TAKES FIRM STAND
ON HOSPITAL SITE
Columbia Heights Citizens Associa-
tion "Avowedly Opposes" Up

4 That residents of Columbia Heights
are "avowedly opposed to the location
of the municipal hospital at 14th and

Columbia Heights Citizens Association
held last evening at the residence of
President Frederick J. Rice, 1902 Co.

This declaration was made after the
matter had been brought to the atten-
tion of the committee by Secretary ].
Clinton Hiatt, with the assertion that
Congress is now finally determining
on the location for the hospital Reser-
walton thirteen-the Jail site-as well
as that on Upshur street are being con-
sidered. he pointed sSU
To Appeal to congressman.
Lively interest in the matter was ex-
hibited by members and arrangements
were made for certain of them to call
on friends in Congress and point out
to them the great damage which would
accrue to the Columbia Heights sec
tion if the hospital is located on the
Upshur street site
1t was pointed out that members of
the Piney Branch Citizens Association,
In whose territory the Upshur street site
is located, are conducting a systematic
campaign to prove to members of Con-
gress the detriment the hospital would
prove to their section.
Now that reservation 13 is in such
splendid shape. and w tn such a large
acreage due to the reclamation work,
cannot see why Congress does not
at once decide to place the hospital
there. one member exclaimed as he
pointed out the location at l4th and
Cpshur streets would prove a great
drawback to the Columbia Heights sec
ton.

This gave opportunity for thousands who work until 6 o'clock to mass themselves along the route until the congestion became so great that transportation was tied up. Gen.

Intercepter Sewer 1-25th Done
 After Eight Months Work

The intercepter sewer which is be- ing constructed in Railroad and Bost- wick avenues, will not be finished in four months, the date set in the con- tract, according to the report of Ed ward DeVoe Tompkins, contractor, engaged on the work. Although eight months has passed since work was started, only 1-25th of the job has thus far been completed and at this rate it will take 16 years to finish it.
 However, the sewer and paving com mission hopes to get the work done entirely within that time and so gave MT. Tompkins a banning" last night
 when he appeared to explain the slow ness with which his force was pro- ceeding. The contractor claims he cannot get help for any wages and that negro foremen who came around in high power automobiles declined his offer of $50 8 week. Laborers are scarce, according to the contrac- tor and he has had difficulty in get ting materials. MT. Tompkins as- serted that inasmuch as he had S15O,- 900 tied up in the joh. he was some

POLICE SEARCH FOR INCENDIARY
 IN FORGE FIRE
Ammunition Awaiting Ship ment Perilously Near to
 Big Blaze.

The state police, insurance under writers and fire department heads to- day started rigid investigation of the ire which gutted the plant of the Paterson Forge Co.,, East Main street, and caused a damage of $12,OO0. The report that workmen or members of the firm had entered the plant shortly before the fire broke out at 9:45 last night to repair damn ges to parts of the machinery of the steamer Sea board" which was tied up at the freight dock is engaging the attention of the authorities.
 According to statements made to the police, by members. of the crew of the .Seaboard'' the ship was about to make her trip to New York last night when parts of the machinery broke and disabled the craft. She tied up at the north side of the N. r., N. H. &. H. R R. docks, generally piled high with cargoes of explosives await ing shipments
 Arrangements were made to have the damage repaired by the Paterson Co.,. 1t is reported. whose shop adjoins the freight dock. James Paterson, head of the concern, states he left the plant at o'clock and his son asserts he did not know anything about the fire until he arrived on the scene to- day.
 The blaze was undoubtedly of in cendiary origin. Witnesses assert there was sudden puff. and the whole structure burst into flame. Fear that the blaze would spread to the freight dock and perhaps explode cases of ammunition awaiting ship ment was at, first felt. The capable handling of the flames by Chief John son soon dissipated this apprehension.
