City Heads Ask
More Data on
Hospital Annex
Question Cost Rise
Estimates for
Psychiutric Building

Additional explanation Of q 80
per cent increase in the cost and
floor space of the proposed
psychiatric building at District
General Hospital was demanded
today by the Commissioners,
The action came as District
officials asked the city heads to
approve invitation of bids for
constructing the 200-bed facility.
Originally. according to Archie
"a. Hutson, director Of buildings
and grounds, the structure was
estimated to cost $2.2 million
before plans were drawn--but
now Is expected to cost $2.8 mill
lion, an increase of some 5000 900.
DR.. John Schultz, head of the
psychiatric department at Dis
trict Hospital. said most Of the
cost increase resulted from plans
which would permit much of
the first floor to be used stimuli
taneously for Office space and as
AN out-patient clinic.
Bed Space Cut
Health Director Daniel L.
Seckinger said his department
had cut proposed bed space from
$50 to 200 in an attempt to keep
down costs.
Engineer Commissioner
Thomas A. Lane, pointing out
that the increase In floor space
and cost combined with reduc-
ton In beds represented an In
crease Of nearly so per cent in
proposed cost per bed.
He asked Mr.. Hutson and DR.
Schultz to supply data proving
that as presently planned, the
facility will not be so superior
to other similar projects as to be
"out Of line" for the District.
DR.. Schultz said the building
would consist of eight 25-bed
units to handle acute psychiatric
cases. The largest ward, he said.
would have only four beds.
Roof Plans Dropped
| Original plans for q roof ex-
ercise area were dropped. he
said, in an attempt to hold down
costs.
An appropriation to finance
construction Of the building has
been approved by Congress along
with funds for a proposed tuber-
lculosis building. the need for
which has been challenged by
District officials recently.
Mr.. Hutson said the increased
cnst OF the psychiatric building
was expected TO be Offset by
savings In construction Of the
tuberculosis building.
Although observers have ex@
lpected the tuberculosis building
would be abandoned. city officials
today insisted 1t was still under
consideration for construction as
10 chronic disease treatment
center.

A So per cent decline in traf-
fic cases tried in Municipal
Court during fiscsal 1954-55 was
disclosed by Chief Judge Leon
ard P. Walsh yesterday in his
annual report to the Department
of Justice.
The decline translates into
10000 fewer cases, or a dror
from $4,000 to 16,60S cases.
The drop in the number Of
traffic cases was the largest
single factor In bringing about
an overall reduction of l6 pei
cent in criminal type cases tried
The total number Of cases. Grim
inal and civil, tried last veal
was l74, 1865, as compared u
1874, ,462 In fiscal 1953-54. Thi'
represents a drop Of SAT pei
cent.
Violations Increase
The decline in traffic case:
tried should not be construed tc
mean there were fewer violations
AS a matter of fact. said Deputy
Chief of Police John j. Agnew
traffic head. violations are up
compared to last year.
Judge Walsh cited the work Of
the newly formed Central Viola
tions Bureau as the reason fol
the reduction in traffic cases. He
described the CVB as a cooling
off" agent.
Previously. when motorists
went to a police precinct to post
collateral for a violation they
often were a little hot under the
collar and chose to be tried in
court. Under the present system
in August Of last year, q
violator may post collateral BY
mail or have someone else go to
the Violations Bureau in Mu-
nicipal Court to pay his ticket.
Court Trials Drop
Apparently, this privilege ap-
peals to traffic violators. for only

Which is what comes Of try

battered typewriter keyboard.
It merely says "This is speed?"
The Government has started
lon tests of the radically new
keyboard in the hopes Of i'm
proving the efficiency of thou
sands of typists to cut costs.
The "Ydco CO ole" stems
from an old hand using
the touch system on q standard
machine and keeping eyes on
the chart of the revised key
board. For the beginner 1t should
Ibe as easy as any--some experts
say easier.
Advocates claim the new key
board arrangement would boost
1.-THE average typist's output by up
Ito 35 per cent. No one has specu-
lated on how long 1t would re-
quire the experienced typist to
I"unlearn" the old keyboard.
General Services Administrator
Edmund. F. Mansure says there
ALREADY is considerable evidence
that the .'simplified" keyboard
does result In more production.
The Government operates more
than 100000 standard machines
costing about $125 each.
The idea of changing the key
board on today's typewriters has
been under discussion for years.
Ibut there has been no major
revision for SO years.
The test coup is being divided
into IL typists who will use the
standard keyboard and IL who
will use the new system. Each
member win be matched with a
person Of roughly equal SKILL
