TEAR CITY STREETS
Thousands of Dollars in Dam.
age Reported to Repair
Department.

Faced with a greatly decreased ap-
preparation for repairs to streets and
pavements, the street repair department
as result of last weeks storm now has
on its hands thousands Of dollars worth
Of damage done to the streets by We
hicles which tore up the macadam with
their weight and the chains around the
tires which alone rendered vehicular
traffic possible during the heavy snow
fall
Notable among the streets which have
suffered severe damage is Connecticut
avenue. beyond the entrance to the Zoo.
On this thoroughfare to Chevy Chase
and Montgomery county. Md. the pave
ment on either side of the street car
tracks for several miles has been torn
and crushed SO that it is now practically
useless. In some parts of the street there
Is left intact only a narrow strip of
macadam in the middle of the street
car tracks and the pavement outside the
tracks is torn ard crushed. The dam
age, it is said, was caused by heavy
trucks and automobiles which resorted
70 the street car tracks, which were Ear
TALLY cleared. when the side road be-
came impossible.
Suffer Similar Fate.
Other streets in the city have suf-
fered similar fate, although few Of
them have been broken up as badly
as Connecticut avenue. The down.
town streets have been torn up some
what and large holes have made
their appearance in the asphalt be-
side the car tracks, where gasoline
driven traffic travelled during the
heavy snow, but particularly along
the streets and avenues leading to
suburban sections of the city has
the damage been severe. Hundreds
of motorists, unable to use the street
cars Monday and Tuesday. equipped
their automobiles with chains and
struggled downtown, usually running
along the street car tracks, which
were partially cleared of snow.
Heavy trucks, laden with ponder
Gus loads. used the same tracks, and
the result is that constant use of
these portions Of the streets, come
bined with the softening action Of the
melting snow, has split the pavement
into pieces. which broke under the
successive impact of the wheels OF
vehicles.

Repair gangs are already at work
patching the ruts and holes inflicted
on the streets by the skid chains of
automoolles. Maj. F. S. Besson, as

Maj. Bessen said he has spent the
last few days making tours of in

might be supposed from the use of

ONCE ENGAGED TO ACTRESS
Neva Gerber Says Match Was
Broken Of as Unsuitable.

Los ANGELES. Calf. February 4.
-Neva Gerber film actress. who said
she once had been engaged to marry
William Desmond Taylor. slain mo-
tion picture director, said the en-
gagement had been broken off be-
suitable match"
Il have never known a finer, bet

Gerber. He was the soul of honor,
man Of exceptional culture, educa-
ton and refinement, but possessing

his various trips to the Klondike.
lie mad led most eventful life.
and he told me on one occasion of
being In village in the far north
when it was scourged by smallpox.
He went about nursing the inhabit
ants, including priest. The priest
fell victim and Mr. Taylor nursed
him back to health. Then Mr.. Taylor
caught the disease, and after a hard
battle the priest nursed him back
to health.
"In spite of this experience. he often
longed for the far north and he used
to talk about it in the rests between
scenes in pictures. He told me he
had made two fortunes and spent
both of them upon his return from
Alaska.
Often Spoke Of Daughter.
He often spoke of his mother, then
in London. and his little daughter. He
always termed the latter a child and
was planning to bring her to Los
Angeles. 1t was my understanding
his former wife was living in New
York. l always assumed he was
divorced, for, had he not been. he
would not, l believe. have asked me
to marry him. We were engaged for
some time, but broke off the match
two years ago when he concluded
we were not suited to each other.
This terrible affair is all the more
mysterious because it was a common
saying among the studios and in Hol-
lywood generally that Mr.. Taylor had
not an enemy in the world.
He may have made an enemy in
the past who nursed grudge through
the years which finally resulted in his
murder. but he never gave the slight
est indication to me of having any
foe."

THE center of our troubles had
