Nearby Virginia Property Ex-
pected to Increase in Value
With Progress of Bridge

Beginning work on the new me-
mortal bridge over the Potomac is
having its eject on Virginia prop.
erty. Lots in the various subdi-
visions in this section are reported
20 be selling fast and numerous
homes are under construction
Realizing the great benefit the
bridge will be to the Virginia sub
urbs, people are buying property
with the expectation Of building
homes that win in a few years be
worth much more than the present
cost. There is little doubt that
property values win increase to a
great extent and it will be only a
matter of very short time before
the entire section is built up into
q wonderful residential section.
New subdivisions will no doubt
be opened very rapidly and will
probably meet with little difficulty
In selling. The opening of Rose
mont Park by H. B. Terrett will
interest hundreds who are anxious
to secure desirable building lots in
virginia.
This property, located on the
Alexandria car and bus lines, is
especially well laid out and has a
commanding view of the George
washington Memorial, which is
nationally known for It's beauty and
etateliness.
Mr.. Terrett states that he is
placing three hundred and three lots
on sale and that he expects them
to be readily sold, giving as his
reason thar he has priced the lots
especially low and that people realize
the great increase in value OF prop
erty that will necessarily follow the
completion of the Memorial Bridge
across the Potomac.
Twelve homes are already stand
ing on the property which is served
with gas, electricity, pure water
sewerage, paved sidewalks, wide
streets, etc., and Mr.. Terrett ex-
poets many more houses to be
erected during the coming summer.
In discussing the subdivision Mr..
ferret says: II have had a great
number Of years experience in sub
division work, but have never
handled a piece Of property that is
% conveniently located and Well de-
veloped as Rosemont Park. There
is no doubt q great demand for
suburban property now and people
are beginning to realize that prop
erty in this section is bound to in
crease in value faster perhops than
In any other section around the
city.

HERALD HARBOR
PREPARES FOR
CROWDS
Popular Summer Colony Exc

Visit Beach

How many times will that state.
ment be made this summer and
where will the swimming be done?
That is a question Of vital inn
portance to Washingtonians and one
that is hard to answer.
With the closing of the Tidal
Basin the Capital is left with few
places suitable for bathing and
hundreds or perhaps thousands OF
people will take advantage of the
few beaches around the city, as
the municipal pools will be entirely
too crowded.
The condition IS relieved to very
great extent by the opening last
year of Herald Harbor, on the
Severn, the beautiful summer colony
that has met with approval Of some
two thousand Washington families
who have purchased building lots
there.
Anticipating the great crowds
that will no doubt visit the beach,
the Herald Harbor Company has
spent large sum of money in
improving the beach by widening,
laying board walk and erecting
new bath houses.
They have also arranged with
the w. B. & a.. Railroad for a
dollar round.trip ticket on all trains.
All roads leading to the property
have been greatly improved so as
to make driving real pleasure and
four gasoline tanks have been
placed at the harbor for the bene-
fit OF motorists.
1t is the opinion Of the writer
that Herald Harbor is supplying q
much needed resort to washington
that will be highly appreciated and
well patronized.
The club house, under the watch
full eye of the Dutch Girl" is
undergoing a complete renovation.
A new dining room is being install
ed to take care OF more guests. The
big, old fashioned rooms are being
painted and papered to make it pos
sible to have all the cleanliness and
comforts of home over the week
end. Flower beds with sprouting
bulbs are making their appearance
all along the top OF the hill and the
newly planted trees are beginning to
break out in green.
In the spirit of policing up the
entire grounds, the dogwoods are
coming out to help do their bit.

what we want.
The roads to the beach have had
their share of attention and two

invites you to drive that way. The
curves have been Strengthened, hills

thing to be proud of now. Up the

work. That road is now open to
two.Way traffic and only heavy
trucks take the old corduroy hill.

NEW YORK, April 1s.The lives
Of 1000 passengers on the MUM

dangered today when the vessel
crashed into the Bronx, her sister

No. 1, off the Battery.
Owing to the dense pail Of fog
which settled over New York and
vicinity, Captain McCafferty Of
the Queens did not see the Bronx
and was attempting to pilot his
vessel into the slip.
Although the Queens was so badly
smashed that she was put out OF
commission no passengers were in.

when the Bronx loomed up out Of

An investigation to fix the blame
for the accident was ordered by

RINGING DOWN THE LAST CURTAIN
ON BEVERLYS POLICE FORCE

But why did they get so all dress
ed up with plenty of places to go
and then never go. 1t can be said
with little fear of contradiction that
more rum has been sold in Beverly
during recent months than during
any like e-prohibition period. Open
air cunning clubs have sprung up on
and street practice has apparently
met the approval of the Police.
Judging from the performance of the
Police during the recent midnight
frolic on w. Warren street they too
have formed cunning club of their
own. Their feeble raids on rum SELL
ing places have been the joke of the
town. They pass by the big fellows
who dispense 900 of the illegal rum
and raid little fellow who was al
ways tipped off from some source,
presumably unknown. Our Police
can't find the big fellows even
though one of the officers on his
beat travels path dangerously close
to the worst offender.
Had the Police case of Tuesday
night been held at an earlier date it
might have been called joke but
the matter is now far too serious.
When the Committee will go to
L
such length to protect an officer who
openly disobeys the laws he is hired
to enforce, it is time to call halt.
The charge of drunkenness against
this officer was not substantiated.
But why? Why did the Lieutenant
of Police spend most of the day Tues
day together with his employers car
and time securing the city for wit
nesses to testify in favor of a man
he knew to be wrong? What was the
motive of the Chief of Police at the
hearing when he refused entrance to
the public for matter of great
public Importance and of interest to
every taxpayer in the city? Why al
so did he especially refuse admission
to all newspaper reporters and place
a constable at the door to keep them
out? Why were only few men
called to testify and only those
whose statements were known before
hand to be favorable to the officer
they wished to protect? Why too,
was the testimony not taken under
oath? Would the same answers have
been received?
A worse abuse of authority has
never before occurred in our city.
What misdemeanor must an officer
perform before our Chief of Police
would consider him disqualified to
enforce laws and give US police pro-
lection? We wonder if murder
would be sufficient.
This tyranny must end at once
1t is no longer tollerable. Council
must give us relief. They must
strike to the root OF the matter.
They must remove the cause OF
such fragrant police maladninistra
ton
If it is because of the stubborn,
fool-hardy and unripe judgment of 3
man drunk with power, then we
must follow the customary procedure
and "off with his head"
Council would indeed be unwise to
permit the scathing denunciation now
being heaped upon the Police Com
mittee to extend to themselves be-
cause of indifference.

DIATE ACTION.
