District Officials Ask
Canal Bridges
Be Repaired

The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
continues to be source OF con-
Germ to the District OF Columbia
government and the corporation
counsel's office Is prepared, after
q survey of the canal bridges TO
insist on repairs to at least two
of them.
Safe and adequate bridges, It
Is believed. will serve to reduce
the number of accidents and
deaths annually exacted by the
old canal.
The Jefferson Street Bridge and
the Thirtieth Street Bridge, the
corporation counsel's office reports
are in need of repairs, while the
bridges at Twenty-ninth and
Thirty-first Streets are apparently
safe.
About four miles of the canal
are In the District and since its
abandonment several years ago

THIRD CASE
DEFECTS
CITED

Radical changes in the traf-
fic code Of the District, which
would have a far-reaching eff
feet on all traffic cases taken
to the local courts, are likely
to grow out Of studies Of de-
fects in the code now being
conducted By Traffic Director
William H. Harland and Cor
poration Counsel William w.
Bride.
In 1923, Congress, in enacting a
new code, made no provision for
third Offenses insofar as a time
limit Is concerned. Under the law.
as now obtains, a third offense may
be based on a first and second
offense committed several years
ago. Under the old law q third
offense had to be within 12-month
period.
Mr.. Bride today said that the
present law il obviously ineqniIabla
and unfair, and added that a speed
ing case today following similar
offenses in 1923 and 1925 would
constitute a third offense and the
court would he required to direct
4 jail sentence and automatic re.
vocation OF the drivers permit
would follow.
Traffic Director HarIand Is giving
considerable thought TO the subject
and will include his findings in his
annual repoEb now in course of
preparation.
1t was indicated today that both
Mr.. Bride and Mr.. Harland will
recommend 10 the District Commits
sioners that Congress be asked next
winter to clarity the law and emend
the code inserting therein Clause
placing the 12.month limit on bird
offenses.
1t Is known that the courts do
not look with favor on the present
law and would welcome modifi-
cation.
