The street-widening program for
1928 was resumed by the District
Commissioners today with one major
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF the
widening of Thirteenth Street North
west from Street to Massachu-
sets Avenue.
The work was suspended 10 DAYS
ago as result of protests from
lovers of Washington shade trees,
which were being destroyed.
The Commissioners decided to pro
coed with all of the widening pro-
gram. including that on Connecticut
Avenue between Dupont Circle and
Florida Avenue. but TO postpone
until Congress convenes the widen.
ing of Thirteenth Street.
The appropriation for the Thir-
teenth Street widening will be avail
able until July /, 1928, which viii
give plenty of time to do the work
after Congress passes on the mat
ter.
The Commissioners decision was
announced following a special meet
ing today attended by Traffic Direc-
tor William II. Marland' and Of
ficials Of the higway department.
In their announcement the Com
missioners pointed out that the
Connecticut Avenue project had
been specifically ordered by Con-
gress. although It had not been
recommended by the Commissioners.
ut is manifest" the Commission
ers said that to devote so feet Of
the 130.foot street width to side
walks is not q well balanced utiliza-
ton Of public space.
1.-THE widening Of Connecticut
Avenue will provide more adequate
and business traffic conditions and
replacement Of the present trees
by those OF a better variety will
CT tie a finer tree system in the
not distant future"

DEFINES oLEoMARGARIHE

According to Burns Poe, Collec-
tor OF Internal ikeFenue, certain
specified products and all other COM
pounds made from vegetable or ami
NAL oils, or combinations thereof and
"churned, emulsified, or however
mixed, colored to look like butter"
have been declared by the Bureau
of Revenue taxable as artificially
colored oleomargarine.
The manufacturers and producers
have been notified that on and after
October /, 1927, such goods found
on the market without proper stamps
will be subject to seizure. IA similar
notice has been sent to all oleo-
margarine manufacturers.
Cooking compounds placed on the
market in good faith as such and
which do not resemble butter in
flavor, texture or appearance are ex-
empt from the tax on oleomargarine.
The number of pounds of oleo-
margarine produced during the last
fiscal year was 234,956,753, an increase
of 32,740,so3 over the preceding fiscal
year. At the beginning of the fiscal
year, July 1, 1926, there were 81 oleo-
margarine factories in operation.

except possibly to apricots. The
