COUNTY SEEKS
ROAD FUNDS

EVANSVILLE. Nd, Jan. IL.
Prince Georges county commits
SionerS will demand funds for sew
eral large construction projects
when they appear before the State
Roads Commission Monday.
Since the Republicans gained
control of the road commission
the Democratic county commits
sioners have not been given any
funds outside of secondary road
maintenance. Perry Boswell, chair.
man of the county board, pointed
out today.
And in the use of secondary
road maintenance funds, the
county is charged with an over.
draft of $4,000.
Mr.. Boswell said:
"I'm not so sure we ought to
be charged with an Overdraft.
We are being charged for more
things now than we ever have
before. Maybe we'll get some
authentic information Monday"
While the meeting was called
ostenSibly to map out a way to
eliminate the overdraft on second.
airy road maintenance, the com
n1iSsioners will ask instead that
some big project be taken up in
the county with other gas tax
revenues.
Among the jobs listed are the
extension of New Hampshire Ave
nue.. and New York Avenue. from
the District line, paving the
abandoned Washington, B a 1t j.
more and Annapolis right-of- way,
and Lohr'S Hill cutoff.

Traffic Jams
When Lights
Lose Blink

Automobile horns footed per-
sistently, pedestrians looked
amazed, motorists were sometimes
heard to use strong language, and
traffic became hopelessly con-
fused at several downtown inter
sections for over half an hour this
morning, when traffic lights
around Thirteenth Street and
Massachusetts Avenue Northwest,
Eleventh and F Streets and other
corners went off the blink.
With the lights remaining
either red or green, it became
necessary for police to clear up
many tangles.
Officials Of the Potomac Elec.
trio Power Company, which serv-
ices the lights, explained that at
about 1880 a fuse in q substation
at Eighth and E Streets North
west became loosened, cutting off
the power which causes the lights
to change.

CIVIL SERVICE
NIGHT SHIFT
DUE FEB. ;
By ]. EARLE MOSER

While workmen thunder outside
tearing the face of its building off
to get F Street back into a
straight line for the first time in
decades, officials Of the Civil Serv'
ice Commission are at work inside
the old Patent Office structure
preparing to put on their first
night force since the World War.
The force, which will be under
the commissions application and
ratings sections, has been found
necessary to take care Of the rec.
ord-breaking thousands Of appli.
cations that have filtered in since
the Post Office Department was
placed under the 40-hour law.
Tests for clerk-carriers and rail
way mail clerks have caused most
of the jam, and it is also neces.
sary to rate the examinations for
CCC enrollees who were given the
chance to gain o Civil Service
status by executive order.
February 3 will see the first of
the night force at work, it is said
with more to be taken on later.
Practically all, however, have al
ready been selected from the com
missions eligible registers.
In order to keep confusion as
low as possible, it is expected that
the additional force will be placed
at corridor desks, probably some
in the patio that formerly faced
on Civil Services front door but
now has been closed off, due to
the current renovation. The auxil
larry staff will come to work at
4:30, when the regulars quit, and
leave at midnight.

Putting It AdeuuateIv

The suggestion of John Arthur
Shaw, director of the Veterans
Preference League, that Govern.
ment civilian employees should be
treated like those in the military
or naval forces and kept on a pay
basis when their agency is de
moliShed for some political reason,
until new stations can be found
for them, is just what those now
being buffeted around believe
they should have. The money
saved by elimination of appoint
ment and transfer red tape, and
by having at all times a proved
efficient list of workers available.
would more than outweigh the
cost Of paying those temporarily
without stations. And when "out,"
they could, of course, be placed on
lower scale, temporarily. The
organization that adopts the idea
as a plank should gain immeasur.
