An engineering survey of the pro-
posed new sewage disposal plant to
cost some 100000 to $4,000 was au-
thorized by the City Council at a.
special meeting held Friday night. II
the project is entered into definitely,
as there is every indication it will be,
the city will receive a grant, or out
right gift, of As percent of the cost
from the Federal PWA, and can bor-
row the remaining IS percent at four
percent interest from the government.
Warren H. Booker, sanitary engi-
neer of the State Board of Health,
appeared before the Council and re-
commended that the project be un-
dertaken Immediately, while Federal
funds can be had so easily, and nearly
half of the cost donated. For some
months the Council has been prodded
by the State board to erect a new
sewage disposal plant east of the city
because of the admitted inadequacy
of the present obsolete plant, and a
new construction would be imperative
in the not distant future at the latest

is now offering us a contract which
based on last years expense for power
will save 500. All of this shows our
expenses will be less and less money
will be needed.
"In addition 1 am not at all salts
fled that an increase in rates will in
crease the income of the water works.
We have some 400 customers making
SIS to $40 weekly and if the rates are
raised these customers may find it
necessary to abandon the use of our
water, they not being on sewer line
Also many of our customers do not
use the minimum and the result is
they may find that they are paying
so much for small amount of water
that they will go back to the wells.
All in all 1 fear an increase in the
rates Will be offset by a loss of con-
humers."

In County

SILVER SPRING, Md, Jan. IA.
A workable plan for improving
the present form of county gov
ernment is all that is necessary
to insure Republicans a victory
in the Montgomery county elec-
tions next November, Earl w,
Shinn, of Bethesda, former chair
man of the Landon-LeGore Club,
declared here last night.
Speaking before the Montgom-
cry County Young Republican
Club, Shinn said that due to
marked changes in economic con-
ditionS and the attitude of the
people the form of government in
this county is archaic.
Wilton T. Allen, supervisor of
assessments and former chairman
of the county Republican State
central committee, outlined plans
for a Lincoln's Birthday Ball to
be held at the Washington Hote,,
February II, under the combined
auspices of Young Republicans of
Washington and nearby Mary,

The club voted down having its
annual dance this month as the
members wish to support the

Police Association, January 20, and

MARION DAVIES
REMEMBERED IN
WILL OF MINER
Admirer of Film Work
Leaves Cash, Lease

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. IA 0.N.SO.
Because he greatly admired her
film work, Marion Davies, lovely
blonde star, today had been re-
membered in the will of a Nevada
mining man.
Miss Davies was advised that the
late Clark Alvord, veteran miner
and postmaster of Nelson, New,
a desert outpost, had bequeathed
her $1,000 in cash and valuable
lease on a gold mine. Miss Davies
also was named as one Of the
executors of the will. 1t was under
stood As per cent of the Alvord
estate was to go to his legal heirs.
NEVER MET HIM
Miss Davies said she had never
met Alvord.
He wrote several letters ask
ing for photographs, which
were sent to him in the usual
course" she said. HE was
always very kind and compli-
mentary in his letters. appre-
ciated his good opinion OF my
work on the screen.
IT knew nothing of him until
I was informed of bis will.
Since he desired\me to have
part of his estate and to be an
executor of the estate, I must
try to think what would be the
best disposal to make of the
funds. 1 imagine the best thing
to do is to give the money to
charity or to some public pur.
pose in his name"
TELLS OF MEDALS
Miss Davies also revealed that
she had once received another re-
quest from a screen admirer.
"Once a war hero left me his
medals. 1 have them framed
in my room and 1 treasure them
as do the good will of all the
war Veterans-and, indeed, OF
all my friends"

Although Joan Marsh, pretty
blonde screen actress, makes as
high as $4,000 year, her father,
Charles G. Kosher, film studio
cameraman, must spend day in
the county jail for failure to pay
for her support.
LONG BATTLE
Kosher lost an 18-month battle,
which went to the State Supreme
Court, and has surrendered to
Superior Judge Thurmond Clarke
to receive the unusual sentence.
The sentence was imposed on
Kosher in July, 1885, on a con-
tempt charge brought by his for
mer wife, Mrs. Lolita Barr, who
was divorced from Kosher in 1928.
At that time Joan was little
girl, playing with dolls and enter
tanning no ideas of becoming a
movie star.

The terms of the divorce pro
vided that Kosher pay $3.50 a
month for Joan's support until
she was Il, and Kosher complied.
But when she was 18, she had
made her way in filmdom and
Kosher stopped the payments on
the grounds that she was self
supporting.
