own initiative. Most of these priests
went with the rebels as chaplains, he
said, adding that no archbishop, bishop
or priest has with the sanction of the
church sustained the rebel movement
in any form.
He is one of two Catholic archbishops

PLANS TO REMOVE
STORMS REFUSE
Stagnant Pools OF Water
From Recent Rainfall Are
Tackled by Police Chief.

Definite steps to remove the ponds of
stagnant water created In various Sec
tons of the District as a result OF the
torrential downpour Saturday night,
were taken today by Maj. Edwin B.
Hesse, superintendent of police.
Policemen in all precincts were di-
rected by Maj. Hesse to make a careful
survey OF vacant lots and other unde-
veloped private property and report To-
cations where pools OF water have
formed This information will be
turned over to the District Health De-
partment
Health Officers Statement.
Dr. William G. Fowler, District health
officer. said that should it develop that
these pools constitute a danger to pub
lie health and a public nuisance, he
would serve notices of abatement on the
owners of the property where they are
located.
Maj. Hesse is fearful that stagnant
water on the vacant lots and the few
remaining areas of undeveloped prop
erty in the District may develop into
breeding places for mosquitoes and for
this reason he voluntarily took action to
aid the Health Department in eradicat-
ing such conditions. The police super
intendent also is afraid that some of the
pools might be deep enough TO consti-
tute danger to children who use them
for wading.
ID. G. Heads Take Action.
In the meantime. various agencies
of the District government continued
to remove the debris mud, gravel and
sand washed into the sewers and on
the sidewalks and streets by the heavy
downpour. This work. it is estimated,
will cost the District approximately
$4,000. Cleaning of the sewers alone
will take about $4,000 of this amount.
Ordinarily property owners would be
required to remove mud. sand and
gravel washed into the streets and on
the sidewalks from private property,
but because OF the unusually heavy
rainfall. District officials have charged
this item to an "act Of God" and are
doing the work at the expense of the
municipal government.
Municipal Nursery Suffers Loss.
Aside from the cost Of cleaning sew
erS and removing mud from the streets
and sidewalks the District also is faced
With the loss Of a number Of the Nor
way maple saplings at the nursery as
a result Of the rain. According to
CLIFFORD Lanham, superintendent of trees
and parkingS, the trees are being slow
~ strangled to death by the water
which did not drain from the nursery
grounds.
