buildings, estimated to cost $2,746,82
The number of permits was approx
mately the same as for the preceding
year, but the estimated cost Of con-
struction was about 80 per cent less,
due to the fact that several of the
buildings erected during the year
1928 were of unusually expensive

ROADHOUSES MAY
OPERATE IN COUNTY
But They Must Restrict
Dancing to One Night
a Week.

UPPER MARLBORO, July 3.-Road-
houses in Prince Georges County are
expected to continue to do business at
the same old stands despite the pro-
tests against their operation emanating
from the County Federation of Wom-
ems Clubs, the County Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union, Grangers,
civic and other organizations.
Delegations from these bodies were
present at the meeting of the county
commissioners here yesterday and
voiced opposition to continuation Of
these establishments.
Five roadhouse proprietors had made
formal application to operate under the
new law-the Club Marlboro, Chillum
Manor Club, Lone Star Club, Little
Club, formerly the Green Gables, and
the Suitland Club. Evidently all these,
applicants had been warned that their
licenses would be refused and before
the commissioners met withdrew their
requests, but the commissioners ordered
a minute placed in their proceedings
formally refusing to grant any Of the
licenses.
Face Heavy Fines.
The result is that these establish
mentS are expected to continue to
function as heretofore, but the pro-
prietors will face big fines and possibly
imprisonment should they allow dancing
IN their places more than one night
week.
It is the opinion Of the commission
ers that most of the. trouble existing
at these places results from tripping
the light fantastic and that If this or
dtnarily innocent amusement is cur
tailed to one night a week the road
houses win be bettered.
The county commissioners announced
that If these places conduct cafes where
one can get food and soft drinks they
do not intend to interfere with them.
In fact, they cannot do so under the
law, but 1t Is up to the officers to see
to 1t that these establishments allow
dancing but one night week. It is
going to be just as bad for any pro-
prietor Of clubhouse in Prince Georges
County who is caught violating this
law because the officers have been in
structed to keep a sharp lookout and
to raid any place violating the law.
Do Big Business.
The half dozen or so roadhouses In
Prince Georges County have been doing
q thriviU !ASsiness in recent years, and
attract many parsons from Washington
and Baltimore, as well as this and ad-
joining counties. Practically all of the
establishments have gone to the ex-
pense of constructing fine dance pavil-
ions or halls, and jazz and other music
Is furnished by all Of them. In many
instances, 1t is alleged, the thirst Of the
dancers has been quenched with
stronger fluid than water, and these
refreshments served by or brought to
the club have been the main cause Of
much of the trouble that has broken
out In some Of these places from time
to time.
Should the officers Of the county sue
coed in restricting dances in these
places to one night q week the impress
sion prevails that the patronage win be
materially lessened

Mr. Ely then went into detail to
show from the records what the inhabi-

War, and later to establish and main
tain this Nation.

One Of the strangest facts In Ameri-
can history, according to Selden M.
Ely, supervising principal Of the fifth
division of the Washington public
schools, is that the only portion of the
United States proper which Is today
deprived of representation in Congress
and participation in the election OF
President and Vice President furnished
from It's small population in 1776 be-
tween $50 and 300 patriots who fought
In the Continental Army and were
otherwise active during the Revolution
airy War in establishing the principle
that taxation without representation
is tyranny"
Many Of these men who went to war
from the territory which is now the
Capital of the Republic they helped to
cemeteries and at Arlington National
Cemetery, just across the Potomac
River.
1t is appropriate that their deeds be
remembered as Memorial day draws
near, In Mr.. Ely's opinion, especially in
view of the fact that present-day in
habitantS of the District Of Columbia,
many Of whom are descendants of Rev
dictionary patriots. are asking Congress
to grant them the rights enjoyed by
other Americans.
Claims Blood Will Tell"
eff it can be shown that this Dis
trict," points out Mr.. Ely, was inhab-
tied by it's due proportion Of patriots
who helped to establish this great Re-
public, and that their descendants may
be found in like proportion among its
citizens. may it lot be inferred that
this area is entitled to the rights, privi-
leges and immunities of other areas in
the United States of America?
The registers of the Sons OF the
Revolution, the Sons Of the American
Revolution and the Daughters of the
American Revolution show that such
population has persisted in the District
of Columbia to a greater extent than in
any other equal territory in the United
States 1t is an axiom that blood will
tell Then why deprive our citizens OF
the rights of American citizens else
where?"
That the section which now comprises
the City of Washington furnished its
full quota of Revolutionary patriots is
shown by Mr. Ely in a paper once read
before the Columbia Historical Society

resting In the cemeteries at Oak Hill.
Arlington. Congressional, Rock Creek
and Mount Olivet. Several are in I'M
located graves. At least six cofins OF
patriots are in obliterated graves in the
old Presbyterian Cemetery in George
town, now the Georgetown municipal
playground.
"The District of Columbia was a bat
tlefield during the War of 1912, and
was literally surrounded with strife
during the period from 1861 to 1864.
The District of Columbia was never q
battlefield Of the American Revolution,
yet no spot in America is more hallowed
with its memories. Many of the great
chieftains of the War of independence,
both civil and military, were spared to
reside here in the early days OF the
Capital and helped to perfect the for
nation Of this Republic.
TO pass to more recent history, nv
auditors will recall that Francis Scott
Key, the author Of our national hymn,
The Star Spangled Banner resided in
house that was removed In order to
make way for the District Of Columbia
approach to the Key Bridge over the
Potomac"
