and it is a question as to when
work could get under way.
However, if all moved smooth
ly, it seems possible that land
acquisition could be started in a
years time, and the area cleared
for stadium construction within
two years"
Boundaries Listed
The area being considered is
bounded by Florida avenue on
the south and west, Fourth
street on. the east, and an un-
even boundary running from
Barry place NV, along Georgia
avenue to about Howard Univer-
sity Medical and Dental School
and w street.
Mr.. Searles said the surveys
were begun as the result of a
letter from Mr.. Thompson, who
originally had offered a bill in
Congress to use the National
Training School grounds for the
proposed national stadium.
Sports figures such as Calvin
Griffith, president of the WASH
ington Baseball Club, and
George P. Marshall, owner of the
football Redskins. seemed to pre-
fer a more central site.

Now it is up to the National
Park and Planning Commission
and the District Commissioners
to act on the idea, and push the
project to completion, if they ap-
prove it.
ID. C. Heads to Get Plan
John R. Searles, jr.. RIA di-
rector, said he was forwarding
the recommendations immediate
ly to the Commissioners and
planning commission. and to
Representative Thompson, Demo
crat of New Jersey. a member
of the National Memorial Sta
dunn Commission, who had re-
quested an RIA survey of the
northwest sector.
Several factors get into this.
Mr.. Searles said. I'm the first
place, it must be understood the
RIA is not in the stadium bust
ness. Our concern is in rehabili-
tating slum areas. However. two
surveys have shown the Griffith
Stadium area to meet renewal
qualifications.
THE matter of priority enters
into the picture. There are six
other urban renewal projects

The
Rambler
D. c. Always Slow
To Up Speed Limit
By JACK JONAS

If the people who set
the Districts speed limit get
around to approving Col.
Thaddeus Nosek's proposal to
boost it to 80 miles an hour,
they won't have to worry
about such things as streets
with more than two houses
and pneumatic tires versus
solid tires.
Col. Nosek, Assistant Engi-
neer Commissioner, feels that
the present 25-mile-an-h hour
limit should be the exception
rather than the rule, because
of the vast improvement in
streets and autos.
In the six times that speed
laws have been written and
rewritten for the District
since the first regulation in
1899, such things as tires and
tWo-house streets have been
considered.
That first law merely added
"other horseless vehicles" to
the existing speed limits for
bicycles, Bicycles at that time
were held down to IL miles
an hour generally, and to six
miles an hour at intersections.
Then in 1903 the city fathers
apparently felt that too many
top-heavy horseless carriages
were topping over in turning
corners, and a third limit was
written in-four miles an hou.
while rounding corners.
That same new regulation
took a little of the sting out
of the restrictions by increas-
ing the general speed limit
outside Washington City to
IS miles an hour.
That was when the District
was divided into Washington
City and Washington County
at Florida avenue. However,
the limit in the city remained
at II miles an hour.

THE FIRST BIG revision of
the city's speed laws did not
come until 1921, when the
improvements in both autos
and roads made it apparent
that the old laws were out
NODDED.
The general speed limit
that year was raised to ID
miles an hour between inter-
sections and % miles an hour
on streets where there are
not more than two houses.
The limit at intersections
was boosted to IL miles an
hour, and for the first time
there was a limit on truck
speed. That was also set at
IL miles an hour. And, again
for the first time, there was
an alley speed limit-six miles
an hour. &
AS technical improvements
were added more rapidly,
changes in the law became
more frequent.
Four years later, the regu-
lations were revised again.
This time the general limit
was upped to % miles an
hour. There also was the first
vague reference to posting"
OF limits, when it was noted
that the 22-mile limit would
prevail except as marked" "
That apparently took care of
such situations as school
zones.
And another limit = three
miles an hour for emerging
from alleys and garages =
was added in the 1925
revision.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-08-22

THE 3O-MILE speed limit
on certain outlying streets
came into existence in a re-
vision in 1884. That year the
city fathers also put in an
am azing g restriction of 80
miles an hour at all times for
such emergency vehicles as
those used by police and fire.
men.
The present general speed
limit of rs miles an hour has
been on the books since 1899.
That same year, the traffic
control experts apparently
recognized the absurdity of
limiting the speed of emer-
gency vehicles and removed
that restriction.
Now, if Col. Nosek's propo-
sal is approved, one of the
most broken laws in the Dis
trict will be revised again,
with the posting reserved for
certain streets at Is miles an
hour.
1t has been II years since
the last change was made,
and the improvements in
both roads and automobiles
in that time seem to warrant
another change.
