VOTE

A bill providing for the election
Of the Board of Education by
citizens of the District Of Column
bit was introduced in the Senate
today by Senator Capper, chair
man Of the Senate District Com
lnittee.
Differs From Gasque Bill
The measure differs in many par
ticulars from the GasQue bill, in
voting power, however, to taxpay-
ers or patrons OF the school and
does not exclude any OF the legal
residents of the city from exercise
ing suffrage.
Senator Capper's bill also provides
that members of the board are TO
be elected at large, and not from
geographical divisions OF the Dis
trict. The latter method, which IL
worked out in the Gasque bill has
been abandoned by many cities be-
cause 1t has been found to be UNI
satisfactory, Senator Capper says.
The Gasque bill makes the Board
Of Education responsible for con-
Quoting the election of board mem
Ders.
Seen As Mistake
Senator Capper believes this is a
mistake which would inevitably re-
suit In great dissatisfaction, since
the board would be charged with
exercising undue influence for or
against the reelection Of its own
members.
The Capper bill places the Dis.
trict Commissioners in charge of
the election, and provides that NOM
nations for election shall be made
by petitions signed by one hundred
or more local citizens.
The Capper bill also defines cit
izenship in the District as one
years residence.

CHANGES
SPEED AUTOS

An entirely new system Of oper-
ating tile Sixteenth street automatic
traffic control lights is being tried
out, Traffic Director M. Q. Eldridge
said today. In the hope that the
flow of automobiles may be speeded
up, q ''pulsating" or alternating
control Is now in effect.
1t will now be possible, according
to Eldridge, to run the whole dis
lance, from Lafayette Square to
Sixteenth and Florida Ave-, without
making any stops. It is necessary,
however. for a motorist to move at
uniform speed, about 90 miles an
hour.
Many Of the red and green lenses
had to be reversed so that the
areas" might be marked off with
out changing the mechanism OF the
system.
The new plan Is described by
Eldridge as a movement to keep
motorists out of the middle Of the
street when they do not desire to
travel at the maximum rate OF
Bpeed. 1t will also keep reckless
drivers from stepping on the accel-
orator in the effort to beat the
timing OF the lights, he said.
Starting at Sixteenth and II
Streets" explained the traffic d.
rector, IAN automobile going north
viii reach M Street on the greer
signal. AS he crosses M Street the
lights behind him will flash red
while those In front of him will
turn green, allowing the motorist
to proceed. He will get to p Street
when another change takes place.
but the green light will still be
ahead of him. The other areas are
bounded by r Street and by Flor
Ida Avenue"
The timing on both Sixteenth
Street and Massachusetts, Avenue
has been shortened, according to
Eldridge, and the lenses on Massa-
chusetts Avenue have been re
versed to coincide with Sixteenth
Street.
This staggering of the system,
Eldridge said, although an expert
ment. has been given careful con
sideration.

a completed machine in Chester,

nothing Of the man, other than
that he had come to the office,

encouragement.
