Mr.. Eldridge empha sized the fact
today that no increa Sc in speed limit
has been authorized on any of these
boulevard streets as vet. He said that
when an increase Ia to be allowed on
certain portions of these highways 1t
will be indicated by unmistaka BILE
signs erected at the beginning and end
yof the stretches In which the higher
speed will be allowed.
The present effect of designating
these streets is to require all vehiculsr
ira ffic to come to a stop before enter
ing or crossing a boulevard.
The painting of the necessary stop
signs at all intersections along these
highways will be carried on as rap
idly q possible.
Mr.. Eldridge said the time that will
apse before higher speed limit is
allowed on these boulevard highways
will depend entirely on how fast the
motorists adapt themselves to the stop
rule. In other words. the increased
speed will not be authorized until
there is full compliance with the stop
rule.
The traffic director and his as
sist ant, Col. Molier, also announced to-
day that they planned to recommend
TO the Commissioners new regula-
ton prohibiting a vehicle from pass
ing another machine going in the
same direction on the Klingle Bridge.
This rule when adopted will require
automobiles to move in single file
across this bridge. where a serious ac-
cident occurred, several weeks ago.

ton to the Commissioners also viii

THRIFTY DISTRICT
GAINS BY GARBAGE
Conversion Into Grease
Brings Profit of $50. .922
Over Cost of Collection.

The garbage cans of Washington
yielded the District government $3.50
049.44 during the last fiscal year by
converting the food scraps into grease
and selling IT, Morris Hacker. super
visor of city refuse. told the Commis-
sioners in his annual report today.
The cost of collecting the garbage
and hauling 1t TO the grease produc-
ton pla mt at Cherry Hill. Va, was
only $3.50, 60, with the result that
garbage disposal was operated by the
city last year at mel profit OF $69 :
922.S4. This showing was made despite
reduction Of 2.I62 tons in the
amount OF garbage collected.
The trash plant was not Is success
full from a financial standpoint. due
to the low value OF dump paper Mr.
Hacker reported. The receipts from
this Dla mt totaled S92 .361.1S, whereas
the cost of collection was $10l ,029.60.
Mr. Hacker told the Commissioners
that even when operated at q slight
loss. this Is 8 cheap method OF disposal
a nd Ia less Objectionable than burning
the waste material on dumps.
Even Ashes Utilized.
"The present plant is now being
operated TO it's full capacity. MI.
Hacker said. and an additional one

the city in the near future
Ashes from the private households
