reduced by $4,000 by the Commits
sioners and the Bureau of the
Budget.
The first deficiency appropriation
bill carries an item for the extension
of existing traffic lights on Sixteenth
street and on Massachusetts avenue.
but Mr.. Eldridge Is anxious to place
the signals on such thoroughfareS
in the downtown section as F and G
streets, and Pennsylvania avenue

The extension on Sixteenth street
will be from Florida avenue north
ward to Park road. The Massachu-
sets avenue lights will be extended
eastward from Twelfth to Seventh
