New Lane Trial
Due on M Street
And Key Bridge

The Commissioners today
ordered an unbalanced traffic
lane system during rush hours
on Key Bridge and M street
NV.
The move had been suggested
by Representative Broyhill, Re-
publican of Virginia's nearby
10th district.
The Commissioners decided
to give the proposal a trial,
although city highway officials
have been doubtful that it
would do much to aid traffic
flow.
Under today'S action, the
bridge and M street up to Penn
sylvania avenue will be shifted
to a four-two lane setup dur
ing the morning and after
noon peak hours.
This means that inbound
motorists will have four lanes
from z to $3.50 am. and out
bound drivers four lanes from
4 to $3.50 pm.
The new system will go into
effect 10 days after today's de-
cision is advertised by the city.

The case Was carried to the

refuse a guilty plea If ne has
evidence the accused was men,

The order returning Lynch
to the hospital was issued by

DR.. OverholSer said Lynch
