The Bureau Of Fisheries is very
much interested in your proposal to
re-establish the shad hatchery near
Havre de Grace, Maryland. AS you
know this hatchery was discontinued
for the reason that there was insuffi-
cient spawn available to operate the
hatchery economically. The Bureau
will be glad to check it's report of the
shad fisheries in the upper bay with
the object of determining whether the
catch of fish is sufficient to yield an
adequate supply of eggs. If this in
formation indicates that there has
been change in the conditions which
prompted the closure, we will be glad
to give further consideration to the
project.
shall be glad to discuss the mat
ter with you at your convenience.
Very truly yours.

Owners Have Two Years to Re-
deem Property From
Purchasers.

The District will collect approx
mately S175,000 in delinquent taxes as
a result of the annual tax deed "auc-
ton which ended Tuesday. it was re-
ported by Tax Collector Chatham M.
Towers.
He said the total bids Of private
buyers probably would not exceed that
sum- although delinquent tax payments
totaling more than 81 900, 900 were
subject to the sale this year. These bids
were made for the most part by repre-
sentatives of banks, trust companies
and mortgage concerns.
The remainder of the tax deeds sub
ject to the sale will be retained by the
District government.
When the sale first was advertised
there were more than $4,000 parcels
subject to sale, but this was reduced
to about $4,000 as delinquent tax pay
ers brought in payments due in the
past year.
Property owners, whose deeds were
purchased by private individuals, will
have two years in which to redeem
their holdings. by payment Of back
taxes, penalties and interest at 8 per
cent.

Immediate action by the District
Commissioners toward making available
$4,000 for the engineering study Of

commended in a motion by the Execu-
tive Committee Of the Randle High

ing last night in the eleventh precinct

Adelbert w. Lee, president of the
man of the Bridge Committee Of the

take up this matter with Maj. Gotwals
It was pointed out at the meeting
that the Commissioners already have
set aside $4,000 for the engineering
study of the Chain Bridge which, sta
tistics show, has daily traf1ic amounting
to approximately $500 cars. whereas
the Pennsylvania avenue bridge trafnc
reaches $4,000 vehicles day. It was
foot of South Capitol street and at
Massachusetts, avenue were contem-
plated in the near future. These
bridges would link the city with the
parks that are being made across the
river and would be for beautifying
purposes only, while the new bridge at
Pennsylvania avenue would serve q
community that is in need OF a bridge,
not so much for beautifying purposes
as for commercial purposes, and to
connect a fast-growing community
with the city itself
A second motion. protesting chang
ing the name of L'Enfant Square at
the intersection of Pennsylvania ave-
nue. and Minnesota avenue to Twining
Square, was presented by the associa
ton. The president of the associa-
ton said he had learned from an au-
thoritative source the name had already
been changed and that the narae LEN

fronting the new Commerce building,
formerly the site of the old Polls

The group also adopted q resolution
recommending the repeal of the old
hacking law and the installation of a
system by which cabling would be
done from a central place of business,
thus relieving the congestion now
caused by the cruising of the cabs.
Recommendation that the position Of

Army officer, be filled by a civilian
was tndorsed by the association.
Feeling the congested traffic area at
Rhode Island avenue and Twelfth

the opening of Montana avenue from
Twelfth street to Brentwood road, the
association adopted motion that this
be done.
The proposal of a stringent va
grancy law for the District of Colum-
bia and the fingerprinting Of all citi-
zens was advocated by the group.
Asserting there is a fragrant viola
ton of the double-parking law, the
