P. W. A. Money Made Avail
able for Initial Work at
Glenn Dale.
WATER SUPPLY CLAUSE
IN DEAL EMPHASIZED
Ickes Demands Assurance That
Source Will Be Adequate to
Requirements.

Commissioner Hazen today was
given a check for 100000 from the
Public Works Administration to begin
work on the Districts adult tuber-
culosis hospital at Glenn Dale.
Secretary Ickes sent the check by
A. H. Martin, acting executive officer
of p. w. A., as the first advance on
the 81 100000 allotment authorized for
the hospital, which must be completed
under the contract by September J.,
1887.
With the check, Ickes sent a letter
to the Commissioners, calling their
attention to a provision Of the con-
tract stating that the P. w. A. must
be- given assurances Of satisfactory
and adequate supply of water at Glenn
Dale.
When they first made application
for funds, the Commissioners had re-
quested the $l,500,00 in lump sum.
They withdrew this request later, it
was said today, and the 100000 ad-
vance will meet initial requirements.
From this sum, the expenses OF drill
ing deep well will be paid.
May Tap City Mains.
Unless the water supply is adequate
it will be necessary to tap the subur-
ban or city mains at cost estimated
from 100000 to Sl50,000. All ex-
penses connected with providing an
adequate water supply at the hospital
site must be deducted, under the terms
of the contract, from the total cost
of the whole project.
The Commissioners are ready to
proceed at once on this preliminary
work, 1t was understood.
The receipt of the check today
eliminates efforts of more than two
years to build a modern adult hos
pital to combat the rising death rate
in the District from tuberculosis.
The site at Glenn Dale, before it
was finally chosen, was a center of
controversy during the Summer. With
Secretary Ickes holding out for a
mountainous site, President Roosevelt
appointed a committee of physicians
to visit available sites around Wash
ington.
Glenn Dale, favored by the Com
missioners, was the location for the
hospital agreed upon unanimously by
the Presidents committee.
p. w. A. Keeps Control.
In preparing the agreement for the
P. w. A. loan and grant, however,
Secretary Ickes insisted on retaining
control over the construction of the
hospital. Because Of reports that the
two wells previously sunk at Glenn
Dale for the children's sanatorium
were insufficient to meet all require
ments, Ickes wrote into the contract
a provision that he must be satisfied
as to the adequacy of the water sup
ply for the adult hospital
Under the terms of the contract,
the builting must be completed by
July /, 1887, and ready for occupancy
on September l of that year.
Except In the case Of the water
supply, P. w. A. officials said, Ickes
would not demand that the entire
project be completed on the date
stipulated.

BROWN CONFERS
ON POLICE TESTS
Seeks to Determine if Ad'
vance Information of Ex-
animation Leaked Out.
BULLETIN.

Assistant United States Attor-
ney George Mcneil today was
called into the investigation of re-
ports that advance information
leaked out on the questions asked
in the recent civil service exami-
nation for promotions in the Po-
lice Department. He was sum-
moned by the civil service COM
missioners after Police Supt. Ern-
est w. Brown and Assistant Supt.
L. I. Edwards had asked that an
inquiry be made.
Police Supt. Ernest w. Brown con-
ferred today with Civil Service Com
mission officials in an effort to de-
termine whether advance informa-
tion leaked out on the questions in
cluded in the recent examination for
promotions in the Police Department
Before he went to the Commission
Maj. Brown said he doubted reports
that photostatic copies of the ex-
animation papers had been circulated
He said that in all his experience in
the Police Department he had never
heard of leak" from the COM
mission.
Officers Issue Denial.
The police chief called upon two
officers who passed with exceptionally
high marks. Sergts. Walter H. Thomas
and Lawrence r. Beall, and asked
them If they had any advance in
formation as to the questions. He
said both denied they had.
Rumors of leak in the examina-
tion questions came after an an
nouncement from the Civil Service
Commission that four of the six high
est marks had been made by officers
now on duty in the police head
quarters building. In addition to
Sergts. Thomas and Beall, the others
are Lieuts. H. G. Callahan and A.
z. Miller.
"If any officers either sold or paid
for advance copies of the examination
they will be brought before the Trial
Board Immediately" Maj. Brown said.
Eight Protests Received.
Only eight protests thus far have
been received from the more than 400
policemen who took the examinations
last November 10. Their complaints
chiefly the revision in the
ratings for experience and fitness.
Prior to the November examination
this rating had been based on a pos
sible maximum Of 100 per cent, but
this year the Board of Inspectors who
pass on the efficiency ratings decided
no ofiicer could be 100 per cent eff
cient and cut the maximum to 88.
No date has yet been set for the
hearings for the eight protestants.
Each oficer is expected to be given a
separate hearing, at which he will be
given an opportunity to show why his
rating should be increased.

paratory to erecting q new home,

fence surrounding it had been taken
down.
The marker was found missing yes

their semi-annual job of repairing
and cleaning the markers and their
surrounding fences. When they came
