A.A.A. Advisory BOARD
Urges Widening Of
Massachusetts, Ave.
Dangerous Soturotion'
Of Section Cited to
D. G. Commissioners

The District Commissioners today
had before them resolution by the
District of Columbia Advisory Board
of the American Automobile Associa-
ton urging the widening of Massa-
chusetts avenue from the new bridge
over Rock Creek to Wisconsin avenue
NV. along with its resurfacing.
Meeting yesterday afternoon at
the Willard Hotel, the board cited
the present dangerous saturation'
of vehicular traffic aIong that sec
ton of Massachusetts, avenue, point
ing out that 1,10O vehicles per hour
per lane pass along the thoroughfare
during rush hours.
The group also asked that the row
of trees nearest the curb along the
avenue be removed in order to facili-
tate the widening, but requested that
the row farthest from the curb not
be disturbed.
Hear Judge Nelson.
The gathering was featured by an
address by Police Court Judge
George Nelson, who described him.
self as vigorous worker in the
traffic crusade to make the streets
safe for life and property.
Il have no sympathy for speeders,
drunken drivers, reckless drivers, hit
and runners and red light crashers, I"
declared Judge Nelson THE sooner
we can take these motorists off the
streets, the better off we will be-"
Rapping sharply the traffic violator
who endangers the life and property
of others, the jurist expressed his
belief that the people of the District
are behind any traffic program for
the public good, no matter how
severe Police Court sentences may be.
In this connection, he recalled the
$565 fine he imposed last week on a
speeder who went through stop signs
and red lights and finally extin-
guished his own lights in an effort
to avoid capture by police car.
Commended by Letters.
II have received hundreds of COM
mandatory letters from citizens sup
porting the sentence 1 gave this
man." Judge Nelson asserted.
AS a whole, the Police Court judge
emphasized, he adopts the rule of
reason and common sense in dealing
with traffic violators. Above all, he
continued, there must be co-opera-
tion on the part of every citizen in
the drive to promote safety in the
District.
Washington 1. Cleveland, manager
OF the District club Of the American
Automobile Association, reviewed the
status in Congress of the current
legislative recommendations of the
organization.
These include an increase in the
personnel of the police force of the
District, extension of the driver
training program in the local school
system, authorization for the con-
struction of vehicular underpass at
Scott Circle, establishment in the
Office of the director o. vehicles and
traffic of an Office of record for the
recording of liens on automobiles,
and establishment OF a separate
Traffic Court in the District.

The Board of Fire Commissioners meeting in adjourned session thls afternoon, will report on new bids received yesterday for the new 760- gallon bumper for the fire depart n1ef1t,
 The lowest bid received yesterday was submitted by the Peter PlrSch Company, whose bid was $7,i52, less five per cent, if paid within 90 days, or q net of s6,704.
 Two nationally known coneerns-- the American LaFranCe Company and the Scagrave Corporation --- which submitted bids two months ago, did not bid at yesterdays ses- sion. All bids two months ago were rejected by the commission on the ground that, while the popoSed trucks compiled with the speclfi- cations, some of the lower priced trucks did not possess exactly the equipment desired. The board also pointed out at that time that these trucks had far less equipment than the higher priced trucks.
 Yesterdays next-to-lowcSt bidder was the Maxim Company, with a bid Of S8,804.
