D. c. ASSESSMENTS
MAY Be CANCELLED
Moebs Decision May Lead to
Revisions in Street
Widening LevieS.
The decision of the Court of Appeals

The decision of the Court Of Appeals
in the Joseph j. MoebS case yesterday
may lead to a reasseSsment Of all
property in the District assessed within
the past three years for special street
widening jobs.
These widenings are undertaken only
under authority of special acts Of Con-
gress and the acts usually provide that
40 per cent of the cost snail be as
sessed against abutting property owners
by the methods laid down In the act
Of July /, 1914 (the Borland act) as
amended.
Such was the case in the appeal de-
cided yesterday. which arose on an act
for the widening of Connecticut avenue.
Moebs appealed because his property
was unduly burdened by the assess
ment. 1t is a long property, ending in
a point at Dupont Circle, and is 136 2
feet wide at its greatest width
On similarly situated property in
the johnson case the court cancelled
an assessment under the Borland law
on the ground the act in question was
one Of general application and might
produce inequities in special instances.
In deciding the Moebs case, however,
although it arose on legislation cover
ing only one specific job, the court ruled
it was the same as the johnson case
and cancelled the assessment.
This ruling Of the court, according
to Assistant Corporation Counsel Yer
non L. West, may be a judicial deter
mination that even in the case Of spe-
cial acts, the assessments should be
made under the current assessment
law, passed February 20, 1881, as n
substitute to the 3orland law. The
constitutionality or validity of this act
has not been litigated.
Mr.. Vests Interpretation was made
on a hasty reading Of the opinion OF
Justice Van Orsdel in the MoebS case
and not offered as an official solution
to the problem, the responsibility for
which rests ultimately with the Com
miSsionerS.

LIGHTS REGULATE
CONVERSATIONS
Few of 1857 Controlled, Sur
vey Shows, Despite
Complaints.

There are 1897 street intersections In
the District. only $50 of which are con-
trolled by traffic lights, according to a
survey completed today by Traffic Di-
rector William A. Van Duzer.
The intersection study was made as
a result of complaints that the streets
of Washington were cluttered with traf-
f1c lights. 1t shows. however. that the
percentage of lights is small in COM
parison with the total number Of inter-
sections.
Controlled by Stop Signs.
Aside from the traffic lights, the sur
vey disclosed that so intersections are
controlled by policemen and 1900 by
stop signs.
Mr.. Van Duzer said he is contem-
plating additional traffic light installa-
tions. but only at intersections where
the volume of vehicular and pedestrian
traffic indicates a need. A traffic count
is being made to determine intersec-
tions where control is necessary.
Changes underway in the traffic light
system, Mr.. Van Duzer said, may make
it possible to increase the timing on
the amber lights, so that pedestrians
will have more time to clear an inter-
section before a change of red or green.
Time May Be Increased.
Under the flexible progressive sys-
tenn, which the traffic department has
adopted, he explained an increase OF
2 seconds in the amber light timing
may be made at intersections where
pedestrian traffic Is heavy.
