CONTROLLER NOT
TODELAY METERS
Plans for Early Installation
Revived as Contract Is
Ordered Mailed.
he early installation of

Plans for the early installation of
31O parking meters on downtown
streets were revived today by the Com
missioners, when they were advised
that the Controller General would not
hold up an award of the contract be-
cause of a protest filed with him by
the M. H. Rhodes Co., Inc, of Hart
ford, Conn.
After two previous attempts to de-
termine what type of meter to buy. the
Commissioners a couple Of weeks ago
announced that they would award the
contract to the Graybar Electric Co.. of
New York City, which offered to supply
the 80 meters at a price of s4445
each All of these will be the so-called
lly-automatic type.
Thereafter the Rhodes company
protested to the Controller General,
claiming the specifications were too
restrictive, in that the Commissioners,
in their third call for bids, ruled out of
consideration any meters of the semi
automatic type. which require that a
handle be turned after the motorist
deposits a nickel
The Commissioners today directed
that the contract be sent to New York
by airmail for the Graybar signatures
and planned to sign the document to-
morrow. The meters must be installed
by November 25. They will be placed
on streets in the area generally
bounded by Ninth and Fifteenth
streets, along E and F streets. with the
exception few will be placed in front
of banks near Fifteenth street and
New York avenue and on the east side
OF Seventh street near E street. The
price will be cents for parking, but
the time limit will be 20 minutes in
some places and one hour in others.

Editor, The Times-News:
The age-old academic question,
What would be the result if an
immovable object were struck by
an irresistible force? is not yet
answered to our satisfaction. Eat,
drink, and be wise; e;'Tuesday, Nov.
Sth we vote its answer. Washing

"Solid South" and is asking us
not to "bite the hand that is feed
ing u.s." Now, we wish to be
straight and solid, and we do not
wish to be ungrateful to our bene-
factors. What about it?
In its political aspect, the die
tionary defines straight" as:

the "Solid South" and expect this
"Solid South" will vote for any
thing, national, state, or local,
that calls itself a Democrat. The
word South as used here needs no
defining. We know it means us.
And the dictionary gives us clear
w the meaning of the word
"solid.": "Having the constituent
parts so firmly adhering as to re-
sist the impression or penetration
of other bodies" ga substance
held in a fixed form by cohesion
among its particles" My only re-
mark here is that | trust and sim

stencil, laden with liberty-destroy-
ing infection, from Washington,

He described it as having great
possibilities for service on account
of the broadness of the field. he
told of the preparation necessary
for entering this field, naming
some of the most prominent
schools of journalism. He said
very pointedly, "You must know
your English" and, "Don't for

work was open especially to those
inclined toward science and litera-
