WATER EXPERTS
KID NATURE

The Water Department OF the
District Of Columbia today is being
congratulated by many citizens Of
Georgetown for performing IAN op.
Grafton" on main water artery
with no interruption to the service.
The department on Monday found
It necessary to cut in an extension
to its water main on Potomac Street
near M Street. Cutoff valves in
that part of Georgetown are scarce
and 1t was found impossible to in.
stall an extension by ordinary
plumbing methods. without cutting
off Georgetown's water supply, eaus.
ing a temporary water famine.
An ingenious employee suggested
that the pipes be frozen to the north
and south Of where the break had to
be made. A large supply of ice
failed to do more than chill the water
line. Major Edward III. Groves, of
the water department, then sum.
moned Fred A. Berlin, chief chemist
for the American Chemical Products
Company.
Mr.. Berlin allowed" that the Job
could be done with chemical ice. He
took to Georgetown small box of
this new commodity, which had a
temperature of 100 degrees below
zero.
With the sun beaming down on
the workers, the freezing process to
the big water main was effected in
less than 20 minutes. The cut in
the line was effected. the extension
installed, and Old Sol was then al
lowed to melt the frozen water line.

D. c. PREPARES
FOR TAG WAR

The District Commissioners were
notified by Traffic Director vii.
liam H. Harland today that reci.
procity war" with Virginia over
automobile registration tags is i'm
minent. He urged them to be pre-
pared to meet any overt act' on
Virginia's part.
Forwarding the letter he received
from James NJ. Hayes, jr., com.
missioner of motor vehicles of Vir-
ginia, yesterday, Harland pointed
out to the Commissioners a section
of the traffic act which provides
that the District may extend reci-
procity on tags and permits to nom
residents to the same extent that
similar privileges are extended to
District residents.
III the State Of Virginia Is going
to require residents of the District,
who have temporary places of
abode in Virginia to take out Vir-
ginia tags and secure certificates
of title" Hariand advised the Com
y
for the District to require residents
of Virginia to comply with the
District laws in regard to registra-
ton and permits"
Harland pointed out that Hayes
letter is not very clear and leaves
the matter very indefinite" He an
nounced, however, that the District
will not be the aggressor in the
reciprocity war and will not vary
from its present policy of complete
reciprocity until some overt act has
been committed by the neighboring
State.
He is considering recommending
to the Commissioners that they
communicate with Governor Byrd
Of Virginia in an effort to
straighten out the present unsatis-
factory situation. In view Of the
present indefinite. status of the
case, however, Harland Is in favor
OF policy of "watchful waiting"
