Asked by Keneipp 10

Police, Fire Departments
Also Seek Larger
Budget for Next Yeor
By John w. Thompson, Jr.

Traffic Director George E.
Keneipp has asked the District
Commissioners for $4,000 to
expand his department during
the fisVal year beginning next
July /.
The amount is $205 ,348 above the
current appropriation and contem-
plates 27 new jobs.
Earlier. Budget Officer Walter l.
Fowler disclosed the police and fire
department requests looking toward
improving the city's protection in
general and the area east of the
Anacostia River in particular. The
Police Department asked a total OF
$6,230, 600, as compared with SIS, $780,
600 currently appropriated. The
Fire Department sought s4,423 900
against current allocations of S3,.
106 900.
To Bolster Engineering Section.
Mr.. Keneipp's plans for the com.
ing year include bolstering the en-
gineering section of his department
to carry on an 11-point study and
Improvement program for city traffic
handling. The points are:
l. Maintenance of minimum war
rancies' for new traffic light install
lations, so the new signals would be
installed and old signals retained
only at locations which, according to
continuous studies, meet the mini
mum justifications.
2. Continuous checks of traffic
volume at intersections controlled
by signal lights to adjust the timing
as often as needed to insure maxi
mum efficiency.
Central Light Control Planned.
3. Plans for the development of a
| system of centralized control of traf-
| fic light timing to enable variance of
the timing of any light within q
given area Immediately.
4. Overhaul the traffic sign sys-
tem to eliminate unnecessary and
conflicting signs and replacement OF
those disflgured or illegible.
| 5. A stop sign survey to remove
those unnecessary and add new ones
where needed.
6. A systematic program of re-
painting traffic lanes and parking
meter zones. and installation of dur
able markers.
7. Study of the need for more one
way streets.
8. Establishment of better cross
town streets.
Study of Accident Frequency.
9. Study of accident frequency at
certain streets and intersections and
institution of corrective measures.
TO- Adoption of city-wide policy
for traffic movement on all streets
80 feet or less in width either by
removing parking on one or both
sides or making them one-way.
IL. Determination of pedestrian
protection needs, wide use of barri-
cades at dangerous crossings.
The largest part of this program
was approved by the Commissioners
about a year ago in their $555, 900
five-year postwar traffic plan.

BERLIN, Sept. 16.-German
voters in the American, British

Political observers said the Inde-

Danish minority seeking the re-

In the predominantly Catholic
French area, the Communists trailed
far behind the Christian Socialists
corresponding to the Christian Dem

American zones. Independents, be-
cause of the local nature of the elec-

ON THE MEND - Another item
stressed by that editorial in 1890
was to bemoan the fact that:
in each of the larger cities Of
North Carolina there is maintained
a college or school of higher learn
ing. The establishment of these
institutions of higher learning has
drawn to these cities a nucleus of
brain power which has in a large
measure contributed to The we'll
balanced and rapid development
of those places. People have been
made to think in terms other than
mere commercialism."
The editorial made a strong plea
for a college for Wilmington by
1910. Even if it was a few years
late in coming the Port City can
now boast of the Wilmington Cen
ter of the University of North
Carolina. In addition to that q
strong committee has been at work
