mally advised the District Commission
ers today that he would accept the po-
sition of assistant director. left vacant

In closing the sensational traffic light
episode, the Commissioners gave Mr..
Eldridge the option of resigning or ac-
cepting a demotion to assistant traffic
director for the part he played in the
Irregularities In connection with the
purchase of traffic signals from the
Grouse Kinds Co. of Syracuse, N. Y.
Mr.. Eldridge made known his de-
cision in terse and formal COM
municatiOn which he personally sub
mitted to Commissioner Proctor L.
Dougherty. Tt contained no comment
on the action Of the commissioners
nor did it give a reason why he de-
sired to continue his service with the
traffic department. Mr.. Eldridge,
however, said yesterday that his
heart and souP' were wrapped up in
Washington's traffic situation and that
he did not want to leave.
The commissioners are still casting
about for a traffic director and plan
to fill the post just as soon as practic-
able. A competent engineer is desired,
it was said, preferably one familiar
with traffic problems.

Nv a staff Correspondent of The Star


RICHMOND, Va, March 30.--House
Floor Leader Charles Henry Smith of
Alexandria. dissatisfied with Airing
ton County's share in the ALLEGATION
of State highway funds, today intro
duced in the House a resolution call
ing on the State Highway Commission
for an explanation of an allotment of
S22 500 on a three mile stretch of road
in Rappahannock County.
At the same time he introduced a
bill to compel the State Highway Com
mission to widen the so-called lower
Alexandria Washington road to 80
feet and to straighten 1t with a view
to public safety.
Pith of Resolution.
The appropriation made by the
Highway Commission in that county,
the resolution points out, was for the
maintenance and betterment of a por-
ton of the State highway system lead
ing from Masseys Corner to Wash
ington, Va This roadway, the reso-
luton states, already has been con-
structed and hard surfaced.
The Highway Commission would be
called upon by the House ito furnish
any information or facts which they
have in their possession showing the
necessity or ACCESSIBILITY for the ex-
penditure of so large sum of money
in the form of maintenance on said
stretch of road"
To District Line.
The Alexandria road bill provides
for improvement "of that portion OF
the Jefferson Davis Highway leading
from the corporate limits of the city
of Alexandria to the District of Co.
lumbia line" so that the roadway will
be 80 feet wide and will be straight
ened.
The State Highway Commission is
authorized to make the improvements
out of the current maintenance fund
allocated to the Culpeper district.
