SOUTHWEST HITS
PROPOSED CHANGE
Citizens Want Education
Board and Library Trus-
tees Free to Act.

Opposition to any change in the
law which would broaden the powers
of the District Commissioners was
voiced by the Southwest Citizens
Association last night at the fourth
precinct. ...
In their resolution, the citizens
stated that they were opposed to any
law which would serve to prevent the
Board of Education and the trustees
of the Public Library from exercising
their duties as citizen boards in the
selection of personnel and the direc-
ton of public school and library
policies in this city.
John Ihlder, executive officer OF the
Alley Dwelling Authority, gave
summary talk on alleys and stated
that "slum" clearance had been begun
as far back as 1870, when refugees
from the South settled here in what
are now termed alley dwellings. He
explained that the Alley Authority Is
one of several commissions for deVel-
Cpment in the District and one can
not act without the others agreeing.
Problems to be Met.
Ihlder said that among problems
facing the Alley Authority were:
purchase of property at the assess
ment value. and the finding OF another
use for the space which would in
crease the value of the land. In
addressing the association he urged
the members to offer suggestions for
improvements of alley dwellings in
their territory, but added that only
suggestions which would convert the
dwellings into what the neighborhood
really needs. would be considered.
To facilitate parking for merchants
in the southwest district Ihlder sug-
gested a plan to change the alley
dwelling sites into parking lots.
The association opposed bill now
before the House of Representatives
TO amend the public utility act Of the
District. The bill would, in general,
substitute for the present statutory
appeal (Which gives to the courts
legislative and administrative author
ity a strictly judicial appeal, which
would preserve to the appellent all
OF its legal rights.
Bus Problem Discussed.
William A. Roberts, peoples coun-
sci. guest speaker. admitted over
crowding of the buses on Fourth
street southwest. but added, the
Public Utilities Commission is now
working on a plan to eliminate this.
Roberts said, Il have no power except
public opinion, and when I get that,
that's all that is necessary" He
urged the citizens to cooperate with
him to the fullest extent in obtaining
their needs. He went so far as to
suggest that member >of the asso-
citation take a count of the over
crowded busses running on Fourth
street and to submit in writing the
result, so that he might present it to
the Public Utilities Commission for
consideration.
A proposed site for a Southwest
Community Boys Club atop the fish
market at Twelfth and Water streets
southwest was approved by the asso-
citation, and needed repairs will be
furnished by the association after
final approval of Maj. Brown of the
Police Department.
Mrs E. j. Fines was accepted as a
member.

Presidents TOWN
May Manufacture
Buffing Wheels
Hyde Park Seeks to
Create Industry to Ab.
sOrb Unemployed.
BY the Associated Press.


HYDE PARK, N Y, August 10
President Roosevelt's home town is
considering the manufacture of buff
ing wheels, it was disclosed yesterday
by Paul Garrigue, handspring of the
Hyde Park Association. For six
months the town has been trying to
create an industry for its unemployed
Since the night last Winter that
townspeople sat down with Mrs.
Roosevelt in the coy town hall to
discuss local unemployment, three
projects have been considered and
laid aside. 1.-THE raising of fax was
suggested" Garrigue said, but we
found that this would take a bigger
investment than is available. We
looked into the possibilities in a can
ming factory. That would have to be
quite large, and besides, there are
cheaper places to grow vegetables than
Duchess County"
The third proposal, Garrigue said,
was for shoe factory.
THAT was mentioned but not really
seriously considered" he explained.
The buf1ng wheel In which the
town is interested uses an abrasive
ingratiated in the material rather
than an abrasive applied while the
wheel is in use, Garrigue said. Free
samples were made by New York
City concern, and these were sent out
to various industries. The patent Is
held by John stiner, . local resident.

THIRD PARTY SEEN
BY SENATOR NYE
Would Be Used as Pro-
gressive Agency, With
Eye to Future.
By the Associated Press.

Senator Nye, Independent Repub-
lican of North Dakota, predicted to-
day that there will be third party
In the 1886 presidential campaign.
In an interview, in which he also
said that it appears President Roose-
welt will be reelected If he does
not Swing strongly to the right"
Nye asserted that many liberals have
felt a third party should be created
now "to be used as a progressive
agency" with an eye to the future.
Nye spoke of what he believes is
likely to happen when Mr.. Roosevelt
leaves Office
Too Much Conservatism.
Without him." he said, 1T is likely
that the Democratic party would re-
assume It's former conservatism. And
should the Republican party remain
conservative there would be no place
for us to go.
And, If, because of recent troubles,
the Democratic party and Mr.. Roose-
welt should swing sharply to the right
for reasons of political expediency or
otherwise we would be up tree"
However, he added, there is another
side of the picture which gives pause
to the liberals.
"a third party would draw the ex-
IRENE liberals away from Mr.. Roose-
welt. So, If the Democrats were to
remain liberal and progressive a third
party would tend to hinder the execu-
ton of its own principles"
Would Support Roosevelt.
GAS for myself" he went on, "un-
less the Republicans nominate a
real liberal, I imagine I'll support
Roosevelt in 1896 provided he remains
liberal.
otherwise Ill support third party
candidate always with the proviso
that it isn't a demagogue. OF course,
you realize that the demagogues are
going to capitalize in every way they
can on the third party agitation.
That's another problem We have to
face.
However, it is certain that there
will be third party next year."
