police in one section reaching trou-
BILE in adjacent areas without cover
ing more than airline distance. We
hicles registered last December to-
tailed 211,081 or 239 per mile of city
street. Some 5000 are cabs which
equal 25,125 ordinary passenger cars
because of greater annual driving
ranges, 900 miles, compared to
5000 for average passenger car.
Thus actually 231 ,206 cars in Dis
trict or 1853 per mile of city street.
Three-fourths of total number
moved at least once a day accord
ing to preliminary highway survey
returns. This amounts to $4,000
which added to $1,000 out-of-toWn
vehicles gives a total of 212,000 cars
moving in District daily. Concen-
tration of Government buildings in
downtown area with $4,000 en-
ployes adds to problem. Also spe-
cial details for Federal and diplo-
matte functions totaling 86 in 1910
and averaging 31.7 men per detail.
During these details protection of
community reduced to II of a man

Following is digest of the report
made by Baxter Smith, chairman
of the Federation Committee on
Safety, in support of 100 new men
on the police force. Various civic
groups have called for increases
from between 25 and 300. The re-
port, acted on last Federation meet
ing, is divided into seven sections:
/. Size and organization of the
force-total strength, 1,437, with 857
actually on 24-hour patrol duty.
Remainder of $50 consumed by ad-
ministrative headquarters, Detec-
tive Bureau, Women's Bureau, Har-
Dor Police, Police Court, corporation
counsels office, special duty other
than patrol, annual leave, sick leave
and days off.
2. Average number of men avail
able for patrol work-303 officers
and men per eight-hour shift. Ad-
ministrative, precinct and division
headquarters use 121 of these, leav-
ing 1872 men as average actually on
patrol, or 2.6 men for each square
mile in the District, or 81 of man
for each mile of city street in the
District.
3. Special conditions affecting

needed-On basis of average patrol
force per shift, 492 additional men
needed to maintain five police per
square mile of area On basis of
average number available for traffic
duty per shift, 465 new men needed
to maintain four full-time traffic
officers each 8-hour shift per 10000
population. On the basis of ratio
of cars per mile of street to police
men per mile of street, 661 men
would be needed to bring the Dis
trict to the average of 1905 of the
II cities which have similar police
and traffic problems. Three hun
dred should be on motor cycles.
6. Cost of additional men-S2,-
10000 per man. Three hundred mo-
tor cycles would cost 1925, ,215.
Z. Recommendation - Funds for
100 new men. Despite demonstra-
ton Of need for 661 additional men
expense of this number would be
impractical. The committee recon-
mendation was amended to provide
that the 100 new men be assigned
to traffic, that the motor cycle force
be built up to a minimum of 100
men and that the added compensa-
ton Of motor cycle men be increased
from s120 a year to s240 to attract
more men to motor cycle service,

More police protection in the
northern Seventh street community"
was the plea of John NJ. De Marco
at his installation as president of the
Northern Seventh Street group last
week at dinner given by the asso-
citation in the Casino Royal. He
praised the work of the police now
assigned TO this area, but stated they
are not enough to take care of such
a large neighborhood. Other officers
installed were: Percy Soloman, first
vice president: Leon Goldman. sec
ond vice president; Louis Rudden,
secretary; Ashlan Harlan, treasurer.
and John R. Perrine, sergeant at
arms. Raymond Gittelman was ap-
general counsel. A member

since a car crossing the tracks %
New York avenue need only drive
two blocks to Fourth street, a
through street to the south. Another
suggestion was to simply connect the
overpaSS with New York avenue and
let it go at that.
If the oVerpaSS is put through
in its present form, said another,
why shouldn't the District reim-
burse the parks for the land taken
out OF park circulation for highway
purposes?" He said he had cleaned
this suggestion also from from the
Wagner-Sauers report.
Two men said in their report that.
II the overpasS were to be con-
structed the parks should be reim-
burSed with the equivalent in land
or money.
To this the official added the
observation that since proposals to
divert highway funds for other
purposes meet with short shrift:
why doesn't the same principIe
operate in the other direction?"
opposition to the overpaSs plan,
however, is bucking from a disad-
vantageous position an almost un-
precedented alliance of park off,
Gals, planners and District officials.
In most cases in the cases, as in
the case of the health center, the
planning commission and park Of
flce have been quick to defend en-
croachments of park land against
depredations by schools, highways,
heating plants and other non-park
projects.
Many examples could be quoted.
For months the parks and the
District haggled over the plans for
the Fourteenth street and Maine
avenue tS.WD grade separation be-
cause they considered park land was
threatened. The same was true Of
the Banneker Junior High School.
built on park land, on the strength
OF the yet-unfulflled promise from
the schools TO reimburse the parks
with another comparable tract. The
Scott Circle underpass plan. now
being carried out, was the result Of
months Of pickering and compro-
mise on the part of these same off,
cials.
