NEW PLAN TO RID
CAPITAL OF SLUMS
Major udson and Frederick L. Sddons Suggest the Con-
version of Unclean Alleys Into Minor Streets and
Levying Special Tax for Fund.

$4,000 year, and with It the alley
sIums, ii Is believed. could be wiped out
in a few years. The tax would not be
a burden on any one individual or class
and the benefits would be enjoyed by all.
in that the health and morality of the
community as a whole would be i'm
proved.
The existing law for converting alleys
into minor streets is ineffective because
It provides that the damages shall bE
assessed as benefits against the property
in the block in which the alleys are To-
Gated and against the four surrounding
blocks. The Commissioners found, in
attempting to operate under this law.
that condemnation juries would not find
benefits sufficient to offset the damages.
As there was no money with which TO
make up the difference, the opening up
of minor streets had to be abandoned.
As result, the District Is at a stand.

cerned.

plan. Mr.. Siddons expects to lay 1t be-

Town to Be Completed
In Six Months Time

The making of patch of Kentucky
wilderness into town of 10000 people
within six months was commenced to-
day when the Postoffice Department or
dered the establishment of the jenkins
postoffice.
Jenkins will be the headquarters of the
Consolidated Coal Company's operations
in Pike and Letcher counties, Kentucky.
1t will be the center of the activities
of the company which owns and will at
once develop thousands of acres of rich
coal lands there. Though the site OF
Jenkins Is but a bit of wild land now,
1000 homes will be made there within
six months; 1900 persons will be domi-
ciled there. Senator Watson of West
Virginia is at the head Of the company.
Because of the unusual nature OF the
case the Postoftice Department waived
the ordinary waiting of three months
required as a preliminary to the estab
lishment of a postoffice and granted the
request of Representative Langley ~
Kentucky that it be established at
once. George D. Campbell was named
postmaster.

Be of good cheer.

BE OF SOO0 CneeT.
It's entirely possible that Washington
will actually get rid of its alley slums.
A brand-new plan for Graduating these
fostering ulcers on the municipal body
has been evolved. II it pans out, the
slums are doomed.
The men who are working on the new
plan are Major w. V. Judson. Engineer
Commissioner of the District, and Fred
erick L. Siddons former memser Of the
Roosevelt Homes Commission, and legal
counsel OF the housing committee OF the
Monday Evening Club. The latest plan,
which Major Judson and Mr.. Siddons
feel confident can be carried to success,
is this:
To make minor streets through the
blocks that now contain alley slums.
and to pay the small margin between
damages and benefits from fund TO be
created by a special tax levy of l cent
on each 500 of value OF the real estate
and improvements of the District.
This would mean that the property
owners of the District at large would
bear all that part of the expense repre-
scented by the difference between the
benefits and damages found by con-
demnation juries in each case. The
damages, 1t is estimated. will always be
a little greater than the benefits, and
it is proposed TO make up the deficit by
purely local taxation.
Some Opposition Likely.
This proposal may arouse some op-
position, but it is founded on the belief
that Congress cannot be induced 10
make an appropriation to cover the diff
ference between benefits and damages.
Mr. Siddons has been working on the
alley slum problem for several years,
and is convinced Congress will never
consent to meet the expense of appro-
priation on the half and half basis.
Major Judson has been investigatins.the
alley question for year, and has ar
rived at the same conclusion.
Both Major Judson and Mr.. Siddons
believe the only way the District can
have the minor streets cut through and
the slums abolished is to pay the bill
itself. The need for actual progress in
wiping out the slums is SO imperative
they believe the property owners of the
District should consent to the small tax.
There are between 125 and $50 blocEs
whose interior is a network of alley
slums in which people reside. The little
alleys, crossing and recrossing eac1
other. contain rows of novels that house
white and black under conditions highly
INJURIOUS to health and encoura ging to
immortality and crime. The final solu-
ton OF the problem thus presented must
be the opening up OF minor streets, ex-
tending clear through the blocks. When
this is done Objectionable conditions wSl
automatically remedy themselves.
Fund to Wipe Out Sums.

now considering a levy of cent on each
500 of the assessed valuation of the
District. This would produce fund of

Newton and the Apple.

While the great Indiana apple show
is getting golden opinions from all
sorts of people, it NAV not be out of
place to recall that, besides the much
talked Of apple episode in the career
of Adam and Eve, this fruit has been
popularly credited with the most stu
pendous discovery achieved by the
brain of man the discovery of the
attraction of gravitation. Voltaire
tells the story briefly and SIMPLY:

the fruit fall from tree (as his niece,
Madame Conduit has informed me,
entered into profound train OF
thought as to the causes which could

traction"
In Brewster's life of Newton the
date of the drop of the apple is given
as 1865. Another story is that an i'm.
Fortunate man, not a newspaper re.
porter, came to Newton and asked him
of his great discovery, and exactly
how it came about. Whereupon Sir
Isaac told him an apple fell on his head
and at once the attraction of gravita-
tion was made clear to him. Probably
this is the apple that thereafter was

called the Newtown-pippin. Indian

HOOD RIVER SOIL
GROWS BIG POTATOES

Once an lrishman. who had Just come

wan of the pertaties grows as big as

been exhibited by James English, of
