D. C. Engineer Officials No Longer
Enjoy Exclusive Use of Autos.

District government engineer officials,
who have had automobiles at their ex-
elusive disposal. lost some of their
Thanksgiving ardor today, when they
were notified to surrender all cars to
the new municipal garage. from which
the vehicles in the future are to be
requisitioned for service. The melting
pot" order means that there will be a
considerable number of vacant spaces
around the District building which
heretofore have been occupied by the
cars of the engineer oficials and used
by them at will.
Under the new arrangement the Of
ficials will have to apply to the garage
for any car that may be available. The
order affects about nineteen heads of
engineer offices, who up to now have
had special cars at their disposal
The new garage, which represents an
expenditure of about $4,000 for land
and building, is located on the south
side of ID street between 18th and 13ia
streets northwest 1t will be used only
for the storage of passenger cars in
