Promoted to Post of Planning
Director in Reorganization
of Commission.

city planner for the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission since
1926, has been promoted to the more
important position of director of plan
ming as a step in the reorganization
of the commission to provide for the
increased activity and rate of progress
made possible by the enactment of the
Cramton bill at the recent session of
Congress. Mr.. Eliot's promotion was
announced today by Lieut.. Col. U. S.
Grant, Sd, executive officer of the COM
mission.
The position Of director of planning
was provided for in the basic act under
which the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission was organized,
and which was enacted by Congress in
1925. Up to this time, however. the
position has remained untitled.
In making the announcement today.
Col. Grant said Mr.. Eliot had learned
the promotion by the good work he has
done in his former position with the
commission"
The action was taken formally by the
commission at recent executive meet
ing, but was not made public until to-
day, on the eve OF the commissions
meeting tomorrow when 1t will take I'D
for consideration the preliminary prob
lens arising under the Cramton act for
the enlargement of the park system of
Washington and vicinity.
Mr.. Eliot was born in November, 1899,
at Cambridge, Mass. He still regards
Cambridge as his legal residence. He
is graduate OF Harvard University.
He is married and has two children.
The minor position of city planncr,
which Mr.. Eliot has held up to this
time, will probably not be filed for the

tons at his fishing camp, which is only

Smaller Hostelries Find 1880 Bust
ness Under That of Last Year.
Rail Trips Shorter.

The Washington Tourist Camp in
Potomac Park has housed 6,l99 more
persons so far this year than it did
for the same period in 1929. But while
the camp is running its daily registra-
lions to new heights, the majority OF
the hotels which normally would re-
ceive a good share Of the tourist
patronage report decreases In the num-
Der Of guests they accommodate.
Registration figures at the tourist
camp show that from January
through last night 1884 persons had
been registered and that 1929 automo-
bileS had stopped at the reservation.
From January / through July Is, a
year ago, the records showed that 49,
lis persons, riding in $3.50 cars, were
registered.
The camps business is looked upon
with particular favor by its operators
by virtue of the fact that 40 additional
cabins, which were erected last Fall, to
bring the total to 112, together with a
pavilion" containing 20 apartments, "
each capable of accommodating from
one to four persons, frequently are taxed
to capacity. The camp authorities
maintain list of hotels, inns and ROOM
ing house, to which they refer their
overflow tourists. Besides the cabins
and the pavilion" the camps tenting
space, Where VlSlCorS set up their own
equipment, frequently is crowded.
Meanwhile most of the smaller hotels
report falling of in their business this
year. This complaint is upheld, too, by
most Of the larger sightseeing COM
panies, who declare their business is
anywhere from Slightly below last
year to rotten" The railroad COM
panies are carrying good many pas
sengers, but there is a tendency this
Summer toward shorter trips, while the
Pacific Coast trade shows a decline.
The larger hotels alone are maintain
ing a pretty level standard of business,
they point out due to the more or less
steady nature Of their clientele.
The American Automobile Associa-
ton has not yet begun its study of
tourist traff1c into Washington for the
current season, but its spokesman to-
day expressed the opinion that there
is probably less road travelling this year
than last. One of the agencies ap-
preached today. however, pointed out
that last year was a particularly fruit
ful year in the tourist field, so that a
reduction from its standard this year
would not represent the acute situation
the quoted figures imply.

LOCAL AUTOMOBILE
INSURANCE is Low
Only Two in 13 Representa-.
tive Cities Have Cheaper
Rates Than Washington.

Out of Is representative American
cities only two have lower insurance
rates than Washington on automobile
liability insurance, according to M. O.
Eldridge, assistant director of traf1c.
Washington's rate for public liability,
$4,000 to $4,000 damage, which is the
average policy, is $21 per year. The
rate In New Orleans Is SIC and in
Indianapolis SIC. The rate for $4,000
property damage is $11 in Washington,
$40 in Detroit and SO In Indianapolis.
The costliest city, from an automo-
bile insurance standpoint, Is New York,
where the corresponding public liability
rate Is $1o3 and the property damage
rate $50. Other cities where the in
surance rates are higher than those in
the District are Philadelphia, Provi-
dence, Buffalo, Cleveland, Chicago, Bal
timore, Atlanta and Los Angeles.
The figures, according to Mr.. Ed
ridge, are based on the fact that Wash
ington enjoys low accident and fatal
ity rate, and that the rate is on the
decline. In list of IS cities, he point
ed out, Washington has had a lower
fatality rate for the past four years
The latest figures, for June. showed
that washington was still the safest
city, from the point Of view of traffic
fatalities, among the 10.
