CITIZENS PROTEST
ONE-WAY STREETS
Return to Former Status
Among Changes Asked
in West End.

Recommendations for several traf-
fic changes in the West End section
were made during the inactive months
of the West End Citizens Association,
Almon c. Barber, chairman Of Spe-
cial TRAFFIC Committee appointed by
that body, said yesterday.
One request, which is now under
consideration by the Trafic Bureau,
was the changing Of the present one
way traffic system on F and G streets
from Seventeenth to Twenty-first
streets back to two-way traffic.
Several complaints were made by
business men on these streets, Mr..
Barber said, that this was damaging
to business. Oftentimes, the business
men were quoted as saying persons in
cars would not be able to park and
In driving around the block would
stop at other stores to make purchases.
Another recommendation made by
the committee was that parking be
prohibited on the west side of Nine
teenth, Twentieth, Twenty-first,
Twenty-second and Twenty-third
streets from s to 9:15 am. and on
the east side from to Sis pm. This
was asked, Mr.. Barber said, because
of the congestion during those hours
caused by heavy trafic.
At the request Of the committee,
Mr.. Barber declared, I street between
Twentieth and Twenty-flrst streets
was made a one-way street.
The Traffic Bureau was also re-
quested to have the K Street Bridge,
located at Twenty-ninth street, Wild
ened. There have been many tie-ups
there, it was said So far there has
been no response to this request.
Other members of the special COM
mittee appointed at the closing ses-
sion of the association to study and
recommend traffic changes were
william r. Brown, Isadore May, I.
Smith, Cyril Clark, DR.. Clifford A.
Bynum and DR.. william P. Herbst.

LIGHTS OBTAINED
IN STANTON PARK
Several Years Campaign of
Citizens Unit Finally
Is Rewarded.

The several years fight of the STAN
ton Park Citizens Association to Sc
cure traffic signal lights around STAN
ton Park has been rewarded with the
starting Of preliminary installation
work.
This was made known yesterday by
William H. Harland, District traffic
engineer, under whose term as traffic
director the fight was begun. At that
time the request of the association was
necessarily refused, Mr. Harland said,
because Of the lack of sufficient ap-
preparations for the installation.
Traffic lights are to be installed at
four intersections, he said. They are
Fourth street and Maryland avenue,
Fourth street and Massachusetts ave-
nue., Sixth street and Maryland avenue
and Sixth street and Massachusetts
avenue. all northeast. In about two
weeks traffic lights will be placed at
the north and south intersections Of
Fifth street and the park also the de-
lay being needed to obtain enough
lights.
A. H. Gregory, chairman of the as
sociations Schools and Fairgrounds
Committee, and Harry N. Stull, chair
man of the Law and Legislation Com
mittee, have been working toward Sc
curing these lights for some years.
One of the chief reasons for desiring
lights at these intersections was to
insure the safety of children crossing
to and from school. A good many
children cross back and forth each
morning. noon and afternoon in going
to and from the Carberry, Hilton and
Peabody schools. Another reason was
because of the heavy traffic and nu-
merous accidents there. Mr.. Harland
also disclosed traffic lights are to be
installed in the Lincoln Park Citizens
Association territory, at North Caro-
lima avenue and Eleventh street south
east and Massachusetts, avenue and
Eleventh street northeast.
