D. c. LIGHT FUND
HITS SNAG

The Districts big traffic light
fund Of 100000 is in danger Of
being spent unwisely because of
the hurry to obligate the money be-
fore the appropriation expires, De.
cember 81, observers at the District
Building believe today.
The Commissioners and the Public
Utilities Commission are at odds
on the question of locating the
lights.
The Commissioners are inclined
to approve Traffic Director William
II. Harland's program for CONTROL
ing traffic by lights on Is arterial
houlevards and "a isolated intersec-
tons, but the p. Il. G. disapproves
of certain angles Of this program.
Under Harland's plan. most of
the lights will he placed outside
the so-called congested sections Of
the city. Many authorities believe
the lights should be placed in the
downtown section, along F and G
Streets between Ninth and Fifteenth
Streets.
There is little time left however,
for discussion of these questions.
Although the money has been avail
able since July I, there has been
very slow progress in working out
the program expenditure.
The contract for the lights must
be awarded by the end of next
month. or the money reverts to the
Treasury.
District officials realize that they
only have a few days in which to
act.
Opponents of Harland's plan con-
tend that the money should not be
obligated hurriedly. since it Is prob.
ably the biggest appropriation for
traffic lights the District will have
for many years.
