An appeal for the moral and flnan-

made to the student body yesterday

BORLAND LAW CHANGE
MEETS OPPOSITION

Admitting that the protest of the
Citizens Advisory Council against the
proposed modification Of the BOrland
amendment is likely to lead to similar
action by various civic and trade
bodies in the District, Engineer Com
missioner J. Franklin Bell reiterated
his belief yesterday that Congress
would not approve the advocated
complete repeal Of the law at this
time.
Thus far Commissioner Bell has re-
ceived no support to his plan to mod
ify the act, except from the group OF
representatives Of civic and trade or
ganizations that conferred with him
prior to the drafting Of the bill pro-
posing amendment.
Copies of the tentative draft OF the
bill for modification have been sent to
Il number of trade and civic organi-
cations for consideration, but reac-
tion has been slow. Commissioner
Bell desires to get the views Of the
public as expressed through these
groups before sending the bill to
Congress.
The Borland law in it's present form
assesses abutting property one-half
the cost of surfacing and resurfacing
streets. The proposed amendment
would relieve abutting property OF the
assessment for repairs.

Changing Industries Have

An example Of the increase in female
employment was given as changes in
the artificial silk industry.
When woodpulp was discovered to
be commercially available for certain
grades of paper, men took the places
of women in the basic processes of
manufacture, but this shift was found
to have been offset by the introduc-
ton Of interchangeable parts in the
matchmaking industry, where large
numbers Of women are being employed
to operate machines and to assemble
parts.
