SURVEY ANALYzES
CAPITAL TRAFFIC
Trade Board Group Decides
on Chain Bridge Replace.
ment as Major Aim.

A study Of traffic flow in the Wash
ington area which. in the opinion of
District bridge and highway officials,
will be invaluable in determining the
future course of road and bridge con-
struction in the Capital, will be made
available by the Bureau of Public Roads,
Department of Agriculture, within the
next two months.
Speaking before a meeting OF the
Bridges Committee of the Washington
Board of Trade yesterday, E. w. James,
chief of the bureaus highway division,
reviewed the results Of his department s
extensive traffic survey conducted two
years ago.
With respect to Washington, Mr..
James said the study revealed an
average of 115,000 vehicles enter the
city every day. OF this figure, roughly
tWo-thirds represents suburban traffic
and s. per cent are from adjacent
counties of Maryland and Virginia.
Gets 25 Per Cent Response.
The study, Mr.. James said. covered
the origin and destination of traffic.
Approximately 450000 vehicles were
solicited and the bureau received a Is
per cent response to its QUESTIONABLE.
When the bureau analyZed the fig
ures with respect to the flow of traffic
over bridges, Mr.. James said it was
found daily average of $500 vehicles
pass over the Chain Bridge every day.
The study indicated, the speaker de-
clared, that If bypass is created to
route traffic to the westward OF the
Capital. traffic over the Chain Bridge
would be doubled. II bridge were
erected at Great Falls, 1000 vehicles a
day would use it. If bridge were built
at Fort Washington to route traffic
south and east of washington. approx
inately $500 vehicles would use that
route. These figures, Mr.. James said,
origin and destination information OBJ
tanned. ..-.
I'VE are going to suggest to the Dis
trict that a survey of traffic be under
taken on all OF the bridges crossing
the Potomac so that the validity Of
this record may be preserved" he as
serted.
Three Types Suggested.
The Bridges Committee announced
that replacement of Chain Bridge would
be its major objective during the COM
ing year. A progress report on the sub
ject was presented by DR.. EeWellyn Jor-
dan, chairman of a subcommittee on
Chain Bridge, in which he stated the
District Commissioners have agreed to
include an estimate in the coming bud
get for the purpose Of making engi-
neering Investigations and studies look
ing toward replacement Of the bridge.
An appropriation of $4,000 is sought for
this study Three types of bridges have
been suggested, he said, the high-level
type, low-level and double decker type.
H. P. Caemmerer. secretary of the
Fine Arts Commission, informed the
committee he would bring the Chain
Bridge matter to tn, attention OF the
commission at its November IT meeting.

Commission Refuses
To Cut phone Rates

Explaining why public utilities can
not be subject to the sharp price
fluctuations which are incident to
private business, the state railroad
commission denied a petition of tele-
phone users in the Edgeley district
requesting reduction in telephone
rates of the Dakota Central Tele-
phone company.
I'm the case Of regulated utilities, F"
the commission stated, "the regula-
ton Of rates and control OF return
Is exercised to the end that rates, at
all times, be maintained at rea-
sonable level. Were the utilities un-
regulated, as is true of private en-
terprises, if they were free during
prosperous times to fix rates with
out regulatory control, then they
could, with justice perhaps, be sub
jected to the price fluctuations suf-
fered by private business during eco
nomic depressions."

LANCER ARGUES FOR
SALESTAXPR0P0SAL
Tells Williston Audience It !.
Needed to Meet Interest
on Bonds

Williston, N. D., May 23.-tR)-An
account of his administration OF state
affairs was given by Governor Will
liam LANCER in public address at
the high school auditorium here
Monday evening following banquet
in honor Of the governor, Mrs.
LANCER and A. J. Gronna, attorney
general.
The governor recalled that In his
campaign speech in WilliSton last
fall he promised If elected to reduce
expenses million dollars a year but
said the actual saving was greater as
the legislature appropriated five mil
lion as compared with 10 million
spent by the preceding adninistra-
ton.
II am certain" he said, that the
state will be run as efficiently on
four million dollars as it was on the
10 million and am quite sure much
more honestly"
The governor pleaded for support
of the sales tax proposal which he
declared was a replacement tax and
necessary to meet bond interest and
support schools.
He cited cuts in funds allowed large
state institutions to allow more for
the common schools.
Defending his moratorium against
foreclosures the governor said this
was not promulgated until banks. in
surance companies and building and
loan associations had asked and been
granted such protection which made
it necessary to give similar protec-
ton to individual debtors.
Until the farmer gets reasonable
value for his products" he declared,
'just so long am going to keep the
moratorium in effect"
Short talks by Gronna. Frank
Vogel and M. o. Steen preceded the
governors address. George H. Noel
lring, district judge, was chairman.

SOLID GAINS MADE
BY U. s. BUSINESS
Closer Study OF Situation Pos
sibIe As Imitation Excite :.
ment Subsidies

The subsistence Of the first flare Of
initiation excitement has enabled a
more studied view to be taken Of the
solid gains which had been made in
many directions, even before the
stimulus OF artificial measures had
been adopted as q succor to CONNER
cial activity, according to the week.
" report of Dun and BradStreet.
Despite the improvement Of both
trade and industry since the early
part of April, the reports last week OF
further expansion were more numer-
Gus and indications Of sustained gains
were more convincing, although the
movement forward was at a slower
pace.
Business in general now has assum-
ed dimensions wider than seasonal
and has progressed to such degree
that it is becoming the exception to
find report from any section OF the
country which does not enumerate at
least a few trades in which produc-
ton and distribution have risen from
the point at which they stood at the
beginning of the quarter.
Each week the reports reveal null
tiplying evidences Of the broadening
of purchasing power by the recent
price advances, the continued expan-
sion OF industrial operations, and the
new fields being opened by govern
mental work. Employment In the
steel, automobile, rubber, and brew
ing industries has increased as much
as 100 per cent during the last two
months, while the recent advances in
agricultural products have given the
farmers approximately q billion dol
lars more to spend, exclusive Of the
funds which have been provided by
the Farm Bill While the check to
the downward economic swing may
not be reflected, as yet, In wide re-
employment, further reductions are
appearing weekly In the number OF
applications for relief in many Of the
large industrial centers.
During the last three weeks retailers
in many parts Of the country have
announced that they are recording
small profits, after more than two
years Of deficit operation. Doubtless,
the rigid economies put into effect
since 1880, together with the low levels
at which inventories of unsold goods
have been held, will help both large
and small concerns to increase their
profits steadily, even though sales
may continue under the total record
ed in more prosperous times. The
early returns on April retail sales bear
out the steadily gaining weekly vol
ume which was recorded during that
month. With the exception Of the
final week, retail prices persisted at
low level all through April, so that
the increased dollar volume was in
dicative Of a strong rise in unit turn
over.
