CITIZENS DEMAND SAFETY MEASURES North - Capitol Association Suggests Several Plans to Eliminate Perils. The Star safety campaign was unan- fmously indorsed by the North Capitol Citizens’ Association last night, and in connection with the drive the group approved measures to remedy traffic hazards in that vicinity. The meeting, the first of this year, was held in the McKinley High School. 8. S. Stabler introduced a measure requesting installation of traffic lights on North Capitol street northeast at Michigan avenue, R and T streets, and at Michigan avenue and First street. Traffic .conditions are exceptionally dangerous at these intersections, Stabler said. The group requested caution signs be placed on North Capitol street to warn motorists that the car tracks are slippery when wet, as these tracks do not have a flange rail. A resolution was passed requesting that street name plates be made more legible and that tree limbs and other obstacles that obstruct clear view be | removed. The Public Utilities Committee was authorized to co-operate with the Btookland association in a drive to eliminate one-man cars on North Cap- ital street. The Streets, Sidewalks and Lights Committee was requested to present the proposed safety measures to the Commissioners. ‘William M. Deving, representative of the Trinity College, presented a plan to close Lincoln road northeast north of Franklin street, which would continue the route to Harewood road by turning right on Franklin street into Fourth street, thence to Michigan avenue and Harewood road. Deving stated that if Lincoln road were widened as proposed, changes would have to be made at St. Mary, Prospect Hill and Glenwood Cemeteries and Trinity College, entailing expenditures of between $40.000 and $45,000. return for closing this end of Lincoln road, he stated, the college would donate land for the opening of Frank- Mo street into Michigan avenue. Selden M. Ely urged the association to approve this measure, because the new route would afford a better ap- proach to McKinley High School. The | group approved the plan. A nominating committee, headed by Guy F. Numbers, was appointed to select a slate of new officers. LA In| THE EVENING STAR, Printing Job Takes 71 Years “Official Records of Are Finally BY DON BLOCH. INIS finally has been written to the largest single job of pub- lishing ever undertaken in the United States. The project began 71 years ago, outlived most of those who initiated it and at one time literally became so weighty as to threaten' the destruction of the building in which it was housed. It was the printing and binding of “The Official Records of the War of the Rebellion.” About 10,000 sets of 138 volumes each were printed, each set contain- ing more than 125,000 pages, includ- ing a 1,200 page index, 178 maps and charts, contributed to by thousands of soldiers and statesmen in as many different forms. There were approxi- mately 1,200,000,000 pages in the en- tire issue of nearly 1,300,000 volumes. Completed in 71 Years, The whole job was not actually completed until September 19, 1935— just 71 years and 4 months after it was begun—when the librarian of the Government Printing Office on that day signed the receipt for part 37, final volume of the vast atlas accom- panying the records, which had just come from the bindery. | ‘The work was first considered by | Congress on May 19, 1864, and the| project called for under appro- | SATURDAY, SEPT. 28 17 -day tickets to Atlantic City $9'3 Similar iow fares to other South _Jersey Shore Resorts Threuth air-conditioned parler cars week-days. all-rail service to the shore daily via Delaware War of Rebellion” Completed. priation of $10,000. Other acts, from time to time, carried on the work desultorily until December 14, 1877, when Capt. Robert N. Scott, late: lieutenant colonel, was detailed to it. The first act which specifically provided for the publication of these records came on June 23, 1874. The “preliminary prints” were recognized as unsatisfactory, but there is one complete set of these preliminary prints in the War Department library. Then, under an act of June 16, 1880, after Capt. Scott had been on the work for three years, came a final definition of the project. According to the act, there was to go forward the “printing’and bind- ing of 10,000 copies of a compilation of all “The Official Records of the War of the Rebellion”—7,000 for use of the House of Representatives, 2,000 for the Senate, and 1,000 for the use of the executive departments.” Under Capt. Scott the work was systematized and the plan finally adopted which was carried on throughout the entire compilation. Capt. Scott died in the midst of the work, and Col. H. M. Lazelle was put in charge. Still later, a board of publications carried on the work under the direction of the Secre- tary of War. ‘There is one name most closely as- ROUND TRIP (coaches only) wia Delowere River Bridge.

WASHINGTON soclated with the work from its in- ception to its completion—that of Joseph W. Kirkley. He was the real compiler, under whose personal ex- amination every volume passed. Joha 8. Mooney, who, as indexer, had a tre- mendous task to perform, is likewise highly accredited in the records. The huge atlas, compiled by Calvin D. Cowles, was issued in 1902, while the last volumes of the records were coming from the presses. At that time also there began the issuaace of a revised edition of the additions and corrections to the records, the latter already printed with the gen- eral index, a separate pamphlet for each volume, to be inserted later. The atlas contains maps of battle- fields, cities and their defenses, parts of the country traversed by both armies, views of besieged forts and cities, uniforms and flags of both Union and Confederate forces, etc. ‘The picture of the project now is this: There are in the Capital com- DALE D.
