Building Code Needed.

Without exception the representa-
tives at the conference agreed That
modern building code was necessary
if Washington is to develop along lines
that will insure symmetrical expan-
sion and retention of as large meas,
ure as possible of architectural ana
esthetic fitness.
During the discussion the fact was
brought out that the original building
code of the city of Washington. for-
INFLATED by President Washington
himself, has never been repealed ana
remains a part of the regulations OF
the District of Columbia A provision
Of this original building code Is that
structures fronting on Pennsylvania
avenue shall not be more than forty
feet or less than thirty-five feet in
height
Decision was reached to appoint a
committee representing the civic or
CARNATIONS of the city. the Washing
ton chapter of the American Institute
of Architects. the Society of Fine
Arts, the builders and contractors or
CARNATIONS, Washington real estate
interests and residents of the District.
The committee is to be named by Gen.
Kutz and is to meet at as early date
as possible to formulate bill in ac-
cordance with the objects sought to
be attained.

Proposed for Next Session.

It also was decided that 1t would
be useless to attempt to press such a
measure at the present session of
Congress, and that it would be better
to take ample time in drafting the
measure for introduction during the
next session. Announcement was
made that several senators and men,
bers of the House favored some such
measure, and that sufficient support
was promised to insure that the bill
when introduced would receive
prompt consideration.

LOCAL BOY ON
MINE SWEEPER
SEEING ACTION
Karl flaming Explains Pro-
cess by Which Apples
Are Brought to Surface.

The following letter to the Pal
ladium Is from Karl w. Hanning, Rich
mond boy, who Is aboard the U. s. 8.
Swallow In foreign waters:
II have received several letters
since entering the service asking for
some interesting event which I could
relate, but at the time of receiving
them I had nothing which could
send. Now since the war is over, the
most interesting article I have seen
In the papers Is the question Of The
League Of Nations. On this question

ing to write on now Is The North Sea
mine barrage.
my reason for writing this is that
I thought that few readers of your
paper would like to know something
OF mine sweeping, its pleasures. dan
gers and soforth. Before I start 1
sweepers are taken from birds, so
don't think ! am talking of birds, In
stead Of mine sweepers.
SWeepers Work Together.
Two sweepers work together. A
heavy cable is run from the stern Of
one vessel to the stern of her sweep
ing pardner. The sweepers are about
I'VE hundred yards apart, and ae they
move forward they drag this cable
behind them, which Is kept on the
bottom by means Of kites. These
kites are weights, made Of brass and
fastened to the cable.
THE mines are planted from a
depth Of twenty-five feet to two hun
dred and fifty feet These mines are
known as apples to the boys on the
sweepers, but the job of picking them
Is not one Of pleasure, as you will
soon see. The mines we are sweeping
are mines planted by the United
States, and to cause them to explode
the ship does not have to come in con-
tact with them, but when a ship or
submarine gets within certain dis
lance from a mine they become mag
net and draw a pin in the mine around
to a certain point which cause the
mine to explode. The greater the re.
sistance, the greater the damage. The
mines are cut loose by the sweeping
cable and those that do not explode
when the cable reaches them come
to the surface and are known as
1oaters, and the only leasure we get
in sweeping mines is the pleasurs OF
shooting at hoaters with a rife.
"The only danger in sweeping the
mines Is that one might explode too
close to the ship, and tear hole In
her side, or 1t may cause a steam line
to burst, resulting In q loss Of property
and the tnjuring of men on watch, or
Il may result In total loss Of ship
and entire crew. With that danger in
mind we steam out to the apple orch
ard to pick a few apples that were
intended for the kaiser's U-boats.
Mines Drawn In.
"One of the most dangerous parts OF
the work is the hauling; in of the
sweep cable. Mines become en-
tangled in the kite and gre hauled in

THREE ASSESSMENTS
RAISED BY BOARD

Assessment of corporations and the
hearing of complaints of taxpayers
continued at the sittings of the county
tax board OF review, Friday.
A city man came In to ask the
board to lower the assessment on one
of three pieces of property. They
lowered this assessment $50, but found
that his other two were low and rails
ed them $500 and $3.50 respectively.
Another property-owner thought his
assessment of $4,000 was too high but
admitted paying $4,000 for the prop
erty. The board made it $4,000.
Only 45 complaints had been made
to the board until Wednesday noon,
an average of about five day. Sew.
eral corporation officials have been
called to explain ambiguous or incom-
plete statements, but none have ap-
peared
