TRAFFIC LIGHT.
. BUCK PASSED
IN ROW

The street lighting extension
program of w. H. Harland, di-
rector Of traffic, is six months
behind, it was learned today
and all due to the fact that
someone left $4,000 that was
TO have been spent last year
for signal light poles get back
into the Treasury of the
United States.
Harland blames the office of w.
r. Hadley. electrical engineer of the
District, for failing to pledge the
money prior to June 30. 1873. and
Hadley comes back at the traffic
head with the reply that the money
was not turned over to his office in
time.
Who Is To Blame
According to what little can be
gathered in the office of the two
department heads 1t appears that
$50 poles were to be purchased on
which to hang the signal light
boxes.
This sum was turned over to Had.
ley. II is claimed, the latter part OF
June, 1928, when it was too late to
advertise for bids and the result OF
the matter was that July came and
back went the $4,000.
Meanwhile Harland had purchased
the light boxes and they are now ac-
cumulating a blanket Of dust in the
ba sement of the Traffic Bureau.
Just who was to blame seems to
be a moot question among such
questions, with HarIand blaming the
delay in installing his light boxes
for which he has no poles on Hadley
and the Electrical Engineer taking
the stand that Harland had blum
dered.
Tops Bring Row
At the same time the rumpus was
started over the failure of the poles
to be purchased, or at least the
money pledged ) that 1t would be
available this year. another row
started in regard to the ornamental
tops for poles already installed.
The 'pineapples." as they are
called by the engineer, were ordered,
hut found to he unsatisfactory and
the order was cancelled. Hariand In
the meantime has been more or less
upset over the fact that number OF
his light supports are unfinished and
In such condition offend the esthetic
sensihiiities OF motorists.

dabs and other fiat fish. And since
her hours along with him on the water
always meant a couple of free meals at
the farm, Mrs. Warner, the farmers
wife. was pretty easy ABOUT IL and let
Sally 60 off when she could. Because
her husband. James Warner, dotted on
fresh dab and they suited the old man
inside. and he wondered whatever he'd
do for EN- when Sally was gone.
She certainly loved the sea amazing
and often wished she'd gone for a
~stewardess instead OF taking up work
ashore. for she was never sea sick, even
when Ned's anchored boat rolled near
gunwaleS under on a loppy sea. Nor
could aught fright her. and she often
laughed at his care afloat. Tor he was
up to all sailors lodges and never
would let her make fast a sheet or do
ANYTHING not Shipmanlike. n pOked
fun at him sometimes and said he was
feared of the sea though he lived by
it, and he answered that he was feared
of nought, but he knew the sea and
she did not, and she'd soon larn to
fear it all right when she larned more
about what it could do.
Then came the memorable jaunt
on Bank holiday. when Ned was wish
full to take her to Sldmouth fair and
bide ashore, but that weren't no use
to her. She hadn't got no pleasure in
the land when she could so u to sea
for a day, and SO to suit her, 1t was
ordained as they put in a long spell
with the dabs and maybe Whit for an

to tack he found If they didn't want
to get broadside on in the broken water
on the beach.
Sally began to understand at last
they was in a bad mess, but not a word
she said. She watched the seas and
wondered which of 'em would topple
in, and she found herself face to face
with an ocean very unlike any she'd
seen except from the safety OF dry land.
But even the size Of the waves
weren't bulking 81 big In her mind as
the size Of the outrage, what Ned had
put upon her and she hated him very
and sat forward with her eyes upon
him; and then he took his tack q
quarter of a mile from shore and nosed
straight for the surf. He knew 1t was
deep rioht up to the land and he al
ready saw half a dozen men running
for where he'd come In.
There was q lot of water In the boat
by now and he shouted to Sally.
BALE for your life!" he said; and
glad of q job, she set to 1t and done
her best. Then they was In the white
water and seemed like q log Of wood
at anchor for q minute, but Ned kept
her nose straight and she wallowed
from wave to wave as they slipped
under her, but each fetching her q
thought nearer.
Twas q miracle of seamanship as
the watching men told after, for the
boat was near water logged o and
baling vain; but she weren't q wreck
yet, and good luck and great skill kept
her moving, and she didn't go broad
side on till she touched bottom. But
then a roller twisted her round like q
straw and the mast went and she cap
sized into a sheet Of foam. Ned was
ready for that, however, and SO was
the men ashore. They'd thrown ropes
to him. and he'd gotten his arm round
the woman by that time, for the mo-
ment the boat touched he'd jumped
for her right forward and they was
In the water to their middles In a
moment, but clear Of the wreck.
