BEAUT|F| CAT|ON
DISCUSSED At
CHEVY CHASE
Citizens at Annual Meeting
Hear Reports of improve
ments Effected

Plans for continued Identification
OF the village Of Chevy Chase, Md,
SO that II. may retain the distinction
!, of being one OF Washington .
prettiest suburbs, were discussed
last night at the annual town meet
/ ing of the residents of Section 3.
which embraces most Of the terri
tory between Chevy Chase Circle
and Bradley Lane.
! The encroachment OF the city
upon the suburb, with the tendency
of speculative builders to make the
most economical use of the few
and highly priced lots now avail
able, will be met with constant
vigilance on the part Of the Citizens
Committee, it was announced by
George p. Hoover, president.
Existing regulations requiring the
spacing Of houses relatively far
apart will be enforced rigidly, and
every attempt OF builders to impose
city standards upon the suburb Will
be fought, 1t was announced.
Constable Appointed.
Frederick r. Parks, the village
manager, gave his first annual re-.
port, enumerating the improvements
that have been effected. Announce.
ment was made that Mr.. Parks has
been appointed q constable, so as
to give the village police protection
during the day.
A lively debate was started when
1t was proposed to withdraw from
private use all public park space
now being cared for by individuals.
1t was pointed out that in numer.
Gus cases, where there are no side
walks or where lots lines do not
extend to existing sidewalks,
property owners have, for purposes
Of Identification, treated this vii
lage property as their own, in many
cases extending hedges and plant
ings on 1t.
Matter Is Tabled.
Mr. Hoover said there was no
question that the park space could
be withdrawn from private use and
developed by the village. whenever
1t saw fit, but he felt that this
policy should be put into effect
gradually and only when the resi-
dents Of a particular locality actual
" requested it. A sweeping order
withdrawing all such property from
private use. he said, would be
revolutionary; putting property
owners under heavy EXPENSE
saddIing still heavier burden
upon the village, and putting the
village to the necessity Of beautify
ing property that now is cared for
by individuals.
The whole matter was tabled until
the next annual meeting.
The special tax levy to take care
OF village expenses was increased
from As to SO cents per 500 Of
valuation Village receipts for the
next year are estimated at $24. 900
and expenses at $22, $40

Col. Steese Says Road

Iu a letter recently received from Dan Sutherland, Delegate from Alaska, he mentions the subject of road con- struetion in the interior of Alaska. The following paragraph is of partic- ular interest:
 1T have taken up the matter of the Long, Toketna road with Colonel James 0. Steese, recently, and he informed me that there was about 's35, ,0ee spent on the Tocotna end of the road this past season. He tells me that it is his intention to fully complete the road into the towu of 0phir next season, and it is his purpose to spend at least s35,. GOO on that end of shs project. and somewhat more provided hs obtains an E increase in appropriation from Obn- gress I have been urging the -ep- larged allotment for this tproject flor some time, as Ttbelieve that If this road could be completed from either end into the Cripple creek kcountry it would bring about considerable placer and perhaps quartz mining develop ment. I have long believed that in the unfrozen ground on Cripple there must be some good placer deposits, but believe drill will be required to dem onstrate values"
