B-16 ) AZEN SES NEED FOR MORE POLCE Speeding Also Blamed for Mounting Traffic Toll in City. “Traffic fatalities are due largely to the lack of police personnel and also the speed-crazy drivers of our city,” said Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen at a meeting of the Southwest Citi- zens' Association last night at the fourth precinct station. “Traffic accidents are no reflection on the Police Department,” he said, “but they could be reduced if there were more policemen and not so many demands on the Police Depart- ment for activities other than police duties.” Commissioner Hazen said that there were about 20,000 more automobiles registered here this year than last year, and that the people have been 5o accustomed to violating the traffic laws that they violate them with im- punity. Opposes Higher Speed Limit. “I am opposed to any increase in | the speed laws in the District,” he| said, “because traffic engineers have proved that traffic can move faster and with fewer accidents at 22 miles | an hour through a fixed point than | any other speed.” | In connection with the public recre- ational facilities, Commissioner Hazen sald that this was a municipal activ- ity and supported by public taxes, 50 should be kept under the control of the Commissioners. The group went on record favoring Hr. Hazen's ideas on recreational fa- cilities, declaring that all recreational facilities now under District control should remain so and those under Federal control should be placed under the District government. “Our city government is the best | and cleanest form of government in| the country and to my opinion is the | best ever devised,” Mr. Hazen said in | speaking of the proposed change in| the District form of government. | Stresses Need for Club, Maj. Ernest W. Brown, superin- tendent of the Police Department, | said there was a need for a boys’ club ‘n in the Southwest section. “We would gladly give the fourth | precinct station for this proposed | club,” he said, “but there is not suffi- | cient space for the number who would join.” William Leishear of the Boys' Club | Committee was selected to investigate the space above the Municipal Fish Market and report at the next meet- | ing if it would be suitable for a club. | Maj. Brown commended the citizens for having less crime in the last few months than any other section in the city. | The association went on record as favoring a four-point resolution sub- mitted to the group by Yandel Blake- ly, chairman of the Public Utilities Committee. \ Larger Busses Asked. | The resolution requested the Capital Transit Co. to use larger busses to serve the Fourth street area, more | frequent and regular street car service | | | on Seventh street south of Pennsyl- vania avenue, establishment of a more | suitable bus service between the South- | west market area and New York | avenue, and construction of a street car switch at Fourteenth and Water | streets southwest to eliminate the traffic hazard at that intersection, { Another resolution, introduced by Harry S.
