Question To Be Determined

The question to be determined is:
Can the slough be transformed into
a lake? In order to definitely settle
this point the proper soundings must
be made of the soil. If competent
engineers decide that the soil is
OF the character that will not per-
nit ~ the creation of a lake. then
the long cherished plans must be
abandoned and in their stead those
which will end in the construction

1925 BEING
MADE
Believe increased Tax ColIec-
tons Will Result in Greater
Appropriations.

Unprecedented and unexpected
tax collections Of the last fiscal year
may have some effect on the esti-
mates of the District government for
1925, it was said today.
Encouraged by the increased col
lections, the Commissioners are said
to feel that Washington taxpayers
are entitled to increased appropria-
tons for the fiscal year, which be-
gins next July.
Estimates of several of the Dis
trict departments, it was learned to-
day, are in the hands of the Com.
missioners. The rest Of the depart
ment estimates will be in tomorrow.
The Commissioners will begin pre-.
liminary survey Of the estimates
probably tomorrow. They will sub
NIT a tentative figure to the Budget
Bureau on August /.
The biggest increases in estimates
asked is by the police and fire de-
partments and public schools. Addi-
tional firemen and police and equip.
ment are sought, while the Board of
Education is continuing it's fight for
more schools.
e A big item IN the estimates, 1t
was said, will be increases in the
basic pay of firemen and policemen
The ending of the bonus next July
affects police and firemen, and the
Commissioners plan to ask a basic
pay increase of $240 a year in lieu
of the bonus.

HOWARD u. TELLS OF
DENTIST SHORTAGE

Interesting data on the number
Of colored practitioners, both dentists
and physicians, released today by

there are sixty-five women physi-
clans, surgeons and osteopaths in

colored female dentists.
The average number Of additional
colored dentists annually Is So,
while there should be 500, Howard

conditions apply to colored nurses.
90 being turned out each year while
600 are needed. There are more
colored physicians and dentists in
New York, Philadelphia, Washing

there are in the Is Southern States,

CITY SAVING MONEY BY
TELEPHONE CAMPAIGN

The District governments cam

making personal telephone calls
over official phones probably will
continue, it was learned today.
Elated over the decrease in tele-
phone calls during the last part of
June-the period when telephone
funds were practically exhausted
District officials feel they can con-
tirue saving money on calls.
Between June Is and June 80,
only 2,196 telephone calls were
made. Before that date between
200 and 1900 calls were made each
day.
Orders were given on July ! to

CASES OF union
. MEN IN HANDS
Of ADMIRAL
Department Will Not interfere
in Matter of Dismissals
From Yard Here.

Rear Admiral Benjamin r. Fer
guson, commandant of the navy
yard, will finally decide whether
Robert Janson, president of the
Machinists' union, No. TIA, and g.
H. Emlet, also a member of the
navy yard wage board, will be
continued in the 100 dismissed ma
chinists or whether exceptions viii
be made in their cases and they
will be retained.
Navy Department officials admit
ted today that union officials had
visited the office of the secretary
of the Navy to intercede for the
two union officials. whose efforts
to gain the 10 per cent wage in
crease played havoc with their eff
ficieiency ratings and resulted in
their discharge, but they declared
that the union representatives had
been given to understand that it
will be a case of hands OFF, at the
Navy Department, and that IL any
thing Is done Commandant Fergu-
son will have to do it.
One of the officers at the Navy
Department who Is. conversant with
the situation declared today that
the fact that Janson and Emlat
were members OF the wage commit
tee in no wise figured in their dis
missal
Statement BY One Officer.
This officer said that the eff
cheney ratings are posted at ire
quent intervals and that any man
can always count up and find out
if he will be included In a discharge
If he knows how many men will be
let out.
1--WE play no favorites." this naval
officer said today. IF the Two
union men are taken back it viii
only mean that two men who
actually have higher efficiency rat
ings and who are just as good men
will be discharged in their place
Regret the Dismissal.
It was given to understand at
the Navy Department that the dis
charge Of any Of the machinists at
the yard is with regret, as those
now there are a survival OF the
fittest, who have successfully es-
capped any number Of previous lay
offs"
Both the Navy Department Off
Gals and union leaders admitted to-
day that there Is no chance OF the
/ Navy Department mourning q def
cit to keep the 100 machinists. as
this would be in strict disobedience
to President Harding's recent or
ders. They also are resigned to the
fact that there can be no way In
which the number can be reduced.
