AbATT0|R PROJECT
ST|RS OPPOSITION
Fine Arts Head Expresses
Objection to Proposed
Alexandria Plant.

Strong opposition to the proposed
establishment of an abbatoir near the
Mount Vernon Memorial Highway in
Alexandria, Va, was expressed yester-
day afternoon by H. P. Caemmerer,
chairman of the Commission of Fine
Arts.
Thomas S. Settle of the National
Capital Park and Planning Commits
sion said a resolution was passed at
the commissions last meeting favor
ing the industrial and commercial
development of Alexandria, but oppos-
ing the establishment of the abbatoir
near the Memorial Highway.
Mrs. Charles B. Moore, 207 Prince
street, Alexandria, announces that
petitions were being circulated in the
Virginia town for presentation to the
city council Tuesday night when the
subject of the abbatoir is scheduled
to be taken up for action. Mrs Moore
said the council had given tentative
agreement to the plan at its last
meeting.
Naval Officer Signs Petition.
Among the signers on the petitions
is Admiral Percival Rossiter, surgeon
general of the Navy.
According to information furnished
The Star last night by indignant resi-
dents of Alexandria, led by Mrs.
Moore, a company plans to construct
a store house and abbatoir on 40
acre tract of land facing on the river
and bounded by Pitts, Pendleton and
Madison streets, which would bring it
within two blocks of the Memorial
Highway. Mrs Moore said
Mrs Moore said she had talked to
an official of the company and that
he had told her that the company
plans to clear about l45 tons of meat
a day from the plant, which would
involve the slaughter of about 200
cattle, 1900 sheep and 1000 hogs.
She said she had been told that the
company plans to dump the refuse
into the Potomac River after it has
been treated with chemicals.
When told that the question Of an
abbatoir in Alexandria had again
come up, Mr.. Caemmerer said:
Held an Outrage.
'It is an outrage and a disgrace.
The Fine Arts Commission will oppose
such a venture in every way we pos
sibly can. 1t would be shame to
have such an unsightly, offensive
plant right on the main road to the
home of George Washington"
Mr.. Caemmerer called attention to
the fight which was brought about
during the construction of the Memo
rial Bridge when the Congress threat
ened to stop construction unless the
threat of an abbatoir was withdrawn.
He said conditions had not changed
He said the whole water front along
the highway is being handicapped and
beautified and that the establishment
Of the proposed abbatoir would defeat
the whole Identification program.

change building planned for
Teheran. the capital city A
prize of S3,75O will be awarded

the average to run slightly in excess

LIGHT PAINTS REFLECT

Sunshine Mirrored in Places
Where Cheer Is Needed.
1t is good practice to apply a
white or very light t-colored finish in
painting light shafts, inside courts,
ventilated skylights and other walls
which inclose areas within or be-
tween buildings and which contain
openings intended to admit sunlight
or daylight. This will make posi-
Bile a maximum of light reflection
to the interior. A dark red light
shaft. for example, will only reflect
about Is to 20 per cent of the light
that enters it, while reflection
value as high as 80 per cent may be
obtained in shaft painted with a
white or light -colored paint.

member to figure the annual cost of

Job that costs 5000 and lasts four years,
means an average cost of $50 annually
Should the paint last only half that
time, the annual charge would be SlOO.
The better the paint, the longer the
intervals between painting, and. of
course, the lower the annual cost.

SPEND MORE FOR
STATE ROAD UPKEEP
u. s. OFFICIAL URGES

Minnesota should increase its
maintenance expenditures on the
original trunk highway system by
more than $1,OOO,00O year, Thorn
as Macdonald, chief of the U. s.
Bureau of Public Roads, had ad-
vised N. w. Elsberg, state highway
commissioner.
A letter from Mr.. Macdonald to
Mr.. Elsberg states that $500 a
mile should be allowed for main
tenance on the 800 mile federal
aid system, compared with $495 a
mile spent in 1884.
The highway department budget
for 1885 has been revised in &C
cordance with Mr.. MacDonald's re-
quest, approximately $4,000,OO be
ing set up for maintenance of the
old trunk routes, Mr.. Elsberg said.
However he expressed the belief
that the roads can be kept in salts
factory condition for less than the
amount recommended by the fed
eral bureau.
Mr.. Macdonald expressed the
opinion that for best maintenance
results, Minnesota should spend
81, 900 900 on it's whole 1000 mile
trunk system in 1885. This compares
with about 100000 spent in 1884.

of some provisions of the act had

general says that even if some Sec
tions were held invalid by the
courts, this would not affect other
portions of the law.
Reports of a possible repeal OF
the act have caused some county
boards to hesitate to act under the
law, but no bill to repeal it has
been introduced. A majority of the
counties are going ahead and pay

Beef Stocks Big But
Would Last Days Only
U. 8. Port Stocks 8 Percent Below
Year Ago; IL Percent Below
5-Year Average

Stocks of frozen and cured beef
held in storage houses of the Unit
ed States are sufficient to keep the
people of this country on their
average beef diet for six days only.
If no other beef was slaughtered
and put into storage during that
time the storage rails would be
bare, states the weekly market bul-
etin issued by the Central Cooper
alive Association of South st. Paul.
A great deal Of comment has
been made about the heavy storage
stocks Of beef held in the ware
houses Of the United Sta:es when
the beef cattle market outlook is
discussed. In spite of the storage
report, which looks large, the DOM
este supply of beef Is not burden
some. The chief factors having a
bearish influence on the market
are Lent, during which period
meat consumption is curtailedD and
the increasing imports of beef from
other competing food products from
foreign countries.
On March 1 this year, beef
stocks in storage amounted to ILL.,
100000 pounds. This was 70 percent
more than a year ago and 80 per-
cent more than the five year aver
age. Yet, at the average per capita
annual consumption of 54.1 pounds
of beef this amount would last
less than one week.
Cured and frozen stocks of pork
in the United States total 671, 315,-
900. Based on the average per cap
ita consumption of 70 pounds Of
pork annually, it would take ap-
proximately % days to consume
this amount. Pork stocks are 8 per
cent below a year ago and II per
cent below the five year average.
