ANACOST|A SECTION
IMPROVEMENT PLANS
Association Hears That Long-Staud-
ing Needs Will Be Com.
pleted by June.

The announcement at the November
meeting of the Anacostia Citizens AS
sociation last evening that the work of
improving Nichols avenue and the south
approach to the bridge would be COM
pleted by June 80, 1915, caused much
favorable comment. With the improve
ment of the avenue also will be includ-
ed the placing of all overhead wires
underground, including the street rail-
way system. 1t was stated that new
system of street lighting would also
be installed and had been ordered a
few days ago.
Much discussion was held regarding
whether or not the property owners
would be required to stand a portion of
the expense Of improving the avenue
and the conclusion reached that 1t was
believed they would have to. congress
appropriated $30,500 for the work,
which is enough to complete the same,
it is believed, but the passage OF the
Borland amendment makes it compul-
sorry that the abutting property own,
ers pay a portion of the cost. 1t mao
been figured that each owner would pe
assessed approximately S1.23 per run
ming foot for the work.
The question of a suitable location
for the proposed new Eastern hlgh
School was discussed at lehgtn, with
the result that resolution was passed
asking the authorities that 1t be To-
Gated somewhere in the section south
and east of East Capitol street.
The question of securing cross-town
street car line was considered, and the
route proposed was by way of 1lth
street southeast from q street, where
the Anacostia cars now turn to go to-
ward the center of the city, as far as
East Capitol street. This would be a
short extension and give street car pa
irons an opportunity of reaching the
northeastern section of the city with
out the paying of two fares or the los
ing of much time i'll riding to the CEN
ter of the city and returning.
Charles Z. Graft, chairman of the
committee on Anacostia flats, presented
a report concerning the work there.

WASTE IN FOODSTUFFS
CAUSE OF HIGH PRICES
John n. Sherman Explains In
creased Cost of Living Before
Housekeepers' Alliance.

That the waste in foodstuffs has re-
suited in increased prices was the dec
laration of John H. Sherman. super
intendent of weights, measures and
markets of the District. in an address
yesterday afternoon before the House.
Keepers Alliance at the home of Mrs.
L. B. Swormstedt, 2 Thomas circle Mr..
Sherman's subject was What the City
Is Doing to Standardize Food Prices,
and What the Homemakers or Buyers
Can Do to Meet the Situation"
Mr.. Sherman said that until this
waste is eliminated prices will remain
high. He said, however, that he did
not want it understood that by elimi-
nation of this waste there would be a
general reduction in prices, but that 1t
would tend to keep prices from getting
any higher Mr.. Sherman said people
must expect to pay these prices as
long as waste continues and declared
that this is the biggest problem now
oefore the department of markets. He
told of conditions in 1896 when he
said there was a general drop IN prices
of footstuffs, but declared that in 1900
they rose again and have continued to
rise.
He said that the farmer who sells his
goods through the commission mer-
chant has to stand the loss for all
wasteJ as the commission man gets
only i percentage on the sales for
coodstuffs in good condition. The health
department., he said, compels the COM
mission man to get rid of the bad ar
ticles, and thus the farmer suffers. On
the other hand, he said. when food
tuff is sold through the wholesaler the
taste i'll the article is paid for by the
consumer. He said waste averages
about 60 per cent. and that the whole
saler puts such a price on the article
that when it is purchased by the con-
sumer the waste matter is thus paid
Cor.
The session was largely attended. 1t
vas announced that the Reference Cir
Gle is again open for use of members
from to II am. Miss L. Whitaker,
the secretary, is in charge.
Mrs f. l.. Ransome. chairman of the
committee on cooperation, reported
that plans have been made for the

of such laws as shall maintain in our
