myself from Park road to Lafayette
Square, two to four times day ana
evening. and frequently at the hours
at L street. where the problem is most
difficult; at Scott Circle and, TO GER
tain extent. at X and II streets, there
is no serious traffic problem on Six.
teenth street. even in the hours OF
greatest traffic, and for more than half

Mr. Mondell urged consideration of
some plan TO diffuse traffic TO Fiji

away Jarvis arose and staggered
across the lane in front of the auto
mobile, which struck him. O'Connor
yelled to Story to stop. he said, but
the driver refused and continued up
the lane, OConnor assisting in the
shifting Of the gears.
Policeman Mccarthy of the ninth
precinct testified that"fe was present
when the statement of O'Connor was
read to Story and that Story re-
marked that 1t was all true except
that he (Story) had not taken the
money and had not driven the car.

homicide and found pint bottle of
corn" whisky and also that he found
another bottle of intoxicant in the
automobile. The bottles of whisky
were introduced in evidence without
