In striking contrast is the expert
tence on Sixteenth street and Massa
chusetts avenue. No fatalities have
occurred since the traffic lights have
been installed on these thoroughfares.
The situation there Immediately sug-
gests the question "Will serious acct
dents be curtailed or entirely elimi-
mated from these other streets after
the lights have been installed" The

the effect will be time alone will re-
veal. but logical deduction would seem
to be on the side of tie traffic office.
