without proper provision for boilers
and furnaces. Bad arrangement
makes for bad smoke conditions,
Kugle said. In planning a building,
he said, provision for proper heating
seems to be a secondary consideration
with many architects. Kugel recalled
one case in which the architect had
omitted provision for draughts, VEN
tilation and even smokestacks.
"Guilty" Oil Burners.
Especially productive sources Of SCOT
are clumsily ore carelessly installed
oil burners, Kugel said. These omit
a greasy smudge that sticks to sur
faces and is difficult to remove. There
are guilty" burners Of this type In
every section Of Washington.
To combat the consequences of i'm
proper installations, Kugels newly
established department is planning q
system Of heating equipment permits.
These would be withheld from new
units until approved installations are
made and would have the effect Of
halting progress on a building unless
the boiler arrangements were all right
because building permit would be
contingent on permit from the diW-
sion of smoke regulation.
Permits also will be issued in cases
where building owners can be induced
to make changes in existing equip
ment which Is found to offend.
Hits High Volatile Coal.
Another cause Of smoke nuisance
Kugel said. Is the widespread use of
high volatile coal. enormously called
soft coal (not all soft coal is high
volatile coaD. This type Of fuel is re.
latively inexpensive and its use has
increased. Kugel said, however. 1t
was not always question Of ability
to buy better coal. Some persons do
not realize the soiling effects Of high
volatile brands.
There Is no ordinance which pro-
hibits the use of soft coal in private
residences or industries here and the
Smoke Control Divisions only resort
in instances of this kind Of nuisance
is to seek to make fuel consumers
conscious Of their neighborly respon-
sibilities.
Kugel feels that because smoke con-
troll is not a spectacular subject like
vice or crime it is difficult to arouse
public sentiment. The task Of making
the public Of Washington smoke
conscious" is q matter of convincing

Fairfax Court Grants Writ
Pending Outcome of Suit
Against Control.
By stafr Correspondent Of The Star.

By Stai Correspondent Of The Star.
FAIRFAX, Va, March 31.-An in
junction preventing the Virginia Milk
Commission from enforcing price
fixing regulations In the Alexandria
Arlington milk market was granted to-
day by Circuit Court Judge Walter T.
Mccarthy. pending decision on a suit
filed by Thomas L. and Richard E.
Hazel of Falls Church, proprietors Of
Hazel's Dairy, which seeks invalida-
tion of the regulations on grounds Of
unconstitutionality.
The Milk Commissions decree, an
nounced March 26 following extended
investigation, fixed minimum prices
for producers and distributors in the
area and named local supervisory
board. The regulations were to take
effect April l.
The Hazel brothers, distributors,
who serve approximately l.400 GUS
toners In Arlington and Fairfax
Counties, specifically object to the
minimum retail price of 13 cents a
quart established by the commission,
and insist on being allowed to main
tain their price of II cents a quart
for grade A milk, which they say they
have charged since starting in buSi-
ness five years ago,
The bill of particulars presented by
Attorney Lawrence w. Douglas, the
Hazels' attorney, brands the commits
sion's regulations as arbitrary, in
equitable, unreasonable and discrim-
inatory" and declares the establishing
of minimum price on milk pur-
chased beyond the limits of the State
is unconstitutional in that it at
tempts to regulate interstate COM
merce.
It is maintained that the Hazel
dairy cannot continue to do business
If forced to sell milk at controlled
prices in competition with lower prices
charged by Washington dairies in the
Falls Church area, and that the COM
mission is without authority to reg
ulate or control prices at which their
competitors from the District of Co.
lumbia may sell milk in the Arling-
ton-Alexandria market"
The complaint further declares that
"far from promoting the announced
purpose Of the Legislature in enact
ing the milk control act, which was to
Insure fair and equitable prices to pro-
ducers &. the RECOMMENDATION of prices
in this area will inevitably destroy the
market for Virginia producers and will
force the sale of their milk to WASH
tngton diaries.
These distributors, thus enabled
to obtain the business of their Vir-
ginia competitors by underselling, will
then be free to pass the reduced price
back to the producers who will then
have only one nearby market in which
to SELL
In addition to establishing a mini
mum price schedule, the commits
sion's regulations also provide that
each ncensee in the sales area must
file with the chairman Of the local
board a confidential report on the
quantity of milk sold to distributors
and the prices received.
The distributors are required to file
basic allotments for each producer
delivering milk to them and no dis
tributor is permitted to take on a new
producer without consent Of the
board.
The regulations were requested by
majority of producers in the area
in an attempt to bring about stabili-
Eation OF prices.

Because of the urgency Of the sit
uatlon the Commissioners agreed to
transmit the supplemental estimate to
the Budget Bureau today and to ask
for immediate action.
During the meeting today Commis-
sioner Hazen outlined his proposal to
raise sl,000,000 next year by a one
cent increase in the gasoline tax to be
used to employ relief clients on high
way construction, but not definite &C
ton was taken on the matter, pending

Meanwhile, the American Automo-

At the same time, the Works Prog

lem. In a letter to Representative
Greenway, Democrat Of Arizona
Aubrey Williams, deputy administra-
tor, said the relief situation would
have to be handled now as part OF
the responsibilities Of the Board OF
Public Welfare.
Letters Exchanged.
williams wrote Mrs. Greenway Il
response to a letter she sent Harry
L. Hopkins, w. P. A. administrator
inquiring about the relief situation
in the District. The letter. dated
March 80. read:
lis it true that there will be
tonight 5000 people cut of the
relief rolls in the District Of Columbia
and no provisions made for them Of
any kind between April / and April
Is, when they will draw their first
w. P. A. checks-if they have been
fortunate enough to be assigned to
w. P. A?
I'VE ask confirmation Of this in
formation, which we got through the
supervising personnel Of the District
relief office. because a friend Of our:
is being cut of on April /, and has
no way to provide food for his
family for the next IS days.
May we have your answer. SO
that If it Is true, we can do our
part as citizens to arouse the District
to the emergency"
Williams Answer.
The reply from Williams follows:
"Mr. Hopkins has asked me to reply
to your letter Of this date regarding
the relief situation In the District
of Columbia.
"Since relief appropriations for the
District are no longer handled in
the form of grants from this organi-
zation, we have no direct connection
with the administration Of relief for
the District; this Is now handled as
a part Of the responsibilities of the
Board Of Public Welfare.
"The immediate situation grows out
of the fact that the recent appro-
priation of Congress for relief pur-
poses in the District for the rest of
the fiscal year is sufficient to provide
assistance only for the unemployable
cases, and for assistance in the form
of aid to dependent children as one
part Of the security program. Ap-
proximately 1000 cases will be dropped
on April /. These consist Of:
81. Seven hundred families who
were already assigned w. p. A. jobs
but who were receiving supplementary
relief from the District.
"2. Two thousand families, the
heads Of which had been certified
as eligible for w. P. A. Jobs, but for
whom w. p. A. did not have sufficient
funds to employ.

Board Appoints Teachers;
City May Raise Salaries
Employees Given Hope OIL
Increase at Farley of
Kern and Aids.

The 1000 employees of the Indi-
annapolis civil city today anticipated
a partial restoration next year of
salary reductions. Mayor Kern
and department heads gave them
this hope in a conference yester-
day.
The conference was called by the
Mayor to inform his aids that prac-
tically all data had been collected
for a salary survey. He cautioned
them to use the utmost economy in
preparation of their 1887 budgets
Mayor Kern pointed out that the
data had not yet been classified and
that the increase in salaries. il
finally allowed, could not be de-
termined until this was accom-
plished. The new salary scheduled
is to be prepared after careful com
parison of city positions with cor
responding positions in private
business and wages paid by Is or
80 municipalities similar in size to
indianapolis, it was said.
Persons who have made a study
OF the proposed increase believe il
may be approximately TX per cent
or one-half of the Is per cent BY
which the salaries have been re.
duced. 1t was recalled that pre-
viously Mayor Kern had promised
flremen that he would recommend
such an increase.
In preparing their budgets the
department heads were told to re.
duce all other items as much as
possible in an effort to offset the
prospective increase in salaries
The mayor also urged speed ir
transmitting the estimates to City
Controller Walter Boetcher so that
ample time could be given to 6
study of salary adjustments.
According to figures in the city
controllers office, if the salary in
crease averages 71s per cent il
would raise the civil city's annua
pay roll by 1851 ,012.71. The pay roll
for the current year is $3,480, 1859 so
Such an increase would REQUIRE
raising of the tax rate approx
mately cents if based on the pres
ent valuation of $4,000, 900, it was
