members of q scientific expedition
sailing from here Tuesday.
The party, headed by DR.. Francis

each on Rowland, Baker and Jarvis
Islands. The United States Depart
ment of Commerce already has four
Hawaiians On each Of these islands

Americas possession and occupation
of the islands," DR.. Conan said.
The 40-year-od psychiatrist said a
Study would be made Of natural life,

DR.. Conan disclaimed any eonnec-
ton with Pan-American Airlines,
which Is preparing to start a trans
Pacific air service IN the near future,
and with other airlines, but said in
formation collected by his expedition
would be made available to CONNER

dollars of its own road appropriations
may be so spent, and some OF it is
obligated" This is one difficulty
faced by the District that the States
do not have to meet.
Compromise Necessary.
The decision of District engineers.
therefore, was a half way alternative
under which half the Federal grant
would be used for low type work and
half for high type work.
Under this program, to be submit
ted to officials of the United States
Bureau of Public Roads for approval,
the District will have to employ 100
men from the relief lists out of Dis
trict appropriations and the District
will have to provide $l1s,672 for this
purpose. Capt. Whitehurst explains
that this money would have been
spent in similar operations anyway
had the District program not been
tied in with the Federal road program.
In addition to providing this sup
plement to the Federal funds, the Dis
trict will have to draw on its re-
sources for $23.734 additional to pro-
vide materials for the proposed
program.
When asked what would constitute
'low type" of road work which will
use up half of the proposed road pro-
gram, District oficials said the projects
would be Of wide variety. The range
would be from spreading Of cinders
on unpaved minor roads TO laying OF
shoulders, curbs and cutters to old
macadam roads and possibly the
laying of the cheaper kinds Of light
paving. Other work in between these
classes would be grading. breaking up
of old pavenlents which are replaced
in other road programs; spreading
this material on other road projects.
All Work Ii Valuable.
Even some of the lower cost kind
of this low type work would have
permanent value, and all the work
would be valuable, ofncials declared.
They made no qualification as to this
statement.
The limitation as to the grade
crossing work is that 40 per cent OF
the Federal grant must be spent di-
rectly for labor employed on the
projects. This does not allow con-
sideration of men employed in manu-
facture of materials used In the work.
If the Quarles street and Bates
road grade crossings both are elm
mated by construction Of the Eastern
avenue underpass and the Varnum
street overpass, the District will have
to use $153,668 Of its own money for
the employment Of 205 men from the
relief lists and purchase OF necessary
materials in these programs. OF this
total, $128,058 would 60 for labor and
SIS, $40 for materials.
This sets up expectation Of Q total
draft on District funds for carrying
out the Federal program amounting
to $29S,074. OF this sum $24e, ,7so
would 90 for employment OF labor and
$49, ,344 for materials IN the road and
grade crossing work.
In other words, onlcials say, they
would spend approximately $500, 900
Of the Districts own money In con-
nection with the Federal program,
instead Of their own, 20 as TO gain
the use of the Federal grants totaling
$1,35s,so4.

KENSINGTOH, Nd, July 2O.-The
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad will be
asked to maintain a watchman on
duty at the Kensington grade crossing
at all times as result Of action taken
last night by the Advisory Committee
of the Kensington Chamber Of Com
merce.
The committee believes the Ken
Sington crossing to be as dangerous as
the Rockville crossing, which has
been guarded with 24-hour service
since the school bus-train crash there
several months ago" Lewis T. Beyn-
ton, secretary of the chamber, de
clared today in announcing the COM
mittee's action. At present the cross
ing is guarded only from 6 am. to
6 pm, he said.
A special committee was also ap-
pointed to make survey looking
toward routing of the proposed
Gettysburg Memorial Highway by way
of KenSington to connect with Beach
drive in Rock Greek Park
Other matters approved by the
committee included the urging Of &C
ton on the State Roads Commission
in rerouting or widening and straight
ening the Kensington- Forest Glen
road. working out of a plan for bus
transportation for school children
from Kensington and Capitol View to
the Bethesda High School and adop-
ton Of a regulation allowing children
OF Is or under to use tennis courts Of
the Kensington playground free Of

The Advisory Committee will meet
Wednesday night with representatives
of the Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commission. the
Washington Suburban Sanitary Com
mission and the Board of Montgomery
County Commissioners to consider
other important proposals, including
elimination Of the Kensington grade
crossing, extension of trunk line
sewers to Garrett Park and the elimi-

for completing the Michigan avenue
crossing out of this Federal grant.
The District now has an appropria-
ton of $780, 900 out of its own rev.
enues for acquisition of land and for
starting of construction of the Michi-
gan avenue viaduct. This project has
been authorized by Congress. Com
pletion of the project would be
hastened if it can be included in the
Federal road program but this would
not be possible If there Is delay in
getting the land and starting the
project.
Should the President allot another
$200.0 900 nationally for grade
crossing work. the District would be
eligible for further grant and could
speed completion OF all three.
AS to the roads program under the
$949,000 grant, the District faced a
choice of several expedientS In meet
ing the newly promulgated rules.
Several days were spent in figuring
out the best selection.
MUST Employ 61S Tor Year.
Since a man must be taken OF
relief and put to work for an entire
year for each $1,4O0 used out of the
Federal grant-this figures also in
Guiding the cost of materials-this
makes it mandatory on the District
to employ a total of 67S men for a
whole year, or q greater number Of
men If the program Is completed in
less than a year.
Next comes the engineering and
labor cost problems which had to be
hurdled A normal street improve
ment program in the District. that
is, permanent road improvements,
cost between s2,10O to $1,000 per year
per man, as against the 81 400 nmita-
tion fixed by the Government.
The District might have spent the
$949,000 under this limitation of costs
per man, but the program would have
consisted exclusively of low-cost type
of work, with hand-grading projects
and some roadside work. The con-
science OF District engineers would not
allow them to recommend that. Capt.
H. C. whitehurst, District director of
highways, opposed such program.
Others said Il would have left the
door open to b charge similar to the
complaints that under the old civil
works program too many men on re-
lief were set to work "raking leaves"
Again the District might have sub
mitted to Federal officials q program
consisting entirely Of high type
permanent pavement projects. But
such q program would have placed too
great an obligation on the District

allotment The District does not have

INCREASE IN TAX
RATES PREDICTED
Prince Georges Proposals
Include Pension and
School Bonds.
Ry a star correspondent of The Star.

BY Staf Correspondent of The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, Md, July 20.
Negotiations preliminary to the
establishment of an old-age pension
system and sale Of school BOND
issue, caused members of the Board
of County Commissioners today to
predict an increase In the Prince
Georges tax rate next year.
In addition to the pension ana
school bond items. the commissioners
anticipate organized clamor for reSto-
ration of the remaining pay cuts. and
believe they will have to make prov1-
sion in next years levy for road ex-
penditures, presidential election, and
the enlarged police force.
Likely Under $1.50.
While none would say how much
the increase would be, 1t was predicted
that nothing like" the SO per cent tax
rate boost required this year to meet
debt service in Montgomery County
would be necessary. The commission
ers also said they believed the Prince
Georges rate, now 81 per 500, would
remain considerably under" the $1.oO
rate now in force in Montgomery
County and Washington City.
AS far as can be learned there is
no prospect of substantially curtailing
any item in the present Prince Georges
budget. Factors which will tend to
keep the tax rate down, however, in
clude considerable building, which will
add to the assessable basis, better tax
collections and surplus fund, accord
ing to Perry Boswell, president OF the
county board.
While the old-age pension set-up Is
still uncertain, it is expected levy OF
several cents" will be required to
match Federal and State funds, which
will carry two-thirds of the pension
costs. A levy of about cent will be
needed to pay the debt service on the
S165, 900 bond issue, which the school
board expects to sell in the Fall.
State Funds Lack"
The commissioners in the suburban
area believe insufficient funds are be-
ing received ITO1u CI16 0CdGe 10 0u4O
enough roads to keep pace with the
growth o fthe county. Unless the
county's allotment is increased, they
say, it will be necessary to make a
direct levy for roads.
If this Is done it will be the first
time county residents have paid q
direct road tax since maintenance OF
the highways was placed in the hands
of the State Roads Commission, and
financed by the State gasoline tax in
1882.
One commissioner asserted levy of
at least cents for roads appears GER
tain for the coming year.
Several thousand dollars will have
to be added to the levy to care for
election expenses. The county board
also expects that the cost of running
the county police force, increased from
ii to Is men this year, also will be
reflected In larger levy appropriation
next year.
