UNION LENTEN SERVICE

The Union Lenten service will be
held on Tuesday evening of next
week, instead of Wednesday, as an
nounced in The Herald some time
ago. The service will be held at
the Methodist Church with Rev.
Frederick Stillwell, of the Congre-
gational Church, as pastor. This
change was made owing to the fact
that Bishop Bennett, of the Duluth
diocese of the Episcopal Church,
will be in st. Cloud Wednesday ev-
ening, April 18th, and that many of
the members of Good Samaritan
Church expect to attend the service
in the Granite City.

District Supervisor of Census Clears
Up Point in Dispute Among
Local Residents

A group of citizens discussing the
census, particularly as it affected
Sauls Centre, could not determine
whetb~- or not the officers and en-
ployev. IN that portion of the Home
School for Girls located within the
city limits of Sank Centre would be
credited to this city. Inasmuch as
they voted at the city elections the
Herald editor contended that they
should be accredited as residents
of the city. The following letter re-
ceived from Supervisor of Census
for the 5th Minnesota District,
bears out the contention. Mr.,

interest. It follows:

of your City including those
that are residents of the City
and connected with the institu-
ton.

sary for the enumerators of
your City to report their enum-
Grafton by blocks as they were
formerly instructed.

MEETING TO TAKE
ACTION ON AIRPORT
Merchants and Manufacture
ers Will Discuss Bingham
Plan Tomorrow.

The municipal airport project, as
planned by the congressional commits
sion headed by Senator Bingham Of
Connecticut, will be taken up for action
by the board of governors of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Association
at its meeting tomorrow afternoon at
the organizations headquarters In The
Star Building, II was announced today
by Edward D. Shaw, executive Secre-
tary.
A report on the plan, which calls for
acquisition of a site consisting OF q
combination of Hoover Field and Wash
ington Airport, a part Of Columbia
Island, the Agriculture Department ex-
perimental farm and Military road, on
the Virginia side of Highway Bridge,
will be submitted by a special commit
tee consisting of Maj. Gen. Anton Ste
phan, chairman; John H. Hanna and
Joseph H. Rurkart.
The association formerly advocated
the Gravelly Point site on the Potomac
as the best location for permanent
airport for the National Capital. The
Bingham plan contemplates the early
development of the combined site first
and the future preparation of Gravelly
Point for later use.
The board will consider also the
smoke nuisance law proposed by Sena-
tor Copeland Of New York, under which
enforcement of more stringent regula-
lions would be placed under the Engi-
neering Department Of the District.
Other matters to be considered viii
include the bills introduced by Senator
Blaine of Wisconsin providing for
licensing of real estate statesmen and
brokers, regulation of the sale Of stocks
and bonds and regulation of forecloS-
ures under mortgage issues on property

Board of Trade Committee
Demands Assessments
Be Reduced.
HOME OWNERS PAYING
"a PER CENT OF SERVICE
LuSk Declares Congress Intended to
Pay Half From General Taxes
to Encourage Building.

Contending that home builders or
home buyers now pay approximately
o. per cent of the cost Of laying service
sewers, whereas 1t was the intent OF
Congress that half such Capital i'm.
provements be paid out Of the general
taxes of the District, Rufus s. Lusk, as
secretary of the sewers committee OF
the Washington Board of Trade, today
petitioned the District Commissioners to
reduce the assessment for such work
from IS TO $3.50 per foot.
Two Campaigns On.
The action Of the trade body COM
mittee is In line with similar cam
paign which has been fostered by the
Operative Builders Association. The
petition Is based on the principle that
home ownership should be encouraged
rather than made more difficult by the
levying Of high percentage Of the cost
of sewer installation against home
owners
The letter to the board Of Commits
sioners states, in part:
1.-THE sewer rate until three years ago
was $50 a foot, when it was jumped
to SO foot. The average cost of laying
these sewers is something over So. AS
property on both sides of the street is
assessed 50 per front foot, the last avail
able figures indicate that property own
ers are paying "a per cent Of the total
cost of installing such sewers.
while the law may not be abso-
lutely clear upon the subject, 1t seems
to have been the intent Of Congress and
it has been the actual practice up TO
three years ago for one-half Of the
cost Of the sewer to be assessed against
the property and one-han to be paid
out Of general taxes. This is the same
method as applied to sidewalks, alleys,
streets, cutters, curbing, etc.
I'VE believe that the Commissioners
should take the initiative and imme-
diately recommend to Congress that
this rate be reduced to $l.60 o foot,
which is approximately one-half Of the
present average cost. Col. Bell, former
Engineer Commissioner, even went so
far as to recommend for the fiscal year
of 1928 that the rate be 81.
Would Be Good Business.
Everything, we believe, should be
done to encourage home ownership. 1t
is good business for the District to d.
so, since a home has larger taxable
value per family than other forms OF
living accommodations and it there
fore brings o larger tax revenue to the
District over q period of years. The
present cost of sewer and water In many
cases will amount to as much as 5
per cent of the building cost Of home.
I'VE respectfully request that the
Board of Commissioners take prompt
and decisive action upon this matter"

MICHIGAN AVENUE
CLOSING OPPOSED
Grade Crossing Elimination
and New 0verpass Are
Demanded.

Another maSs-meeting protest against
the proposed closing of Michigan ave-
nue., where 1t crosses the tracks Of the
Metropolitan branch of the Baltimore g.
Ohio Railroad, is being arranged by the
Michigan Park Citizens Association.
This group met last night at 1912
Twelfth street northeast, under the
Craftsmanship of william M. Deviny, its
president, and insisted that the grade
crossing be eliminated and an adequate
overpass be constructed forthwith.
Bridge Improvement Opposed.
The association adopted another reso-
luton opposing any improvement Of
the Monroe street bridge and its ap-
proaches at the expense OF Michigan
avenue. The Michigan Park citizens
were equally insistent, however, that a
proper solution to the grade-crossipg
problem be arrived at now by straight
ening this thoroughfare and construct
ing q viaduct in the realigned street.
They expressed the fear that II the pro-
posal of the District Government, now
pending before the House appropriations
committee for inclusion in the District
appropriation bill Of q provision for
$l45 900 for the reconstruction OF the
Monroe street oyerpass with $4,000
underpaSs for pedestrians at Michigan
avenue, be adopted, and Michigan ave-
nue. be closed at the grade crossing 1t
will mean that that portion of Michigan
avenue would disappear from the map
of the city.
The organization Is determined, how
ever. that this shall not happen, and
Deviny is now at work compiling the
names Of committee members, repre-
sentative Of the community, who will
vigorously oppose the permanent closing
of Michigan avenue.
John F. Hillyard, the associations Sec
rotary, explained today that last nights
meeting was adjourned until next week
to be held at the call of the president
In the interval an effort will be made
to collect funds to fight the legislation
proposed, designed to close Michigan
avenue.
Brennan Refutes OficiaIs.
Z. j. Brennan, In a lengthy address,

roe street overpaSs now. These argyll
ments were contained in an article on
the controversy in last evenings Star
A delegation from the Brookland
Parent Teacher Association was present
at the meeting, Hillyard said, and op-
posed the closing of Michigan avenue
on the ground that it would divert
traffic to Monroe street and prove a

EXTRA FURLOUGH DAY
RESTORED FOR WOMEN
Special Engraving Bureau Force
Returns From Treasury Job
on Former Basis.

Women of the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing have resumed the two
day-a-month furlough which was for
merry in operation, but which had been
temporarily changed to one day a
month
When 200 women were transferred
several months ago to the Treasurer's
ONCE to count old 1arge-size money
coming in to be changed for the small
currency. the bureau dropped of one
day q month from their furlough, re-
ducing it from two to one. Now
that the big job Of counting money at
the Treasury Is over, the permanent EN-
ployeS of the bureau have been returned
and the furlough restored to two days
a month. Ninety temporary" Treasury
Department woman counters, as recent
ly disclosed by the Treasury, will be dis
missed the last Of this month.
The principle of the furlough for per-
manent employees is to avoid dismissalS
and has been in effect in many differ
ent ways in the bureau for years.
