PASSING TO RIGHT
PLAN PROTESTED
Opponents of EIdridge Pro-
poSaI See More Accidents
if Rules Are Changed.

Several protests against the pro-
posed amendment to the District
traffic code, which would permit
vehicles to pass ON both the right and
left, were received today by the Com
missioners.
The strongest objection came from
Edward c.. Finney, First Assistant
Secretary of the Interior. who declared
that Washington is now menaced by
enough irresponsible drivers, who
should not be given further license to
cause injury and damage.
II wish to go on record as opposing
the change in automobile regula tions
proposed by Director Eldridge, viz, to
permit vehicles to pass on both the
right and left instead of on the left as
at present" wrote Mr.. Finney.
Fears More Accidents.
'I feel very certain that the change
proposed would increase the number
of accidents and result in many more
injuries to both person and prop
erty. At the present time one knows
in advance that a passing vehicle
must pass upon the left and can gov
ern himself accordingly.
Under the proposed Eldridge modi-
fication the driver ahead would never
know whether he was to be passed on
the right or left, or passed by cars
on each side at the same time. A
slight swerving or movement of his
car from one side of the street to the
other might bring him in collision
with a party who is endeavoring to
pass. We now have enough trouble
and enough accidents on the streets
of Washington and are menaced by
enough irresponsible drivers, without
giving them further license to cause
injury and damage.
Other Protests Filed.
"I certainly hope you will disap-
prove the proposed change"
Another protest against the same
proposed regulation was registered by
William King & Son, coal merchants,
who pointed out that they own 10
automobiles.
A. F. G. Lucas appealed to the
to reduce, instead of
the traffic regulations, while

Task of Removing River" Confronts
Chicago as Necessary to City Growth

ress-choking river was an absolute
necessity.
He suggested that the stream, which
virtually makes an island of the

where it would be continent with the
Calumet River. This would end the
expense of constructing bridges and
eliminate loss of time in raising and
lowering the spans. while at the same
time opening a huge expanse for
