ALLEN w. DOW RESIGNS
DECLINES LONGER TO SERVE
DISTRICT AS INSPECTOR.

Noicing strenuous protest against what he
terms " the personal injustice done him by
the enactment Of the proviso in the District
appropriation bill which limits his field of
labor exclusively to the District of Column
bia. Allen Wade Dow, for several years in
spector of cements and asphalts for the
District, yesterday rendered his resignation
to the Commissioners. II was accepted to
take effect July l.
In letter accompanying his resignation
Mr.. Dow expressed his regret that Congress
should have seen fit to pass such an amend
ment ''on hearsay and on testimony that he
had not been given the. opportunity to an
swer by combat
Continuing he said. LAS this act of Congress
even prevents an Interchange of technical
and scientific ideas with others In the same
profession, feel it is impossible for me to
fill this, position with justice to the District
of Columbia or to myself" He expressed
his appreciation of the many kindnesses OF
the Commissioners to him while in office
and for their endeavors 10 prevent the
enactment Of the proviso in question.
Ranks as Specialist
Mr.. Dow. who is a graduate of Columbia
College. New York. is regarded as one OF
the foremost authorities on cements and
asphalts in the country. AS a specialist his
services have long been sought by the Off
Gals of other cities in testing paving ma
terials. and the Commissioners encouraged
the carrying on of this phase of AIR. Dows
work because the scope for his labors in
the District was limited and they regarded
II as of considerable value TO the District
because the local government profited
greatly through the inspectors wider eN-
perience. Mr.. Dow was paid for this outside
work. but the time he used was not the
Districts because It was either done by
correspondence or while on his annual leave.
The opposition to Mr.. Dow, IL is claimed,
grew out of the activity of the asphalt
trust which lost several contracts as the re-
suit of some of the District inspectors eX-
periments and tests of their product

To Fumigate Money.

The Health officer, DR.. Dixon,
of Harrisburg, has issued letter
calling upon bank officials through
out the State to assist him IN
checking the spread of disease
by taking the precaution to fuml-
gate money before it passes out
of the banks hands.
"As the germs of disease are
found on money in circulation,
the Department of Health re-
spectfully suggests and requests
that you co operate with 1t in the
protection of the health of our
people by fumigatlng all money
received by your bank before it
is again put in circulation. Such
a precautionary measure, | am
confident, will avoid many cases
of sickness and death in your
community.
THE disinfection ofmoney may
be accomplished byspraying with
a formaldehyde solution or expos.
