WORK IS DELAYED

Special Dispatch to The Star.
LURAY, Va, February 25.-Con-
struction Of the southern extension Of
the Skyline drive in the Shenandoah
National Park will be delayed indef-
initely as the result Of the necessity Of
readvertising for bids for the first
7-mile stretch. Bids were opened for
this stretch, which extends from the
original drive to Simmons Gap in the
direction Of Waynesboro, on February
Z. There were eight bidders, the lowest
being Keeley Construction Co. Of West
Virginia, its bid being something over
$500,000.
According to information received
on good authority, the Government
considers the bid too high. It was said
here that not only is 1t higher than
for any other 10-mile stretch. but that
1t is higher than the Government en-
gineer's estimate.
Engineers at work on other projects,
who refused to be quoted, say, how
ever, that the cuts will of necessity be
much deeper and the yardage in earth
removal about twice as much as on
other stretches. However that may
be, construction of the first Z miles
will be delayed and all stretches may
be advertised simultaneously, plans
having been ready for some time.
About IS miles, or one-third of the
entire drive, remains to be con-
structed. Work is progressing rapidly
on the 30-mile northern extension to
Front Royal. The original drive was
about 80 miles.

sion in the case against Mrs. Dorothy
H. Dorsey, concert manager. charged
with violating the District child labor
law by presenting Ruth SlencZynski,
10-year-old pianist, in concert here.

been agreed by counsel, in order to
test the District law. In fact. the last
postponement' of the decision was
made at the request of the lawyers so
that proper papers for the appeal
could be completed.
Mrs. Dorsey, represented by Attor-
ney Robert E. Lynch. pleaded not
guilty and contended that since she
made no profit on the concert, she
had not violated the law.
Thomas Gillespie Walsh, assistant
corporation counsel, in prosecuting
the case contended the child pianist
is being exploited in violation Of the
law and cited that her earnings sup
port the members Of her family.
When the case was heard Judge
Bentley took it under advisement for

NOTICES
IN LEV|ES URGED
Court Suggests City Heads
"IndividuaIize" Assess
ment Methods.

Property owners should be notified
| personally when 1t is proposed to I'M
| prove or pave streets or alleys for
| which they must bear the cost, even
| though such procedure is not required
under the law, the Court Of Appeals
| of the District told the District Com
missioners today.
| This admonition came in decision
upholding an assessment for S480 for
alley paving, protested by Mrs. Marie
c. Carusi, widow of Charles F. Carusi,
former president of the Board of Edu-
| cation. Through Attorney Godfrey L..
| Munter. Mrs CaruSi had argued that
| the notice of the assessment was in
sufficient to give an opportunity to
contest it. and that the levy itself was
| discriminatory.
The majority opinion said that the
notice, which it described as maze"
of verbige, complied with the law, and
denied the plea of discrimination. In
sharply worded dissent Justice Hitz
attacked the sufficiency of the notice,
which he called puzzle"
Issues Word of Caution.
In the opinion of the court, written
| by Justice Van Orsdel, it was pointed
out that in levying assessments. the
District government relies on notice
published twice a week for two weeks
| to inform those affected. In the cur
rent instance. it was amplifled, the as
sessment to which the Carusi property
| would be subject was made known IN
one sentence in column and a half
notice.
However, sustaining this as within
the law, the opinion said: I'VE feel
justified in issuing a word of caution
| to the Commissioners in issuing
i notices of this kind in the future. The
notices should be so printed and the
| properties so individualized as to
readily attract the attention Of the
owners. Better still, though not re-
quired by the statute, in addition to
! the statutory notice, would be the
service of personal notice upon own
ers of property along which it is
proposed to improve or pave streets
or alleys"
Justice Hitz Dissents.
| ~ tlilS OuoIlCc I1lII doOCo
Il am unable to agree with the
conclusion of the court in respect
to the suficiency of the published
notice. which was a mere travesty Of
notice, theoretically complying with
the letter of the statute while wholly
diregarding its spirit.
THE property in question had stood
on the tax records in the same name
and ownership for many years, and
by a slight actual effort actual notice
could have been brought home to the
owner If the Commissioners dis
regard their obvious opportunities to
give actual notice and rely wholly
/ on the statute. they should be held
to reasonable and effective COM
pliance Herewith, and not to a merely
colorado and technical compliance by
the publication of a puzzle
