MAXIMUM GRADE
Of SIX PER CENT
ON STATE HIGHWAY
Commission Decides to Have Two
Consulting Engineers for Pro-
ject-Width of 20 Feet.

Two engineers will be i'll charge Of
the Memphis-to- Bristol highway pro-
ject. One of these, Atwell Thompson,
was selected at meeting of the high
way commission held Tuesday at the
board of trade. Mr.. Thompson will
have charge of the western end of the
road, from Nashville to Memphis. The
second engineer will probably be sent
by the national department of roads,
the matter now being under considera-
ton. Another meeting of the commits
sion will be held on September 10, at
which time the matter will be decided
An all-day session of the highway
commission was held, beginning at II
o'clock in the morning and ending at 8
in the afternoon, with no intermission
for dinner. AT the meeting was V. M.
Teierce, of the department of public
roads, Washington, who happened to
be in the city on other business.
In the matter of securing aid from
the government, the counsel of Mr..
PIERCE was much appreciated. 1t was
his opinion that government engineer
could be secured by the middle of Oc-
tober or the first of November.
A maximum grade of 6 per cent. for
the highway, with authority in the
discretion of the engineers to make it s
per cent. in especially difficult places,
was agreed on. The width is 10 be
twenty feet, of which a central strip
twelve feet wide is to be metalled.-

the cast-off clothing, shoes, hats, caps,
ETC., that was given to the ashmsn or

in our Sunday-schools and day schools
if they only had proper clothing TO go
with?
The Salvation Army is making a
desperate appeal to the people who
have plenty to share with US to bring

To Full Membership.

Following upon his cali yesterday for
meeting Of the directors of the Cham
her of Commerce 10 consider what stand
that body will take with respect 70 the
Gal1inger bill. Capt. Oyster. president of
the chamber, today said that he had de-
cided to refer the decision of the di-
rectors TO the full membership for APP
prevail.
Inasmuch as the members OF the cham
Der first acted upon the bill, Capt Oys,er
said that they should he the ones to
snally determine what shall be the atti-
tude of the chamber. The directors VIII
take up the matter at special session
TO be held Monday afternoon at o'clock
and II Is expected that full meeting OF
the chamber will be called for the latter
part Of the week
Capt. Oyster said he had been criti-
cised for holding up the chambers action
but that he was convinced the bill had
been acted upon before it's conditions
had been thoroughly understood, and he
was not willing that the chamber should
go on record in any matter about which
there might be doubt as to its conflict
with the half-and-half principle. This
principle. he declared. could not be re
iterated too often.

Bills Are Not Alike.

James F. Oyster. president of the Cham
Der of Commerce. called upon Commits
Sioner Rudolph the day the bill was re
ferred to the Commissioners Capt. Oys-
ter has often expressed himself as
firm advocate of the hah-and-half princi-
pie. He and Commissioner Rudolph read
the bill carefully. and compared the dis
puted passage as to repayment Of funds
10 the Treasury with the corresponding
passage in the law appropriating money
for the purchase of Meridian Hill. The
playground bill is said to be modelled
after the appropriation act for Meridian
Hill. According TO Commissioner Ru-
dolph the Meridian Hill act and the play
ground bill are directly contrary in their
meanings and wording
For the purchase of Meridian Hill as
park, he said today, the law Is dis
tinctly worded So that the half-and-half
principle must be adhered to. The way
the playground bill is worded would make
u pay half the cost of the playground
and then pay back to the government
the other half In four equal installments.
In the Meridian Hill matter the govern
ment advances the total sum and we pay
our half on the installment plan.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1911-06-16
Half to Be Repaid.

The playground bill reads. And for
that purpose the sum OF $4,000 is hereby
appropriated. payable one-half out Of the
revenues of the District of Columbia and
one-haif out Of any money in the Treas
ury not otherwise appropriated. and then
il goes on 20 say further that one-half
of the $4,000 shall be reimbursed TO the
treasury in four equal installments In
other words. the District finally pays the
entire $1,000.
In the Meridian Hill appropriation act
the language, after outlining the bounda-
ties Of the land TO be bought, says that
the government will pay for the said land
and premises so taken and the improve
ments thereon the sum Of $4.0.60. or so
nucn thereof as NAV be necessary, which
sum is Lereby authorized out of any
money in the Treasury Of the United
States not otherwise appropriated
I'm that act the entire sum Is 10 be
al, anced out If the Treasury. Then the
act goes on 10 say that one-half Of the
sum appropriated may be reimbursed
20 the Treasury by the District. The two
propositions are entirely dissimilar."

new complication in the Mount Pleas
day, when 1t was found at the District
building that the Commissioners will give
consideration to the proposition to pur-
chase Fairgrounds that have been Of
fered TO them at less money than the
cost OF the site at 18th street and CO.
lumbia road A big site is offered near
18th street and Columbia road, and an
other one on Park road near Lamont
and 18th streets. 1t is certain that these
sites have been offered at considerably
less than the 18th and Columbia road site.
Exactly what sort OF q report the Com
missicners will make on the matter 1t is
not possible TO ascertain at present, as
the Commissioners do not make advance
statements of their communications to
Congress. II is certain, however, that
the two sites, and perhaps others, will
be spoken of In the report to Congress.
Violates Partnership Pact.
As for the terms of the bill over which
the Chamber OF Commerce and others
have been arguing whether or not it is
framed in violation of the half-and-half
principle of appropriation in the District.
the Commissioners will take the stand
that the bill If enacted would violate
that partnership agreement, and will sug-
gest amendments.
The bill vas sent to the Commissioners
early this week with the regular formal
printed request for the report as to the
desirability of the measure. 1t was re-
ceived at The District building about the
time the members of the Chamber OF
commerce were discussing the advisa-
biiity of having a special meeting to con-
sider whether the measure would violate
the half-and-half principle of District ap-
preparation.
