Plan TO COMBAT
SNOW IN STREETS
Officials to Try Double Traffic
Lanes on 18th Street
as Test.

A detailed program designed to pre-
vent Washington from becoming
snowbound this Winter was mapped
out at a conference yesterday after
noon between officials of the District
Government and representatives of
trade and civic organizations and the
transportation companies. The meet
ing was held in the Office of Lieut.
Col. J. Franklin Bell, Engineer Com
missioner.
An experiment in opening traffic
lanes, 1t was announced, will be tried
for the first time on Thirteenth street
between + and l streets, and, if sue
cessful, will be adopted for other
thoroughfares

q Instead of opening one path in the
center of the street two lanes will be
cleared on either side and the snow
piled In the center of the roadway
1t is believed that under this plan the
movement of traffic will be facilitated
and automobiles will be able to park
at the curb without running over piles
of snow and ice and clogging the flow
of water in the cutters.
Motorists are to be urged to avoid
using streets on which there are
car tracks. Automobile traffic, it was
pointed out, packs snow on street
car tracks and underground trolley
slots, stopping street cars, which, in
turn, blockade all traffic
