Of the development Of the National
Capital. 1t is usually thought that the
Government supports the entire city
development. This is not true. People
are taxed $1.70 on the full assessed
values of their property. This money Is
paid into the United States Treasury.
All appropriations for expenditures are
established by Congress through the
budget system. Out of last years total
budget of some $45,000,000. $37 900 900
was paid by the taxes collected from the
people within the District. and the bal
ance was paid out of Federal funds
Naturally the Federal Government does
not pay taxes on its property, so its
payment of approximately 100000
for the maintenance and development
OF the District of Columbia is more
than justified. The funds supplied the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission are taken from the District
appropriation. Therefore. IL the Cram
ton bill is passed. the $l6,000,000 to be
spent within the District will be re-
turned by the District appropriation at
the rate of 81 ,000 900 year for Is years
without interest. Generally speaking,
this additional land to be bought by the
Park and Planning Commission within
the District will be paid for in approxi-
mately the proportions of one-sixth by
Tic anu llNC-oiAJAln
by the people of the District themselves.
The total $1,000 900 to be expended In
conjunction with moneys raised by po-
litical units of the bordering States or
by private individuals will be purely
Federal funds. It is hoped that the
people of this country will realize that
Washington, as their National Capital,
should represent their character. their
ideas, their culture, and everything else
that makes the United States of Amer
lea a distinct and individual Nation.
Congress Must Have Backing.
Congress realized the Importance of
the future plan of Washington, and has
supported its development as much as
possible so far. but it must have the
backing of those whom it represents to
carry the plan to completion.
"At present our park maintenance is
costing $3.50 per acre, which is below
the average rate per acre for the larger
cities of this country" he said in con-

provides that $16,000,000 of the $23 ,000,-

project. At present the National Capt.
tai Park and Planning Commission is
obtaining an appropriation of $1,000, 600
per year for land purchases out of the
District appropriations. The purpose of
the Cramton bill is to provide the money
Immediately. The United States Treas
ury will be repaid from the District
funds at the rate of 81 100000 a year
for Is years without interest for the
money expended within the District.

afford many fine views of the country
side, rivers and the city, as these forts
were located on the high hills surround

far as Great Falls. the beauties along

Rock Creek Park will be extended into
Maryland, which will assure its water
supply in future years. The preserva-
ton of lesser but very important valleys,
such as Sligo Valley, Cabin John Creek,
Oxon Run and the like will give an
ideal regional park development that
can best be described as looking great

the hand being the city and the spread
fingers the regional parks extending out
into the country along the valleys, with
the urban growth on the ridges between

he other hand, he warned the conven-

defeating the essential intent of the
founders"

he painted the background of the de-
Avelopmes1t of the Capital through sue

and told OF the plans for the future.
Mr.. Wirth also took occasion to impress
unon his hearers the part that residents
Of the District are playing and would

phaSizing that 1t is not true, "as usu-
ally thought" that the Government

Mr.. With showed that of the last an

Mr.. With explained to the conven-

Wirth said

sion of Congress will approve the Cram

MARY'S Mother FINALLY
FINDS RIGHT THING
Relieves obstinate
cough with REM

After Mary Mullins of 1867 S.
Pearl ST., Albany, N. Y, re-
covered from whooping cough,
she had trouble with bronchial
coughs from time to time. Her
mother tried various things to
relieve her, but didn't get on the
right track until she asked a clerk
in Gaus' Drug Store at Pearl and
Westerlo about REM. He said
it was good for children as well
as grown-ups, and Mrs. Mullins
bought a bottle. REM relieved
Mary's cough at once and she
got a good ght's.sleep-the first
for several nights. Mrs. Mullins
is convinced that rem is a
great remedy for cough" and
that's what it is. REM isn't a
"cure-all." It's not good for any
thing but a cough-but how re-
markably good it is for that!
Be sure to ask for REM.

IN MEMORIAM

In loving memory of our dear
father, Thomas R. McRobie, who died
months ago today:
Lonely are our hearts today
For the one we loved so well;
He babe no one his last farewell
He waved his hand to none.
His spirit fled before we knew
That he from US had gone;
God called him home, it was His will
But in our hearts he is living still.
We miss him, yes we miss him,
When we see his vacant chair;
And how sad the home without him
But we know he is resting there.
Sweetest thought will ever linger
Around the grave where he is laid.
Sadly missed by sisters, brother
and two daughters.

Raetier Refutes Testimony


Edwin G. Baetjer, counsel for the
Michigan Commission, sought to prove
that there had been no piers in place,
by introducing pictures taken on the
date Williams claimed none were in
place.
Williams said that after he had
been forced to withdraw from the
contract, on which his bid was S5,-
115, it was let to Christopher and
Ensey at a figure above $4,000, and
that the actual payments totalled
more than $1,000.
Mr.. Wilmer also attacked the let
ting of the contracts for the final link
in the Grain highway, which he said
were on extensions, without bids,
and that they were given at higher
price than that of the original con-
tract.
AssaiIs Methods Used
Wilmer also attacked the commit
tee and Mr.. Baetjer on his handling
of witnesses, and also assailed the
handling of Thomas A. Butler on the
stand and the authenticity of roster
of visitors at the roads building in
Baltimore, when Butler and Charles
Robins, another convicted former en-

GETTING READY FOR THE
SUMNER

With the winter ending and the
out-of-d doors season coming soon, the
State Department of Health is re-
minding owners or operators of sum-
mer camps that no camp can be
operated without a permit and that
only those camps that meet the State
requirements for sanitation and gen
eral care, will be duly licensed. In
the notices that have been sent to
camp operators, DR.. r. H. Riley, Di-
rector of the State Department of
Health, calls attention to the fact
that last years permit does not hold
over for a second year. A new per-
NIT is required for the 1929 season.
Applications should accordingly be
made promptly so that the necessary
inspection can be made before the
season opens. Applications must
state the exact location of the exist
ing or proposed camp, the approx
mate number of persons to be main
tanned, the probable duration of use,
and the proposed method of sewage
and garbage disposal. The regula-
tions apply to all places used as a
camp or picnic ground for period
of six days or longer and accommo-
dating ten or more persons.
During the coming season, the
supervision of the camps will con-
tinue to be under the direction of the
Deputy State Health officers, or To-
cal Health Officers of the section of
the State Department of Health
Camps that meet the requirements of
the State Board of Health will be
duly certified and will be posted with
placards stating the approval of the
Board.
Supervision and inspection of the
camps under the present regulations
were begun in 1926. During that
year 105 camps in 10 counties were
inspected and less than -49-met
the requirements and were licensed.
The next year, 1873 camps were in
spected and rs were licensed, twenty
counties being represented. In 1928,
104 camps were inspected and rs
were licensed. Twenty counties were
again represented, Caroline, Worces-
ter and Somerset being the only
counties in which there were no
licensed camps. Of the counties in
which camps were licensed, Anne
Arundel led with 16; Frederick coun-
ty next with Is; Montgomery and
Washington counties, each had four
and the rest were divided among the
remaining counties.
Operators or others interested in
the establishment of such camps may
obtain a copy of the application
blank, the Rules and Regulations
Governing Camp Ground Santa
and wells from pollution together
with plans for the proper disposal
of sewage by writing to DR.. r. H.
Riley, Director of the State Depart
ment of Health, 2411 North Charles
Street, Baltimore City. Plans for
small living quarters in such camps,
with advice in regard to suitable
building materials, arrangement of
doors and windows, ETC., will also be
sent on request.
