Gen. Stephan Declares Urgent
Need of Better Highways
SHOULD Arouse Citizens to
Protest Cut. T.. .

Only by wholehearted support
of the District Commissioners in
their estimates for road building,
repairing, and upkeep can residents
OF this city hope to have Congress
furnish the sort of highways the
National Capital is entitled to and
must have, in the opinion OF Brig.
Gen. Anton Stephan, president Of
the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association.
"The estimates of the Commits
sioners for streets .are not a cent
too high" declared General. Steph-
an. Every penny asked FOR rep
resented an urgent need and we
should have the money. 1t Is up to
residents of Washington, through
the various civic organizations, to
unanimously back up the Commits
s!oners in their estimates. We
must show the members of Con-
gress, who may not be familiar
with our needs, that we are united
in our desire for these necessary
improvements or we never will get
the money we need for our streets.
II blieve that we should have
our main highways entirely re-
built. This policy of patching and
repatching roadways which were
never designed for the traffic they
are now forced to carry is wasteful.
Roadway Cut To Pieces.
THE example l have in mind is
Connecticut avenue beyond the
bridge. Here, due to the heavy
building operations in the section
to which Connecticut avenue is the
main thoroughfare from Washing
ton, the roadway has been cut to
pieces. The road bed is too light
for the traffic and has been crushed
to pieces under the wheels of heav.
lily loaded trucks. A new bed,
suited to meet the needs of the
day, should be laid and maintained.
Our highways, especially those
leading into the District from Mary
land and Virginia, should be put
into perfect condition. Visitors COM
ing to Washington by automobile
are confronted by a sorry spectacle.
In Maryland they roll over well laid
and carefully maintained highways.

From Soaring
Airplane
by Universal Service.

ator?

However, on a protest from

vention of Cruelty to Animals,
conveyed to Major Frank by
Congressman Rodenberg, it has
been decided not to permit a
dog to be dropped by para
chute from an airplane at an
aerial show to be given at Scott
Field. ILL.,, for the fields relief
fund.
Rodenberg was asked by the
air service office if any protest
had been made against the
dropping of aviators by para
chute from airplanes. The
Congressman said no, and he
was told a man would be used
instead.
