Period of Service for Which
He Was Named Expires
May IS.
FILES APPLICATION
FOR REINFORCEMENT
Commissioners Considering Coming
vacancy-No Other Candidate
Listed to Date.

The term of Office of Traffic Director
William H. Harland expires on May Is.
The Board of District Commissioners
had before it today Mr.. Harland's ap-
plication for a second appointment, but
as yet no action has been taken on it.
Nobody else has applied for the job.
Commissioner Herbert B. Crosby, who
has executive control of Mr.. Harland's
department, said today he had not had
time to give the matter enough study
to be ready to comment on it.

May 16, 1927. According to the traffic
act, the term of Office of the director,
who is appointed by the Commission
ers, Is three years.
Reports on Scope Of Duty.
Mr.. Harland today also reported to
the Commissioners with respect to the
recent report of the Bureau of Efficiency
which contended that the District Com
missioners and the Public Utilities Com
mission were usurping the functions of
the traff1c director. Mr.. Harland's re-
port said that he believed that Con-
SlCoo, All cCGCAllS up OIC OAICC Va VIC
director of traffic, intended that all au-
thority over traffic should be centralized
in his Office and offered to draw up
regulations to bring this about If the
Commissioners felt that the report Of
the bureau was legal and proper.
1T Is believed" Mr.. Harland wrote,
that it was the intent of Congress in
drafting of the traffic act that all mat
tiers pertaining to traffic should be CEN
tralized under one authority-this In
order to avoid confusion and conflict.
Makes . Recommendation.
at is, therefore, recommended that
If the Commissioners find that the re-
port of the Bureau of Efficiency is legal
and proper that the regulations pro-
posed be tentatively approved by the
Commissioners of the District of CO.
lumbia. If approved, I shall be glad
to submit them in proper form and
make additional recommendations re-
garding public service vehicles after
consultation with the Police Depart
ment."
