Houses Line Rivers of Mud.
During hearings on the housing

need for encouraging the people to
become home-ownerS and to spread

they must have roads. They have not
waited for good streets. They have
put the savings Of their frugality into

tions. l have seen whole rows OF

I'm these new sections my attention
has been called to the fact that some
of these so-called streets are i'm
passable to an automobile and dan
gerous for children. The people have
put their money into these little
homes. We owe it to them to give
them streets. If we do not give them
streets others who are now congest-
ing our city will not be encouraged
to move out. If we cannot adopt a
policy Of building streets to attract
the people into the outskirts we
ought at least to provide them decent
and safe streets when they build up
100 per cent along where streets
should be. In some Of the sections to
which my attention has been called
the people have been suffering for
streets for several years. It Is time
to reward their patience.
I'm the budget, as reported. I find
provision made only for the principal

to obtain relief for long -sufferin g
residents on the many unpaved and

sections Of the District OF Columbia
when the District budget is taken up
by the appropriations committee in
both houses of Congress. More than a
million dollars was clipped from! the
estimates for highways for the Dis
tricr of Columbia. and when the esti-
mates came from the bureau Of the

fund is only TO be used in paving a
precious few of the main arteries OF
travel into and out of the city to
bring them up 70 something llke

When senators and representatives
were acquainted with the very SERIOUS
plight in which many of the District
property holders and taxpayers find
themselves in being unable to ap-
proach their homes in vehicles many
of them expressed desire to aid In
getting improvements. From such a
condition some owners have been sur

Efforts were made by the highway
officials OF the District to get appro-

they viii have passable streets in
front of their homes they will hesi-
tate about buying and thus delay that
time when the housing shortage will
be entirely relieved.
Committees OF the Washington
Board of Trade and the Chamber of
Commerce are preparing to make
very strenuous efforts to convince

Senators and representatives who

homes and pay taxes on them are,
to say the least, entitled to have
paved streets for the protection of

SALE OF FARM LAND
OF INFIRMARY URGED
TO CUT COUNTY LOSS

That the Wayne county poor farm
is costing the taxpayers more for
maintenance as an infrmary than it
would if the farming land were sold, is
the opinion of the state board of ac-
counts, as given in a report on the
finances of the institution, on file at
the county auditors office.
In the report, the board makes the
statement that it is folly Fer the
county to own and operate large
farms. 1t says: 'It is apparen. that
Wayne county would save money if
the farming area were reduced to a
maximum of 10 to 20 acres, and the
county eliminated from the farming
industry"
According to the figures compiled
by the board of accounts, the per cap
ita cost of keeping inmates for the
poor farm was $500 for the two years
covered by the report, This was dur.
ing the years 1920 and 1921
Sustain Deficit.
In the year 1919, according to fig
ures on file in the office of the county
treasurer, the farm brought in $4,000
and expended $4,000, a deficit of
$12 00e The books show a deficit OF
s23.41241 for the following year.
The county poor farm consists of
q tract of 900 acres located west of
Centerville, and valued at approx.
mately $4,000.
The average population of the
county infirmary is Co. Figures in
the report are based on the assump
ton that the land must pay interest
on its selling value.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-While
high hopes for early settlement of the

ministration, averting any necessity of
sresorting to the drastic action" by
the government repeatedly limited at,
results of the prolonged stoppage in
production are expected to keep the
government coal distributing machin-
cry busy for a long period.
1t was predicted officially for the
administration yesterday that the an
thracite strike would reach its climax
in less than a week. At the same
time. however. it was pointed out that
government information indicates an
existing shortage of S0.000,000 tons
which could not be made up within a
wears time The most recent reports
on bituminous production it was added
show that with full operations re
stored the normal surplus could not be
in storage until next April.
