from their homes.
Not until practically the whole ghetto

Russians abated. Men, women, and
children suffered alike, and today there
are coo homeless people IN the town.
The police made no EFFORT TO check the
mob.

MORROW ANSWERS
HEPBURN CHARGES
Commissioner BlameS Con
greSS and Wants to Know
Where Inspection Is Lax.

Engineer Commissioner Morrow this
morning issued a statement IN reply 70
the charges made by Representative
Hepburn, in The Times, yesterday, re-
garding the alleged poor condition Of
paved streets in Washington. Commits
sioner Morrow takes exception 20 the
claims of Mr.. Hepburn that there is not
One-half mile of good pavement in the
District, and chiefly 10 the Iowa Repre-
sentative's claim that inspectors neg
leCt their work and repeatedly permit in
feTiOT material TO be used in construct
ing the rOadbed."
In taking exception 20 the charges
Commissioner Morrow said.
Il have written TO Mr. Hepburn TO
ask him for any specific instance of bad
pavement or lax inspection, and have
promised 20 take the necessary steps
10 correct IT,
Il have also invited his attention to
the fact that the pavements Of Wash
ingtOn viii compare faVorably with
those Of any other city. and that the
reason that some Of the older payements
are not IN good condition Is that they
have OutliVed their usefulness, and
should have been repaired years ago.
but, owing 10 the paTsimOniOus action
Of Congress, in refusing 10 appropriate
the sum asked by the Commissioners for
Tesurfacng, II has been impossible to
improve their condition.
The life Of an asphalt pavement s.
about twenty years and the period when
most of our asphalt pavements were
laid was about twenty years ago, so
that many Of them are wearing out.
The Commissioners have asked Con
gress for several years for increased ap-
preparations for TesuTfaCing these pave
ments, but It has not been until lately
that their requests have been granted.
In the recently enacted appropriation
