FRIENDS UNITS
T0BE RAZED

The Friends Meeting House and
the Sidwell Friends School, 1900
block I st. N. W., will be razed
to make way for new general
hospital, it was revealed today.
The historic buildings were pur-
chased yesterday by the Columbia
Holding Company, an association
of physicians, at a price under
stood to be about 100000.
The school, which since its erec-
ton in 1888 has been attended by
Herbert Hoover, Charles A. Lind
bergh, jr., and Archibald Roose-
welt, probably will be transferred
to property adjacent to and oppo-
site the Friends Suburban School
in the 5000 block Wisconsin Ave
nue..
If this occurs it will be the
realization Of a dream of the late
Thomas w. Sidwell, who estab-
lished the school and was its first
principal. In 1914 he was respon-
sible for the purchase by the
Friends of the Wisconsin Avenue
property, used as a playground un-
til 1922. At present it houses
eight elementary grades and a
kindergarten.

TWO CHILDREN
HURT IN AUTO
ACCIDENTS
Sixth Day Of Safety
Campaign Ends With
No Deaths Here

WaShington's sixth day of its
campaign for safer driving bore
fruit for the first time since the
campaign proclamation was issued
by Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen
the first of the week, when traffic
reports today showed that only
two persons were injured on the
Districts streets during the past
"a hours.
District officials looked upon
this drop in traffic accidents with
encouragement. The first four
Gays of the campaign accounted
for three deaths.
In nearby Maryland, however,
Frank Roman, So of Branchvllle,
was critically injured last night
in an automobile accident. He
was carried to the Casualty Hos
pital by the RiadenSburg Fire
Rescue Squad aro was found to
have suffered fractured left leg
and a possible fracture of the
skull.
One of the two injured in the
washington accidents was Warren
Saulconer, IA, of SOB RittenhouSe
St. N. W., who received a broken
collar bone and leg injuries last
night when the bicycle on which
he was riding, near Thirteenth
and w Streets Northwest, was
struck by an automobile which po-
lice say was driven by Frank Capin,
of 2039 Park Rd. N. w. Young
Saulconer was carried to the Gar
field Hospital.
The Districts second accident
to be reported was that of a six
year-old colored boy, Regnal Jack
son, of the 300 block of Oakdale
Pl. N. w., who was struck by an
automobile in the 1900 block OF
Four - St. N. w.
The child was carried to Freed
mems Hospital suffering head in
juries. Police say the car which
struck him was driven by Florence
Blumenthal, %, Of the 400 block
of Hobart Pl. N. w.

GROUPS STUDY
NEWD. PLAN

Possible reorganization Of activi
ties of the District government
was under scrutiny by two groups
were today.
The committee of District citi-
zens appointed by the Commission
erS to probe the matter met for
the first time yesterday and an
nounced that it will give its first
attention to the formulation of leg
iSlation designed to broaden the
powers of the Commissioners.
Meanwhile, Representative Ross
Collins CD of Mississippi, chair.
man of the House District Appro'
priationS subcommittee, is giving
study to a suggestion that all
school Libraries be placed under
the public library system.
The MiSsisSippian discussed this
proposition with Superintendent
of School Frank w. Ballou and DR..
George F.. Bowerman, public
librarian at a conference yeSter-
day, but it is understood they
could not reach any agreement in
the matter.
Mr.. Collins is making every pos
sible effort to effect consultations
in the District government Set-up
with a view to eliminating over
lappings.
E. Barrett Prettyman, former
scorporation counsel for the Dis
trict, was chosen as chairman OF
the commissioners reorganization
committee yesterday, and the
group fixed March 18 as the date
for its next meeting.

OF NEP0T|SM
FACESD.C.
House Group StartIes
Commissioners With
Second Charge

District government employees
yesterday were given their second
jolt within a week, as result OF
Investigations ordered by the
House District Appropriations sub
committee, when it was learned
that charges of nepotism in the
local government personnel are to
be probed.
Earlier in the week, Representa-
tive Ross Collins CD Of MisSis-
Sippi, chairman of the Subcommit-
tee, directed that he be furnished
with a list showing how many Of
the District employees are engaged
in outside work and what the ma
ture of that outside employment is.
The new inquiry into nepotism
was understood to have been
launched when charges were made
by an undiScloSed source that one
District official has 20 employees
on the District pay roll drawing
salaries totaling $4,000 annually.
Probe Is Secret
Representative Collins ordered
the nepotiSm probe to be launched
by District Auditor Daniel Dono-
van, and such secrecy has been
thrown around the inquiry that
even the District Commissioners
did not know it had been called
for, according to statements they
made to the press.
Neither Commissioner George
E. Allen nor Melvin c. Hazen. vino
approve all appointments in the
District Government, has any
thing to fear from the probe, how
ever, since the former explained
he has no relatives on the pay roll
and the latter has but one, a niece,
Miss Margaret Davis, who is Sec
retary of the Alcohol Beverage
Control Board.
Meanwhile, the results Of the
investigation concerning the OUT
side work of District employees was
transmitted to Mr. Collins and is
understood to have shown that not
more than 100 If the employees en-
gage in outside work.
1000 Are Suspected
Several days ago, Mr.. Collins
revealed that the main purpose OF
the outside work investigation was
to determine how many of the Dis
trict employees drive taxicabs in
their spare time. He said that
charges had been made that as
many as 1000 were thus engaged.
1t is the belief of the Subcom-
mittee chairman that there are
too many taxicabs on the District
streets and that if District en-
ployes are driving cabs in their
spare time they should be COM
PEELED to stop. This could be done
by writing a provision in the
appropriation bill directing the
Public UtilitiN; Commission to re-
fuse to license any taxi drivers
who are employed in the District
government.
AS to doctors and lawyers who
give part of their time to the local
government, however, Collins said
that he feels that the city gets this
service at a low rate and that he
does not intend to interfere with
such procedure.

(ThiS is the last article OF
the series dealing tUith areas OF
Washington Which hdUe been
so sighted as actually to en-
danger the health OF citisenSJ
Health hazards could be wiped
out and adequate water supplies,
sewerage and sanitation could be
made available to the residents Of
Washington Highlands for an out
lay of only $150,000, it was revealed
to The Times today.
This assurance came from the
office of the District Sanitary En-.
gineer and represents the esti-
mated cost of approximately two
miles of sewer pipes from the new
sewage treatment plant at Blue
Plains to the Sewerless portion of
the Southeast section.
Responsibility for correction Of
the insanitary conditions now
prevalent in Washington High.
lands, it was explained, lies
Squarely in the lap of Congress.
Under District law, the installation
of main sewer lines must be fl.
nanced by congressional appropria-
ton.
Collins Is Notified
Citizens of the Washington
Highlands area have already
brought their plight to the atten.
ton of Representative Ross Col.
Inns Cd, of Mississippi, chairman
of the District Appropriation Sub.
committee. 1t is expected that
Representative Collins will investi.
gate the matter further at other
hearings to be held shortly.
The sewers are the primary OBJ
jective of washington Highlands
residents, since the barriers to
water supplies would then be auto.
matically removed. District regu.
lations forbid the laying Of water
pipes into homes where no outlets
exist for the disposal of the water.
Septic tanks, allowable IN some
sections of the city, are not feasible
at washington Highlands because
of the marshy character Of the
ground, according to District
plumbing inspectors.
Other Costs Listed
If the appropriation of $150,000
is obtained for the trunk line sew
erS, the only costs remaining would
be the assessments for the eXten-
sions Of sewer pipes and water
pipes in the houses. These costs
would be borne by the property
owners on an assessment basis Of
$3.50 per foot of property frontage
for both sewers and waters. The
assessments are payable one-third
within so days of the installation
and other tWo-thirds in yearly in
StallmentS.
Water mains have been laid
throughout the area, but the sew
erage regulations make the mains
inaccessible except through public
outdoor hydrantS. These mains
run from Nichols Avenue to HALEY
Place to First Street, Xenia Street,
Yuma Street and Mississippi Ave.
S. E.
AS brought out by spokesmen for
the citizens of Washington High
lands, property owners in the area
must pay just as much in taxes as
the more fortunate residents OF
other sections of the city where
sanitation, water and sewerage is
taken for granted. They want Con-
gresS to recognize this fact and bal
ance the equities involved through
an immediate appropriation,
