CITIZENS WANT HEARING
ON WIDENING OF STREET
Insist They Will Suffer Financially
Through South Dakota
Avenue Plan.

Strong protests against the proposed
widening of the roadway of South Da-
kota avenue northeast without first
having given the property owners a
hearing on the matter were made at a
meeting of the Rhode Island Avenue
Suburban Citizens Association last
night at the Sherwood Presbyterian
Church, e2d street and Rhode Island
avenue northeast
1t was explained the engineer depart
ment of the District proposes to widen
the street to forty feet. adding ten feet
to the present width. It is the proposal
of the government to take five feet OFF
each side, which, it was said, will take
away part of the lawns of many of the
residences. This, it was said, will
necessitate the expenditure of consider
able money ON the part of the property
owners in moving hedges and setting
walls and reshaping terraces.
A resolution asking the Commissions
ers for a hearing on the subject was
unanimously adopted.
Annual reports of various officers and
committees were given. all of which
showed progress in the work.
r. r. Symons. the president, was in
the chair. 1t was announced the an
nual election of officers will be held al
the March meeting.

PROTEST AGAINST PLAN
TOExTEND OFFICE TENURE
Montgomery County Commissioner
Claim Right to Name Health
Officers.

Special Correspondence OF The Star
ROCKVILLE, Md. February 24.-The
county commissioners for this county
here yesterday protesting TO the coun-
tvs representatives in the legislature
against the passage of the bill intro
duced by Delegate Paul Y. Waters of
this county providing for an extension
of the term of Office of the health Of
ficer of the county to May ], 1918.
AS the law now stands, the term of
the present health officer terminates
May l of this year. The resolution
charges that the plain purpose of this
attempted legislation is to deprive the
present board of county commission
ers of the power to name a successor
to the present official. as by law it is
now authorized to do. To accomplish
this purpose local and political in ma
ture, general state law is sought to
be amended, and for that reason, If no
other, the end and the means adopted
are vicious in character"
The resolution further sets forth that
the county commissioners are RESPONSE
BILE to the taxpayers of the county for
the proper and efficient conduct of this
important Office, and charges that the
effort to prevent the present board of
commissioners from naming this coun-
ty official is solely an effort to serve
political ends and to make the office
subservient to factional politics"
A copy of the resolution has been
sent to State Senator Jones and Dele
yates Laird, Brooke, Waters and Gard
ner.

Methuselah

Methuselah, that grand old
gent. saw centuries pass by; the
generations came and went. and
he refused to die. No doubt
among the ancient ranks the fad
dists drew their breath, and he
was told by health board cranks
Just how to sidestep death. l
seem to see them at his side, and
hear them give advice. Eat pre-
digested hay, they cried, that
has been kept on ice. Sleep out
OF doors in rain or gale or you'll
be on the blink: boil all the air
that YOU inhale. and fry the things
YOU drink. Eat less than half OF
what YOU wish, put sawdust in
Your bread: if YOU are fond of
beef or fish. eat liverwurst in
stead" The faddists sprung their
spells and died: Methuselah shed
tears. but would not take them as
guide-and lived nine hundred
years. His voice across the dis
lance calls a cheering word to
me: Il ate ice cream and Goldfish
balls and was from sickness free.
l filled myself with scrambled
eggs. and steaks from slaughter, d
steers, and pranced around on as
tive legs for near thousand
years
