Visit Dublin
Horse Show

If he can fit the trip into
his crowded summer schedule,
Secretary of War Patrick j.
Hurley will go to Ireland in
midsummer to attend the
annual horse show at Dublin.
The show, an event that
annually draws thousands of
visitors to the bustling Irish
city, is one with an especial
appeal to horSe-loving Wash
ington. Each summer a dele
cation of enthusiasts go over
to witness the spectacle and
this summer, the busiest on
record for the "horsey set,"
the attendance from the Capt.
tai promises to be unusually
large.
Wife May Go, Too
Mrs. Hurley may, if she can
park her youngsters some safe
place, accompany her dis
tinguished husband. It will be
remembered that the couple
made a special point last week
of attending the National
Capital Show here despite the
showers that dampened the
ardor Of many other might
have-been spectators.

it will not in any way be a
pilgrimage" for the stalwart
Cabinet officer, who is, despite
his extremely Celtic name, Amer
ican born, a native of Okla

STUDY AIR HAZARD
OF SPAN COLUMNS
Arlington Bridge Officials
Seek Advice on 200 Foot
Granite Shafts.

Following the recent protest Of avia-
ton officials against the proposed erec-
ton of the Navy and Marine Memorial
on the south end of Columbia Island
in the line of the north and south run
way Of Washington Hoover Airport,
officials OF the Arlington Memorial
Bridge Commission have asked the
Commerce Department Aeronautics
Branch for advice on the construction
of two 200-foot granite columns far
ther north on Columbia Island on
either side of the Arlington Bridge axis.
Preliminary examination Of the plans,
It was said, show the columns will be
we'll below the normal gliding angle OF
planes coming in for landings at the
airport, but there is fear that the coll
umns may constitute serious hazard
to planes seeking the airport at night
or in fog.
viii Have Top Lights.
The columns. it was explained by
Mai. D. II. Gillette, assistant executive
officer of the Arlington Memorial Bridge
Commission, will be located about mid
way between the Columbia Island abut-
mentS of the Arlington Memorial Bridge
and the Boundary Channel Bridge and
at points 100 feet from the bridge axis
The columns will bear lights at the
tops, although the precise character of
these has not been determined. 1t is
anticipated they will be sufficiently
bright to be seen readily and identified
from the air, it was indicated.
Located at the center line of the
island and the axis of the bridge it was
pointed out, the columns will be ap-
proximately 5000 feet from the nearest
airport boundary. This is approx
mately twice the distance from the air
port, which, under the commonly ac-
cepted gliding angle of seven to one,
should constitute hazard to landing
planes in the opinion of officialS~of the
bridge commission.
Will Call Committee.
In reply to the charges of airport
officials that the Nevy and Marine
Memorial, which is to rise about IS
feet above Columbia Island and As or
so feet above the airport level, ofiicials
of the bridge commission pointed out
that this memorial will be under the
gliding angle of planes approaching the
airport. They expressed the opinion
that it will not constitute any greater
hazard to air navigation than the new
swimming pool and office building
erected across Military road from the
airport.
Lawrence E. Williams, jr., chairman
of the Aviation Committee Of the
Washington Board of Trade, is expected
to call the members of his committee
together later this week to consider the
question of distractions to air naviga-
ton at the local airport and other
aviation matters which have come UP
during the Summer.

 About two weeks ago the police were called to the BranSle home They arrived in time to prevent a murder, apparently. Mrs BranSle was almost unconscious when res cucd. Her face was badly swollen and she was suffering from numer- ous decorations about the head. For d time it was feared that she had sustained a fractured skull.
 Brangle testifying in his own be- half claimed that his wife returned home with her face a mass of bruis- es. He later learned that she had had a battle with the neighborhood shoemaker. When he demanded an explanation she hurled a few names at him" and so l up and smaclied her one, No one is going to call me such names and get away with it." the accused stated. We were wrastling around the floor when the cops came" Both are charged with breach of the peace and intoXication.
 Three charges. intoXication, breach of the peace and resistance. were filed early this morning against Frank Salinardi of Ridge street. He will be given hearing tomorrow morning.

SCHOOL FUND DTVERTIBLE TO DRAINAGE WORK
City Corporation
 Counsel's Opinion
 Goes To Aldermen
Board Expected to Authorize Start of Work Following Netting Tonight - O'ConnOr Puts Operations in Category of Usual Run of Such Operations

Corporab bn Counsel Charles $. O'Connor t-day filed with City Clerk Edward O'onnell an opinion on the right of tn city to use a portion of the one ad one-half mill school building fud for drainage purposes on the site If the proposed new Fair lawn Mand school. Attorney O'Con- nor declini to announce what his opinion wa but it was reliably re- ported thathis statement, to be read to the aldrmen at their regular monthly meting tonight, will be to the effect ttt the funds may be used for draina$ purposes in the con- struction o the building.
 At the lat meeting of the alder men the finl approval of the expen- diturc for te new school was held up when tn question was raised as to the legally of using the building funds for te purpose of installing a drainage gstem on the land.
 While Aiorney O'Connor would not authorb any statement to-day, it is underIood that he has taken
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-06-01

the stand that drainage of any foun- datoins or land connected with a structure is part of the construc- ton work. just as it would be in the event of any erection activities, and may be met out of the one and one half mill fund.
 The aldermen tonight, therefore. are expected to authorize the start of the work by formally approving the necessary appropriation.
 No action will be taken tonight on the proposed ordinance taxing outdoor signs. This matter, it was said to-day, will be allowed to lay over until the fall. The ordinance is now practically ready for presenta- tion and is in conformity with other ordinances in force throughout the cities of the country.
 The aldermen are not expected, either, to take action tonight on filling the vacancy in the force of city constables. There is vacancy on the democratic side, due to the death some timme ago of Consta ble Philip Henes.
