surface was available on land

Traffic DISTINCTIONS.

This is the season for street repairs.
Highways are being torn up and re-
surfaced and various operations are
going forward in all parts of the city.
The public is gratif1ed that the District
government possesses the necessary
funds to make these Improvements and
that they are being made with prompt
ness and dispatch. There is well
defined feeling. however. that two fea-
lures OF the operation might perhaps
be changed so as to lessen the
inevitable distractions to the smooth
flow OF automobile traffic. The first OF
these is that when the street programs
deal with automatically controlled
boulevards the lights should be cut out
at the particular intersections affected
and the second is that policy be
devised so that the practical closing OF
two main arteries Of traffic shall not
occur at the same time.
There is probably no more ridiculous
sight than to see automobile traffic
held up by a red light when the street
intersecting with that on which the
motorists are standing is entirely closed
to travel. This spectacle has occurred
daily. and. 1t might be said. minutely,
at the intersection of Seventeenth street
and Massachusetts, avenue while Massa-
chusetts avenue has been undergoing
repairs. With work now started on
Rhode Island avenue the same condi-
tion can he observed at this point and
Seventeenth street. 1t should be a
comparatively simple matter to switch
of the lights at these intersections
without affecting the rest OF the system.
Both Massachusetts, avenue and Con-
necticut avenue are now being repaired,
which practically closes two Of the
National Capitals main arteries to
traffic. The work on both streets is3
necessary and should be done, but
whether II must be done simultaneously
Is the question over which motorists are
puzzling OF course, there are still
several routes on which the motorist
from Northwest Washington may reach
the downtown district, but with Con-
necticut avenue and Massachusetts ave-
nue. normally carrying a great volume
OF traffic the loss OF these two streets Is
disconcerting TO great degree. II
engineering exigencies demand that both
arteries be treated simultaneously there
is no complaint from the motorist. 1t
is hoped. however. that in the future
programs the work may be so arranged
that Improvements can be effected witt:
a minimum obstruction TO traffic.

passed upon by the Supreme Court. 1t
is. however, on its way already to de-
cision by that court. In 1925 Presi-
dent Coolidge allowed to lapse after
the close of the session bill permit
ting the Okanogan Indians Of the State
OF Washington to prosecute a claim
against the Government Despite the
lack of a signature the Indians pre-
sented their claim under the plea that
the bill had become a law without sig
nature. Congress having merely taken
q recess" until December. The Court
of Claims ruled that the attempted dis
tinction between adjournment of one
or the other session of a Congress was
unsound, holding that the Constitu-
tion does not limit the time OF ad'
journment to the final adjournment of
a Congress, and that the courts have
no right so to limit 1t. An appeal was
taken to the Supreme Court, which
has not vet rendered decision. Should
Il sustain the Court Of Claims in ice
case of the Okanogan Indians its rui-
ing will cover the case OF the Muscle
Shoals bill. and the pocket veto OF
that measure will stand as effective.
