STAR OPENS POLL
0FDAYL|GHT-SAv|NG
Business Only Partially Fol-
lows Lead Set-Difference
of Opinion Shown.

After more than a weeks test OF
the special brand of daylight-savlng
which was instituted here last Mon
day, there seems now to be consid-
cradle difference of opinion on the
subject. The government Depart
ments generally. the exceptions being
the government printing once ana

Ing. have inaugurated the earlier re-
porting for work with an hour taken
off at the end of the day, but pusi-
ness generally has only partially foi-
lowed the lead suggested by the 40
ton of the departments.
A large number of letters nave
been received by The Star from resi-
dents of the city which Indicate py
their contents that there IS consia-
erable difference of opinion on thls
subject.
Can Make known Choice.
There is only one way to determine
the sentiment of the people of Wash
ington on the daylight saving propo-
sition. and that is by taking a vote.
The Star, therefore. proposes to as,
certain and tabulate the indivlduai
opinions of the people on this ques-
ton and is today printing a coupon
for convenience in voting on the
subject.
The coupon calls for information
as to whether the voter is for the
present brand of daylight; for the
practice, followed in other cities now,
and in use here during the war, or
advancing the hands of the clock one
hour during the summer period. or
for a return to the standard hours.
Making Vote Accurate.
In order that the voting may be
accurate IL is requested that the
coupons be signed by the voter, and
also that the address be given, and
the further information as to whether
the signer of the coupon is in govern
ment or private employ here. Names
and addresses will be treated as
strictly confidential, and the only
purpose in asking that the coupons
be signed is to prevent duplication
and insure the accuracy of the vote.
There has not been a general ad-
justment to the hour earlier report
ing in the morning among private
business firms, and 1t Is this lack of
unanimity on the question which
brought forth strongly the need of
taking a general vote of the populace
as whole. Some firms have opened
according to the plan suggested by
the President and his cabinet, while
others have come only fifteen minutes
earlier and some half an hour. This
has served to make the Washington
brand OF daylight-saving confusing.

DR.. T|NDALL PICKED
TO HEAD BUREAU
Will Establish Information
Office in District
Building.

DR.. William Tindall. who has serv-
ed the District government in various
capacities since 1870, today was Sc
lected by the Commissioners to es-
tablish the bureau Of information
in the District building, announce
ment of which was made in The Star
yesterday.
Having served as secretary to the
board Of Commissioners from the
establishment of the commission
form of government, DR.. Tindall
knows all the "ins and outs" of the
municipal organization and was
deemed best qualified by the Com
missioners to organize the new
bureau.
To Expedite Business.
The purpose of the bureau is to
make it easier for the taxpayers to
obtain information and transact
their business when they call at the
District building.
The bureau will be placed in the
main corridor on the street floor,
where it will be accessible from both
the 14th street and the 1872 street
entrances.
There are probably a score of
offices in the District building with
!" HUI &c VI peiSOlS nave
dealings every day. These offices
are scattered and unless a person is
frequent visitor he may waste con-
siderable time finding the official
with whom he must deal.
DR.. TindalPs Record.
DR.. Tindan came into the District
service in 1870 as secretary to Mayor
Bowen. His next position was sec
retary to Gov. Cooke, then to Gov
Shepherd. From 1874 to 1878 he
served as secretary to the temporary
board of Commissioners, and from
1878 to 1915 he was secretary to the
permanent board of Commissioners.
Since 1915 DR.. Tindall has been en-
gagged in compiling data for the Com
missioners regarding all District
legislation pending in Congress. He
is regarded as one of the best in
formed men on the history of the
District government.

H|GH-PRESSURE
MAINS FAVORED
Commissioners Urge install
lation of System in Busi-
ness Districts.

The board of Commissioners is
unanimously in favor of the installa-
ton OF a system Of high-pressure
water mains in the business section
of Washington as an added protection
against fire.
Col. Charles Keller, Engineer Com
missioner. and Commissioner Cuno II.
Rudolph. chairman Of the board. both
voiced the belief today that such a
project would be a most desirable
improvement. Commissioner Oyster
Col. Keller said that while the need
for special high-pressure fre mains
probably Is not as great in Washing
ton as 1t would be in some other
cities. 1t is a development that will
come eventually.
Data Being Compiled.
Whether this project will be made
an item in the next estimates to Con-
gress will be decided after the city
heads have received the report on
the subject now being compiled by As
sistant Engineer Commissioner Wood,
]. s. Garland. superintendent Of the
water department, and Fire Chief
George S. Watson.
These three officials will go to Bal
umore tomorrow to inspect the high
pressure fire hydrants installed in
that city to protect the many ffgh
buildings that have gone up in the
Monumental city since the disastrous
fire which occurred there some years
ago.
Commissioner Rudolph said he has
for many years been In favor of pro-
viding strong pressure for freight
ing purposes in the mains OF the bus
mess section. He recalled that when
he was serving his former term as a
Commissioner the proposal was advo-
Gated. but without success.
Col. Keller pointed out that one of
the principal arguments for special
fire mains in the business area Is that
they would save filtered water, since
the proposed pipe lines for freight
ing would come directly from the
Potomac river.
The most important result to be OBJ
tanned from the installation of these
mains would be to provide the fire.

Mrs. Hslmick and Aids Expect to
Make Some Concrete
Suggestions.

The committee appointed by the
Commissioners to devise ways and
means of stimulating home building
in Washington may be ready to re-
port its findings to Commissioner
Rudolph June 1. Mrs. Eli A Helmick,

phases of the housing situation have
completed their tasks, with the ex-
ception of the group headed by John
Ihlder Of the United States Chamber
Of Commerce. which is making a sur
vey of available housing accommo-
dations. MI Ihlder has been busy at
tending the Chamber of Commerce
convention and probably will spend
another week on his section OF the
housing committee report.
1t is the hope of Mrs. Helmick that
the committee will be able to max e
to the Commissioners a number OF
concrete suggestions which, il car
ried out, would relieve the housing
problem in Washington considerably.
