Fiscal Survey Fails to
Provide Safety Program
To the Editor OF The Star

To the Editor Of The Star:
Most unfortunate is the fact that the
Jacobs fiscal relations survey neglects to
recommend adequate Federal appropria-
tions to the District Committee for use
in originating a more thorough program
TO reduce trafilc fatalities and injuries
here.
Constructive are the provisions of the
budget relating TO an appropriation OF
$25 900 for the installation of trafflc
lights, and to appropriations for the
starting OF a new Pennsylvania Avenue
Bridge, $325,OOO, with authorized limit
of 81 $50 600 and 500 600 for the COM
pletion of the new Chain Bridge. Traf1c
lights and vehicular spans are necessities
But trafac lights and vehicular bridges
alone will not eliminate the hazards
which have taken toll Of ,305 lives in
IS years in the District OF Columbia!
Think OF 1T, ,305 precious lives snuffed
out by automobiles in this city, the Ma
tional Capital Of the United States, the
city that should be setting an example
in public safety for other cities to
follow.
An increase in the membership Of the
trafic police force. as was suggested
several times by Maj. Brown, Superln-
tendent of the Metropolitan Police De-
partment, is imperative II some measure
of improvement in trafflc conditions is
to be made here.
Although still insufficient for the local
need, the addition Of at least 100 police
men for duty at the most strategic inter-
sections Of the city, would 60 long way
toward reducing congestion, and would
check the "chiseler" and careless oper-
ator of bus and truck and passenger
vehicle.
Had the members Of the Jacobs Sur
yey Committee taken more than an
academic interest in Washington's in
creasinsly grave automobile trsfhc prob
lem, perhaps something constructive
would now be under way in Congress to
reduce to q minimum accidents to life
and machinery. However, the inability
Of the survey committee to attack this
problem sensibly, places the whole
matter before Congress anyway. ...
The lives of the people of the District
OF Columbia are In their hands. May
they be guided wisely and judiciously
in making their deliberations and deci.
sions in this respect ,e.- ....-

Urges Use of City Parks
For Storage of Motor Cars

To the Editor Of The Star:
How much longer can local citizenry
afford to shake its head at Washing
tons parking bugaboO and remark. Its
awful? Daily this estimate becomes
more apparent, but 1t takes such an out
rage as the annual deluge OF emergency
no-parking signs intended to facilitate
snow removal to bring the matter fore
IDLY to our attention. These signs have
been posted the length and breadth OF
the city, causing untold Inconvenience
to thousands OF motorists and inviting
fragrant violation, and how much snow
has been removed? Maybe the weather
man is at fault.
Washington must sooner or later
squarely face the fact that it has far out
grown It's facilities for parking and Stor-
ing cars. When hundreds of people live
in one apartment house they cannot
hope to park their cars in the small
street frontage below. Garage space is
usually out Of the question: There is
not enough Of 1t and IL is consequently
at premium. To remedy such an acute
condition, it would seem II growing Capt.
tai City might we'll consider converting
some Of its many parks into orderly.
supervised and self-sustaining parking
areas, located where the demands are the
greatest. A small parking fee would
offset the cost OF maintenance and the
attendants wages, and allow suitable
'landscaping TO beautify the plot. Such
a plan would take thousands OF cars of
the streets, ease the trafnc problem and
In all probability save few lives each
year. CHARLES H. WILLIAMS.
