LOGICAL SZ.TE,' }
TRADE BODY
CONTENDS
Potomac Park Plan ASsaiIed
BY Committee Chairman
As Improper Place

Gravelly Point was urged today
by Clarence A. Miller, chairman
of the aviation committee of the
Washington Board of Trade, as
the most logical" site for model
municipal airport for the District
of Columbia.
Condemning the recent proposal
to convert East Potomac Park
into an airport, Mr.. Miller ad-
Vanced three reasons for the COM
mittee's selection of Gravelly
Point.
Benefits of Site
This site, he stated, is accessible
to planes by both land and water.
1t is accessible to downtown Wash
ington, being only ID minutes from
Union Station and IL minutes
from the leading downtown hotels.
Mr.. Miller also pointed out that
the site is easily available to the
District because it is Government
owned.
The aviation committee arrived
at its selection of Gravelly Point
after thorough study of all avail.
able sites and after weighing the
good and bad points of washing
ton Airport and other sites, Mr..
Miller said.
East Potomac Park, more popu-
larly known as Hains Point, Is an
improper" site, Mr.. Miller stated.
because it would deprive Washing.
tonians of a great amount OF
their recreational facilities" He
continued:
what would be the advantage
of selecting a site for an airport
which would deprive Washing
tOnians of great amount OF
their recreatiOnal facilities?
BETTER SUITED
"It appears to me that on the
face of it, it is unthinkable when
we have site, such as Gravelly
Point, which is better suited for
airport purposes, and which
would not take away a splendid
park"
Mr.. Miller is also of the opinion
that the Washington Airport and
Hoover Field should be turned
over to Arlington National Gene
terry. He stated that the cemetery
needs additional burial ground
and that is the logical place to
acquire it.

he engaged Drs. Herbert =.
Smathers and Edwin C. Yost,
900 block I st. N. w., on June
5, 1888, for the extraction Of a

planned that before the tooth

SLASH OPPOSED
IN BUDGET FOR
|. D. c. SCHOOLS
Board of Education Fights to
Restore 100000 Cut
From Its Estimate

Members of the District School
Board today appeared before the
House District appropriations SUBJ
committee to plead for resotra-
ton of the 100000 Topped off
their estimates for 1896 by the
Budget Bureau.
AS the school budget went to
the bureau, it called for expendi.
lures totalling $12,O05,962, but
this sum was reduced by $400,-
900. Today is the first time
these figures have been revealed.
The Budget Bureau recommen-
dations, which the subcommittee
now has before it, allocates the
school funds as follows: Operat-
ing expenses, $10,820,962; build.
ings and grounds, $1,11O,000; for
purchase of sites for future use,
$4,000.
Above This Year
Although the total recon-
mended by the Budget Bureau
for the coming fiscal year is not
as much as the District heads
asked, consolation is gained from
the fact that the 1885 budget
figures is more than 100000
larger than the appropriation by
Congress for the current year.
It is understood that the only
new construction project approved
by the Budget Bureau are an item
of $215,O0O for starting work on
two wings of the AnacoStia
senior high school, and an item
for the acquisition of additional
land for the John F. Cook col
ored school on P Street between
North Capitol and First Street
Northwest.
The Anacostia project, which is
to cost $315,000 will, when COM
pleted, be an innovation in Wash
ington, as there is no other school
here at present in which both
senior and junior high classes are
carried on.
Fight on TaximeterS
It was also learned today that
Representative Tom Blanton CD
of Texas carried the taximeter
fight before the committee. He
placed in the record a letter
from William NICK. Clayton,
chairman of the public utilities
committee of the Federation of
Citizens Associations, criticizing
the stand which he said had been
taken by William A. Roberts,
Peoples Counsel. Mr.. Roberts
has denied that he has taken
any position in the fight.
Mr.. Blanton also voiced oppo-
sition to the salary of $4,5OO
which is paid to Miss Sibyl
Baker, superintendent of District
Fairgrounds. He contends that
the salary is higher than that
paid to some judges and edu-
Gators, who, he argued, have
more important jobs than the
playground head.

DRIVE To GUT
AUTODEATHS
New Laws, Strict Enforcement
Sought as Fatalities
Set New Mark

Additional legisla 10 n and
Stricter enforcement of the present
regulations will be sought to re-
duce the appalling death rate in
traffic accidents in Washington,
Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen
announced today.
The death of Charles L. Pruett,
22-year-old first class seaman at
tached to the Naval Air Station,
in traffic accident yesterday,
brought the Districts fatality toll
to 1875, which is higher than any
other year in the history of the
city.
Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer, Superintendent of Police
Ernest w. Brown, and Traffic In
spector Benjamin A. Lamb, were
called for an emergency session
tomorrow morning to discuss the
advisability of assigning a special
squad of motorcycle policemen to
patrol highways and strictly en-
force the driving regulations.
Reckless Drivers Target
Arrests will be made, under the
plan, of motorists for reckless
driving, running over sidewalks,
failing to give right of way,
turning without signalling, WeaV-
ing in and out of traffic, and
speeding.
The squad will concentrate on
special streets until the motor
lists are educated" in the proper
method of driving.
In addition, the Commissioners
are considering the impounding
of automobiles for violations of
parking restrictions. In an opin-
ion presented by the corporation
counsel, the police department
can impound vehicles for VIOLA
ton of such regulations as park
ing on crosswalkS, near fireplugs
and in any manner which con-
stitutes a hazard to traffic.
Speed Increased
Commissioner Hazen stated that
in his opinion the primary reasons
for the increase of traffic fatali-
ties in the city are an increase in
the number of automobiles, the
increase in the speed of auto
mobiles, and the disrespect people
have for the traffic regulations.
The District head pointed out
that a motorcycle squad such as
is planned would bring about
respect for the law.
Also under consideration are
two legislative measures, one to
require safety responsibility for
motorists and the other requiring
compulsory inspection of all We
hicles semiannually to insure me-
chanical safety features.
Traffic Lights Ignored
Traffic lights and stop signs
may be effective enough if a
policeman is about, but many
motorists here can't resist the
temptation to pass them up when
the law is looking the other
way.
During the week of December
6 the city's secret traffic observ.
ers caught 81 drivers ignoring
stop signs and 38 failing to heed
the traffic lights. The two Of
fenses led the list of violations,
the weeks report revealed today,
Traffic violations for the week
numbered 1874, with Is permits
revoked.
