This policy was announced today by Chairman Gibson after a committee conference, but he cited as a notable exception to this rule that the traffic signal 1ight investigation is not con- sidered closed and will be given con- sideration by his subcommittee. In the discussion today looking to- ward the adoption of such a policy, Maleolm Kerlin, a ive of the Bureau v, who has been co-operating with ‘the Gibson suhcommitteo in the studies of Dis- trict offices, suggested that the Gib- son subcommittee in its review of the efficiency report should segregate those where action had not been taken by the Commissioners in line with the recommendations of the Bureau of Efficiency, and should ask the Commissioners to explain why they had not taken action as rec- ommended. This drew a defense of the Commissioners from Representa- tive Rlanton, who emphasized th the Commi: are given discre tion ould not ho torced to earry out recommendations with which they are not in accord During the discussion that followed the committee agreed that the Com- missioners should have discretionary powers and should not be forced, but members felt that it was entirely proper for them to look over the re- ports and to conter with the Commis. sioners as to why they had not carried out the recommendations, Mr. Gibson distributed among the members of the subcommittee the Bureau of Efficiency report.

It was pointed out by members of the association that in the event of fire it would be necessary to lay from 2,500 to 3,000 feet of hose from the nearest fire hydrant to the home, which houses a large number of elderly persons and children. ‘The association also favored a t transfer at Kennedy street and Georgia avenue and Ninth street and Pennsylvania _avenue between the lines of the Washington Rallway & Electric Co. and the Capital Traction Co.
