doorway leading to the rear of the place

foot with twine and told to stay quiet

Thirteenth Street
TRAFFIC TO SHIFT
Flow SouthWard in Morning
Hours and NorthWard
From a to 6.

The plan of Commissioner Hazen to
make Thirteenth street a one-way thor
oughfare from Kansas avenue to Mas
sachusetts avenue during the morning
and afternoon rush hours is expected
to be put into effect the latter part of
the week.
The Department of Vehicles and Traf-
fic yesterday rushed preparation of
signs to be erected along the street, in
dicating a one-way traffic movement.
These signs will be distinctive in color
to avoid confusion with the black and
white markers on full time one-way
streets.
Between and $50 am, only south
bound traffic will be permitted to use
Thirteenth street between Kansas and
Massachusetts, avenue. From to G
pm, the thoroughfare will be open to
northbound trafflc only. During other
periods, two-way traffic will be per-
mitted.
Before putting the plan into effect
Commissioner Hazen proposes to get
the reaction of the Traffic Advisory
Council He already has discussed il
with Traffic Director Van Duzer and
Police Supt. Brown.
Parking on both sides of the street
probably will be prohibited during the
rush-hour periods. Traffic officials fear
unless this is done, parked vehicles
would interfere with the smooth flow OF
traffic and defeat the purpose of the
plan to expedite the traffic movement
The rush hour one-way plan will be
adopted on Thirteenth street for an ex-
perimental period, it was said. and il
successful, it probably will be extended
to other major traffic arteries.
