WH|TEHURST GETS
CO-0RD|NATOR POST
Hunt to Continue Work Until
Captains Resignation
Is Accepted.

Assistant Engineer Commissioner Her
bert G. Whitehurst will be given the
post Of District co-ordinator of public
improvements when his resignation from
the Army is accepted, the District Com
missioners announced today,
Capt. Whitehurst month ago ten
dered his resignation from the Army,
which would carry with it the end of
his duty as Assistant Engineer Com
missioner, to be effective February %.
The War Department. however, has not
yet acted on the resignation. Until
Capt. Whitehurst takes up his new du-
ties, c. B. Hunt, engineer of highways,
will continue as co-ordinator.
Shortly before he rendered his resig-
nation, Capt. Whitehurst had perfected
a plan for co-ordinating the work of
the various departments and public
utilities whose work necessitated cutting
up street surfaces. Under his recon-
mendation, the work was to have been
put under some one already employed in
one Of the departments, in addition to
his present duties.
After Capt. Whitehurst resigned. how
ever. the Commissioners decided that
the work would take all of one mans
time, and offered him the position. The
pay involved is considerably below that
offered by the private firm whose serv-
ice Capt Whitehurst had intended to
enter, but the Commissioners prevailed
upon him to accept. In the pay sched-
ule which will probably be assigned to
the new position, Capt Whitehurst will
still receive an attractive increase over
his present scale.
1t was learned that the results OBJ
tanned from the reorganization of the
highway department, which Capt.
Whitehurst effected year ago. was one
of the main factors which led the Com
missioners to seek to retain his services.

NURSE REGISTRATION
BILL PASSES SENATE
Two Amendments Adopted With
Measure Among Four Successful
for D. c. in Upper House.

Four local measures went through the
Senate late yesterday, including the bill
to provide new method of registering
nurses in the District, which has passed
the House. The Senate, however,
amended the bill to reduce the examina-
ton fee from SIS to $40, and to clarity
the section requiring reciprocity with
other jurisdictions. These amendments
will send the bill back to the House for
completion. The other bills passed were:
Authorizing the Commissioners to
straighten Michigan avenue by eliminat-
ing the turns between Franklin street
and Lincoln road northeast. This still
requires House action.
Authorizing memorial in Washing
ton to the signers of the Declaration of
Independence. 1t still requires House
action.
Authorizing memorial in Washing
ton to Oscar S. Straus, who was Secre-
tary of Commerce and Labor in 1906
and who also was in the diplomatic
