Ernest Coll, the city engineer. has
developed . process of controlled
tipping" which is attracting the
attention and visits of experts from
all parts Of the world.
Mr.. Coll has been decorated by
the King of England for showing
how dumping Of refuse can be con-
Quoted without being made a nui-
sance." he explained. His methods
can be used in Washington, New
York or any other large city just
as successfully, DR.. Soper believes.
The method is simple and alb
solutely bans the burning of refuse.
As the offensive matter is dumped
earth is spread over it. Pieces of
carpet, anything that comes in
the trash or waste carts are laid
out on the ground. In time fer
mentation sets in and the top soil
is made rich for the planting of
grass. Instead of unsightly dumps,
large areas are provided for the
planting of trees or shrubbery. The
dumping program is planned sys-
tematically, six months ahead, new
areas constantly being used. Slop-
ing ground is the best. There are
no odors, no flys, no rodents" DR..
Soper explained. I'm Bradford it
is considered an offense to burn
sefuse or leave it uncovered.

Capt. Mi||ikin Urges
Recreation for Youth

Washington schools new recrea-

Capt. Rhoda Millikin, head of the

woman head spoke before the Mount
Pleasant Citizens Association meet
ing at the Mount Pleasant branch
OF the Public Library.
Capt. Millikin suggested that such
organizations as boys clubs are too
standardized in their programs for
the sophisticated ages" from IA to
10. Clubs cease to interest Adde'S
cents, she said, but If boys and girls
are provided with varied recreational
opportunities they will be interested
and can use their energy in worth
while pursuits.
Above everything, the Women's
Bureau wants something more than
standardized service for Washing
ton youth, Capt. Milikin said. The
most common age for felonies In the
District is II, and the worst delin-
quencies are between II and 10, she
said.

Land|ord-Tenan CourI
Conditions Studied
By CIubwomen
Sectional Group Hears
Discussion and Votes
To Attend Sessions

A review of the conditions and
proposed changes in the landlord
and tenant branch of Municipal
Court was given yesterday by Mrs.
Ernest Field Parkinson before the
civics section of the Women's City
Club.
Touching on costs charged at the
court Mrs. Parkinson pointed out
that the fees are originally paid by
the landlord but are charged against
the tenant when judgment is award
ed for possession of the house on
the basis of non-payment of rent.
A reduction of these fees would be
to the advantage of the tenant. she
said.
She was introduced by Mrs. H.
w. Wiley, chairman of the Civics
Committee. who called attention to
the series of articles which appeared
recently in The Star on high fees
charged in the branch which result
In large profit to Municipal Court
when considering receipts and ex-
penditures.
The speaker praised the effort Of
the Washington Housing Association
to educate the tenants in court pro-
cedure. She read to the section a
circular being sent out by the asso-
citation urging tenants to appear at
the court when summoned and in
structing them on the best meth
DDS of improving their relationship
with the landlord
While expressing the belief that
corrective measures in the landlord
and tenant branch would aid the
situation. Mrs. Parkinson also de-
clared that Ito get at the root Of
the situation, fundamentals must be
considered" and that an educa-
tlonal program would help.
Relative to proposal to hold the
landlord and tenant sessions in the
afternoon instead of the morning,
as Is now the case, the speaker said
the Women's Bar Association is on
record favoring trial period Of two
months for the afternoon recon-.
mendation. The housing group IA
vors this change also, she said.
Following her talk. the section
passed a resolution urging that a
group visit the court and some of
the homes where members of the
low-income group live.
Mrs. Wiley spoke in opposition to
a bill introduced at the last session
OF Congress which would place an
additional tax of cent per gallon
on gasoline sold in the District. She
said the revenue would go into the
general fund and would constitute
a diversion from use in highway
construction and maintenance.
The group passed resolution, in
PRODUCED by her, and referred to the
next business meeting. protesting
against passage of the bill.

Side Sewer Tunnel
Excavation Gets Under Woy
Solid Rock Is Being Blasted
Just South of P Street 49,.

With dynamite hurting heavy
planks, old automobile tires and
stones into the air along Rock Greek
Potomac: Parkway south of P Street
Bridge, work has started on a new
tunnel for the west side" sewer
part Of the big Rock Greek diversion
sewer project.
Already work is well under way for
the least side" diversion sewer wtficn
will run for more than four miles
from the Potomac River up the east
side of Rock Greek. This east side
project. divided into several sections,
has been prominent along Rock
Creek for months.
But the new west side project,
which will be shorter - something
over two miles long, is just getting
started. with the most spectacular
part of 1t blasting through solid rock
just south Of p street. Boards and
old tires are laid over the site OF. q
blast to keep rock from flying too far.
= Construction has started at three
places for this new west side sewer.
Preliminary work is being done at
the river exit. where the sewer will
flow into the Potomac at the foot Of
Thirtieth street. Some digging and
pile driving is under way there. The
second operation Is blasting along
the parkway, where part Of the road
has been roped of near p street.
Traffic is halted before each blast.
Here a portal will be dug for the
tunnel to go under P street and head
northward. The third operation is
in the parkway just moth of Massa-
chusetts avenue, where q steam
shovel has started on another tunnel
portal.

The west side sewer, which Is
smaller in diameter as well as in
length than the east side sewer, will
run from the river, following the
west side of Rock Greek, except for
short crossover to the east bank,
to its terminus near Calvert street.
It will pick up about q score of
sewers from the west bank, prevent
ing pollution of the stream, except
in the case of an estimated two or
three big storms . year. The west
side sewer is to be 8 feet 8 inches
in diameter, as compared to the
east side sewer which Is more than
IA feet in diameter, large enough to
drive a truck through.
Good progress is being made on
the big west side sewer project. A
smaller new Piney Branch sewer
will connect with i. Tunnel work
is going forward underground at
several places. Blasting has dis
turbed several neighberhoods to the
point where oficial explanation is
to be made soon, as to allay UNI
grounded fears, as to its conse-
quences to homes and business
houses.
Harold A. Kemp, chief of engi-
neering of the Department of Sani-
tary Engineering of the District of
Columbia, said recently that COM
plants about blasting have alarmed
many people unnecessarily. The
amount of dynamite being used in
blasting in the tunnels is being
limited, he said, to shots" which

will not damage buildings. The
blasts sometimes shake houses so
that people can feel them tremble.
But the shaking, he explained, Is
due more to the sound" than to the
actual vibrations of the explosion.
Although the west side sewer has
not yet made its exit to the river,
work Is under way in several
sections. 1t will flow into the river
not far from the Washington Gas
Light Co. property. Several tunnels
are being cut on this project. The
closest to the river is one through
earth back Of the Francis School.
The next one northward is under p
street near the bridge, where men
are cutting through earth and rock.
There the working face" of the hole
is about $50 feet north of the portal.

to another tunnel to run southwark
to meet the tunnel running north

The sewer will follow IN open cut

From the Calvert street portal,

ceeding at about IL feet . day, with
prospects that this may be stepped
up to about 20 feet day. This tun-
mel is headed northward toward
Harvard street and will come out
in the Zoo near the bear dens.
Along Piney Branch, near the
Park Road Bridge, another tunnel
portal has been started to cut south
ward under Park road, so as not to
go under any houses, and proceed to
. place near the deer pens in the
Zoo. Up Piney Branch construction
is proceeding through an open cut
to 4 gate" in Piney Branch Valley,
where an overflow will be intercepted
to take pollution out of Piney
