Divided Authority

VNHE tremendous increase in the number of traffic
deaths in Washington far this year the same
period of last year is startling.
The number is almost doubled, despite the concentra
ton of effort the part of officials charged with
handling various phases of the traffic problem.
Almost every device which could be put into effect has
been tried out in an effort to cut the toll.
And still it mounts
The committee of citizens which is studying, at the
request Of the District Commissioners the desrabity
Of revision Of the local government along the line of eff
ficiency and economy, might well give thought to the
suggestion that there too many official fingers
in the traffic pie.
Authority traffic is divided among great many
offices of the local government and Federal
offices are involved in the local traffic mess.
This division of authority may very likely be a
buting factor in the increasingly distressing situation
It may be leading to overemphasis some phases of
conditions while under-emphasizng others.
The various agencies involved undoubtedly try to CO.
operate to the fullest possible extent in handling the
problem but it may be that the division is too great to
permit maximum functoning of all concerned
The very possibility that this may be true should
prompt the citizens committee to study the situation
with view to recommending any reorganization that
may be found advisable.
