Sewage Disposal Plant
Moves Forward a Notch,

INTRODUCTION in the House
of a bill to authorize the con-
struction of an S8,O0O,00O sew
age disposal plant is encouraging
to the many civic bodies which
have been urging this much needed
Improvement. Relief of the dis
gusting pollution of the Potomac
and Anacostia Rivers is required as
a health measure as well as to
restore fish life and give these
rivers back the recreational value
OF which they have long been
robbed.
The organizations regard this
as an important project to serve
other generations, and therefore to
be financed over a period of years
instead of any attempt to saddle
the cost entirely on the Districts
present revenues. Many believe
this should really be 100 per cent
United States project. Surely
while Uncle Sam is preaching the
doctrine of stopping the pollution
OF our streams it would be the most
logical thing in the world for him
to put in model system here at
his Capital at his own expense.

$50 much for the elementary
schools. Let us consider the junior
high problem. The Eliot Junior High
School, Seventeenth and B streets
northeast, while of recent build, is
already taxed beyond its capacity.
The present building was intended to
accommodate $50 scholars, but the
present enrolment is around $50
and pupils are compelled to sit so
close they inhale one another's
breath. The Board Of Education in
dorsed the request for an additional
wing, but the Budget Bureau elimi-
mated 1t. The Stuart Junior High
School, at Fifth and E streets north
east, had its boundary moved from
Twelfth to Thirteenth street to re-
duce the pressure on Eliot, and now
must extend it to Fourteenth street
for similar reasons, subjecting neigh
borhood pupils not only to the longer
travel but the added danger from
traffic. AS the plans are already
drawn, and the needs so urgent, we
believe the Board Of Education will
agree with us that construction Of
the additional wings should begin at
the earliest possible moment"
The association already has ex-
pressed itself as favoring an addi-
ton to the overcrowded Eastern High
School.

Seed pieces from the tip or seed
end Of potato tubers produce much
more vigorous plants and greater
yield than pieces taken from the
basal or stem end of the same tuber.
says F. C. Stewart, potato specialist

spuds strongly support this conten-
tlon. The experiments also show. he

GASOLINE

For the greater part of twenty
years gasoline has been relatively
the lowest priced of all the articles
generally classed as necessities. ac-
cording TO A. w. Francis, local rem
resentative of Standard Oil ComDany
OF New Jersey. who pointed out that
the average price of gasoline would
be more than 26 cents per gallon
today if the industry had maintained
service station prices at the 1926
level. Actually, however, the aver
age price taken from so representa-
tive cities on October !, was 2l
cents, including tax.
"The motorist may not stop to
realize it, but he is getting his gaso-
line at a much lower price than he
pays relatively for any other neces-
sary commodity. Mr.. Francis ex-
planned. The figures of the United
States Department of Labor prove
this. Using 1926 prices as a stand
ard and giving them an arbitrary in
deX number of 100, we find that
gasoline prices, exclusive of taxes,
were below 40 in August this year.
That means that for 40 cents the
motorist could obtain as much gaso-
line as be could for 81 in 1926. ex-
elusive Of taxes. On the other hand,
farm products were Just below GO
and the average price of all COM
inodities was at 40.
I'm the slow climb of prices out
Of the rut toward 1926 levels, gaso-
line starts from n lower base than
any other necessity. Yet its recovery
thus far has not been at a faster
rate than that Of other commodities.
I'm the face of these facts il may
still seem to the motOrlst that the
price lie pays for gasoline Is not
much lower than Il was several
years ago. However, that is due 10
the increase of gasoline taxes which
have gone up as the price of gaso-
line has gone down. This is o factor
beyond the control of the petroleum
but one which gives many
an. erroneous impression
of the price of gasoline"
b. Mr.. Francis pointed out that in |
creasing taxation had escaped the |
notice of the motoring public be-
cause the increase was over-balanc-
ed by the lowering OF the refiner's |
price. The latter was brought about
both by savings in gasoline manu-
'acture and the general decline, ac-
cording to Mr.. Francis. The extent
of this lowering is shown by COM
1arison OF the average price of 200
,ents in 1926, exclusive of tax, with
he present average of 14.4 cents,
exclusive of tax.
But despite this decline" Mr..
francis continued, "the increase in
axes has been such that a rise Of
ew cents. in keeping with increas-
d costs and the general trend, ap-
lears to bring gasoline back to the
926 level, whereas the amount
gbich the refined receives still is
hf below the 1926 level.
"It is our hope that the public
lill bear in mind that taxes alone
nay be held responsible for gaso-
Inc prices hitting The 1926 level"
