reported the remodeling proposal is
feasible the governor said. j. A.
Dinnie, Grand Forks, who has had
experience in contracting work, will
inspect the building Monday, the
governor said, and will recommend
the amount necessary to put it in
shape for temporary use.
The plan Is to knock down the up
per walls Of the north wing, put up
a wall at the south end, construct q
roof to house the structure and re-
model the interior.
The north wing, under the old ar
rangement, housed the ~treasurer's
and auditors offices, department of
agriculture and labor, and parts of
the offices occupied by the state board
OF administration, state insurance de-
partments and state land department.
The governor said no estimate has
been made Of the amount of rent
that could be saved if offices were
housed in the remodelled section, but
the amount saved would be several
times the cost Of remodelling.
Two years Of college training would
be required Of persons seeking IL
censes for practicing healing in North
Dakota under q measure introduced
in the senate by William Renwick,
Pembina county.
Would Have General Effect
The proposal would affect persons
desiring to practice medicine, osteo-
pathy, chiropractic, '"or any other
form Of the healing art or method
Of preventative or curative treat
ment that now is or may hereafter
be recognized by the law of this
state"
Under the present law, licenses are
granted to certain practitioners of
the healing art but no requirements
are made for college training. i
The measure proposes that a
board of pre-professional examiners"
headed by the superintendent of
public instruction. be set up to pass
on whether persons applying for
licenses have the proper qualifica-
lions. Other members of the board
would be the heads of the depart
ments Of chemistry and physics Of
the state agricultural college: the
head of the department of biology
Of the University of North Dakota,
and the registrar of the university,
who would act as executive officer.
It is proposed that no person shall
be eligible to obtain q license to prac-
tice healing, unless such a person Is
at least 81 years old and shall have
completed, with the required passing
grades. two years Of college or uni
verSity work in the state agricultural
college, University Of North Dakota,
or some school of equal standing. The
work required must include at least
IL hours In inorganic, analytical and
organic chemistry. eight hours of
physics and and eight hours of BIZ
ology.
To Pass on Credentials
The duty of the board Of pre-pro-
fessional examiners would be to pass
on the credentials Of any person APP
plying for q pre-professional certif-
icate, or for permission to take an
examination for a license to practice
healing.
When an applicant receives a pre-
professional certificate, he could then
apply for a license to the boards,
which, under the present law, grant
licenses to healers. Such boards now

include those on chiropractic, and
osteopathy.
Medical doctors would not be af-
fected by the measure, as they are
required to complete the regular
university course Of study before they
r granted a license by the state
board of medical examiners.
Senator Nels Magnuson, Bottineau
county, presented a measure which
would require domestic mutual in
surance companies, except life IN
strance firms. TO notify the mort
gagee of a policy when the contingent
mutual liabilities have not been paid
on the policy. The mortgage would
then be given 20 days after the date
of notice to pay such premium and
liabilities, and In default of such pay
ments the liability of the company
to the mortgage would cease.
Licensing Of oleonargarine dealers
was proposed in a bill introduced in
the house by Representative Ole o.
Sundby, Nonpartisan, Mclean county.
Copies Montana Law
The measure, which Sundby said
was modelled after the Montana law
governing butter substitutes. would
require wholesale dealers to pay a
$1,000 yearly license fee and retailers
q $500 annual license fee.
Sundays bill would prohibit the
printing Of the word butter" on
containers of butter substitutes or
any other substitute not made entire
ly from milk fat. It would also pro-
hibit' manufacture or sale Of any sub
stance made of vegetable or animal
fats or oils, not made from milk or
cream, colored In any shade Of vel
low.
Hotels and restaurants using butter
substitutes would be required to
"place placards, plainly legible from
all parts OF the dining room, marked
'oleomargarine' OF renovated butter
Gas the case may be- used here"
Printing of the word oleomargarine
'in plain, black, boldfaced letters,
one-half inch high also would be
necessary under provisions Of the
bill. The same measure also pro-
hibits the use of any oleaginous SUBJ
stance not derived from milk, to be

CLEANUP DRIVE
TO BREAK RECORD
Painting and Garden Building
on Program for Two
Weeks in April.

With a larger scope contemplated
than that undertaken by any similar
campaign ever conducted in Washing
ton, the 1881 cleanup campaign will
get under way April 20, extending for
two weeks or more.
The Planning Committee yesterday
announced the drive was intended TO
achieve not only cleaning up of rub
Dish, but also garden building, house
painting, TenoVating of business eStab-
lishments and lectures to school chill

at a business meeting. Col. Edward
Goring Bliss was elected chairman of
the Planning Committee and George j.
Adams executive secretary. Other mem
bers of the committee are Elwood
Street, director of the Community
Chest; William A. Roberts, assistant
corporation counsel; Maj. Donald A.
Dawson, Assistant Engineer Commits
sioner, and Frederic A. Delano. Cam
paign headquarters will be located in
the District Building.
The campaign made its initial radio
appeal last night over WRC, when Mr..
Adams spoke. In the course of his
address Mr.. Adams said the work would
tend to relieve unemployment by pro-
viding jobs for hundreds Of people now
out Of work.
1t also was pointed out that mas
much as next year marks the George
Washington Bicentennial. the Capital
should look its best For this reason.
Mr.. Adams said, more emphasis should
be placed on the annual cleanup cam
paign than ever before.

CURBS AND CUTTERS
IN, REASSESSMENTS
: New Levies on Street Work Under
Modified Borland Act Will
Be Slightly Lower.

Taxpayers assessed for street i'm
proYements under the Borland law dur
ing the past three years and who are
TO be reassesSed under the terms of the
modified act approved February 81, will
have not only assessments for the street
work but also assessments for curb and
gutter made under the authority Of the
act OF 1894 cancelled, and reaSSeSsed
under the terms Of the new act. The
reassessmentS will in all cases be slight
~ less than the original assessments.
Under the act Of 1894 the property
owners in given lot were assessed in
proportion to the amount of frontage
Of their property for the cost of the
curb and gutter in their block
Under the neT act the assessment
will be made only for the curb between
building lines in the Intersections, and
the curb projecting beyond the building
line will be paid for by the District.
There was some question whether un-
der the act Of 1894 the Commissioners
had authority to assess for gutter The
word gutter" however, was especially
put into the new act so as to eliminate
this question in the future.

Representative Holiday and
Gen. Crosby Confer on
Needed Reforms.
LEGISLATION PLANNED
FOR NEXT DECEMBER
Better Discipline and New Trial
Rules Proposed as Needs of
Department.

Proposals for legislation to give the
District Commissioners greater author
ity in reorganization and administration
of the Police Department will be pre-
sented to Congress when it meets next
December, it was stated yesterday by
Representative William P. Holiday of
Illinois, who will be chairman of the
subcommittee on District appropriations.
Representative Holiday has been con-
ferring with Maj. Gen. Herbert D.
Crosby, District Commissioner in charge
of the Police Department, and said that
they are looking forward to some con-
structive reorganization of the police
force as a result Of careful study"
Police Work Studied.
Gen. Crosby is making a study of the
Police Department. Representative Hol-
aday said, and Is devoting considerable
time TO planning just how it can be
made more efficient. He Is expected TO
have his recommendations ready this
Fall. Representative Holiday plans to
interest himself in this subject after he
returns to Washington about June 10
and will have conferences with Gen.
Crosby from time to time.

the law by giving the Commissioners
more power along the lines of maintain
ing better discipline" said Representa-
tive Holiday, but he admitted that as
yet no definite conclusions have been
reached regarding just what the changes
should be.
Trial Rules Hit.
He pointed out, however, that "at the
present time charges are filed against
policemen, and then there has to be a
hearing before other members regu-
lar trial. Those trial rules should be
changed. Gen. Crosby has various
ideas and plans regarding administra-
tive details, looking toward some reor-
ganization of the force, but nothing
radical. He is giving the matter careful
and thorough consideration"
Representative Holiday will return to
Washington in June to participate in
the conference Of the Mapes special
committee which is investigating the
fiscal relations between the Federal and
District governments. The Mapes Com
mittee expects to receive at that time a
report from its paid tax expert, who is
preparing comparisons in tax rates be-
tween Washington and other cities.

D. c. STUDIES PLAN
TO BUY SAND BEDS
GotWaIS viii Ask Dual Bids on
Own Supply Scheme for
Road Jobs.

In view Of the recent sharp increases
in the price Of sand and gravel, coming
at the outset of the Districts highway
building season, Engineer Commissioner
John G. Gotwals yesterday decided TO
ask in all future highway contracts for
alternative figures for the jobs on the
basis of the contractor supplying the
sand and gravel, and on the basis Of a
supply of these materials by the Dis
On February % the Smoot Sand 81
Gravel Co. and the Columbia Sand d
Gravel Co., which do practically the en-
tire business locally, announced sub
stantial increases in the prcies OF their
product. Gravel went from 81 to $3.50
per ton; concrete sand from 55 to IS
cents per ton and asphalt sand from 85
cents to $l.2o per ton.
Total Cost Rises $4,000.
Based on the calculation Of Capt.
Herbert c. Whitehurst, District high
way engineer, this would mean an in
crease in material costs for the High
way Department alone of $107,60l, and,
taking the other departments in the
District government in consideration,
the increase would be about $4,000.
Commissioner Gotwals said that he
felt this was particularly bad time

money that he can possibly get for the
employment of labor. In highway con-
struction work the District gets lump
sum appropriations and the more
money it spends on materials the less
it has available for labor. Maj. Got
walls wants to have the comparative
bids so that he will be able TO show
Congress how much could be saved II
the District supplied the sand and
gravel. If the savings appear impress
siye enough, then he intends to ask
for authority and appropriations for the
District TO set up sand and gravel works
and 60 into the business itself.
Action Must Wait.
Any action in this regard, however,
could not come until the next f1scal
year, and in the meantime, apparently,
the District must pay the increased
price, as it would be more expensive
to buy the sand and gravel from out :
side sources, on account OF the nigh
! freight rates, either by rail or water,
on materials as heavy as sand and
gravel.
II Is estimated that the Highway De-
| partment will need 2l3,699 tons OF
! gravel, l17,l28 tons Of concrete sand
| and 1886 tons Of asphalt sand Tor Jus
! coming working season. The asphalt
sand is sand which has been passed
| through a finer screen than the con-
crete sand and is therefore more ex-
| pensive.

Urges Credit Unions.
In referring to the credit union bill

such a law, and am glad to know
that the people Of Washington had
nothing but praise for the bill at the
public hearing held by the committee.
The bill was passed by the Senate, but
expired in the legislative jam in the
House."
Referring to the safety responsibility
bill, Senator Capper said it would give
the District a law which has proved
successful elsewhere. land would be a
deterrent to the irresponsible and care

House. but did not get through the

ANACOST|A PLANS
INCLUDE BARRACKS
Work Will Begin This Spring
on Making Air Station
Permanent Base.

The first step toward establishment
of the Anacostia Naval Air Station as
permanent naval base will begin this
Spring with the construction of a
$4,000 barracks for enlisted men, the
first building of a permanent type to
be erected at the station
The barracks building is to be con-
Structed on land at the station now
occupied by the present single-story
wooden barracks. Demolition of the
present barracks will begin as soon as
the men can be moved into a two-story
frame barracks building now being
erected farther south on the station,
near the radio building:
The new permanent barracks build
ing Is to be of the most modern type,
Of brick construction. It is part Of an
extensive program of improvement now
being carried on at the local station
under the direction of Comdr. A. H.
Douglas, commandment, whose tour of
duty here is to expire early In the
Summer.
Light Plant Nearly Ready.
Construction of a thoroughly modern
electrical installation at the station, at
a cost of $4,000, now is nearing COM
pletion and there has been completed
two-motor test stand building of
steel and concrete construction, in
which airplane engines may be sub
jected to thorough block tests. This
is in line with the development of the
station as the flight test base for the
Navy Bureau of Aeronautics.
Construction OF heating units for the
two big hangers at the station has just
been completed. The hangers have
been insulated to prevent the escape of
heat through their metal sides and
roofs.
An interior wash stand has been
completed In the downstream hangar
and airplaneS now may be washed on
the coolest days. The width of the con-
crete apron and warming-up platform
extending from the hangers to the
flying field is being doubled.
Wires to Be Buried.
Work is to begin in a few days
changing telephone, light and power
lines from overhead poles to under
ground conduits, Comdr. Douglas said.
"Air-n1arking" of the station has
just been completed. Improvement of
the system of concrete roads through
the station, begun two years ago, is
being completed.
Filling and grading of large portion
Of the flying field, used jointly by the
Navy and the Army Air Corps, has been
in progress during the Winter. An
Army dredge, operating In the Eastern
Branch, pumped material from the
river bottom to raise the grade of many
acres of the field, giving a drainage
slope toward the river and greatly i'm
proving the condition of the area. This
fill win be allowed to settle for several
months before final grading is COM
pleted.
1t is hoped an airplane assembly shop
may be constructed soon to remove this
type Of work from the hangers.
