BRIGHTWOOD CITIZENS
BID BELL FAREWELL
Association Presents Commissioner
With Leather Travelling Bag.
Tree Views Given.

The Brightwood Citizens Associa'
ton yesterday paid it's farewell tribute
to Lieut.. Col. ]. Franklin Bell, retiring
Engineer Commissioner, at brief cere.
monies in his office in the District
Building. AS a token of esteem for
Col. Bell the organization presented
to him a leather travelling bag.
Charles Ray. president of the asso-
citation, thanked Col. Bell for the many
courtesies he has shown the body.
William Mex. Clayton in presenting
the bag told Col. Bell that the hostile
feeling toward military control of
the District government, which was
prevalent prior to his detail as En-
gineer Commissioners. had disappeared
completely during his administration.
Mr.. Clayton said, however, that there
was one blot on the horton and that
was the Districts policy in regard to
the widening of streets and accom-
panying destruction of shade trees,
which he said his association opposed.
In his reply Col. Bell defended the
tree removal policy by declaring that
it was absolutely necessary, and in
pointing out that in Is years the trees
on Connecticut avenue would be far
better in appearance than ever before
because a better species of tree will
be plarted in place of those which have
been cut down.

Two outstanding plans for develop
ment Of the area between the Capt.
toll and Union Station were presented
Planning Commission at its meeting
today, and, according to indications
will be more fully developed and sub

Each plan called for an avenue run

would terminate at Peace Monument

The two alternatives, submitted by

cided to continue with still more in
tensive study and leave the decision

.NUNCESSERQUEST
AIDED BY TRAPPER
Man Tells of Hearing Plane
Along Ste. Marguerite
River May g.

CHICOUTIMI, Quebec, June IL
Hope for the safety of Nungesser and
Coli, missing French aviators, rested
today on trapper's story that an un-
seen airplane had droned out Of hear
ing behind storm-swept mountain
along the Ste. Marguerite River on
the night OF May 8. the day the flyers
were expected in New York.
The story, told by Georges Rousseau,
SO years old, who returned from his
traplines in Bersimis, created new in
may have been forced down in the
wooded silences of the northern regions
of the province.
Heard Plane Whirring.
II had injured my leg" said Rous.
seau, land could not go step farther,
so I resigned myself to camping for
the night on the banks Of the Ste.
Marguerite. Toward Z o'clock in the
evening, the wind blew up into a gale
and the snow began to fall. 1t was
one of the worst storms we have had
in this district.
Suddenly / heard the noise of an
airplane. 1t was bad night and it
was difficult for me to see anything.
Another reason why l couldn't see 1t
was because there is mountain ex.
tending up from the river, hiding the
airplane from view. The plane passed
on the other side Of this mountain-at
least two miles from me.
Lights Theory Abandoned.
"The noise increased in intensity and
became almost deafening. Twice the
motor stopped. Then. little by little,
the noise of the plane faded away In
the distance and merged it's noise with
the storm. 1t went toward the North
in the direction of the Peribonka
River"
If the airplane had continued on its
route, Rousseau said, it might have
become lost in the Peribonka district.
The region, densely forested, is sell
dom visited by hunters and is sparsely
populated by 'dians. Rousseau ex'
pressed doubt that anyone could be
located in the district by airplane.
Belief that mysterious flares, report
ed seen in the Saguenay district, may
have been signals from Nungesser and
Coli was abandoned with receipt of
messages that the lights were those of
Price Bros. Co. powerhouse at Chute
Aux Galets, about 35 miles east of st.
German.
