The Sidewalks of Washington

It is always fiattering to receive cir
culars advertising expensive articles. A
pamphlet Just delivered informs US
that we can buy a swell cruiser for
something above $4,000. 1t has ali
kinds Of gadgets and thangamadoodes.
We have been asked to imagine our
selves floating lazily down a river with
friends, putting In here and there
away from the madding throngs Of
the city. The aft deck is spacious, and,
with the addition Of two or three
wicker chairs-oh! but why mention it?
For $4,000 we can obtain q more

like and on the bow there Is plate

when one has expended $4,000. Lady
Belle III would be more appropriate
No name at all would be better. It
would cause conjecture.

nothing else. it has stirred the imagi-

UPPER MARLBORO, Md, February

standing difficulties between the Prince
Georges County commissioners and the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Capital Park and
Planning Commission was reached at
a conference between the two groups
and the members of the Prince Georges
County delegates in the State Legls-
lature yesterday
The organizations reached working
agreement by which the county COM
missionerS will conduct hearings and
administer the coming ordinance, while
the delegates were authorized to amend
the coming law TO clear up the present
unsatisfactory features
For this purpose 1t is expected the
attorneys for the Park and Planning
Commission and the county commits
sioners will meet with members OF the
LEGISLATURE to frame a new bill.
The county commissioners desire
specific provision that expenses at
tached to litigation resulting from the
coming ordinance be levied against the
Park and Planning Commission.
The commissioners also wish to be
given some part in development OF
parks and roadwayS.
Although the conference was held pc
hind closed doors and none OF the
parties attending would state an agree
ment had been reached, this was ma
turaliy inferred from the announce
ment that hearings on the II requests
for coming changes that have been
pending since April will be advertised,
Fear that the coming ordinance mlgnt
not be entirely legal, and that IN
administering it, they might be lett
omen to a suit, has been given as the
reason for the commissioners refusing
to conduct hearings on the requests Tor
changes before. An official OF the
park commission stated before the meet
ing Yesterday. however, that the orol-
nance was entirely legal.

ference Yesterday were: Irving OWlngs;
