= SHIP BIDS NOT 10 AFFECT RUNS Commissioner Teller of Ship- ping Board Says Only Change to Be in Improvement. The Shipping Board today again in- Wited bids for the purchase or charter of the Leviathan, George Washington, Republic, President Harding, Presi: dent Roosevelt of the United States Lines, together with the American Trader, American Banker, American Merchant, American Farmer and American’ Shipper, now operated for the board by the American Merchant Lines. In ‘asking for bids Commissioner Phillip Teller, chairman of the ship sales committee, said that storles originating with competing lines were to be expected to the effect that the Shipping_ Board lines would be dls- continued if the ships were not sold. “The permanence of the United States lines is not affected in the slightest degree by the invitation for bids,” Mr. Teller said. “Any change In the serv- ice will be solely by way of improve- ment; if possible, through private ownership, and, if not possible, through operation by the board. The confl- dence which has been manifested in the rellability and regularity of this service will be fully justified.” DEATH HELD ACCIDENTAL Coroner’s Jury Exonerates Autoist in Fatal Injury of Mrs. Roane. A verdict of accidental death was returned by a jury at an inquest at the morgue today in the case of Mrs. Mathilda F. Roane, 74 years old, 29 Bryant street, who died at Garfield Hospital Saturday morning as a re- sult of injuries received when she was knocked down at Fourteenth and U streets by the automobile of Arthur F. Steinberg, 1356 Columbia road. Police reported she was crossing against a traffic signal, and that she ran in front of the moving automobile so suddenly that the driver of the automobile was unable to prevent the accident. Mrs. Roane was the wife of Samuel B. Roane. Funeral services will be held at the family residence at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Trash for Fuel. Converting rubbish into fuel is cheaper than throwing it away, ac- cording to estimates made recently by an English engineer. His plan is to remove the tin cans, crush the refuse into powder, and then press it into little bricks which {can be treated with tar oil or coal to aid ignition. He estimates the cost at $1.80 per ton, while the present disposal cost is $1.75 a ton. THE EVENING MOTORISTS IGNORE NEW “STOP" SIGNS Arrests Indicated if Viola- tions Continue on Six Latest Arteries. Failure of motorists to observe the new “stop” signs erected at street in- tersections along boulevard and arte- rial highways led Traffic Director M. O. Eldridge to intimate today that the Traffio Department would request the Police Department to station offi- cers at the marked intersections to arrest. violators. The new signs were placed along six thoroughfares last week, and the installations were resumed today on three others. The signs have been erected on Sixth street from H street to Florida avenue, Massachusetts ave- nue from Sheridan Circle to the Dis trict line, Wisconsin avenue from Massachusetts avenue to the. District line, River road from Wisconsin ave- nue to the District line, Rhode Island avenue from Fourth street northeast to the District line and Bladensburg road from Fifteenth and H streets to the District line, The streets to be marked this week STAR, 'WASHINGTON, are Eighteenth street from Massachu- setts avenue to Columbia road, Cal- vert street from Columbla road to Connecticut avenue and New Jersey ! avenue from the Capitol to Florida avenue. Erection on lamp posts of the new signs limiting or prohibiting parking also has been started by the traffic bureau. The initial installation was made on Pennsylvania avenue in front of the White House, East Executive avenue and Treasury place. These new enamel signs are 12 inches wide, 16 inches long and are suspend- ed on an iron bar 8 feet 6 inches above the ground. The lettering is white on a green background. Mr. Eldridge announced that he ex- pected delivery of the 30-mile speed limit signs within two weeks. These signs will be placed along the arterial highways on which the speed limit will be increased. Although the Com- missioners have approved a 30-mile Iimit on three of the 13 arterial high- ways recommended by the traffic_di- rector, the limit will not be consider- ed raised until the signs have been erected. Jazz Age Is Thrifty. Bankers at Portland, Oreg., have come to the conclusion that, regard- less of the jazz age and the tendency to installment buying of luxuries now considered necessitles, there js a steady gain In thrift habits. Bank deposits fo the first six months of the year gained $9,000,000, of which more than two-thirds, or $6,000,000, was a gain in savings.

The constant increase in the num? ber and weight of vehicles, coupled on of the city and build ing activities, has about doubled the unit cost of maintenance of suburban roads in the past six years, according to the annual report of C. B. Hunt, en gineer of highways of the District, made public today by the Commission: ers. On account of these conditions, Mr. Hunt explained that the suburban roads must be more frequently and more thoroughly patched and fempo- rary surfaces put on of a greater thickness than formerly. He pointed out that the number and cost of repairs to cuts made in the streets was in excess of all previous records, the cost rising from $435 in the preceding year to $505,000 vear. “This unit of our organiz: operated on distinct lines of its own, in construction processes and cost keeping,” said the report. “It has its separate personnel and equipment and with exceptionally small overh cutes a large field of work costs. Large Paving Program. The outstanding feature of the vear's construction program, Mr. Hunt emphasized, was the execution of a large paving program. Under funds provided from gene t for street improvements 37 streets were paved, while under the gasoline tax fund 38 streets were similarly im- proved. The appropriations for these 75 items agsregated $838950. 1In addi- tion, he said, a progr widenings was provided for and almost entirely completed. Thesa involved M street from Twenty-ninth to Thirty fifth, Ninth street from New York to Massachusetts avenue, I street from Fifth to Thirteenth street, Bla- densburg road from H to L streets and_Thirteenth street from I street to Pennsylvania avenue. The appro- priations for these projects aggre- gated $230,400. The large area of suburban road- ay paved during the year, Mr. Hunt red, was exceeded by 40 per cent by the area of the streets newly open ed, giving a temporary surface and added to the area of the streets to be maintained hercafter. Summary of Improvements. A summary of the street improve- ments during the year was given in the report, as follow tandard asphalt paving laid, ndard asph - phalt sur- 711 It su g e yard: face vements (blanket treatment), 61,892 square yards; vitrified block gutter, 5977 square yards; cement conerete roadway pavements, 23 square yar old cobble and block removed, 10,937 square vards; granite and bluestone set, 21,466 linear feet; cement curb formed and laid, 113.024 linear feet; grading, 288,854 cubic yards; cement concrete sessment and permit work), cement concrete side- Government re - cemeént concrete alleys (assessment and per- mit work), 46,41 ards.
