President Backs
PassamaQuOddy

With the eyes of congressional
probers turned toward Passama-
quoddy, President Roosevelt today
insisted that the Government
will not cancel its ten million dol
lar investment in the engineering
dream of Harvesting the tides for
power development.
This project is admittedly an
engineering toy which may either
turn into a financial fiasco, or rev.
olutionize the nations power pro-
duction methods.
Passamaquoddy Bay. on the
Maine-Canadian border, is fa-
nous for it's gigantic tides. For
years engineers have dreamed OF
making these tides work for man.

Rhode Island Avenue Citi-
zens Told Commissioners
Are Overwhelmed.

There is room for much improve
ment in .he District of Columbia gov
eminent, James G. Yaden, president
Of the Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations, told members of the Rhode
Island Avenue Citizens Association at
its meeting held in the Woodbridge
Langdon Library branch.
President Yaden said he did not
favor elimination of the Zoning Com
mission, Park and Planning Commits
sion and the Public Utilities Commits
sion and giving the District Com
missioners authority to carry on their
work. The Commissioners now have
more work than they can give their
personal attention, Yaden said, but he
believes the Commissioners should
have some additional power without
having to go to Congress for approval
of numerous small matters. He praised
the Commissioners for seeking an ap-
preparation to replace inadequate
furnaces in some schools.
Support for Bill Asked.
He urged the association to help
get the anti-gambling bill out of the
committee hearings so it may be
enacted, as most of the citizens assO-

In closing his address President
Yaden spoke briefly on the automobile
liability bill, the airport bill, the small
loan bill and on the proposal OF the
special committee of the Federation on
reorganization of the District govern
ment to have the citizens elect a
council.
Rev. H. H. Rowland, chairman Of
the Schools Committee. reported that
the goal of his committee Is the COM
pletion of the Taft Junior High School
with the construction OF two wings;
the construction of suitable sidewalk
on the east side of Queens Chapel road
for the school children; full-time
library; site for an elementary school

MARYLAND and Virginia children at
tending the city schools; the landscap-
irg of the Taft School grounds and
the cooperation Of the Parent-Teach-

Testimonials for their services rem

and president, respectively, were sent
to Julian F. Belfield and George L.

ARCHITECTS ADOPT
CONSULTATION PLAN
New Service, Similar to That
Employed by Physicians,
Sets Precedent.

A newly organized consultation
service through which approximately
so registered architects have made
their training and experience avail
able to householders, In q manner
similar to the services Of . doctor.
has been inaugurated here.
Organization Of this service, which
marks O change In precedent In the
architectural profession, has been In
stituted to bring about . closer con-
tact between the profession and home
owners, particularly at . time when
great stress Is being placed upon re-
modelling and undermining OF DWELL
ings. Heretofore property owners
have been able to employ architects
solely on the basis Of complete serv-
ice, involving the preparation Of plans,
designs, specifications and supervision.
For these reasons the average home
owner desiring expert advice on
small modernization projects has In
the past found it impracticable to en-
ploy an architect.
Now an architects services may be
obtained for advice on remodeling
work on the basis Of very nominal
fee. either for ONCE consultation or
home inspection. A standard fee has
been agreed upon by the Philadelphia
architects participating In this move
ment. A central point has been estab-
lished where property owners may
make. inquiries by telephone.

|MODERN|z|NGSEEN
|F0R ALL BUILDINGS
Work May Be Delayed, but
II Must Eventually Come,
Magazine Says.

All buildings now standing in the
Unated States must be modernized
eventually, e. L. Gilbert states in the
leading editorial of the April issue OF
Building Modernization magazine.
"Modernization of all kinds Of build
ings is something which for q time
may be delayed" Gilbert points out.
Eventually. however. this must re-
ceive attention. for buildings wear out
as well as do automobiles, clothes and
furnishings. Insidiously, not easily
identified except by the experienced.
the compound -interest-like advances
of depreciation and obsolescence eat
away the worth Of structures. There
is no staying Of the hand Of time in
this respect.
For the last five years property
owners in this country have neglected
their homes. their business and their
manufacturing buildings. Statistics
prove that only a fraction Of the
modernization work required has been
done. The day Of reckoning is at
handl No longer can the store fronts
of Main street claim principal value
as antiques. America has started to
spend again and the public's dollars
will find their way into the tills Of
the attractive shops. Competition is
keen in all lines Of business. The fac
tory owner who refuses to modernize
will find his obsolete plant in losing
position. And the home owner who
has 'teen-age youngsters will realize
that. to keep the juniors at home.
home must be attractive. convenient
and worthy of the young folks pride.
THE backlog Of work to be done, OF
materials to be utilized, extends
into fabulous figures" says Gilbert.
Thirteen billion dollars must be spent
to bring homes up to the American
standard, and non-residentiAl struc-
lures require an equivalent expenditure
or more. Logically, the question
occurs: Are we at the threshold Of a
new kinda more intelligent and a
more sustained type of building indus
try boom?"

indicative OF the upturn in the
plumbing business. net new orders for
vitreous china plumbing fixtures for
the first two months Of 1885 as re-
ported to the United States Bureau Of
the Census were 4S5,2os pieces, as
compared with q total of 144,1 1853 pieces
for the first two months Of 1884. and
leo,s2s pieces for January and Febru-
ary Of 1888.
In other words, total orders for
January and February, 1895, were
more than the grand total for the cor
responding periods for both 1884 and
1898, the Plumbing and Heating In
dustries Bureau points out.
The increase In the activity OF the
plumbing industry Is due to modern
ization work created by the Federal

Housing Administration program and
also the unprecedented low prices.
Some types Of staple plumbing nx-
lures are selling for less today than
at any time in the last 20 years, ac-
cording to the bureau.
The index number for q iz.foot
recessed bathtub which In 1914 w-s
s7.1 rose to 112.1 in 1920, and 100 In
1925. and dropped to IS in 1928. It
rose from 61.9 in 1892 TO IS In 1898,
but dropped to 55.1 in 1895.
Increased activity is expected in the
Spring months when the mortgage
insurance program under titles 2 and ,
of the F. H. A. gets fully under way.
Under this program, o home owner
will be able to borrow 90 per cent Of
the value Of the real estate plus the
cost Of the improvement. The loan
will be spread over 20 years, payable
in monthly installments.
