Yesterday Maurice Van Kins-

MIA ABANDONS
NEW HOURS

Employees of the NRA today
found themselves working under
the old starting hour of 9 a. m.
with their quitting hour an indefi-
mite digit extending in some in
stances to late into the night.
Under the stagger-hour system
inaugurated yesterday to reduce
traffic congestion, NRA employees
were to begin work at 9:15 a. m.
and stop at 4:45 p. m.
Officials of the Government
unit, however, asked to retain the
the old schedule.
This change of heart was evil
denced shortly after the resigna-
ton of S. Clay Williams, chair
man of the National Industrial
Recovery Board.
Bradish Carroll, chief clerk Of
the Government agency, requested
that the old hours be retained
and ordered his employees not to
observe the new hours proposed
by District traffic officials.
Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer said the NRA shift will not
disrupt operation of the stagger-
hour system in the downtown
area.
Another change in the schedule
was the adoption of an 8 a. m. to
4:30 p. m. work day in the In
terror Department.

{ N D K T
Mine Bureau Chief Says Too
Costly to Keep Corps
Of Men on Guard

Rigid control of new furnace
equipment which goes into build
ings of all kinds in the city was
advanced today by o. P. Hood,
chief of the Bureau of Mines, as
the greatest hope for smoke
abatement" in Washington.
He told the House District
subcommittee considering smoke
abatement legislation for the Dis
trict that it would be virtually
impossible and far too expensive
to attempt to institute a rigid
control plan under which every
home and property would be
watched regularly. He added:
Keeping a close eye on the
new equipment would eventu-
ally bring about substantial re-
suits, even though it would
take some time"
He urged that additional funds
be made available for the enl
ployment of increased inspection
personnel, and that an engineer
exceedingly familiar with such
problems be employed to super
wise the work, if such a man could
be found.
Mr.. Hood criticized particularly
the smoke abatement proposal of
the commissioners, asserting that
the boiler inspection provision of
that measure is a "red herring"
His views were supported sub
stantially by those of Henry I.
Quinn, member of the Fedora
ton Of Citizens Associations, who
asserted that instead of writing
a new smoke abatement law, more
success would result merely by
amending the present statute.

APPL|CA IONS
FOR PERMITS
SHARPLY
March Figures on Surveys
at Highest Level Since
1925, Dent Says

A sharp increase in applica-
tons for building permits during
the last few weeks gives renewed
evidence today of a building
boom in the District.
Applications for survey work
pending in the District Surveyors
office are increasing in each sue
ceeding week.
Applications Squirt
Edward A. Dent, District Sur
veyor, reported there were more
applications in March than in any
corresponding period since 1925.
He stated:
Building activities here have
all the earmarkS of a boom.
Old-timerS in the building game
who haven't been in my office
for years are now filing applica-
tiOnS for survey work."
The commissioners today ap-
proved construction of sewers
and water mains to service IS
new buildings. The construction
will involve expenditure OF
100000.
Relief Labor Used
Sewers will be built with relief
labor, and water mains will be
constructed under contract.
During the last two weeks ap-
plications have been made for So
building permits and 81 permits
for repair work. During the first
two weeks of March there were
~ applications for building per-
mits and 81 applications for re-
pair permits.
New building operations have
been concentrated on construc-
, ton of four-family flats and
houses at a cost of $4,000 to
$4,000, it was reported.

PLAN
IS FOUGHT IN
ALEXANDRIA
Residents Say Packing Plant
Will Ruin Property; City
Heads Favor Project

ALEXANDRIA, Va, April 16.
Alexandria residents took up arms
today in bitter opposition to a pro-
ject for the establishment OF an
abattoir in the business district OF
the city.
Their action followed the dis
covery that members of city coun
Gil had been approached privately
by proponents Of the project and
had committed themselves unot-
ficially to support the plan. The
general public had no lnkllng OF
the proposal.
Mrs. Charles Beattie Moore,
whose Prince Street home is with
in seven blocks of the site of the
proposed plant, is leading a group
which, early today, began circu-
lation of a petition opposing the
granting of permit to the pack
ing plant to operate within the
city limits.
Officials of the firm expect to
employ more than 300 persons
They said they planned to en-
gage principally in packing south
ern fruits and vegetables, with ap
proximately SO boats year bring
ing in material from California
ports.
1t was admitted, however, that
killing and packing of meat
would be carried on to limited
extent" and it is this phase OF
the industry that has aroused the
opposition of Alexandrian's.
Mayor E. C. Dawson last night
said modern methods have elimi-
mated all disagreeable odors COM
mon to packing plants and the
location of the plant on the rail-
road property north of the ferti-
lizer plant will not altar the pres
ent use of that portion of the
waterfront.
Opponents Of the project
assert that the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
turned thumbs down on a pro-
posal to establish a similar plant
at Battery Cove. Fairfax county
likewise refused to allow the
plant to be established within the
confines of the county. This
action has strengthened the
hand of those now fighting the
project.
In recent years a large number
of new residents have purchased
and restored at considerable ex-
pense some of the historic
dwellings in the vicinity of the
proposed site for the packing
plant. Many of these residents
claim they will be compelled to
abandon their properties should
the permit for erection of the
plant be granted.

lection of the hay and rude stables for
the horses were built on the same plan
as the dwellings and thus was the
hunter methodically prepared for the
campaign. AS the winter came on and
the advance guard of the herds be-
gan to appear, a lookout was stationed
ear the camp and when the game was
sighted, the whole force set out to meet
them.
The hunter usually %endeavored to
secure a stand" which was done in
the following tanner Steathily ap-
preaching the unsuspecting band upon
the leeward side, until within shooting
distance, he concealed himself behind
some convenient rock or bush and there
picked them off with his long range
Shapes rifle at his ease. Little alarm
was usually occasioned by the report Of
the gun but at times some animal
in the herd would take fright, and it
was then the business of the merciless
s~harpshooter to bring him down, before
he could run and thus stampede the
herd.
The game down, the work of the
SINNERS began. This had to be done
quickly as the intense cold soon froze
the carcaSseS and thus rendered it i'm
possible to remove the hide. Hunters
sometimes went shooting near night
fall, cruelty wounding the poor ami
mails mOrtally, so that life might linger
until the next day when the animal
might be more easily skinned. This, to
their credit, be it said, was not a COM
mon practice. AS the hides were re-
moved, they were sailed and rolled
cOmpactly although some hunters
spread them out at full size and thus
allowed them to freeze upon the snow.
A wagon was then brought up and
the hides transported to camp. To
one who has never undertaken it, the
task of skinning an old bull is no easy
one. Upon the neck and shoulders,
the hide often attains a thickness of
nearly o r quite an inch and this filled
at the roots of the hair with sand from

wallows, rapidly took off the edge from
the finest steel.
Knife rasps, such as are used by the
keepers of the meat stalls in the mar
kets, were attached to every SINNERS
belt, while a small portable grindstone
was often carried into the field.
SINNERS received from SIS to 500
a month and their board, and very
faithfully earned their pay. Sometimes
an extra killing kept them out until
late at night and with the thermometer
at as below zero and a storm often rag
ing, one may easily imagine that the
life was not altogether like a summers
dream. Choice portions of the meat
were generally removed from the ear
cases, which were sailed or "jerked''
and sold in the settlements for 2 or 3
cents a pound.
At some camps, the hams were salt

Moose Finds Dillon
LaWns Good FORAGE

Drawing somewhat skeptical smiles,
residents of the eastern party Of Dillon
recently told Of seeing a large cow
moose wandering up and down the
streets at an early hour and browsing
on lawns. The story became authentic
when a majority of the citizens of that
section Of town verified the tale.
The moose is said to have made it's
way to the Luther Smith farm on the
outskirts Of the city, where it was
frightened by a dog and disappeared
in the direction OF the east bench.
Several years ago, a moose was seen
just south OF Dillon, but the big ami
