CHILD LABOR ACT
EXEMPTS CENTERS
Opinion Says Performances
Charging Admission Do Not
Violate Law.

The District Commissioners yesterday
transmitted to the Board Of Education
an opinion by Corporation Counsel Will
liam w. Bride holding that activities IN
the Community Center Department at
which admission fees are charged do not
violate the letter or the spirit" of the
child labor act, forbidding the gainful
occupation of minors except under GER
tain conditions.
AS to one branch of the activities re-
garding which the board raised the
question, those operating as a part of
the course of instruction such as dra-
matte, literary, musical, dancing, basket
ball or competitive drills, the same
answer was given.
Mr.. Bride held that an amusement or
entertainment may. and frequently does,
become a gainful occupation within the
meaning Of the statute, but that when
merely occasional or casual it does not
seem to fall within the inhibition of
the statute.

STREET DEFENDS
CHEST OVERHEAD
Expenses Pay for Them
selves Through Increased
Service, He Says.

Overhead expenses Of organizations
affiliated with the Community Chest
more than pay for themselves through
increased and more effective service,
Elwood Street, Chest director, declared
yesterday.
There is a tendency among many
people, unfamiliar with social work and
its practices and responsibilities, Street
said, ito regard every dollar spent for
anything except food, fuel or clothing
as overhead They fail to take into
consideration, for instance, an organi-
zation like the Instructive Visiting
Nurse Society, which grants practically
no relief In the way of food, clothing,
shelter or fuel and yet does one of the
most worthwhile tasks known to social
work, caring for the sick and disabled,
who otherwise would not receive care.
Costs Of Salaries.
"All of the budget of this organiza-
ton, with the exception of rent for
quarters, telephone, light, etc, gees to
salaries and would be claSSed under the
general ruling in the mind of the pub
costs are primarily the costs of execu-
tive salaries, Office rent and telephone
service.
In the Instructive Visiting Nurse
Society there are 66 nurses serving the
sick In their own homes throughout the
city. A central Office where calls for
service can be cleared Is an absolute
necessity If this work Is to be COM
petently handled. There must be q
clearing house to which calls for serv-
Ice can be sent"
Street said competent leadership in
otner Chest organizations also pays its
way many times over in providing eco
nomlcal service. He said the cost of
overhead or administration averages
about per cent.
Overhead Pays Its Way"
The fundamental task, of course. of
all Community Chest organizations is
70 render service to people in all kinds
OF need OF all races and creeds. That
service should not be confused with
overhead. Uninformed people are
sometlmes heard to say they want their
taoney gwen TO the Community Chest
orphan asylums, for example, only a
small part of the money spent goes for
1000 or clothing. The job of the or
phan asylum is not only to feed and
ciothe Its little charges, but to give them
the best kind Of care through matrons,
mouse mothers, nurses and other neces-
Sary attendants. Obviously, service
Wmch the child receives is necessary
to make the food of any value.

CREATION Of GROUP
FORENG|NEER|NG
SURVEYS PROPOSED
Special Corps Would Help
Prepare Bridge and Grade
Crossing Program.
$500, 900 FUND SOUGHT
FOR ANACOSTIA BRIDGE
Commissioners Also Want Old P
Street Structure Over Rock
Creek Replaced.

Creation Of special corps Of engi-
neers to make surveys and engineering
Investigations of bridges and grade
crossing structures Is provided for in an
item recommended for inclusion in the
1888 District appropriation bill by Dis
trict highway officials.
Capt. H. c. Whitehurst, director of
highways, told the House Subcommittee
on Appropriations during hearings on
the District budget that the proposed
staff of engineers would permit the
Highway Department properly to plan
and study bridge and grade crossing de-
signs and locations and prepare neceS-
sary estimates as to costs in advance
of inclusion of the projects in the
estimates of the District Commissioners.
Budget Carries $102, 500 Item.
The plan. Capt. Whitehurst said, will
allow consultation and cooperation with
other Government agencies and permit
the preparation of bridge and grade
crossing program that will prove '"inval-
liable and economical"
The budget as recommended by the
Commissioners, Capt. Whitehurst
pointed out, carries an item of $102, 500
for the construction and operation of
bridges and the preparation of plans
for viaducts in the line of Michigan
avenue and New Hampshire avenue
over the tracks and right-of-way of
the Baltimore g. Ohio Railroad.
The Commissioners also recon-
mended an appropriation of 100000,
Capt Whitehurst explained, for con-
struction of new bridge over the Ana
costa River at Benning road. The
Washington Railway & Electric Co.,
whose tracks cross the bridge, would
be required to pay one-third Of the
cost. Plans for the new bridge were
authorized in the current appropriation
act.
Bridge Replacement Sought.
Another bridge improvement sought
by the Commissioners is the replace
ment of the P Street Bridge over Rock
Creek. Funds for the preparation of
plans for this project also were pro-
vided In the current appropriation act.
It is estimated the replacement cost
will amount to $250,000.
Capt. Whitehurst told the committee
the present P Street Bridge, aside from
being old and inadequate for present
traffic needs. constitutes an obstruction
to completion Of the Rock Creek ana
Potomac Parkway.
The Commissioners also recon-
mended an appropriation for working
drawings and foundation Investigations
for the replacement of the Calvert
Street Bridge. Capt. Whitehurst said
it is the intention of the Commissioners
to start construction of this new bridge
in the 1884 fiscal year.
