operates on a policy of expecting
fees of guardians to be kept at a
minimum. The bureau, he said,
would be extremely rigid in cases of
the administration of trusts and the

able to control the situation under
present laws, he said it would go to
Congress for new legislation.

CATION of property owners in that

Capt. II. G.. Whitehurst, assistant Dis
trict Engineer Commissioner, and
Leonard Robertson of the Highway

small lake in Manor Park, which
backed up into yards and cellars on

ed gardens, flooded cellars and caused
other damage. in addition to forming
potential health menace due to
stagnant water
The committee, headed by John ID.

sewers and streets of the Manor Park
Citizens Association, explained that
the conditions are due to the fact that
the surface draining pipes installed
under the lately filled portions of
Third, Fourth, Peabody and Quacken-
bos streets are either too small or
have become clogged by sand, mud
and silt.
After the heavy rain last night l
was called by the residents to investi-
gate the situation" said Mr.. SmOot.
II found a lake of some acres in ex-
tent had been formed south of Quack-
enbos street along the line of Piney
Branch several feet deep. The pipes
were not carrying off the water. re-
sulting in the flooding Of the north
side of Quackenbos street, extending
to Rittenhouse street"
Mr. Smoot also advised the officials
that the storm washed out temporary
pipes laid under Third street across
Sheridan street. The officials promise
to investigate.
