Uniform Bread Law Proposed-Dis-

Instead Of Dozen.

Tho Central C1tixenS Association BE-
gan its fall work last night BY indors-
ing practically every one Of the big
civic betterment projects recsntly agi-
tated for Washington.
It approved the proposition to sstab-
Nsh the government armor plant here,
and passed resolutions calling upon the
District Commissioners to restrict tho
sale Of revolvers. establish q uniform
bread Law and publish tho result Of any
Investigation as to the desirability Of
establishing q municipal dairy.
Sale Of Eggs by Pound.
It also discussed at length a motion to
recommend to the Commissioners that a
law be passed requiring eggs to be sold
by the pound instead Of by the dozen.
This proposition was lost when put to q
vote.
The armor plant matter carried unan-
imously.
After considerable discussion Of tho
decided that they did not know enough
about 1t to warrant their taking action
They decided that better plan would
be to call upon the Commissioners to
publish all facts that may be developed
by any investigation Of this subject in
order that the public will have every
opportunity to investigate its merits
or disadvantages.
There was slight opposition to a uni
form bread law and restricted pistol
buying suggestions on the ground that
such laws would be impracticable. The
resolutions carried with several votes
to spare.
License to Sell Junk.
By unanimous vote the associati ton
passed a resolution favoring a law un-
der which 1t will be impossible for any
person to sell house fixtures to junk
dealers without having a permit from
the police in the precinct in which he
resides. Reference was made to the
depredations committed on vacant prop
erty. Such a law. 1t was suggested,
would put an end to wholesale thefts
of fixtures.
Considerable discussion was given to
the need of additional apartment
houses and dwellings in the section rep
resented by the association. 1t was
stated that there is a big demand for
such accommodations and that build
ers are overlooking some gilt-edged
investment opportunities.
The association elected to member
ship Oscar Weber, Thomas ]. Donovan,
Robert II. McMackin, Frank di Prima,
