AIRPORT PROGRAM
UP.I0 CITY HEADS
ErNAh
Other Measures Will Be Sub
mitted for Presentation
to Congress.

A tentative program Of legislation
partments of the District government
was drawn up today by Roland NJ
Brennan, chief clerk, for considera
ton of the Commissioners. The pro
gram contains three new bills and
FIVE old measures which died in the
last Congress.
Outstanding among the new legis
lation proposed is bill providing for
the establishment of municipal air
port at Gravelly Point. An appropri
alton Of S15O.000 for making prelim
mary surveys is contained in this
measure. which was framed by Maj
w. E. r. Covell. senior Assistant En-
gineer Commissioner. In it's present
form the bill would require the Fed
efal Government to pay one-ha1f OF
the cost of the survey.
Would Abolish Fees.
The two other new bills are design
ed to put the inspector Of steam boil
ers on a statutory basis and abolish
the fee system of remuneration nov
in effect and TO provide for the reg
ulation Of electricians. The Office o.
the inspector of steam boilers Is th'
last remaining fee Office in the munich
pal government.
Important among the five old bill.
which the engineering departments
recommends for reintroduction are
ones providing for the opening o.
Fourteenth street through the Wal
ter Reed Hospital reservation and the
retention of a section of the Aque
duct Bridge for conversion into z
recreation pier. The legislation fol
the opening Of Fourteenth stree
through the hospital grounds had th'
support Of numerous civic and trade
orga niZations in the last Congress. i
also was strongly advocated by Lieut.
Col. j. Franklin Bell, former Engi
neer Commissioner. but indications
are that his successor, Col. William
B. Ladue, is not as keen over the de
STABILITY of extending the stree
through the hospital reservation.
Other Bills on Program.
Another Of the old bills advocated
for reintroduction Is designed to giv'
the Commissioners authority to con
demn certain parts of Federal-OWne'
property in order to open streets. Th'
lack of authority to condemn Fedora
property has DELAYED the opening o
Forty fourth street, Reservoir road
South Dakota avenue and Trentol
street northeast at Fourth street.
Old bills providing for the amend
ment OF the act regulating plumber
and gas filters and for the acquisition
of the Fort Reno subdivision for I
reservoir, school, playground and parl
purposes, complete the tentative pro
gram Of legislation.
