RATSTERROR|ZE
EXCLUSIVE
STREET
Appeals to Health Officials
Fail to Bring Results;
Children in Danger

Fearful for the health and
safety of their children, residents
of the 3700 block Albermarle St.
N. w. today made an urgent ap-
peal to The washington Times
to aid in determination of swarmS
of huge rats that have created
virtual reign Of terror in the
neighborhood.
The appeal, it was said, was
made after numerous complaints
to the Health Department were
unavailing during the last several
months.
The rodents first appeared
when the District refuse depart
ment began filling with debris a
ravine less than 100 feet from a
row of houses. AS the rats in
creased in numbers, they became
bolder until they now are seen
in large numbers on the lawns
of the residents. A Washington
Times reporter counted about Is
of the animals on the nearby
dump and several were seen a
few feet from one of the houses.
Mrs. j. r. Faulconer, one of the
residents, said:
cat times we have counted
nearly $50 of them at one time.
1t has now reached point that
/ am afraid for my children to
play outside and 1 live in con-
slant fear that the rats will
soon lodge themselves in the
house. Something has just got
to be DONE"
Mrs. Faulconer said she and
other residents had made many
complaints to the Health Depart
ment and it was only because no
action has been taken that she
appealed to The Times.

Bad Tax; Good Answer
No tax is good tax; the enthusiasm for not paying
taxes is virtually UNIVERSAL but gather that taxes
ought to be levied in such way that they would not
become permanent, daily nuisance. So have assumed
that the motor taxes proposed by the OF
New York (Which is cutered with motor cars was not
a good one Yet even if it had been wise tax, should
be glad that public pressure had forced the Mayor to
sheive it. Because the creation of an angry public
opinion is one of the most important things govern
ment can do.
Actually meetings of protest were held people gave
their pleasure, and crowded INTO Ine
hearings on the proposed taxes Their pockets would be
instantly touched, and they wouldn't have it. IN the the

YCURBS
BUREAU Of
STANDARDS
About 80 to Lose Jobs July !
And Gripping of Activity
Seen in Personnel Loss

Work of the Bureau of Stand
ards will be severely crippled un-
der the administrative furlough
and cuts in personnel, it was ad-
mitted today by DR.. Lyman j..
Briggs, director.
Work of the Commercial Stand
ardization Division will be COM
pletely eliminated on July J..
Only a few contact men will pe
retained and about 30 employees
will lose their jobs. .
This division is concerned With
building material lines, textiles,
wood and metal work, paper,
leather, rubber and fuel oils.
975 In Doubt
The fate of the balance of the
975 employees in the bureau is un-
determined until the amount OF
authorizations to carry on the
work is known, DR.. Briggs said.
While the furlough is undoubt-
edly to be put in effect in an ef-
fort to retain employees, this sys-
tenn will badly cripple the work
of the department, the director
pointed out.
There are nearly 70 different
specialized sections in the bureau,
and more than 500 research
projects are always under way.
AS the work is highly technical,
it is impossible to furlough one
group of men and have another
group carry on.
Air Study Menaced
A most important work is that
of the aeronauticS division, which
for several years has been work.
ing on the problems of air bea-
cons, airplane running lights,
radio signals and other matters
connected with the development
and safety of aviation.
This work has been carried on
through funds furnished by the
Army, Navy and aeronautics
branch of the Department of
Commerce. and if these appro-
priations are not made this work
will have to cease, DR.. Briggs said.

30-YEAR LAW

District officials will begin,

passed by Congress, to determine
how the local government will be

It is the understanding Of the
local authorities that the law pro-
vides that, where the number OF
employees of a department must
be reduced for economy reasons,
the department head may recon-
mend certain persons, who have
served more than 80 years, for re-
tirement.
The list of persons thus recon-
mended for separation from the
service will then be approved by
the Commissioners and sent on to
the President for final approval.
