SWIMMING POOLS
CONTRACT AWARDED
Loehler Firm Gets Work of Build.
ing Bathing Facilities at
School.

The firm Of G.. G. Loehler Co.,
Franklin National Bank Building, was
awarded the contract by the office of
public buildings and public parks yes
terday for construction of the swim
ming pools and bathhouse at the new
Mckinley High School, which is to be
the first of proposed group Of bath
ing centers in various parts of the
city.
BY making certain adjustments in
the plans the contract price. has been
brought down to $79,950, q figure
tiles to proceed with the project. 1t
was necessary for the director of pub
lie buildings and public parks to
make these changes in order to leave
sufficient funds in the available ap-
preparation of S150,000 to provide for
another swimming pool layout adjoin-
ing the new colored junior high
school near Twenty-fourth and N
streets northwest.
The Mckinley High School project
will consist of a bathhouse and two
pools, one for beginners and the other
for trained swimmers.
Following the dismantling Of the
Tidal Basin bathing beach, the Ma.
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission decided to recommend a
chain of neighborhood bathing cen.
ters in preference to- construction of
a large central bathing beach. Con.
gress at the last session provided
funds for one white and one colored
bathing center. and the planning com.
mission has under consideration now
new bill to authorize extension of
the system.

LAW TO BOND TAxIS
HELD UNNECESSARY
Brand Believes Commission Does
Not Need Legislation-Bride's
Opinion Asked.

The plan Of the Public Utilities
Commission to force all taxicab own
ers and operators in the District to
furnish indemnity insurance as a pre-.
requisite to obtaining a license may
be put into effect without special leg
islation, it was indicated today by Col.
Harrison Brand, jr.; vice chairman Of
the commission.
Although the commission has con-
templated asking Congress for legis-
lation to give it complete jurisdiction
over all taXicabs, Col. Brand believes
that the District Commissioners
already have sufficient authority to re-
quire the cab owners and operators
to post a bond or indemnity insur-
ance before a license Is issued. He
has asked Corporation Counsel w. w.
Bride, who, also is the commissions
general counsel, to make q study of
this question and submit legal
opinion to the commission.
If Mr.. Brides opinion confirms his
belief, Col. Brand said, the commission
could obtain its aim without legisla-
ton by having the District Commits
sioner pass an order requiring the cab
owners and operators to furnish a
bond or indemnity insurance.
Complaint has been made that to
require the cab owners to, provide
indemnity insurance probably would
force some Of the small operators out
Of business. Col. Brand pointed out,
however, that if the small cab owner
is financially unable to furnish in
demnity insurance or put up a bond
he Is the one who should be excluded
from operating vehicles.

zON|NG CHANGES
SET FOR HEARING
Commission Also to Consider
Regulation Amendments at
Meeting October 10.

Four proposed amendments to the
coming regulations will be considered
by the Zoning Commission at public
hearing in the boardroom Of the Dis
trict Building October 10, it was an.
nounced today at the commissions ex-
ecutive office.
One of the amendments is designed
to eliminate provision in the regula-
tions which would prevent the erection
Of semi.detached houses in A restricted
areas after January 21, 1928.
In place of this regulation the COM
mission will consider an amendment
creating a new area to be known as

cy shall be the same as for the "A
area district; and there shall be two
side yards, which together shall be
not less than Is feet wide. and of
which neither shall be less than
wide for each foot Of building height,
nor less than 2 inches wide for
each foot of building lengths. Pro
vided, further, that buildings in this
area shall be erected or altered for
use only, as wholly single-family
dwellings,"
The other proposed amendments are
designed to prevent the erection or al
teration of any building in the "a re.
stricted" districts for use as apart
ment houses, flats or hotels, and to
provide for the erection of community
houses in IA restricted" areas pro-
vided there are two side yards not
less than 10 feet wide and rear
yard not less than 10 feet deep.
Four proposed changes in coming
also will be considered at the hearing,
as follows:
Rezone to B restricted area all B
area property lying south Of Calvert
street and west Of Wisconsin avenue;
change from second to first CONNER
cial property on the south side of M

teenth streets; rezone from residential
to first commercial, property bounding

from first commercial to residential C.
area property on both sides Of Mime

Col. James A. Moss, director general

Capture Young Minds.
"Agents of Soviet Russia know they
can't teach an old dog new tricks"
Col. Moss said "They realize that the
only waysto make headway is to cap
ture the young minds of America. The
youth movements are in large meas
ure fostered by radicals.
1T is estimated there are nearly 500
communist publications being turned
out in America at the present time
and 81 100000 is being spent monthly
to promote radical activities and
propaganda.
1--WE have little to fear from the
radicals pictured with the black

is dealt with easily. The real danger
is in our schools, where insidious
propaganda is being spread among the
children and teachers alike"

BOARD Of TRADE
ENDS TAX SURVEY
Results Said to Prove Theory
That Capital Residents
Bear Unfair Burden.

Completion Of its comprehensive tax
and assessment survey of the larger
cities Of the country, with results SUBJ
stantiating the belief Of Washingtoni-
ans that they are bearing more than
a fair proportion Of the expenses of
the National Capital, was announced
today by the Board of Trade.
The results of the survey, which will
not be made public until later, will be
laid before the members Of the munic-
ipal finance committee and the Off.
GERS and directors Of the Board OF
pm. next Friday, in the offices Of the
organization in The Star Building.
Joshua Evans. jr., chairman of the
committee, will preside.
Will Go to Officials.
At that time. it is understood, plans
will be formulated for the preserlta-
ton of the facts relating to the fiscal
relations of the District and Federal
Governments, as shown by the sur
vey, to the District Commissioners
and to Congress.
While the details Of the survey were
not mace puDllc tOudy, OInClaIS OF Lne
board who conducted the survey re-
ported that the results obtained
showed conclusively that Washing
tonians pay per capita tax that is
comparable with that paid by the
taxpayers Of the largest cities Of the
country.
Further Survey Planned.
In making the survey the Board Of
Trade sent comprehensive question
naires to officials of 80 of the larger
cities of the country asking data re-
garding the tax rate, assessments,
bonded Indebtedness, amount Of tax
exempt property, the per capita tax
paid and other pertinent matters.
To substantiate further the point
that local residents are paying more
than an equitable proportion of the
expenses Of the District, the Board Of
Trade plans to send out in the near
future a similar QUESTIONABLE to many
Of the leading bankers Of the country
asking them for evidence in the form
Of tax certificates on property speci-
flying amount which has been sold in
regular sales transactions.
