Wanted job!
Such Is the appeal OF hundreds OF
letters received in Washington every
day from all parts of the United
States. addressed to the United
States Employment Service, the
Department Of Labor, to Congress
men, and the President.
Many Of the letters are indignant
and written in condemnation OF the
Government national employment
service, through its inability to secure
the writer employment. while the
vast majority Of the letters are filleo
with pathos and ring with true
peal OF poverty and hopelessness OF
the writer's.
A great many OF them contain
pictures OF tired mothers holding
emaciated children in theft al ms.
while larger children cling to her
skirts; other letters contain photo,
graphs of the applicant seeking EN-
ployment, to show that he is strong
and able to work. Not a few from
ex.service men, nude to their waist.
depicting their well-developed chests
and muscles.
Many Write to President.

lief that their appeal for jobs win

Many writer's of letters offer them

Usually in such cases the letter
states specifically that the amount Of

CITY SURVEYOR
OPPOSES Va. AVE.
IMPROVEMENT
Extension to Key Bridge APP
proach Would Cost 81 ,OOO,-
900, Says Hazen.

Opposition TO the proposed exten-
sion OF Virginia avenue to the APP
proach OF the Key bridge at George
town was voiced today by District
Surveyor Melvin c. HaZen, as being
both impractical and costing too
much.
Under the proposal. backed by Ar.
lington County Chamber OF Com
merce and other citizens associa
tons in Georgetown. NJ street would
be widened between Thirty-third and
Thirty-fourth streets, and new ex
tension would be opened TO connect
with Virginia avenue at the lower
end Of Rock Creek Park.
Cost $1,000
This would necessitats the expen.
diture Of more than . $1,000, 900,
Surveyor Hazen said. aid the con-
domination OF a great deal OF private
property and would necessitate the
con struction OF two bridges. and in
the end would be found imprac tical.
Under the plan. all traffic would
be diverted through the parks. This
IL not desired by either residents OF
Virginia or the District. People
from Virginia to do not come to the
District each day to ride around in
the parks. but to attend to their
business.
As an alternative the surveyor has
recommended in his report. dissp-
proving the Virginia avenue extern
sion. the construction OF a Viaduct
over NJ street leading from the
bridge to Prospect avenue. This
would cost sS2 900. according to
estimates OF D. E. McComb, District
engineer. as compared to a cost OF
more than 81 600, 900 for the Virginia
avenue extension.
Would Divert Traffic.
Under the surveyor plan the ap
proach TO Key bridge would be so
constructed as to permit the traffic
to go from the bridge into either
NJ street. or onto the Vladuct. over
NJ. up the hill TO Prospect avenue.
across the Q street bridge. and then
into Massa chusetts avenue. leading
into the heart OF the city.
Both plans. OF diverting NJ street
traffic. or any part OF IL. are being
opposed by the NJ street merchants
association. who claim that II will
.injure their business. District Of
ficials are, however. OF one accord
that when the bridge Is completed
additional traffic space will be need.
ed to handle the traffic passing over
the bridge.
