ton of Traffic Director for. the
District Of Columbia has felt the
hand of Director M. o. Eldridge,
according to friends Of Sergt.
Buell. Stanley, who has been de-
tailed from the traffic bureau to
the Twelfth precinct.
Sergeant Stanley, who has been
on the police force nearly sixteen
years, always with the traffic
bureau, is considered one Of the
best traffic officers in the city,
lit is claimed.
Friends Intercede In Vain
Members of Congress and promi-
nent business men Of the city have
interceded in behalf OF Sergeant
Stanley with the Commissioner and
high police officials, but without
avail.
The reason Officially" given for
the transfer of Sergeant Stanley
was that he did not ride a motor
cycle, and that 1t was the policy OF
the Traffic Bureau to have all the
traffic sergeants mounted. Ser
geant Stanley said today that he
had been requested to take lessons
on the motorcycle and that he had
been pronounced pretty good" by
the policeman detailed as an Ia
structor when he received orders
to go to the Twelfth precinct for
duty.
Representative Moore OF Virginia
and Col. Robert N. Harper. presi-
dent of the District National Bank,
called on Commissioner Fenning to.
day to ask that Sergeant Stanley
be restored to duty in the Traffic
Bureau. but they were given no en-.
couragement, it was said.

merly a Shakespearian actor, was
appointed to the force July Is, 1910.

TUESDAY

.'The automatic control traffic
lights on Sixteenth street between
H street and Florida avenue viii
positively be turned on tomorrow
afternoon at 2 o'clock" Col. I. G.
Moller, assistant director Of traf-
fic, declared today.
The postponement until tonnor-
row was due to regulation, noted
by Warren, B. Hadley, District
electrical engineer, which pro-
hibits a switch being turned on
without protecting box around it.

inspected the installation Sunday
morning and made experimental
runs on Sixteenth Street.
According TO Colonel Moller the
run from Fl Street to Florida

three stops under the system which
is to be adopted primarily.
The intervals will be IS seconds
for Sixteenth Street traffic and 30
seconds for cross-town flow at dull
periods During the rush hours
each direction will be allowed a
45-second period. 1t will be neces-
sary according to experiments to
stop at M Street, @ Street and I
Street in the movement north to
Florida Avenue from III Street.
Favors 3O-MiIe Speed
Colonel Moller declared that he
did not see any reason why the
speed limit on light-controlled streets
could not be increased to 80 miles
an hour after the public became
acquainted with the system.
He said that the controls per-
mitted absolutely safe operation.
Pending the installation of the
eight lights around Scott Circle at

men will be station. They will re-
main there until the electric light

A NEW TRAFFIC PROBLEM

The complaint made regarding traffic control at Myrtle and Main streets and Main and Commercial streets appears 10 be entirely justi- fled. That something definite will have to be done 10 relieve conges- ton at these points is generally ad- mitted. The plan is to place per- manent traffic officers at both corners.
 The trouble at these streets is q legacy from past mistakes. That the city was not laid out well but al- lowed 10 grow is indicated from the fact that Myrtle and Commercial! streets, although running in the same general direction, do not reach Main street evenly. The result is heterogeneous experimentation of traffic-mostly intermttently stall ed--during the rush hours. Condi- tions are getting worse than they used to be at the Center.
 Some cities would solve such q difficulty by ripping away several business blocks and making the two streets conform with one another. But it would be unreasonable to ex- pect this city to go that far, desir- able though the acquisition of the downtown widening would be,

POLICE PROTECTION

The city government is hard at work with financial statistics and attempting 10 meet all requirements of a growing municipality with the money likely to be appropriated, and behind all the disputation. ar gumentation and discussion is the natural desire not to increase the tax rate.
 One of the departments in the public eye the past few days was that of the police. It has been re- ported repeatedly that the city Is inadequately protected and d claim has been made that l5 additional policemen arc needed.
 We are no experts on how many policemen this city should have, but in common with other citizens we arc of the opinion that at present IL lldS lUL ElbuSll' " llNi' i"Ni SS 'Ni ~NN of the city arc unprotected, espec- tally at night, the situation is least serious enough to merit very careful attention with a view towards i'm provement.
 The idea of making a per capita comparison between this city and others in the state is not entirely sound. The general layout Of cities must be considered, the varying kinds of population must be weigh ed, and the general contour of the city as we'll New Britain cannot be compared with Meriden in many respects.
 New Brtain's police department is efficient, but the city has out grown the force II is the duty of the city to catch up and place the department on an even level with the requirements.
