GROUP MAY URGE
SMOKE SAFEGUARD
Arts Commission Expected to
Ask Protection for New
Buildings.

A Recommendation that the Gov
eminent take particular care to in
stall non-smoking heating equipment
and equipment that will not send out
cinderS and SCOT from the new public
buildings to be erected in the triangle
between the Capitol and Fifteenth
street will probably come out of the
meeting of the National Commission
of Fine Arts next Thursday.
Aroused over the damage done to
fine public buildings and monuments
in the Capital by SCOT and smoke
from poorly designed and inefficiently
operated furnaces, the commission
will urge that every provision be made
in plans for the heating plants of the
new structures included in the Gov
eminent $50,000.000 public building
program to make them virtually
smokeless and incapable of emission
of harmful SCOT and cinders.
The commission feels that while q
new smoke ordinance is not needed
at this time, believing the present one
to be adequate, the laws relating to
smoke nuisances should be enforced
to the letter and every effort made to
protect the surfaces of present and
future public buildings by rigid en-
forcement of the law and efficient or

two years hence. The commission
will take up plans for completion of

suggested more than six years ago
when the construction of the tomb
was first under consideration. A con
ference will be held with Thomas E.
Campbell. commissioner general of
the United States for the Interna-
tional Exposition at Seville, Spain
two years hence. The commission
will discuss with Mr.. Campbell the
selection of an architect to design
the 100000 building to go up to
house the United States exhibits at
the Spanish exposition.
Other matters to come before the
commission include a design for the
memorial to World War dead of the
Coast Guard: a design for a memo
rial tablet to the employees of the
Department of Agriculture who died
in the war; design of War Depart
ment barracks and design of memo
rails and chapels to American dead

resolution calling on James G

Citizens Associations, to appoint a
special committee from that organiza.
tion to determine the relation between
The federation and the Citizens Ad-
Visory Council was adopted by the
Dupont Circle Citizens Association at
a meeting in Rauscher's late yester
day aft ernoon. A resolution also was
adopted TO refer the question of chang
ing the system of taxation in the Dis
tr1ct to the associations committee on
: taxation, Rear Admiral Joseph Stra us,
Us. N, retired. chairman, to make a
detailed investigation.
The first resolution was introduced
by Snowden Ashford. 'o.mer Munich
pal Architect. who CIIrGed that the
Advisory Council has been operating
in q manner contrary to the belief of
citizens as to how ii should operate
and who are at a loss to know just
what it's functions are.
Decision to have a study made of
the methods of taxation here was
reached following a detailed descrip-
tion and criticism of the present tax
system by Or. Thomas w. Page of the
Institute Of Economics.
Tax Held Excessive.
Declaring that persons familiar with
the tax situation say the taxes are
unreaSondbly high, DR.. Page said that
high taxes have become such a serious
proposition as to discourage persons
of moderate means from owning
homes in the District.
AT the same time the speaker
strongly advocated a reduction of the
taxes here to "a reasonable amount"
with appropriations to be made by
Congress to pay any additional public
expense not covered by the sums
raised through taxing local residents
following the reduction. Determining
what would be a reasonable amount
offers still another problem, he added
lie severely criticized the system of
special assessments made against
abutting property owners for street
paving, declaring that the property
owners themselves do not benefit any
more by the repairs than do all other
residents of Washington or outside
citizens travelling over the streets.
Seek Building Change.
The association also adopted a reso-
luton to request the District authori-
ties to change the height limit for
buildings along New Hampshire ave-
nue. between Dupont Circle and F.
street from 80 to SO feet, as a means
of keeping that section attractive and
to do away with the danger of lessen

Cameron Highway ;
Plan Would Link
American Nations


A great highway, connecting all
American republics. starting at De-
troit and, running through Central
and South America to Argentina
and Chile was discussed at a con-
ference at the White House yester-
day between Senator Cameron,
Arizona, and President Coolidge.
Senator Cameron was trying to
enlist President Coolidge's support
for a bill he has drawn up on the
subject.
The road would be named the
Pan-American Peoples Great High
way. The Cameron bill would not
call for any appropriation, but
would require the President to APP
point commission to cooperate
with the Central and South Amer
lean republics for the fultillment of
the plan.
Senator Cameron said one tenth
of the highway is already in oper-
alton through existing roads and
that what remains to be done is
the linking together of existing
highways in the various republics.
