In his first address before a repre-

Praises Trade Board.

Concluding. Mr.. Ilanton praised the
! Washington Board of Trade. and
/ pledged his support wherever he could
! consistently give il.
The board refused 10 adopt the con
Guiding recommendation in the report
of is committee on traffic. which was
as follows:
The Attorney General of tho United
states has ruled that the traffic Iii
rector is not a member of the Police
Department. nor was his appointment
subject To civil service rules. This
committee believes that Congress in,
tended To give the director Of traffic
fun charge Of the making and enforc-
ing of modern traffic regulations for
the District OF Columbia; We. there
fore. believe Congress should he asked
to make the Office OF traffic directo
equal with that Of state motor We
hicle commissioner al a suitable sal
AIRY. and have him subordinate solely
and directly 10 tn" commissioners. and
that an police officials and policemen
detailed to traffic work should he con
trolled by his direct orders and sub
iect thereto. Safety in Washington,

Odoll :. smith. Matthew O'Brien and
several others made strong speeches
opposing any effort to take the Traffic
Bureau from the control of the super
intendent of police. They based their
opposition on the grounds that it
would establish a separate police bu-
rc4u. and that there We're too many
independent bureaus Of the Police De-
partment now. MIR. O'Brien declared
some of the traffic regulations foolish.
The rest Of tn" report. which was
adopted, praised the traffic lights on
Sixteenth street. and urged that no
half way measures be taken, but that
traffic north and south on Sixteenth
street he allowed to run two minutes
and east and west one minute. and the
speed between stops be increased TO
30 miles per hour. Objection was made
to right turns on the green signal, and
il was urged that in safety to pedeS-
trians the turn be made on the yellow
signal. which should flash for 10 to -

Petersburg Organization Protests Many Taxes on
 Infant Fur Industrie:

Seeking the cooperation of other Al aska civic bodies to assist them in the matter of attempting to curtall the present taxation on the fur farm industry, the Petersburg Commercial Club sends the Seward Chamber of Commerce a resolution recently adopt ed by the Petersburg organization, During the discussion which follow ed the reading it was decided to hold the matter over until the next week ly meeting at which time, according to the pleasure of the local members, action will be taken. From the tone of the numerous talks about the table yesterday it was judged the majority of the members were in favor of ap- proving of the resolution.
 In part the instrument states, that each department of the government is striving to place some tax or li- ] cense on the industry, the taxes and | license at present in force being as follows: Territorial fur farm license, Bureau of Biological Survey license government lease, Territorial tax on fur, branding fee, trapping license fishing license, incorporation tax. It is stated that the sum total of taxes and licenses, that each fur farm pays far exceeds the profits in many cases
