STANDARDS BUREAU
PARK AREA URGED
Interested Citizens Send
Brief to Civic Bodies to
Boost Project.

Creation of a public park about
100000 square feet in area, just
south of the Bureau of Standards has
been made an objective of the Rich
mond Park Citizens Association.
The tract is wooded valley
through which runs branch of Rock
Creek which empties into the main
stream about 200 yards south of
Pierce Mill.
Spot of Beauty.
The boundaries of the proposed park
are Sedgewick street and the Bureau
of Standards on the north, Rock Creek
Park on the east, Rocman street on
the south and Thirty-seventh street
on the west. Connecticut avenue
would bisect this area. The tract Is
described as one of the most beautiful
natural valleys in the District which
rapidly is being encroached upon by
building operations.
Another advantage urged in a brief
being sent by the association to all
organizations interested in civic activ
tiles is that it would be a definite link
in the highway system and would
enable motorists in time to drive over
a completed highway from Anacostia
through Potomac Park, up the Rock
Creek Parkway to Rock Creek and
then through this proposed park 10
the Glover Parkway and thence back
to Georgetown and into Potomac Park
again.
Area Well Wooded.
The area is covered with beech, oak,
hickory, gum, tulip, red cedar and
pine trees. There are profuse 'growths
of dogwood and redbud. All the
native birds now are found in this
woodland.
The tract, it is pointed out. is not
we'll adapted for building operations.
1t is deep, narrow valley Expensive
grading and filling operations would
be necessary to develop 1t for houses.
The brief also stresses the importance
of saving this tributary of Rock
Creek which is fed by natural springs.
A further reason is advanced that the
environment Of the Bureau OF Stand
ards would be protected. The projec
has been Endorsed by the director of
the bureau

HI AlN TRI CHS AND
A~DII' ROADS

I, IS entirely proper that at this
line o. the year the state should b
loubly cautious regarding the
weight Of trucks using the public
Highways, and a realization Of this
responsibility accounts for the al
most daily arrest OF truck drivers
throughout the state. The roads are
n their sottest state at this time,
and as the frost IN the ground thaws
even the besc paved roads are in
jurad il no oversight attends the
weight @: loaded vehicles.
The campaign 70 keep the weight
Of trucks within bounds at this time
has nothing directly in common
with the tendency Of the motor
vehicle department to curtail the
weight Of trucks the year round.
What would be a load too heavy for
the roads at thls time Of the year
would be well within reason at 9TH
ST times. The common sense and CO.
operation Of truck owners at this
lime iz Of vital importance in pre-
servirg the roads from unnecessary
damage.

WRONG WAY TO IMPROVE
RAILROAD STATION

Slowly and perhaps surely some
Improvements" are being made to
that venerable pile known as the
New Britain railroad station. They
are not yet noticeable TO the public
eye, but they are coming; in fact,
the vast improvements viii begin in

Ever since the Chamber Of Com
merce committee got to work on
the railroad station some degree Of
susceptibility on the part Of the
management has been noticeable.
The perintendent in New Haven.
in fact, listened with ears primed
as if for music. He agreed to do
almost anything the c. Of c. desired
except build new station. Any
thing but new depot is the New
Haven creed in this city.

ted for the great passenger station

RAILWAYS FIGHT

Decision Reducing Freight
Charges on California Fruit
Shipments Again AssaiIed.

Further attack was directed by West
ern railroads yesterday against the
Interstate Commerce Commission de
cision reducing freight rates on Cali
fornia fruit moving to the East. The
decision already has been made the
subject of general protest by the rail
roads most concerned and a delay
Of one month has been allowed be.
fore its provisions become effective.
The protest yesterday came from the
Great Northern, Northern Pacific
Milwaukee and Oregon-WashinEto
Railroads. In a joint petition they
asserted that they did considerable
business in the eastward transporta-
ton of California fruit by routes
traversing Oregon and Washington,
and contended that while the origira
decision applied specifically to rate.
maintained by the more direct South
ern railroads on transcontinental bust
ness, the Northern lires also would be
made to make the reduction.
If they do make the reduction order
on California fruit, the petition said,
they will be forced to reduce rates on
Oregon and Washington fruits. The
commission was asked to reopen the
whole matter in order to allow new
evidence to he presented.
The fruit rate controversy began
when the commission decided that
deciduous fruits other than apples
moving from California to the astern
half of the country should be given
rates lower by 13 cents per 100
pounds than present charges because
