ROADCOMM|SS|ON
I. TAKES OVER STRIP
Montgomery Member Cites
Status of Former Chew
Chase Car Track.

The condemnation proceedings for
the strip formerly occupied by the
Capital Transit Co. tracks on Con-
necticut avenue, between Chevy Chase
Circle to Chevy Chase Lake. are now
il the hands Of the State Roads Com
mission, Commissioner Robert D. Hag-
ner announced today.
In reply to several inquiries re-
celved within the last two weeks. Mr..
Hagner issued statement scoring the
inaction Of the Fusion-controlled
county board. and its counsel, F.
Barnard Welsh.
Mr.. Hagner explained that on his
motion the commission offered the
Capital Transit Co.. $4,000 for the
strip. which is about 20 feet wide and
totaling about four and half
acres. The Capital Transit Co. held
out for $4,000, although admitting
it had no use for the property now
that buses have replaced street cars
on the line. The board then ordered
Mr.. Welsh to institute condemnation
proceedings.
ITO date. there have been absolutely
no steps TAKEN" Mr.. Hagner declared,
TO follow the instructions as to con-
demnation, ordered nearly a year ago.
Meanwhile. an $4,000 bond issue
authorized by the last Legislature to
purchase and improve the strip is no
longer available because it was not
issued by last December 81 as provided
in the authorization
AT the board meeting last Tuesday.
I introduced q motion to instruct Mr..
Welsh again to proceed with the con-
demnation, but, by 3-to-2 vote. the
fusion commissioners refused to
authorize action at this time
Il then made a motion that the con-
demnation proceedings be turned over
to the State Roads Commission, as
Connecticut avenue is a part of the
State roads system. This motion was
adopted unanimously.
AS there has been so much interest
shown in the acquisition and improve
ment Of this right-of way, I feel it is
only fair to state all the facts in the
matter so that the residents of Chevy
Chase may know it is now entirely out
Of my hands"

PUBLIC TO GIVE
VIEWS ON SAFETY
Schultz Bars Experts" at
Meeting Tonight to Hear
Man in Street.

The men and women of Washington
who don't know a thing about the
technical side of regulating traffic,
but who have even a slight idea of
what should be done to save a life In
the streets were invited today by
Chairman Schultz of the Traflic Sub
committee Of the House District Com
mittee to attend his traffic clinic"
tonight at 8 o'clock in the auditorium
Of the Labor Department
Il don't want any traffic experts,
or so-called experts to do the talking
tonight" said Mr.. Schultz. They've
had their chance already. I par
ticularly want to hear from those
people who either walk or drive. and
can offer some constructive criticism
that will lead to improvement Of
Washington's traffic conditions"
Partial Broadcast.
WMAL will have its microphones scat
tered about the auditorium to pick up
portion Of the discussion from 8
to $50.
Mr.. Shulte's subcommittee is en-
deavoring to develop program that
will make Washington safety con-
scious and keep the 1888 traffic fatality
record below the los total of last year.
Meanwhile, E. Irwin Dollar, presi-
dent Of the Industrial Brotherhood of
Taxicab Drivers, announced he would
present four-point program Of traf-
nc control to Chairman Schultz at to-
nights meeting.
In defense Of hackers driving ability,
Mr.. Dollar said that out of 22,550
trafic accidents recorded for 1887,
only 2,24l involved taxis. OF 112 traf-
nc deaths for that period, only four
could be attributed to negligence of
cab drivers, he added.
Four Proposals.
Foremost among the four proposals
is the recommendation that control
Of pedestrian traffic be enforced at all
intersections along F and G streets
NV. from Thirteenth to Seventh
street NV. inclusive. This could be
accomplished, Mr.. Dollar explained,
by installing a light system which
would permit the pedestrian to cross
the intersections on the amber light
only, at which time vehicular traffic
would be stopped both ways
Other recommendations are that all
mechanically operated stop and 20
signals within the first, or 20-cent taxi
zone. be kept in operation continually
for "a hours day; that the speed
limit be increased in the downtown area
from ~ to rs miles per hour and from
80 to IS in the outlying districts, and
that all parking be prohibited from
8 am. to pm. along both F. and G
streets from Fifteenth to Seventh
street, inclusive.

AUTO COURT ACTION URGED
Palmisano Hopes TO Set Up -Four
Tribunals,

Chairman Palmisano Of the House
District Committee announced today
he proposed to expedite action on his
bill to establish = system of magis-
trate courts to handle cases involving
minor violations of the traf1ic regu-
lations
The measure, which Mr.. Palmisano
introduced yesterday. is identical with
one sponsored in the last Congress
by Representative Norton. Democrat,
of New Jersey, former chairman of
the District Committee.
Mrs. Norton's bill was favorably
reported by the District Committee
but died on the House calendar.
Sets Up 4 Courts.
Four magistrate courts in four
police precinct station houses would
be set up under the bill. These
courts would be in session from 8
to 10 am. and from 3 to 5 pm. daily,
except Sunday.
Traffic violators arrested while the
courts are in session would be taken
directly before . magistrate for trial.
The idea is to save the time Of the
person arrested as we'll as the police
man, and to reduce congestion In the
trafflc court.
Presidential Appointees.
The bill provides for appointment
by the President Of four magistrates
and three alternate magistrates. The
four magistrates would receive $2,500
4 year each, but the alternates would
be paid IS day for each day OF
service.
The magistrate court plan was origi-
nally proposed by former Corporation
Counsel E. Barrett Prettyman, who
patterned 1t after the system now in
operation in Baltimore, where Mr..
