D. c. TRAFFIC BILL
BLOCKED IN SENATE
Dill Holds Up Consideration
Because of So Many
y
AbSenteeS. ;:

COnsidera ton of the District trafnc
bill by the Senate late yesterday was
prevented by Senator Dill, Democrat,
of Washington. wfo objected on the
ground that there was too small an
attehdan nee of members in the cham
ber at the time.
In asking for unanimous consent
just before adjournment, Senator
Capper. chairman of the District COM
mittee, called attention to the ur-
gency of the bill. The measure had
been objected to on previous occa-
sions by Senator King. Democrat, of
Utah, but a week ago he conferred
with Traffic Director Eldridge and
framed several amendments which he
plans to offer on the floor to cover
his objections. 1t was thought the
way had been cleared for action.
When Senator Capper asked for con-
SideratiOn of the measure yesterday
Senator Dill said:
Before unanimous consent is
granted / desire to say that this bill
gives the director such additional
powers that / do not think it ought
to be passed with such a small num-
Der of members of the Senate here. -
Senator Dill indicated his objection
was based on the proposal to give
the traffic director control over
horse-draWn vehicles and the move
ment of pedestrians.
The traffic bill is the most urgent
piece of local legislatio still pending
and its passage before adjournment
Is deemed essential by the District
authorities because il provides for the
renewal, on n different basis, of the
thousands of outsta nding automobile
operator permits. which expired
March 81.
The bill has passed the House. but
IN view of amendments made by the
senate committe it will have to go
to conference after the Senate passes
1t. With the time for adjournment
approaching. District officials are
hoping the Senate will act in time to
allow conferees to complete the
measure.
