|ND0RSE CONTROL
OF PEDESTRIANS
Trinidad Citizens Favor
Regulations Applying to
important Crossings.

Pedestrian traffic control regulations
for the more important intersections
were unanimously favored last night
by the Trinidad Citizens Association
at its initial meeting of the year in
the Wheatley School library.
For the pedestrians own benefit,
he should be made to obey traffic laws
just like any one else," Martin G..
Stecker, treasurer Of the association,
asserted in urging adoption of the
resolution by Earl H. Pickel.
The association opposed the recent
parking regulation banning parking
from point 20 feet back of the build
ing line and asked instead the line
be drawn 20 feet from the intersec-
ton.
Sees More Space Advantage.
Mr.. Pickel, who made the motion,
said that if motorists drive properly
they can see without cars being cleared
for such distance. He said the pro-
posed change would permit four more
cars to be parked at each corner.
Substitution of low candlepoWer
electric lights for brighter gas lights
IN some Trinidad alleys was opposed
by the association after one member
protested she was afraid to drive in
her alley at night baceuse it was so
dim.
Il don't know what 1t is to use my
garage any more at night" she as
serted. The group also asked brighter
lights in the H street NE tunnel,
and opposed turning the street lights
of at $50 am. while it is still dark.
Mrs. William H. Mahoney. the
newly elected secretary. protested the
appearance of the Gallaudet College
grounds, and said there were old
papers, weeds and broken bottles lying
on the ground

The continued use of old buses on
the Trinidad-Burleith bus line was
protested in a resolution presented by
Mrs. j. M. Selby, The group, in

Art Phillips went out and slammed
the door. 10 watched him hurry down
the walk, climb into the car and drive
away. OF late Art had been consid-

and in the second place she was 4

irate policemen. If Arts decision
hadn't come on this particular day,
she wouldn't have minded a bit. But
the fact that that afternoon she was
scheduled to be at q bridge party in
the neighboring town of Benton, and
had been depending upon the car to
transport her there, was annoying.
10 glanced at her watch. The last
bus to Benton for over an hour had
left 10 minutes ago. She became a
little panicky at being deprived of
the afternoon Of bridge and became
angry at Art for his attitude in the
matter.

Quick action followed. Ten minutes
later she was on bus riding down.

was parked at the curb In front Of

Feeling somewhat like a small boy
stealing apples she took the ignition
key from her bag, which Art had
failed to deprive her Of, climbed into
the car and was away. Once beyond
the city limits she didn't care hoot
whether Art discovered the theft or
not. 1t would do him good.

There was no indication of excitement
