Without legislat ton there is M

PERMITS
At ONCE, SAYS
ELDR|DGE

Traffic Director NJ. o. Eldridge to-
day threatened to take drastic action
if District motorists continue to
withhold their applications for driv
ing permit renewals.
Only about one-third Of the ex
pected number of renewal applica
tionS have been received.
One method which may be used,
Eldridge said today, is to set an
early date at which time permits OF
certain numbers must be renewed
or become void. For instance, It
might be ruled that after November
30. permits numbered 1 to $4,000
would be void unless they had bee:'
renewed.
This method. Eldridge holds, would
prevent $4,000 or 10000 drivers from
coming into the traffic bureau dur
ing the last few days in December.
An opinion on the legality of this
method will be sought from Corpora
ton Council Francis II. Stephens
within a few days, unless the rate of
renewals takes a sudden jump up
ward.

D, {. RESIDENCE
CLAUSE SAFE,
IS BELIEF

There is little prospect of any
serious move in the next Congress
for the removal of the three-year
residence qualification clause for
Commissioners of the District of
Columbia.
President Coolidge does not be-
lieve the clause serves any useful
purpose, as many residents of
Washington maintain voting resi-
dence elsewhere and thereby are
debarred from appointment to the
Commissionership.
The President has not indicated,
however, any plan of asking Con-
gress to repeal the law, and his
advisers do not believe he will do
so. There would be strong oppo-
sition to such a step not only from
Washington citizens but from Adj
ministration supporters in Con-
gress.
On more than one occasion the
President has turned to the idea
Of appointing such man as Fred
eric A. Delano to the District Com
misSionership-a public spirited
citizen of Independent means who
has lived in Washington for num-
Der Of years and who has no looHl
COnnectlOnSp eltneF Ilnancldt OF pO-
litical, to embarrass him.
The official spokesman for the
White House indicated yesterday
he would like to appoint such
man as successor to Cuno H. Ru
| dolph. declaring that it was diff
cult to find the type of man he
desired among the old.Iine residents
Of Washington. He thinks of Wash
ington as the national Capital. not
as a municipality. and things Com
missioners should envisage it as a
capital.
The Washington times., 1926-10-23
PLANNING BODY
WORK GIVEN
APPROVAL

Problems affecting the physical
growth of the National Capital
probably will be the first Items
considered by the House Appropria-
tions and District committees dur
ing the coming short session, it was
indicated today.
While there is a vast amount of
legislation pending which provides
for changes in the legal code of
the District, and for changes in
methods of administration. members
of the committees feel that, in view
of the tremendously rapid growth
of the city during the past few
years, the physical comfort and
safety of the increasing population
merits first attention.
Three bills having to do with the
development of the city probably
will be placed at the head of the
legislative program of the District
Committee.
They provide for the abolition
of remaining railroad grade cross
ings. for modification of the Bor
land law, which assesses half of the
cost of street paving against ad-
joining property owners, and the
extension of Fourteenth Street
through Walter Reed Hospital
grounds.
Street railway merger legislation
also is likely to find place on the
legislative program later.
Members of the committee are
enthusiastic over the outlook for
future growth and Improvement of
the city with the newly created Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission and the Public Buildings
Commission both working actively.
