BANS COST RAISE
ONL|bRARY ANNEX
McCarl Rules Contractor
Cannot Add Increased Pay
on U. S. Bill.

With Controller General McCarl
holding that the Government cannot
assume any additional cost for con-
struction work at the Library of Con-
greSs, where striking carpenters are
seeking a wage increase of 1912 cents
an hour, David Lynn, architect of the
Capitol, in charge of the building,
said today he is uncertain what the
next step will be.
Lynn added he expected the con-
tractor would confer with him on the
matter early next week.
The trouble centers around the new
annex, costing $6,269, 400, for which
the Consolidated Engineering Co. has
the contract. In making its bid, the
Consolidated figured the carpenter
wage at S1.25 an hour, the scale then
effective, but on May II the Master
Builders Association and the Carpen-
ters' District Council entered a new
agreement-retroact to May /
under which the pay was advanced to
$1.371a an hour.
Consolidated stood on the lower wage
for the Library contract, and when the
walkout resulted August 80, notified
Lynn that the Government would be
called on to absorb the higher cost
If the strike prevailed. He, in turn,
asked McCarl what the status would
be, and was notified by the controller
general yesterday afternoon that Con-
solidated had assumed wage risks for
the 12-month period dating from the
award.
The contract, therefore, could not
be altered to the disadvantage of the
Government, the controller general
said.

the north side of that imposing Rock
Creek Valley span.
Commissioner Hazen then climbed
into his official car, which bears D. c.

spick-and-span paving a long process
sion of automobiles intent on joining
in the informal dedication of the
structure. With Hazen in the leading
car were Capt H. c. Whitehurst, di-
rector Of highways, and c. r. Whyte,
engineer of bridges.
Old Bridge Closed.
Coincident with the opening of the
new arched stone bridge to vehicular
and pedestrian traffic at $50 am,

both ends of the Anticipated iron
bridge which was moved a short
distance south of its original site to
make way for the new project.

prey of crew of wreckers next week,

first pedestrian to cross the new
bridge Police let Dominick pass the
barrier at am, when he explained

escorted by Miss Marjorie ONeal Of
the same address and a dog, BLACK
Satan"
Dismantling TO Start.
The south drive Of the bridge will
be opened by Thanksgiving day, Capt.
Whitehurst said For the present,
that portion Of the structure will be
occupied by workmen engaged in dis
mantllng the old bridge. Two huge
derricks mounted on rails will literally
pull the rusty old bridge apart.
The wrecking of the abandoned
structure will be supervised by the
same engineers and contractors who
performed the extraordinary bridge
moving operation some months ago.
At that time the heavy iron mass was
lacked up, put on ROLLER skates" and
pulled by mule power to temporary
new foundations south of the original
site.
A small gathering of residents OF
the community was on hand to Wit
ness the very informal opening cere-
mony. There was no ribbon cutting
nor band playing nor speechmaking.
Commissioner Hazen indicated there
might be a formal dedication some
time later.

CREDIT ILLEGAL
FOR HOTEL LIQUOR
Patrons of Dining Rooms
Must Be "Registered
Guests" in D. c.

Patrons of hotel dining rooms may
not have credit for any alcoholic
drinks bought there unless they are
in fact residents of the hotel, legal
counsel of the District government
will hold in an opinion to be laid
before the Commissioners Monday,
it was indicated clearly today.
This ruling would support the posi-
ton taken by members of the AL
coholic Beverage Control Board in de-
Gliding that persons who merely take
meals at hotels and who have not
registered for rooms may not buy
liquor on credit under terms of the
District liquor act.
Point Contested.
Organized hotel interests have con-
tested the point and filed brief
with Corporation Counsel Prettyman
in the hope of upsetting the rule.
Lawyers of the District government
are said to have taken the position
that a registered guest" at a hotel
means that the party has signed the
hotel register and reserved residence
quarters and that, therefore. din
ing room customer is not registered
guest.
The law forbids retailers to sell
liquor on credit. except to bona f1de
residents of hotels.
Declared Generally Practiced.
The issue arose few days ago when
the board learned it was more or less
the universal practice of hotels to
permit dining room guests as we'll as
hotel room occupants to sign their
checks for liquor orders as well as
food.
The A. B. C. Board has announced
it will vigorously enforce the rule if
the Commissioners, on advice Of the
corporation counsel, uphold their
stand

1900 BEDS HELD VITAL
TO HOSPITALS UTILITY
Glenn Dale Plans Should Be
Passed On by Experts if
Reduced, Is Claim.

Mrs. Ernest Grant, executive secre-
tary of the District tuberculosis As
ISOLATION, emphasized today that plans
for the tuberculosis hospital at Glenn
Dale, Md, should not be cut to reduce
its capacity below 1900 beds, as
threatened.
With the Commissioners faced with
inability to build the structure under
original plans because none Of the
recent bids was within the $1e8, 900
allotment set by the P. w. A., Mrs.
Grant suggested that any changes in
the plans should be passed on by a
committee of at least three compe-
tent tuberculosis experts.
More than 900 persons died Of tu-
berculosis here last year, she ex-
planned today. The bed capacity Of q
tuberculosis hospital for a city Is sl-
ways estimated, she said, by doubling
the deaths from this cause.
