STREET WIDENING
URGED BY HAzEN
18th Should be Increased,
Due to Importance, He Says
in Report.

Two street widening projects and the
cutting Of new highway are RECON-
mended by District Surveyor Melvin C.
Hazen IN his annual report, sent to the
District Commissioners yesterday. Thir-
tenth street, he suggested, should be
widened between Park road and Spring
road.
Thirteenth street." Mr.. Hazen wrote
lis one of the main arterial north and
south highways. The Commissioners
recently have condemned property for
the extension of Thirteenth street from
Colorado avenue to the Walter Reed
Hospital, and IL now has q width OF
ITO feet throughout its entire length,
with the exception of the section re-
ferred to. The roadway in this section
- decidedly insufficient to carry the
traff1c on this important highway"
Sees Need for Legislation.
Another suggestion was the cutting
through of new north and-South
street east Of Georgia avenue, running
from Florida avenue to Takoma Park.
The only difficult section in the way
VI ouCAA dA CAIcklolOIl, MI I1dAcIl 1OuAANl,
would be between Florida avenue and
Rock Creek Church road. He said that
many of the streets in the area could
be widened to form part of the new
thoroughfare, but that this would re-
quire legislation.
To cure a bad traffic situation at the
intersection Of Foxhall road and Con-
duit road, he suggested widening Fox
hall road from Conduit road to Ameri-
TNNtu H.. T1~tI a
from American University to Conduit
road, from their present 33-foot width
to the 90-foot allowable width under
the highway plan. Both of these roads
are old county roads, he said, and do
not serve the needs of the rapidly grow
ing community around them. There is
demand for water, sewer and other
connections In this area. These cannot
be made until the roads are widened.
Suggests Razing of Buildings.
Mr.. Hazen also recommended that
whenever buildings are condemned in
connection with street widening projects,
the buildings be Immediately RACED, in
stead OF renting some Of them out, as Is
occasionally done now by the District.
Fees received by the surveyors once
Tor services In connection with record
ing subdivisions, reSubdiviSions, or in
dividual lots, declining from $40014.45
in the 1920 fiscal year to 4,4O440 in
the 1880 fiscal year, the report shows.
The number of lots surveyed fell from
3,131 to 2,258; the number of subdi-
visions from 253 to 1871; the number of
lots in new subdivisions from 2,10l to
1893, and the number of plats to ac-
company applications for building per-
mitS from 1888 to 3,2ll.
One Of the jobs reported by the sur
veyor was the measurement Of the route
covered by buses in taking children to
and from school, The Commissioners
contract with the bus concern was on q
mileage basis. This involved the
measurement Of 206 separate routes,
with total Of 2,32321 miles.

KELLY DOUBTS TIP
ON BAKER SLAYER
Woman's Story That Hus-
band Knows Killer Is Held
Unimportant.

Little Importance was attached last
night by Lieut.. Edward j. Kelly, chief
of the homicide squad, to the state
ment of a new witness In the Baker
case that she had been told by friends
that her husband knew who killed Miss
Mary Baker.
Acting on a "ttp'' given by counsel
for Herbert M. Campbell, under in
dictment in the Staying, Kelly inter-
viewed a young woman residing in
Colmar Manor, Md. He said the wom-
an told somewhat vague story to the
effect that the husband of her friend
had met Miss Baker while seeking to
sell her an automobile. The new wit
ness added that the wife of the sales
man had boaSted that her husband
knew who had slain Miss Baker.
II attach no importance whatsoever
to the statement of the woman inter-
viewed tonight" Kelly said. How
ever" he added, 81 will have talk
with her husband at the first oppor-
tunity."
Meanwhile news was received from
Norfolk that Federal Judge D. Lawrence
Groner would hold hearing In Alex
andria next Saturday to decide
whether Campbell shall be returned
to the District to face trial.

SIS CITY CARS COST
3.72 CENTS PER MILE
Superintendent of Municipal Ga
rage Submits Report to
Commissioners.

Operating costs of maintaining the
So automobiles housed at the Municipal
Garage during the past fiscal year,
amounted to 3.72 cents per mile, plus
an additional 34-100 of a cent for re-
pair parts, according to the annual re-
port of c. N. Emmons, superintendent
of the garage, forwarded to theDistrict
Commissioners yesterday. These fig
ures include, besides repair parts, labor,
gasoline, oil, grease, tires and tubes,
miscellaneous supplies and drivers
wages. The figures represented slight
decreases over the previous years costs.
Housed" as used in the report Is a
somewhat optimistic term, as the ga
rage, built In 1907, was designed for
only IS cars. BY filling up the aisles,
it Is possible to get SO cars squeezed in.
The others have to stay on the streets
or be taken home by certain depart
ment heads entitled to this privilege.
MIR. Emmons recommend inclusion in
the plans for the municipal center, of
building for adequate housing of the
city's rolling stock.

it is q fact that on no other class of

 Near Catalina Island

Avalon, Santa Catalina Island, Calif., Oct. (UP)-Rescued ex- hausted from the Pacific ocean, two men and a woman were in hos pital today recovering from the ef- fleets of drifting seven hours in a choppy sea after their speedboat had sunk.
 MT. and Mrs. W. A. Campbell of Lond Beach, Calf. and Keil Law renee of Porterville, Calif., were picked up by the steamer Avalon at dusk after they had been kept afoat all day by life preservers from their speedboat. !.
 Starting across the Catalina 1stha mus, the three had time only to seize the preservers and air cushions as the boat suddenly foundered.
 For hours they drifted in the rough channel, their cries unheard by occupants of passing pleasure craft. They were dozen miles off the main steamer lanes and often hidden from view by the waves.
 Second Officer Gus Metzee sighted them in the twilight and the Avalon reached them just in time to save Lawrence from collapsing. The steamer Catalan sighted them about the same time and also went to the rescue

PLAN BOARD FAVORS
 STREET EXTENSIONS
Continuation Of East Main and
 Starr on Its Program

The city plan commission voted last night to recommend to the common council next week that East Main street be extended to Washing street, also that Starr street be ex- tended to North street. Widening of Stanley street, between Allen street and Hartford avenue will also be recommended. The procedure is to have the board of public works give hearings to the affected property owners and report back to the council.
 It was also voted to recommend to the council that pocket streets about the city be divided into five classes and different methods of pro- cedure adopted. Sherman Court, Emmons Place and similar pocket streets which are we'll built up and cannot be extended because of lack of outlets should be accepted as city streets and improved, in the opinion of the commission. Others can be easily extended through de- velopment, while some more should be extended without delay. Still an- other class is that in which would be placed the pocket streets which it would not be practicable to eX- tend.
