OWN BUS ROUTES
Commissioner Keller Says
Consolidation Is Best SoIu-
ton of Controversy.

Controversies over the bus routes
were explained by Commissioner
Charles Keller at a meeting of the
Chevy Chase Citizens Association
last night at the Elizabeth V. Brown
School.
MIR. Keller stated that the Commis-
sioners' offices were deluged by pro-
tests from the street railway COM
panies. who complained that the va
rious routes of the buses were caus-
ing their own revenues to fall off con-
siderably. AT the same time, MIR.
Keller stated, the owners of the bus
lines are petitioning new charters for
other routes. claiming that it is their
right to have licenses granted them
in so much as they help traffic trans
portation conditions.
The Commits ssioner stated that the
only way clear to end the cOntro-
versy. as it seemed to him. was the
car lines to own the bus routes also.
He stated that it was possible for
such a change to be made during the
year.
Commissioner Keller also stated
that the 1923 District estimates in
cluded an estimate for new bridge
over Klingle ford, but that he be-
lieved it had been taken out by this
time. He stated. however. that the
repair work to the east side Of the
present bridge would be completed in
materials had arrived and that work
would soon be started. The planks
on the west side which have recently
been laid are parallel. but the ones on
the east side are diagonal.
Condemnation of the present light
ing system was voiced by the associa-
tion. il being said that the present
street lights ARE only sufficient to
light up the darkness" The commit
tee on street lighting was asked to
, see that prompt relief be made.
The association voted that Nevada
avenue from Mckinley street to Oil
Yer street be paved, it now only being
graded. Mr.. Keller in connection
| with this matter stated that it was
his plan to see that the main arteries
of travel in the Chevy Chase section
be paved first and the less important
streets last. Nevada avenue is one
| of the main arteries and action upon
| it will probably be Immediately taken
UP by the Commissioners.

TURKEY PRICE MAY

Turkeys in Washington were SELL

cording to the Baltimore Sun today.

Ethelbert Stewart, commissioner of

Davis said. These two commodities.

commissioner Stewart tells me that
! the price of turkey in Washington
may go to 70 cents pound for the
same reason. Last spring. cold stor-
age turkeys were thrown on the mar
ket for less than the cost of putting
them in storage. 1t is short sight ed
my part that ig turkey goes to 79
| cents pound, I will eat corned beef
| and cabbage for my Thanksgiving
dinner and Commissioner Stewart
says he will be driven to a substi-
tute."
At the same time, the secretary ad-
ded. statisticians of the Labor Depart
ment inform him that the cost of liv-
ing in general is declining in nearly
all cities of the United States. The
decrease is not great he said, but it
is something. 1T is only theses special
articles wanted at particular sea-
son. like eggs and turkeys, that tempt
to artificial boosting and the public
has way of beating that game -
Secretary Davis concluded.

SCHOOL BUILDING COST
SHOWS SHARP DECLINE
Statement Giving Figures Sent to
Capitol by Assistant Engineer
Commissioner of District.

The cost of building schools in
Washington has taken a sharp decline
in recent months. according to a state
ment sent to Senator Capper Of KAN
sas yesterday by the Commissioners.
The statement was prepared by Maj.
Cary H. Brown. assistant engineer
commissioner. and shows that the new
Eastern High School will be built at
rs cents a cubic foot. The peak price
reached in July, 1920, on the Petworth
School was so cents a cubic foot.
Records at the District building
show that prices began to go down
after the Petworth School had been
started. Six months later an eight
room addition to the Burrville School
was contracted for at Al cents foot.
Two weeks after that an eight-room
addition to the West School was
started at 33 cents.
At 26 cents cubic foot, Maj. Brown
figures, the new Eastern High School
will cost $1,284.929. The limit of cost
allowed by Congress is $1.50O.O00.

upon the American proposal.
The committee, it is stated by high

for upon it has been placed the respon-
sibility of actually deciding the naval
policy of the British empire.
Note Press Discuxsionx.

it Is explained in authoritative quar-
ters that the British object decidedly
to any plan that would tend to cheap

Avoidance Of War.
The British are represented as feel
ing that the conference is not apt to
abolish capital ships because they are
expensive, but rather with the nobler
purpose of avoiding war. a subma-
rine which may be cheaper, they hold,
will not accomplish the object in view
1t was declared with significant en-
phasis that this subject is bound to
loom large in the discussions not only

President of Civic Association
Says No Representative
Is Preferable.

Says Congressional Committees De-
sire to Be Fair, But Lack Per
spectiye of Citizens.

Opposition to voteleSs delegate
in Congress, as representing the LIS
trict of Columbia. was expressed ps
Charles a. Baker, president or the
Federation of Citizens Associations.
in an address at social meeting OF
the Connecticut Avenue Citizens AS
sociation last night, at the ward
man Park Hotel.
Mr.. Baker declared that it would be
better for the District not to nave
national representation II the dele
gate is to be roteless. He pointed
out that in the District public opin-
ion is the only power the cltizens
have along civic lines.
He declared the only mode of pro-
cedure for the people to show their
civic interest is embodied in the civic
associations. ''There is not more
disinterested. patriotic or altruistic
body of people gathered under any
banner than the citizens associa-
tions." he continued. They have no
fat offices to hand out, no enemies to
placate. no friends to reward. They
are actuated only by the desire to
upbuild the District of Columbia. If
we are to make our city the beautiful
privilege but the duty of every one
of you and your neighbors to sup
port such organizations"
Original Idea Outgrown.
In referring to our forefathers. the
speaker said they never foreSaw the
situation growing out of the develop
ment of the city of Washington.
''They laid out the District of Co.
lumoia as the workshop of the gov
ernment. but meanwhile commercial
life and manufacturing enterprises
have developed here on the site of
tn capital of the United States"
He added that the District commit
tees of the House and Senate. which
legislate for the District of Columbia,
are desirous that things be done
along the right lines. But they come
here strangers to the needs of the
District. There is not one of them
but who welcomes suggestions from
the citizens and seeks them through
the vehicles of the citizens associa-
tions. Make them 100 per cent rep
resentatives of yoEr communities"
William 3. WeStlake, former presi-
dent of the Federation of Citizens
Associations. made a brief address. in
which he urged all citizens of the
District to become members of the
citizens associations, and that they
take an active part in it's proceed
inss. He pointed out the benefits
derived from the associations and
urged cooperation between the va
rious bodies.

sociation. presided.

trated lecture on washington, the

CONSTANTINOPLE, November IL
Now that the Turks feel confident
that the allies will no longer be
able to drive them from Constan-
tinople they themselves have started
discussing the advisability Of moving
the capital to a more central place
in the empire. Cabinet ministers and
many generals and intellectuais be-
gan the movement. They give the
following reasons why in their
opinion Constantinople should not re-
main the capital: So long as the
Turkish empire extended as far west
as the Danube Constantinople was
at the center Of the empire, but now
that the nation has lost all its Euro
pean provinces the city is too close
to the frontiers of Christian states
which do not love their former mas
ters.
Hidden Reason Given.
Another reason why the removal OF
the capital to Anatolia appears to be
highly desirable is not mentioned
publicly. This is that the Turks real
ze that they will never again play
an important role in Europe, but are
convinced that sooner or later turkey
will become the center of gravity OF
the Mussulmans in Asia. Many am
bilious Turks cherish the hope that
Mustapha kemals victory over the
allies may mark the beginning OF d
powerful Mussulrnan empire In ASIA,
and consequently the capital ought 10
be on ASiatic ground
=
by those who advocate change OF
location for the capital is the im-
possibility of centralizing the admin
istration. Constantinople is built on
hills. and it is difficult to connect the
differen: sections properly. The in
habitanls spend much of th"ir time
and energy in running from one end
of the town to the other. This. to-
gether with the relaxing climate. has
had a disastrous effect upon the popu-
Turkish slackness is ascribed I"
these causes.

ier place Brusa. which is not far

is mentioned. as a suitable place. 1t
was once before the residence of the
sultans. Champions of the move
ment say that as IS per cent of the
Turkish quarter in Constantinoplt
has been destroyed by fire il would
require an expenditure of at least
S200. 100000 to reconstruct the ournen
houses. The money. they say. could
be better used in building modern
town in Brusa, moving the whole ad-
ministration there. The sultan might
maintain nominal residence in Con-
stantinople to show that the town
had not been abandoned to the Chris
tianS.
