LEADERS URGE SPEED
IN AMERICAN SURVEYS
Interior and Commerce Secretaries
Would Complete Work in
1S Years.

BY the Associated Press.
Recommendations looking to compile
ton of the basic American surveys
within 18 years have been submitted to
President Hoover by the Secretaries OF
the Interior and Commerce.
Under the present plans, they reported,
the Coast and Geodetic Survey, the
Topographic Survey and Geological Sur
vey would not complete the work for
another 80 years. -
AS an instance Of the value of these
accurate surveys, the President said
that had adequate maps of the Missis-
sippi flood area been available in the
last great deluge, it might have been
possible to save 100000 head OF cattle
which persisted.
About 43 per cent of the mapping
work has been completed in the last 20
years.

told a companion. A woman in

asked Mrs. Field what kind OF

scribed It, and the woman handed
her the brooch.
Out Of $4,000 persons in the

available cheaper-pr1ceQ sites IN Otner
This probably accounts for the fact
that, while new apartments OF varied
sizes and character have been erected
at a remarkable numerical rate in other
sections of the city, but few changes
have come to lower Sixteenth street IN
the past six years in the form OF apart
ment houses.
One New Apartment House.
But one new apartment house has
been erected in this section in the past
seven years, this being the Greenbrier,
completed in 1922. Then there is also
another apartment structure. formerly
a private residence, which was convert
ed into apartments, this being an apart
ment house in classification though not
"a new building fundamentally.
There are, all told. 13 hotel and
apartment structures on this section OF
Sixteenth street, 8 of which are claSseo
as apartment houses. Two OF the
hotels, the Carlton and the Hay-Adams,
were erected in the past six years. Both
are of costly types. designed to appeal
to the more exclusive type OF guests
than the average.
An analysis of rental prices on apart
ments on lower Sixteenth street as
compared with those of apartments OF
other sections, made for The Star oy
Alton L. Wells, financial student and
statistician. associated with Story &
Co., shows that the average rental per
room in the Sixteenth street buildings,
on a necessarily rough estimate, is
somewhat less than the average for
apartment space of comparable size IN
other sections. The figures, not lar
apart. can be the basis of generaliza-
ton, it is pointed out, only when the
difference in the assessed values OF the
sites is considered.
The average square foot assessed val
uation of ground of the Sixteenth street
apartments is found by Mr.. Wells fig
ures. which are taken from official as
sessment books. to be S13.82. In con-
trast to this the average for the apart
ments in other sections included III
this study was found to be $3.H per
square foot.
Since it is admittedly difficult thing
to make q comparison OF rental rates
m different apartment buildings, Que
to difference of location, character OF
apartment buildings. transportation Ia
cilities. nearness to stores, SIZE o.
APARTMENT rooms. competition of other
apartments to the individual buildings
considered in the study and other rae
tors. the comparison Is but rougn
one. though giving some mdlcatlon as
to general conditions.
- With these elements in mind MT
We'll found the monthly price per
room. of apartments on lower Sixteenth
street to be $3.50, while for the apart
ments considered in other sections the
figure was approximately $40 per room
per month. Since the value of apart
ment house sites on lower Sixteenth
street as indicated by assessment rec
ords is more than three and hall
times the general average Tor tnose
of other sections, Mr.; Weus re-
norts, it is a fair conclusion to say
that the Sixteenth street apartments
certainly are not getting rates COM
mensurate with ground values, at least
on the basis of the probable returns
on apartments in other sections having
much lower assessed values for their

SEVENTH PHYSICIAN
victim Of film GAS
Mystery Of Hospital Fire In
creased by Discovery Of In
touched Room Of Film

Cleveland, May 2l.-(F-Dr George
w. Belcher, staff physician of the
Cleveland clinic, succumbed today to
the effects of poisonous gas which
filled the building after two explo-
sions last Wednesday. He was the
l25th victim of the disaster.
He was the seventh physician at
the clinic to die of the fumes. He
was a specialist in diseases of the
bladder and was a leader in research
IN his field. Four others we're in a
critical condition from the noxious
poison today.
The mystery Of the fire which killed
ia persons from poisonous gas gen.
Grated by burning X-ray film in the
basement was intensified today with
the knowledge that more than twice
as much film kept in other parts Of
the building failed to ignite.
The fire originated in a Storeroorl1.
In a room above. according to DR.. B.
H. Nichols, still more film was kept,
and this was untouched during the
double explosions which rent the in
terror of the structure and burned out
the woodwork. Nichols made the
statement to Coroner A. j. Pcarse,
investigating the disaster.
He was unable to explain why this
film remained intact.
DR.. William e. Lower. a director of
the clinic. identified the fumes as
nitrogen dioxide. He, with DIR. George
w. Grille. cofoundcrs of the institu-
ton were to give their versions of
the calamity before Pcarse today.
Thirty injured were in hospitals
today, two of them admitted last
night. Three cases we're discharged.
