Clarksburg Residence
Destroyed By Blaze

Fire yesterday destroyed the two
story frame residence of Clifford
Snowden, about a mile from Clarks-
burg. Volunteer fremen from the
Gaithersburg- Washington Grove and
Hyattstown Departments saved most
of the furniture.
No water was available except that
in the booster tanks of the fire en-
gines. The Snowden family was awak-
ened by the fire and smoke about 4:30
o'clock and escaped. Damage was esti-
mated at $4,000.

Street Car Abandonment Appears
10 Be Favored Providing Adequate
Bus Service Is Substituted Here
Town Council Will Make Fight To Get Approved Con-
tract From Bus Lines-Chamber of Commerce Is
Mailing QuestiOnnaires To Ascertain Sentiment
Public Meeting Wednesday Night

lt seems that majority of the
people of Rockville favor the aban-
donment of the present street car
system provided an adequate bus
service is substituted. The Town
Council has pointed out that nothing
but a fool-proof contract will suit
its members and that some real guar
antee of adequate service must be
provided if street cars are to be sup
planted here.
Nearly all of the progressive bust
ness men of Rockville favor doing
away with the street cars. They want
better parking facilities and believe
that the street cars in no way aid
business in the county seat, but rath-
er, are a detriment of increased
business.
Several of the council have also
emphasized the fact that the streets
will have to be torn up in event of
the removal of the tracks. Some one
will have to foot the bill for the paw
ing of Montgomery avenue. The coun-
Gil is primarily interested in this
phase of the question. The Capital
Transit Company, which is holding
company over the Washington and
Rockville Railway Company, also
owns the right-of-way from the town
to the District Line. Members of
the council want to know what will
become of this strip of land. Who
will pay the cost of acquiring this
strip, if the railway franchise is
annulled?
| A public meeting has been called
by the Town Council for next We'd
nesday night at the Fire house. Res
idents of Rockville and vicinity will
be heard on the matter.
Meanwhile the Public Utilities
Committee Of the Rockville Chamber
of Commerce is mailing question
naires to over 400 residents of Rock
vile and nearby sections asking the
opinion of citizens on the matter.
The committee Tuesday night ad-
dressed a letter to j. H. Hanna,
president of the Capital Transit
Company, setting forth the PROPOSE
ton that the Chamber is studying
the problem and wants fair esti-
mate on the proposed abandonment
Of the street car lines before taking
sides in the matter.
The following letter was sent to
President Hanna:
"Mr. ]. H. Hanna, President,
Capital Transit Company,
Washington, D. c.
"Dear Mr.. Hanna:
"At the February meeting of the
Rockville Chamber of Commerce a
resolution was introduced and re-

half dozen planes. But it would be
an easy matter for Century to take
over American Always equipment
and start transcontinental service.
Mr.. Cord gained national publicity
two years ago-in behalf of his
Century Air Lines-when he made
an offer to the house postoffice
committee to fly all the mails at
half the price the contractors then
were charging.
A few months thereafter, he again
gained national publicity when the
service of his line was disrupted by
a strike of his pilots, who charged
that they were being paid only a
fraction of the wages pilots of other
lines received. Nothing more was
heard from him until he popped up
in control of American Always.

STATE RELIEF
PLAN ADOPTED
CWA Workers viii Return
to Poor Rolls Under
New Program.

Details Of the plan to return the
majority of CWA workers to the
poor relief rolls we're being worked
out today, following adoption of a
program yesterday afternoon by the
Governors commission on unem-
ployment relief.
Indiana's allotment from federal
emergency relief administration
funds for April is S1,3O0,OO0, while
the CWA pay roll ran more than
S1,500,000 a week.
Orders from Washington are to
substitute FERA for CWA on April
l. The state commission plans on
having the entire program under
way by April 9.
Liquidation of CWA forces has
been going on throughout the
month.
Under the FERA setup, work re-
lief will be provided in siXty-five
counties designated as urban areas
and particularly in cities of more
than 5000.
Mlnlmum wage is 81 cents an
hour with six-hour day and eight
een-hour work week for unskilled,
minimum of thirty hours a month
for skilled and semi-skilled.
Subsistence garden plots are part
of the program for families in the
small towns and rural areas.
Rehabilitation of IS trand e
groups" that is unemployed workers
who, it is concluded, never again
will be able to earn a living at
their trade, is another point in the
program adopted.
The commission announced that
the townships will have to finance,
without help from the state COM
mission, all relief for cases not pro-
vided for in the urban and rural

ACTION ON VETO
WINS PRAISE OF
VETERAN UNITS
V. F. w. State Commander
Says Bonus Should
Come Next.

Officials Of veterans organizations
here today expressed qualification
at action Of the senate in over-rid-
ing President Roosevelt's veto OF the
independent offices appropriation
bill, thus giving additional benefits
to the veterans and increasing fed
eral employees pay.
They referred to the action as a
just move and one that will benefit
all classes in the country. Their
statements included:
Charles R. Michael, state COM
mander. Indiana department, Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars-Now the
bonus should come next. I've got
hope that the senate and the house
Of representatives will override the
Presidents veto on this measure.
The compensation measure over
ridden today couples with its res
tOration of pay for federal en-
ployes originally was a Veterans of
Foreign Wars bill. At our last con-
vention in Milwaukee we favored
the restoration of pay for govern
ment employees as we'll as drafting
the restoration of compensation for
border line cases.
I'm heartily elated over the &C
ton OF the senate. It'll prove a
boon to business and relieve the
taxpayer from supporting veterans
who have been on poor relief be-
cause of failure to receive compen-
sation from the government

gion State COMMANDMENTS has
been a great popular victory. Our
congressman have seen that the
propaganda against veterans paid
for by a scort of multimillionaires
under the banner of the National
Economy League was false.
Our American Legion principles
have been indicated. The restored
benefits will reach disabled veterans
OF Indiana in almost every town
and hamlet. The legion will con-
tinue to Cooperate with our gov
eminent to the end that justice and
fairness will prevail"

war veterans rests with the federal
government. The tax burden mere
ly will be shifted from the cities
to the national treasury"
Injustice Said Removed
Il understand that there are two
budgets in Washington, one that
balances and one that doesn't. The
government has been spending
money on recovery. They will can
afford to spend it on the war vet
eran.
World war veterans have been
made victims of economy cuts not
