SUBWAY PROJECT
TO Be SUBMITTED
Burkart Tells Utilities Com.
mission Plans Are Be-
ing Drawn.

A proposal for construction of a
subway in the District is being pre-
pared and will be forwarded to the
Public Utilities Commission, accord
ing to a letter received by the COM
mission today from Joseph A. Burkart,
attorney.
Burkarts proposal is the revival Of
an attempt to form a private corpo-
ration in 1912 to construct a subway
from Union Station to the Capitol
and thence along Pennsylvania ave-
nue. to the Treasury and by way of
Vermont avenue and Fourteenth
street to Thomas Circle with sur
face line from Thomas Circle to
Thirty third street and Western
avenue.
A bill for that purpose was intro
duced in 1912, but never passed. Ac-
it is proposed to construct the subway
with private funds, but an application
will be made to the Public Works
Administration for financial assist
ance.
The line of the new proposed sub
way. it was said, will start at Union
Station and run along Louisiana and
Indiana avenues to Seventh street and
Pennsylvania avenue. 1t will follow
Pennsylvania avenue to Thirteenth
street, north on Thirteenth street to
Park road and Piney Branch road. and
thence to Fifth street in Takoma Park.
Another proposed subway route
starts at Thirteenth street and Massa-
chusetts avenue and extends west on
Massachusetts avenue to Hamilton
Circle and Idaho avenue, just beyond
the National Cathedral.

ROBERTS OPPOSES
DOUBLE TRACKING
Tells Commission Extra Fa.
ciIitieS on Kennedy Are
Not Necessary.
Peoples Counsel William A. Roberts

Peoples Counsel William A. Roberts
today filed with the Public Utilities
Commission a protest against its pro-
posed order requiring the double-track
ing Of Kennedy street east of Georgia
avenue with double track connections
into the Georgia avenue tracks.
Under the commissions proposed
order, which has not yet been def
nitely settled upon, all street car serv-
ice from the Takoma Park area would
come east along Kennedy street and
thence south into Georgia avenue.
None Of it would travel south by way
Of Fourteenth street as at present, and
the connection on Kennedy street be-
tween Georgia avenue and Fourteenth
street would be abandoned.
Suggests Single Branch.
Roberts suggested that few OF the
Takoma cars might be brought down
Georgia avenue by putting a single
track branch-off at the intersection of
Georgia avenue and Kennedy street,
and suggested that additional bus
service be instituted, reaching out into
Takoma Park, Md, operating over
Fifth street or some other street lying
between Georgia avenue and Third
street, passing Fourteenth street and
Colorado avenue and coming down.
town by way of Thirteenth street.
He opposed the large investment
which would be required by the in
stallation Of double tracks in Kennedy
street and the double track branch
of into Georgia avenue.
Discusses Bus Preference.
In speaking of his preference for
bus over street car service, he SAID:
THE rapid growth of transportation
by individual motor car and the gen.
eral falling off of mass TRANSPORTATION
patronage under this competition has
also hampered the transition (from
street car to bus service, but in the
light Of the experience of the last
10 years it is a brave soul who can
persist in position that mass trans
portation over steel rails will be other
than a museum curiosity within the
next 80 years"

HOUS|NGPROGRAM
HERE LEADS j. s.
Greater Success Is Seen in
District Than in ANY
State.

The national housing program has
attained greater success in Washing
ton than in any State in the Union,
It was learned today at the Federal
Housing Administration.
Figures presented by F. H A. show
the Capital has a far better record
in connection with the moderniZation
drive than any other section. Ad-
ministration records show that up to
November %, local banks granted 679
insurable loans to property owners
for modernization, representing a
total valuation of s358.93852.
In addition, the 20 building and
loan associations here have made an
equal number of repair and improve
ment loans which are not insurable
under F. H A. rules because of pro-
vision in their charters that prohibits
the making of a loan on the short
terms required under Title I of the
housing act.
Comparing the loans granted here
by the number of owner occupied
dwellings, the housing administration
found that the District leads the
country on a ratio basis, with Cali
fornia second. In that State more
than $2,400,000 has been spent, but
its record by comparison Is not as
Oood aS that of this citv
It was stated that while the figures
for the various States include prac-
tically all 'modernization" loans,
those for Washington do not include
the approximately $50 loans, totaling
about s35O.000 made by building and
loan associations.

HENDERSON ESTATE
SETTLEMENT SIGNED
Justice Cox Approves Division
Decided Upon a Year Ago.
$41,897 for Mrs. Wholean.

The long controversy over the
estate of the late Mrs. Mary F. Hen
derson, for many years leader of
Washington's inner social circle, was
formally ended in District Supreme
Court yesterday.
Justice Joseph w. Cox signed a
final decree approving a settlement
agreed upon more than a year ago
when an attack upon Mrs. Hender-
sons will was settled out Of court.

81, 100000 between the National Met
ropolitan Bank, executor of the es-
tate of John B. Henderson, jr., and
George E. Edelin,, executor Of Mrs.
Hendersons estate No estimate was
given of the values of the respective
settlements.
The decree directed the payment Of
Sal, ,89790 to Mrs. Beatrice Wholean,
who was described by Mrs. Henderson
as an adopted granddaughter. This
item apparently represented an in
terest claim and there was no dis
closure as to the full amount received
by her.

the emergency workers, he said, the
condition of the Washington parks
would not be what it is, due to the cut
in the number of permanent employees.
When the Washington plan is COM
pleted, Mr.. Weir said, the District will
have $500 and 5000 acres devoted to
recreation, about twice what it has
now.
Mr.. Weir emphasized the lack of
a unified plan here and the conflict
of authority and said the ideal set-up
would be trained executive to con-
duct the recreational system, guided
by strong body of interested citizens.
He advocated the calling of a meet
ing of interested groups to map plan
of action.
Referring to the Playground De-
partment of the District, Mr.. Weir
declared: Apparently the District
government has not taken forward
looking. dynamic, constructive atti-
tude toward the department, other
wise many of the difficulties under
which it has labored would have been
ironed out long ago."
