Scattered about the debris-strewn

the broken heads and the dismem-

the arms and legs of papier-mache

Chinese classical dolls, puppets,

I saw strange contrast to this
picture of death and desolation in the
recumbent, undiscovered forms of
Japanese soldiers so exhausted from
the fierce duties of war that they
sought the peace of sleep.
Outside the shell-broken City Hall

Today 1t Is ruin itself.
-Four weeks Of incessant lombard.

This great development was de-

$4,000 to Repair Bridge
Regarded as Waste of Money.

SOUTHEAST WASHINGTON re-
CARDS the $4,000 item in the
District appropriation bill for re-
pairs to the Pennsylvania Avenue
Bridge as its very own neighbor-
mood lemon" They and other
citizens familiar with the bridge
need at that point consider the
spending of that amount for re-
pairs as a waste of money.
Though the bridge is old and
somewhat decrepit, it can carry the
limited traffic over its narrow road
way with perfect safety if the pres
ent weight limitations are observed.
The real need, however, is for a
bridge of sufficient width and
strength to relieve the congestion
OF traffic and avoid the delay and
Inconvenience which is now the
rule.
While it is true that by reason
OF the location of this bridge in
the Southeast section, the South
casters have a special interest. all
or Washington is interested in its
replacement. for it is used by the
people of all sections. And, as this
much-needed structure is sure to
be built before long, there is a gen.
eral desire that it be a memorial
to Washington own John Philip
SOusa.

The AbattOir and Other
Nuisance Industries

ORGANIZED civic Washington
was rubbing It's eyes in bewll-
derment last week over the case of
the abattOlr project. AT the meet
ing of the House District Commit
tee on Wednesday representative
OF the Gobel Co. appeared and first
offered to abandon plans for the
erection of its new slaughter house
on the Benning site if compensated
in the amount Of 100000 This
Is far below former figure of ST.
100000. On being advised that
the committee was without author
lty to make such arrangement an
nouncement was made that the
company would build at some other
place where such an industry is
welcome.
Following this the House COM
mittee tabled the pending bill TO
prohibit the establishment and op-
GRAFTON of certain nuisance indus
tries in the District of Columbia.
The morning papers all carried
stories of this apparent solution of
the slaughter house problem
On Thursday afternoon it was
announced that the president of
the company states that he is going
ahead with plans to build the abat-
tolre at Benning which will be
ready for operation by October !.
C TO TOW ~,
variance with the announcement
made by counsel for the company
the day before, has stirred the
opposing forces to renew their
efforts for the early enactment Of
the pending bill.
Entirely aside from the immedi-
ate question of this slaughter house
project there is a rather general
CIVIC organization and official belief
that real need exists for legiSla-
ton to protect the National Capital
from nuisance industries. Effect
lVely safeguarding against anv fu-
ture slaughter houses, soap factor
les, fertilizer plants. distllleriea or
other equally obnoxious industries
Is problem the solution of which
should not be deferred. The Dis
trict coming law came along fully
half century too late to give the
best results, SO the general desire
appears to be that the doors be
closed to new nuisance industries
and any existing ones be gradually
eliminated.

BY JESSE c. SUTER.


- ONE urgent District legisla-
ton may be able to get
through because of the sud-
den change in Senate pro-
cedure brought about through the
death of Senator Robinson. Among
these are the proposal to permit
temporary advances to The Dis
trict Of Columbia from the United
States Treasury and the omnibus
revenue bill. Prior to the sudden
ending of the prolonged legislative
day of July 6 in the Senate, the
completion of any District legisla-
ton appeared practically hopeless.
Monday was District day in the
House, but only two bills were
passed. One of these was H. r.
1858, to define. regulate and license
real estate brokers and real estate
statesmen, to create a real estate
commission in the District of Co.
lumbla, to protect the public
against fraud in real estate transac-
tlons, and for other purposes. The
passage of this bill has been urged
by the Washington Real Estate
Board and other bodies for num-
Der of years.
The other bill passed was H. R.
7084, providing that all cabs for
hire in the District of Columbia be
compelled to carry insurance for
the protection Of the passengers
and for other purposes. 1t was
urged that in connection with the
passage of this bill, a companion
bill, H. R. 6697, be passed to au-
thorize and empower the Public
Utilities Commission to limit the
number of public vehicles to be IL
censed and operated in the Dis
trlct of Columbia.
After rather extended consid-
GRAFTON the matter was disposed of
by the House adopting a motion
striking out the enacting clause of
the bill.
Monday was also notable in the
House of Representatives through
the filing there of report of the
Airport Commission. This report
recommends the location of the
Washington airport at Camp
Springs, Prince Georges County,
Md, about 10 miles from the CEN
ter Of the city. The action of the
commission has reopened dis
CuSSion of the entire airport uues-
ton, the outcome of which cannot
be foreSeen. Some DISAPPOINTMENT
has been expressed at the failure
OF the commission TO suggest a
manner in which the airport shall
be financed.
1t is reported that Senator King,
chairman Of the commission and
also chairman of the Senate Com
mlttee on the District of Columbia.
is drafting a bill to acquire the
site recommended, the project to
be financed by the United States.
1t is said to be the idea of the Sem
ator that the services of this air.
port Will be more Of national
than Of a local character and
should therefore be financed by the
Federal Government.
The District Commissioners are
reported to be busying themselves
in an endeaVor to obtain congress
Slonal action on the revenue bill
and the bill to permit temporary
advances to the District of Colum-
bla from the Federal Treasury.
Commissioner Hazen during the
week submitted to the Commits
Sloners' Committee on Reorganiza-
ton of the District Government a
number Of recommendations. Some
OF these have stirred up consid
cradle civic discussion. In this
connection it is reported that the
committee will be ready with its
plans for reorganization in the near
future

Civic Problems, Civic Bodies
Hope for d. C. Legislation Seen-A Modern
Adoption Law for the Disfrict-Hazen
Proposes City Government Changes

in connection with the mainte-
nance Of the park roads and drain
age systems, the reorganization OF
the assessors office, division of the
cost Of the Geological Park-are all
expected to meet with organization
approval.
AS to the proposed consolidation
of various recreational activities
there opens up a very interesting
and debatable problem. Consoli-
dation of these activities is con-
Sldered very desirable, but there
is a great diversity of opinion as to
the agency under which they shall
be consolidated. Is it to be through
the expansion of the municipal
playground system under the Dis
trict Commissioners? Is it to be
through the municipal center de-
partment Of the school system?
Or is this Job to be farmed out to
the Federal Government?
There is no agreement as to these
several solutions, with many citi-
zens strong partisans of persons who
at present happen to head these
several agencies.
The Commissioners Committee
on Reorganization Is expected to
make a report at an early date. 1t
has almost completed its factual
survey of the District government
and soon will start on its final re-
port.
Among the civic leaders there
has been some surprise expressed
that the District Commissioners
have not publicly included in their
recommendations to the committee,
the inclusion of a proposal favor
ing national representation for the
District of Columbia. The recent
legislative experiences of the Com
miSSlOnerS and the fact that
former Board of Commissioners
went on record as formally ap-
proving the granting to the Dis
trlct of Columbia of voting repre-
Sentatlon in the Congress and the
Electoral College would appear to
afford good and sufficient reason
for such recommendation

Hazen Proposes Changes
In Administrative Machinery

DlSSENT and approval is
heard regarding Commission
er Hazen's recommendations for
changes in the municipal admin
lstrative machinery. The Com
missioner got off to bad start
by resurrecting the old thread
bare recommendation that the ap-
pointment and control of the
Board of Education be transferred
to the District Commissioners.
While there are many in the
civic groups who advocate the
election Of the Board of Education
by vote of the people, there are
very few who favor the transfer
of the appointment power from
the judges to the Commissioners.
Appointment of the recorder of
deeds, absorption Of the park po-
lice by the metropolitan police
force, removal of the District
budget from the Federal Bureau
OF the Budget and the establish
ment Of the entire water system
as municipality controlled public
utility, it Is believed. will receive
general civic support. Other items
in Hazen's recommendations, such
as the centralization of authority
