The Grave of Traffic Betterment

Ey It's refusal to indorse the main
sections of the bill for increased pow

Board of Commissioners has succeeded
only in adding few more Spadefuls

crave Of traffic betterment in the Ma

Il matters not who the trafhC dl,
rector may be-althouGh the present
director is conceded TO be one of III"
foremost experts in the country The
princfple of divided authority Will
never be effective in traffic regulation.
II is a fallacious theory when applied
- any line Of business. II is, how
ever. evidently the principle the Con-

Washington citizens.
Mr. Eldridce is in 10 position Of q
chief surgeon at d hospital who Is

hoard of trustees, who are ret doc

nurses approve his treatment or pa
ticnts. all well and good. but if the>'
do not and the patients die, he shout
dcrs tho entire blame.
The Commissioners and the nrllce
have approved of some of Mr.. Eldridse' ;
plans. The majority Of these plans
have worked we'll to cure the partiC-
ular traffic disease at which they were
eimed. Others. which were either
tardily approved or slackly carried
out. have complicated the GiiraentS
from which the patients were suffer

the day OF the first game that The
