D. c. COMMISSION
WILL ASK $475,OO0
FOR MORE LIGHTS
Charities Boa, Gives
$3,000,000 Estimate
For Activities.

The District Commissioners will
ask Congress for S475.000 to increase
washington>s lighting system for
the next fiscal year, according to
an authentic source yesterday.
The need for more street lights
in the outlying sections long has
been known by District officials
and efforts have been made each
year to have the system extended.
For the present fiscal year Con-
gress has granted s430.000 for this
purpose. An extra 100000 was ap-
propriated for gas lamps and fix
lures with electric lights.
In the appropriation bill now In
effect a total of approximately
s55o.Oo0 was granted to the cleo
trical department The biggest in-
crease this year will be In the es-
innate for extensions.
Charity Estimate $1,000. 900.
An estimate of s3.ooO.0oo has been
turned over to the District Com
missioners by the Board of Chari-
ties. This sum covers all the vari-
Gus activities coming under the
board. Approximately the same
amount was asked for last year by
the Board of Charities
While it was expected that the
board would ask for the sl5O,00O
necessary to complete the proposed
Home for the Feeble Minded. it
is now known that this item will
be omitted Last year Congress
authorized $250.000 for this home. of
which 100000 was appropriated.
Approximately s1.5oo.o00 has been
estimated as sewer department needs
This IL
double the sum asked for last year.
which totaled s766.o0O. Congress
granted S552.
Sewer Extension Needed.
The big need in the sewer depart
ment is the extension of the storm
sewer system into the suburban sec
tions of the city. During the recent
heavy rains many streets were badly
damaged by washouts.
While the Commissioners intend to
ask for an extension of this system
they will limit it to a request cover
ing those sections seriously damaged
and will ask for a further extension
next year.
The sewer department this year
will find it necessary to connect their
mains with the sewer systems OF the
suburban towns lying in Maryland
This must'be done in accordance with
the recent agreement with Maryland
whereby better control will obtain
over the sanitation of streams rising
in Maryland and flowing through the
District
Increased Water supply.
Among the large increases that this
years estimates will include is one
providing for approximately $1,000
900 for continuing work on the project
for increased water supply for the
District. Last year Congress author
lied sS.73S,Ooo and appropriated
81. SOC. 900.
The item for street cleaning In this
years estimate will approximate
s450,000. according to figures sub
mitted. During the past year the
sum used for this purpose was
s405.0 900
For disposal of city refuse the Com
missioners are preparing to ask for
s9S0.000 This is an increase Of
$50, 900 over last years estimate. Con-
yress granted s750,000.
The estimates all have been turned
over to the District Commissioners.
rhe figures are being carefully pruned
and probably will be subject to some
reduction.

A E.R.

John Pepri, of Absecon, a former
sailor in Uncle Sans navy, showed
that one can learn to swim in Abse-
con Greek as well as any other place,
when he captured a third place in a
long distance swimming ace held in
the Schuylkill river last Saturday.
He was only prevented from taking
first place by cramps, as he had a
th~ree-quarter mile lead at the two
mile mark.
Pepri visited Philadelphia and en-
tered the race thinking that he would
have no chance against champion
swimmers who were entered. He led
from the start, and was going strong
when a cramp seized him and forced
him to stop swimming. He drifted
down the river for eleven minutes,
seeing swimmer after swimmer pass
him. After the cramp left him he
managed to pass the majority OF those
who had left him behind, and finished
third.
Not being a member of a swimming
club, he has been invited to join the
Philadelphia Swimming Club, and will
wear their colors in the future.
