A.A.A.S SEEKS THREE
TESTING STATIONS
Official to Take Protest
to Congress for Auto
inspection Depots.

Demands for provision of three mo-
tor vehicle testing stations were re-
newed today by the District division
of the American Automobile Associa-
ton after the Commissioners had ap-
proved recommendations of their sub
ordinates calling for two inspection
stations.
Washington I. Cleveland, A. A. A..
local manager, said he would take the
protest to Congress if necessary, on
the ground that two stations would
not be sufficient to permit annual test
ing of all vehicles.
AS anticipated, the Commissioners
late yesterday approved plans drawn
up by committee including Maj.
Daniel j. Donovan. auditor: Capt. H.
c. Whitehurst, highway director; Dis
trict Surveyor Edward A. Dent and
Traffic Director William A. Van Duzer
While the inspections are not to be-
gin until next January, the Commits
sioners acted promptly, since Con-
gress must approve appropriations for
construction of stations and for per-
sonnel and equipment before the test
ing is possible. They plan to seek
$4,000.
They propose erection of one sta
ton at Twelfth and E streets S.W. and
another on West Virginia avenue NE,
to the north of Mount Olivet road.
both OF which are owned by the Dis
trict., Maj. Donovan said suitable
site, with proper zoning, had not been
found in the Northwest section, but
that a third station might be pro-
vided later if found necessary.
George E. Keneipp, manager of the
Keystone Automobile Club, also has
protested that two stations would not
be enough and that one should be pro-
vlded for the Northwest area.
Mr.. Cleveland urged that the Com
mlssioners regulate the inspection serv-
ice so that vehicles will be tested in
a continuous procession, free from de-
lay, rather than in punches, with the
inevitable irritation of long lines and
hours wasted while drivers await an
opportunity for their turn"
He advised that post card or letter
notices be sent to the owner of each
vehicle. indicating a period of a week
or l0 days during which the car was

Construction of the Thomas Circle

likely today as conferees on the 1899

proVal of the Senate amendment for
tryout of automobile parking meters
in Washington.
Senators Fighting for Bridge.
With a compromise in sight on the
underpass issue, Senate conferees will
make every effort to retain funds to
commence work on the new Pennsyl-
vania Avenue Bridge, Southeast. The
K street grade separation project at
Rock Creek Potomac Parkway is likely
to be restored. The Senate amend
ment for new bridge across the Rock
Creek Parkway at Massachusetts ave-
nue. still awaits settlement.
All of these bridges and underpass
items come under the highway fund
and do not affect the general fund
deficit, which makes necessary the
new tax bill.
Aid Survey Change Foreseen.
1t was not certain last night what
the decision of the conferees will be
on the Senate proposal for an imme-
dlate survey of relief needs to be made
by an outside expert and completed
by May l. The House bill provided
for an investigation by the House Dis
trlct Committee, but the expense item
for that survey would not have been
available until July l. There we're in
dlcatlons some change may be made
in the terms of the Senate amend
ment.
The conferees are reported to be
still undecided on Senate amendments
to keep the National Training School
for Girls and the Children's Receiv-
ing Home in operation. The House
voted to close both institutions and
send the inmates to other District
agencies.
There are number Of other de-
tailed appropriation items still await
ing settlement. All signs. however.
