OLD FIRE LIMITS
MAY Be RESTORED
Board of Seven Members Is
Named by Commissioners to
Take Up Problem.

The District Commissioners yester-
day appointed board of seven men,
bers to look into the matter reviving
the old District fire limits, which passed
out of legal existence in July, 1925. The
fire limits, within which no frame
building construction was allowed, were
originally enforced by police regula-
tons, and later by building regulations.
When the revised building regulations
were adopted in July, 1925, reference to
fire limits was omitted. The coming
act then and now in force prohibited
the construction of combustible build
ings in all except A and A restricted
areas, and the need for the fire limits
was felt to have been filled by the
system Of coming.
Later, however. it was discovered
that the fire limits played an impor-
tant part in the work of the Electrical
Department. as there are acts of Con-
greSs In force prohibiting the stringing
of overhead electric wires within the
fire limits. There being now no fire
limits, apparently there is no restric-
ton, other than that which may be
imposed by the Public Utilities Com
mission, against stringing of overhead
electric wires anywhere in the city
This. according to Warren Hadley.
District electrical engineer, is deplor-
able. and in one of the Endorsements
on the official papers which have been
going the rounds for the past year on
the subject, he wrote about the regret
table effect in new subdivisions, where
the Subdividers strip the land of its
trees and substitute for this scenery
ugly rows Of poles carrying wires for
the household electrical uses.
The Fire Department is also opposed
to stringing of overhead wires, which
Chief Engineer George S. Watson con-
SiderS dangerous to his men, particu-
larry when ladders have to be used. He
Is also in favor of restoring the fire
limits as an added check to the spread
OF frame-building construction.
The committee formed to deal with
the problem consists of Assistant Engi-
neer Commissioner Donald A. Dawson,
Capt. Herbert C. Whitehurst, chief en-
gineer of the District; E. v. Fisher,
secretary of the Public Utilities Com
mission; George S. Watson, chief en-
gineer of the Fire Department; John w.
Oehmann building inspector; Warren
Hadley, electrical engineer, and As
sistant Corporation Counsel Alexander

PLANS TO PUT WAR
LESSONS into USE
SummeraII to Tell Hoover of
Steps to Modernize Meth
DDS and Equipment.
BY the Associated Press.


Aside from the survey President
Hoover proposes Of Army maintenance
costs with a view of curtailment, Gen.
Charles P. Summerall, chief Of the
Army general staff, has initiated an
other survey looking toward more rapid
progress in turning lessons learned in
France into practical use for possible
future wars.
This became known today at time
when the Chief Executive, at his fish
ing preserve in the cool of the Blue
Ridge Mountains in Virginia, had gath
cred around him the Secretary Of War
and other high officials of that depart
ment, including Summerall, for con-
ference on Army questions.
The Presidents announcement was
made early this week, but some time
before that Summerall held a confer
ence in Washington with the highest
officers connected with the Infantry
School at Fort Benning, Ga. No pub
licity was given at the War Depart
ment to this meeting. but it is known
that tactical plans under consideration
by officers there were discussed.
Fort Benning Is the Army field labo-
ratory for testing all theories of tactics
and new weapons or equipment which
have any bearing on the use Of infan-
try in war. That means almost every
type of weapon or Army transport
vehicle.
The American Army, like all others
stands by its formally declared policy
not long after the close of the World
War that the infantry still was the
backbone of the fighting force.
"a direction
of Gen. Pershing as postwar chief OF
staff, pictured every other element Of
the military establishment from avia-
ton to tanks as merely auxiliary to the
foot soldier, to help him reach his OBJ
jective and minimize infantry losses.
Members of Congress especially inter-
ested in Army problems frequently
have said they felt one OF the solutions
of lessening national defense costs lay
means Of waging war, and 1t is certain
the work at Benning will be considered
carefully in any program OF military
economy.
All postwar experimentation with
motorization or INFLAMMATION has
had as its objective the reduction Of
infantry losses in battle. Gen. Sum-
neral is represented as tnsistent upon
close cooperation among the various
Army branches to provide far greater
fire power for the infantry itself and its
auxiliary services, such as tanks and
front line guns.
During his week end Army costs con-
ference with President Hoover Summer
all is expected to outline what the
Army has done since the war and what
1t hopes to do toward modernization OF
its methods and equipment.
The largest element OF increase In
T.. Aek ho
fallen under the five-year aviation ex-
pansion program. The direct cost OF
new planes and other equipment for
the current fiscal year was above
$34, 100000.
The indirect aviation expansion costs
also were heavy, including addition OF
200 air officers year to the rolls.

The United States cause apparently
has been lost despite the doubles vic
tory. Bill Tilden's straight set defeat
at Cochet's hands and Borotra's four
set triumph over George Lott yesterday
allowed no room for hope that the
American singles players will be able to
win the last two singles matches tomor-
row, when Cochet meets Lott and T1lden
faces Borotra.
Tilden may be able to overthrow
Borotra, but not even the most opti-
mistic of American observers has any
hope that Lott can down Cochet, who
right now, seems to deserve ranking
as the greatest singles player in the
world.
