Burnley Growers To Vote On
Marketing Quotas Dec. IL

marketing quotas are announced
by the secretary of agriculture
when the supply of hurley tobac-
co is above the level defined as
the amount needed for use in this
country and for export" the AAA
officer stated. 'Burley supply is
now above that point. The farm
ers themselves will decide in a
referendum on December III
whether they want quotas in 1888,
If more than one-third of the
growers voting oppose the quota,
it will not become effective. 4
! ct now looks like the 1898 crop,
will be about so million pounds
above the consumption level. This
is largely thearesult Of the unpsu--
ally high yield per acre in 1888.
If there had been no marketing
quota in 1888 the total supply
would be materially / Target"
sFloyd said.
!, Burley tobacco growers are in
"a position to produce more than
800, 100000, pounds of tobacco "a
ayear. The consumption level Of

To date, they have on hand no less
than round half dozen, first class,

It. speaks very highly indeed for
the Players, or for the persuasive
powers Of the article in the last Co.
operator. From near and far they
came all bound and determined to be-
come actors. Unfortunately there is
but one opening and after that has
been filled the problem will be to
place the rest Of these enthusiasts
in some ether part Of the product ton.
All, if only the call for hel ners to
build scenery and sets had been answered
as we'll. For lime they considered
US ing the exc ess buffers but found
that would complicate matters too much.
To convert butler into a carpenter
takes years and years Of hard work.
When they first start they merely
stand around looking respectful. holding

TRAFFIC TUNNEL
PLAN PRESENTED
Georgetown Group Is Told
of Wisconsin Avenue
Subway Scheme.

A proposal for an automobile sub
way extending beneath Wisconsin ave-
nue. from r to M streets NV. to
relieve traffic congestion through
Georgetown was made by Col. c. A.
seoane before the Georgetown Citi-
Dens' Association last night.
The army engineer estimated
3,500-foot subway would cost about
100000 and contended that it would
handle much Of the trafic en- route
to and from outlying areas served by
Wisconsin avenue.
Taking issue with him was John
1hlder, who declared that his expe-
riences with tunnels in New York and
Boston showed that such subways tend
to accentuate the problem Of traflc.
Secs Larger Problem Created.
Temporarily, they relieve the sit
uation, but the problem grows more
complex as the business district begins
to expand" Mr.. Ihlder said. Instead
Of simply dealing with the immediate
situation, thorough study of the
whole problem should be undertaken
with a view to long-term planning.
A motion by John Hadley Doyle
approving an increased appropriation
for relief needs was adopted unani-
, mously. r. H. Fielder denounced the
, action of the Budget Bureau in reduc-
ing the original estimates for relief
during the coming fiscal year.
School Control Backed.
, DR.. Frank Woodward, member of
, the Committee on Schools, introduced
a motion on recommendation of that
body providing the association favor
. the School Board retaining control
+. over school buildings. It was passed
unanimously.
A motion by Milo Brinkley, chair
man of the Public Utilities Committee,
opposing any appropriation for a
study by Congress of the possibility
of public ownership of electric power
: plants in the District was passed.
Mr.. Brinkley said the District has
the lowest electric rate in the Nation.
, The association went on record op-
posing any increase in the speed limit,
on motion by William H. Harrison.
