CENTRAL LIGHTS
PLANNED

Installation Of automatic traffic
light signals on certain congested
streets in the downtown area today
was recommended to the District
Commissioners by Traffic Director
William III. HarIand.
"A syncnronized system on Thir-
Iteenth st. N. w, from e Street to
| Massachusetts Avenue, and "iso-
lated" signals at the intersections
of Sixth and Tenth Streets on r
and 6 Streets, were urged by the
Traffic Director with the sugges-
ton that these installations would
give traffic authorities an oppor-
tunity to study the effect 1E auto
matte signals on traffic IN the
congested area.
1t was also pointed ont that it
would most likely result in pro-
viding a method OF control Tor fu-
tire expansions.
1t Is said that Harland's study
and ati0ns were inspired
by sharp criticism In Congress for
failure to install signal lights in
the downtown area. These recon-
mendations are q modification OF
thu installation program which was
approved last November by the
Commissioners. The lights for the
downtown ..isloated'' installations
would be provided for in place Of
five similar Isolated stations al
ready approved by the Commis-
sioners.
The five, which would be eIfnni-

Demands that the labor protectivet
clause be included in the ultimate
merger plan were made.
Another bombshelI was dropped
into the merger hearings today
when the Central Labor Union of
Washington filed a series of de-
mands which ii insists he consid-
cred by the Public Utilities Com
mission before a merger agreement
is allowed.
A. C. Hayden, chairman Of the
Utilities Committee Of the central
body. personally filed report when
he appeared as a witness against
the merger plans.
The central body. among other
demands, opposes the fixed rate of
return on any valuation: they de-
mand Service guarantees" in the
plan ana oppose any merger which
would be likely to necessitate an in
crease in carfare."
They further demand that "there
be provision establishing machinery
for voluntary arbitration of several
Industrial differences, according to
accepted practices OF standard trade
unions"
William A. Roberts, vice chair
man OF the utilities committee Of
the Federation OF Citizens Associa-
tons, enlivened the proceedings. and
plainly agitated the traction presi-
dents and their counsel. when he
took the witness stand and submit
ted exhibits to disprove the COM
pany's contentious regarding a fair
rate Of return, reproduction value
and depreciation.
Bitterly Assaulted
The traction interests bitterly as
sailed Roberts after he had had
Chairman John W. Childress place
him under oath. He was the first
witness in the hearing to testify
under oath.
When the hearings began last
week Roberts sought to have all
witnesses sworn.
G.. Thomas Dunlop, counsel for
the Capital Traction Company, who
led the fight on Roberts, declared
that mo added weight should be
because he had been sworn and
sought to show that Roberts was
trying to place the company wit
nesses in a bad light.
Chairman Childress ruled that
Roberts had right to be sworn If
ne wished.
Plenty OF Exhibits
Roberts offered as exhibits numer-
Gus charts, tables and graphs to es-
tahlish his contention that the COM
panies have no right to fixed
valuation or fixed rate of return,
that they have submitted evidence
based on false premises and not con-
sistent with established methods of
financing and extension of public
utilities.
The witness frequently was inter-
rupted by lawyers for the traction
companies, who insisted that he was
making an argument rather than
appearing as a witness.
