UNDERTAKE STUDY
: OF TRAFFIC REPORT
Commissioners Expect Moth
;::n New About EIdridge
in Document.

A thorough study of the final report
of the Federal Bureau of Efficiency
on the results Of its investigation into
the irregularities in connection with
the purchase Of automatic traffic sig
mails and accessories was started to-
day by the District Commissioners.
Thus far the Commissioners have
made only a cursory examination OF
the voluminous document and its en-
bellishment OF exhibits, and, there
fore, are reluctant to discuss any or
it's features. Neither are they willing
at this time to say positively whether
any further action is contemplated IN
view of the severe criticism the report
contains of NJ. Q. Eldridge, former
traffic director, who already has suf-
fered a reduction in rank for the part
he played in the irregular practices.
Personally, Commissioner Proctor
L. Dougherty, who has administrative
supervision over the affairs of the
traffic department, believes that 40
further punishment should be meted
out to Mr.. Eldridge. But his col
leagues have not indicated whether
they share his view.
Expect Nothing New.
The Commissioners, however, do not
expect to learn anything new regard
ing the accusations against Mr.. Ed
ridge from their study of the report,
as thew were present at practically all
of the hearings at the Efficiency Bu-
reau during the examination Of the
former traffic director and his assist
ant, Col. /. c. Moller, who was forced
to resign following the bureaus pre-
liminary report of the investigation.
While they anticipated some criticism
of Mr.. Eldridge in the final report, the
severity of 1t, it was said,- surprised
them somewhat.
Mr.. Eldridge, who now occupies the
position of assistant director, was as
reticent as the Commissioners when
asked to comment on the report. lie
had not yet seen q copy of the docu-
ment, and his knowledge of its con.
tents is limited to the newspaper ac-
counts.
Eldridge Keeps Silent.
SET have nothing to say" was Mr..
Eldridges only response to the re-
quests of newspapermen for a state.
ment.
! 1t is known, nevertheless, that Mr..
Eldridge feels keenly the attack OF
the bureau on his administration, con-
sidering the improvement in the
traffic situation in the District during
his regime. When he took Office early
in 1925 the traffic fatality record for
the preceding year had chronicled 81
deaths. This figure was reduced to
81 in 1925, and further cut last year
to rs.
During this period the number or
registered automobiles in the District
jumped from about $4,000 to $4,000.
The number of traffic accidents also
showed a decline in this same period
from 9,1O0 to 6,400. according to the
Traffic Bureaus figures.
