ELDRIDGE DEAL
GIRL IC|zED

Traffic Director NJ. Q. Eldridge
was sharply criticised during hear.
ings on the first deficiency appro-
priation bin reported to the House
today, as a result OF contracts for
the automatic traffic control lights
in excess of authorizations made by
Congress.
Representative Martin B. Madden.
chairman of the Appropriations
Committee, took him to task for
the terms of the contract.
IF you start to make contracts
for something for which there is
no appropriation, you are doing
something that the Government
would not be bound to honor" Rep.
resentative Madden said
Director Eldridge defended the
latfon costs were going to run
higher than the original appropri-
alton allowed and therefore the
number Of lights ordered had to be
curtailed. The contracting company
was given to understand, he said,
that it might be necessary to can
Gel the balance Of the order later
IL Congress failed to provide addi-
tional funds.
Director Eldridge also was crit
icized by committee members for
the arrangements made by the
Traffic Bureau for the revocation
of all outstanding operators per-
nlits and the examination of 1riv-
ers. with a view to permanent
cancellation of permits to drivers
who may be physically unfit or
who received permits improperly.
The traffic director explained that
100000 permits would be called in
and that perhaps $4,000 of these
would be automatically cancelled
through deaths or disappearance
of the owners.
He estimated that there will be
10000 persons who will be given
new permits. At least 10000 per.
NIT holders. he told the committee.
have bad records on the police
books and will be subjected TO
severe examination before new per-
mits are granted them.

Milford chronicle., 1926-04-16

Inasmuch as the much mooted
Public Buildings Bill will come be-
fore the Senate within a short time'
it is interesting to note the efforts
made to remove the stigma OF pork
barrel" legislation. The bill, as it
passed the House, provided for ap-
propriations of $165.OOO,OO0 to be
expended over a period of five years
and gave the Postmaster General
and the Secretary of the Treasury
the mower to authorize the construc-
ton of these government buildings
in various states.
The architects and contractors OF
the country knowing full we'll the
tremendous amount of politics
which would be involved have pro-
posed to amend the bill in the Sen
ate through the appointment OF a
Commission to settle all questions
as to sites and types of buildings.
The suggestion calls for a non-par-
tisan commission but it is doubtful
if it will meet with success. The
pending measure is the first OF its
kind in ten years and its principal
supporters are determined to have
it enacted at this session. How
ever. there is considerable senti-
ment for a commission that would
take away some of the political
power that the bill would bestoW
upon the Postmaster General thru
this patronage. It is generally re
cognized that the construction OF
large Federal building in a locality
is an excellent political plum fol
the senators and congressman from
that particular district.
Despite the intense interest II
the prohibition hearings it is gen
orally conceded that there will be NJ
legislative changes at this session
or at this Congress. 1t is an issu'
in some states.
