PARK READERS URGED
TO CARRY AWAY
PAPERS

Washingtonians are asked by
Col. C. c. Sheriff., the officer in
charge OF Public Buildings and
Grounds, to refrain from throwing
trash in the parks. Colonel Sheriff.

for care in this respect exists in
Washington. He pointed out that
on Sunday afternoons the parks OF
the city present a disgraceful ap-
pearance, due to the fact that many
go into the parks to read the news
papers and leave them there. The
wind does the rest, he says.
Colonel Sherill has promised to
place trash receptacles in every
place needed in order to end strew-
ing the grounds with trash.

DISPUTES D. c.
HOM||ESCENSUS
Assessor Richards Finds Only
$4,000 Dwellings Here-U. S.
Claims 80,

William P. Richards, assessor for
the District of Columbia. has taken
issue with the statement of the Cen
sus Bureau that there are approx
mately 10000 dwellings in the Dis
trict. He says that the number is
nearer $4,000, with the total number
of buildings in the city at about
$4,000.
MADE HIS OWN CENSUS.
The estimate of the Assessor is
based upon a careful study and count
OF the number of dwellings in the city
by the members of his staff. To sub
stantiate the Assessors count, he says
that there are $4,000 water meters in
stalled in the District and that The
work of installing meters Is more
than IS per cent completed.
Since the war he estimates that 10,-
900 buildings have been erected in
Washington.
According to Mr.. Richards there are
$4,000 brick dwellings in the city; 49,
300 frame buildings; 529 office build
ings; 3,270 apartment houses and flats;
about 1900 garages and SO theaters.
When the Zoning Commission was
working out plans for the zoning OF
the city a count was made by the
commission to determine the number
of buildings in the city. This count
showed approximately the following
number of buildings:
10000 residences, 50 hotels, 1000
apartments, 60 theaters, 1858 build
Ings of other kinds. No count was
made of the number of garages and
two-story flats were classed as resi-
dences.
