WISCONSIN AVE. TAX
LEVY IS EXPLAINED
Engineer Commissioner Says
Money Goes to Purchase of
New Right Of Way.
ADDRESSES CITIZENS BODY
Street Car Company Attitude De-
lays Widening of Street.

Assessments which have been lev
led against holders of property abut-
ting on Wisconsin avenue We're made
for the purchase of property in order
to obtain Il right OF way and not for
the purpose of paving the roadway.
Cemmissioner Bell told members OF
the Cathedral Heights Citizens Asso-
citation at IL meeting in ST. Adams
Parish Hall last evening.
Maj. Bell had been asked to en-
Tighten the association on the meth
DDS employed in arriving at tax deci-
sions. Many property owners. it was
said. We're under the impression that
the assessments against them in re-
cent years has been for the resurfac-
ing of Wisconsin avenue. but the
Commissioner explained that the first
principle involved was that of gain
ing right of way. The money SO
received, he said. went toward the
payment OF damages and to expenses
incident to condemnation proceedings.
The Cathedral Heights association
has been vigorous in its efforts to
have this thoroughfare improved and
the car tracks moved to the center of
the roadway, but il was brought out
that the traction company had threat
face the expense Of moving the
tracks.
Admits ROadways Had.
Commissioner Bell admitted that
many of the roadways in the city
We're in very bad condition. but the
commissioners were unable to relieve
the situation as rapidly as desired be-
cause Of insufficient appropriations.
He also spoke on coming, and asked
the association to uphold the zoning
commission.
Mai. Raymond 4. Wheeler. chief
assistant to the Engineer Commits
sioner. said the cathedral authorities
were mainly responsible for the de-
lay in widening Woodley road. Maj.
Wheeler gave credit to theV assoca-
tion for bringing about one Of the
greatest changes in the zoning law
that Of the creation of the restricted
area. He said that an estimate Of the
cost for Improving Wisconsin avenue
road would be around s350.000. and
that this is the amount allotted by
the budget bureau for the entire
city's s15,000.h0O worth of streets.
Out of respect for the death of the
late Woodrow Wilson a dance which
was to have been given by the asso-
citation at the close of the business

PROGRESS OF RADIO
TOLD BY ENGINEER
First Marconi Wave Sent Out
Travelled Less Than Two
/ Miles.

The progress of radio since the first
actual signals by Marconi waves were
sent and received a distance OF one
mile and three-quarters to the pres
ent-day feat of sending a message
from Pittsburgh to Calcutta, India
was outlined by L. l. Norcross. radio
engineer attached to the Washington
office of the Westinghouse Manufac-
turing Company, before the Engi-
neering Society of George Washing
ton University last night
The Engineering Society is composed
Of about $50 students taking courses
in the university's College of Engl-
neering.
Early Experiments
In his lecture Mr.. Norcross told of
the first actual wave message sent
nearly two miles in 1896, the next
wear it was increased to four miles,
and in 1899 jumped to eighty-hve
miles. In the years 1901 and 1902
two inventions that made present-day
radio facilities possible were brousht
into use, the magnetic detector. hrst
worked by clockwork, and tne fiein-
ing oscillating valve.
The steady progress was kept up, ne
.1plained. until in 1914 Maj. Arm
strong invented regeneration. In
1915 the radio compass was invented
and in 1921 the first broadcasung sta-
lions were licensed.
Mr. NorcroSs declared that Win
the invention of the Super-regener-
ator the feat accomplished by the
westinghouse radio relay system In
sending a message from Pittsburgh
TO Calcutta last month was accom-
plished- He explained that this was
obtained without the use OF lano
wires.
Uses of Radio Detailed.
The various uses Of radio were de-
tailed by Mr.. Norcross, who showed
a picture of a church in Pittsburgh
suddenly minus a pastor which SEM
out a hurried call for radio equip
rnent. which resulted in the congre-
cation having its Sunday morning
service and sermon from another
church.
A moving picture, THE Mystery
Box" explained the working of the
radio broadcasting apparatus and the
transmission of the air waves anC
their reception in the receiving set
Radio waves travel at a speed tha'
would carry them seven and hall
times around the earth in a second
and if one could sit on radio wave
he would be conveyed to the moor
in one second and a half, explained
Mr.. Norcross.

CHARLES F. MURPHY

The death of Charles f. Murphy of Tam
many Hall removes from the political scene
figure upon whose influence in the coming
Democratic convention certain elements were
counting heavily. It had been freely pre-
dicted that he and three other bosses, in
cludiuk Tom Taggart Of Indians, would pick
the Democratic nominee, a prediction that
was quite generally resented throughout the
rank and file of the party. His death will
have some effect, to be sure, but it must
be remembered that Murphy owed his chief
Importance to the position he occupied as
head Of Tammany; but Tammany still ex-
lists and another will be selected to espouse
lie program. just as its program was not
materially altered upon Murphy's own access
sion to leadership. Charles f. Murphy was
q strong personality, but another equally
strong will be chosen to succeed him. The
party still has Tammany on its hands, and
VIII do well to exercise the same wariness
in dealing with it's agents as ever.

THREE CITIES GROW ApACE

The people of Gadsden and the two near
by thriving communities, Alabama City and
Alfalfa, are to be congratulated on their
growth as set forth in the new 1924 city
directory This indicates that Gadsden has
population of 1880, while the populations
of Alabama City and Alfalfa are given re-
spectively as $3.50 and 3,1s5. The total
estimated population of the three cities is
2S1S5. e.N
Gadsden and its neighbors have grown
rapidly in population because that district
has made long strides in the march of in
dustrial, civic and educational progress.
With a fine climate, attractive scenery, a
fertile and healthy surrounding territory. a
splendid type of citizenship and many other
advantages to invite desirable investors and
home-seekers, the future of Gadsden and its
neighbors is assured. Much has been ac-
complished in industrial and community de-
velopment within the last few years; yet
indications are that that favored section will
show much greater advancement in the next
decade
