Stagger hours for Government
workers and a physical merger"
Of the street car transportation
system was urged today by Thomas
S. Settle, secretary of the National
Park and Planning Commission,
as the most feasible solution of
Washington's rush-hour traffic
problems.
Mr.. Settle said he thought these
steps should be taken at least as
q trial, before the subway system
suggested by William A. Roberts,
peoples counsel, is seriously con-
Sidered.
HIGH COST CITED
He declared:
Il am not convinced Of The
need for a subway at this time.
It is expensive and think If
we will make real effort to nut
some Of our other plans into
operation we can relieve the
traffic situation without sub
ways"
The Commission secre tary
pointed out that although the
Capital Traction Company and
the Washington Railway and
Electric Company had merged
their systems, the merger was
"only on paper" and physically
did not improve the situation.
Track Connections Asked
He said the tracks of the two
companies should be connected at
many points to effect a notice
able increase in efficiency.
Mr.. Settle also pointed out that,
although studies and hearings on
Washingtons congestion problem
have been going on for more than
a year. no definite line Of attack
has been decided upon. He
added:

our theories and study them,
