Automobile Operation Cost
Is Less on Improved Roads
Highway Education Board After
Thorough Survey Gives Out
Some Interesting Facts

What does it cost to run an auto
mobile? The question is often asked
and there are many answers. The
cost depends on the type Of road on
which it is operated, the size and
type of machine, and the manner
in which it is operated, Many car
owners keep complete records Of
their car costs, and they all agree
that the cost of running car has
been greatly reduced since the good
roads movement began in earnest.
Since it is impossible to improve
all roads at once most cars must be
operated part Of the time on good
roads and part of the time on roads
which are only fair or poor. Every
car owner knows that he uses more
gasoline on a poor road than on a
good one but it is obviously impos-
sible for him to measure tire wear
on each trip. The engineering and
agricultural colleges of several
state, Iowa foremost among them,
have made detailed studies of the
cost of each item, on different kinds
of roads and with various kinds OF
cars.
These studies have been combin-
ed into one table giving the cost of
running an imaginary average"
passenger automobile. This table
published in the Highway Hand
book" issued by the Highway Edu-
cation Board, Washington D. c.,
give the following figures:
High Inter Low

IOCal cost O.f4 OTTO '.oo
The compilation is based on an
annual mileage of 1000. Some of
the items, such as garage, interest,
insurance and license, are the same
regardless of how much the car is
used. If a car is used only $500
mile a year, the cost per mile for
these items would be doubled.
BY high type roads are meant
roads of concrete or other material
not affected by moisture or dought,
Intermediate types are roads
which are graded and graveled to
modern standards, and low type
roads include earth roads ana
gravel roads which are not properly
graded and drained.

The project for the Rock Creek and
Potomac Parkway will provide a traffic
route without any grade crossing of
east and west streets between Connecti-
cut avenue and Pennsylvania avenue
Just such connection as Philadelphia
spent $4,000. 900 to produce in the
Fairmont parkway.
Although Col. Grant did not care to
discuss the subject at this time fur
ther than to issue the joint statement
for himself and Maj. Gotwals after
their conference yesterday morning,
which consisted only of a few lines, 1t
is known that other cities are spending
large sums of money for main arterial
highways such as this parkway con-
nection, cut through built-up sections
at great cost, or they are considering
thoroughfares with separation of levels
at still greater cost.
Under these circumstances many
citizens of Washington feel that it
would be a waste of a splendid natural
opportunity for Washington to neglect
the possibility which its natural topog-
raphy provides and not develop the OPP
portunity to its fullest extent, both as
to an arterial highway and a park link
between the existing Potomac Park sys-
tenn and Rock Greek Park.

DRY AGENTS RAID
NORTH BEACH GRILL
Arrest Four Men as Customers
in Bathing Suits Watch
Procedure.

While men and women customers
in bathing suits looked on, Federal
prohibition agents yesterday afternoon
raided the North Beach Grill at Chesa-
peake and Third streets in North Beach,
Md, arrested four men and conf1scated
a large quantity of beer and liquor.
A man giving the name of Thomas
Hooke, "a years old, was one of those
arrested. Two of the others, Milton
80 years old, colored, gave Washington
addresses, while the third, j. j. Healey,
35 years old, said he lived at North
Beach.
Eight prohibition agents working out
of Washington made the raid at 1890
o'clock. Several women were in the
grill and on the floor above when the
agents identified themselves and placed
the men under arrest. Within a few
minutes large crowd, numbering many
WaShingtonianS who sought to escape
the heat over the week end. gathered
in front of the place and cheered the
agents on.
Members of the raiding party said
the crowd was in holiday mood. Their
good humor proved so infectious that
the luckless individuals arrested pitched
in and helped the agents destroy 10
half barrels of beer taken from the
grill Hooke and Healey, who were
taken in the grill, were charged with
sale and possession and the other two
men. who were arrested on the second
floor, were charged with manufacture,
sale and possession, the charge of man
ufacture growing out of the fact that
"a gallons of home brew mash were
found on the premises. A quantity of
home brew, alcohol and whiskey was
included in the haul.
Planning the raid so as to arrive
before the population reached its holi-
day proportions, the agents cleared the
grill of customers and after DESTROYING
the liquor took the prisoners to Balti-
more, where they were lodged IN jail.

$4,000 RESIDENTS
FILE TAX RETURNS
Assessor Russell Previously EST
mated $4,000 Should List
Personal Property.

About $4,000 Washington residents
filed personal tax returns last month";
according to a preliminary estimate by
Deputy Tax Assessor Charles A. Rus
sell, in charge of personal tax assess
ments. Approximately 10000 OF these
informed the assessor under oath that
they did not own enough to subject
them to a tax the balance must pay
taxes next September.
Mr.. Russell had previously estimated
that there were about $4,000 persons
who should file returns. If there are
any among the missing $4,000 who own
a large amount of personal property,
they will probably be sued In District
Supreme Court in mandamus pro-
ceeding to compel them to file returns.
This is a new power given the District
by the current appropriation act.
Mr. Russell said that the f1nal f1g-
ures would show a substantial increase
in the number of persons filing returns
who had never filed before. In past
wears many persons filed returns con-
tanning only an assessment OF their
automobile. Beginning last year, how
ever. the automobile tax was collected
at the time the owner bought his tags
and there were no automobiles in the
personal property returns this year.
Many persons are puzzled at receiving
this year bills for half years taxes
on their automobiles. The explanation
Is that the tax collected at the time
OF the sale of tags last January COW
cred only the period from July /, 1880
TO December 81, 1880, and that the
tax blanks now being received cover
the missing six months from January
/. 1880. to June 80. 1880. These viii
be the last of such bills to be sent out
Beginning with the sale of tags mex
January every car owner will be re.
ouired to pay whole years persona
tax in advance on the car before h'
gets his tags.

Closing of Street Between B
and D Part of Plan for
Capitol Grounds.
WORK NOW UNDER WAY
IN LANDSCAPE PROJECT
Changes in Electric Car Tracks In
cluded in Improvements
Congress Authorized.

Another step In the enlargement Of
the Capitol grounds has just been
taken in the permanent closing of
North Capitol street from B to D
streets, where workmen have started
tearing up the street surface, curbing
and sidewalks.
The closing of these two blocks OF
North Capitol street from D street south
was authorized by Congress on March
4, 1929, when 1t enacted the detailed
pan for the improvement of the area
between the Capitol and Union Station
at an estimated cost of $4,9l2,4l4.
Terrace to Be Formed.
What Is now North Capitol street be-
tween B and C streets will be filled in
to form part of q Handicapped terrace,
which will start at about the present
level at B street and rise gradually to-
ward street.
Between C and D streets what Is now
the center of North Capitol will form
the site for an ornamental mirror toun-
tain. The land abutting these two
blocks on North Capitol street has been
clear of buildings for some time.
The work of tearing down the last OF
the wartime temporary Government
hotels, directly in front OF Union Sta
ton, also is under way. David Lynn,
architect of the Capitol, hopes to begin
this Fall landscaping the squares racing
the railroad station.
The proposed new diagonal boulevard
from Union Station to Pennsylvania
avenue near Third street will cross
North Capitol street at its new terml-
nus at D street, but the laying out OF
this new avenue will be later step In
the improvement program. There Is
some additional property to be bought
by the Government, west OF the pres
ent Capitol Grounds, before the entire
project is completed.
Street Car Changes.
Several changes in street car tracks
In the vicinity of the Capitol also are
called for by the law authorizing the
extension of the Capitol Grounds, ana
probably will be started about six or
seven months from now.
These changes include: Removal OF
present tracks from Delaware avenue
between the static nand B street, and
from D street between Delaware avenue
and First street east, including the
spur running into original Capitol
Grounds. New tracks will be laid on
First street east from B street to Union
Station, to take the place of the Della
ware avenue tracks. The tracks on q
street will be lowered into a subway
from New Jersey TO Delaware avenue
and will extend on the surface OF Z
street from Delaware avenue TO tie IN
with the new tracks on First street
east
Another feature of the plaza project
which probably will be started early
next year is the proposed underground
storage place for Capitol automobiles,
to be constructed beneath the terrace
of a portion of the area between New
Jersey and Delaware avenues, Just
south Of c street. After this work mas
been done the area between New Jersey
and Delaware avenues, B and G streets
will be given an attractive landscape
slIrface treatment.

Chief Justice Wheat stated yesterday

term. He said United States Attorney
Rover had advised the justices that he
can keep three courts busy and he will

Because of the press of condemnation
cases, both Federal and District, it has
been rumored that two justices might
be assigned to this work, but the Chief
Justice said no decision has been reach
ed in this connection.
The suggestion has also been advance
ed that one justice be assigned to hear
all motions and sign all preliminary
matters, thus permitting the trial jus
tices to work continuously for five days
from 10 o'clock in the morning until
8 o'clock In the afternoon, instead of
devoting only four days week to jury
trials. This suggestion was said to be
still under consideration.
