TACOMA is about to enter
upon a new era of street
sweeping by a motored device
equipped with large brushes
which whirl around beneath a
special truck that sprinkles
as it whisks up the dirt.
Works Commissi r
Bergersen has long had the
idea, he told The Times, but
only now sees a way clear to
go ahead with it.
Bids were opened by the
board of contracts and awards
Monday afternoon, the same
day the council received the
APPROPRIATE ordinance
which can be passed next
week.
1t appears now that Pacific
ave, Broadway, and other
downtown streets that have
had bath only once a week
for years will receive a
tn orough cleaning every
night; and outlying business
districts that were visited by
flusher crews about once a
month may expect much more
frequent service.
The machine Bergersen has
in mind should move along at
its cleaning job at 8 to 10
miles an hour; and could
move from one district to
another at around 20 miles an
hour.
San Diego has 10 of them;
many western cities and
towns recently have adopted
them. Eventually, Bergersen
said, such machines may take
over the entire job of cleaning
Tacoma streets.
Downtown shoppers, down.
)wn business men and eve
ing theater-goers will well
)me the idea of clean streets
yain-any day, instead of
st Saturday morning.

Mrs. ], Walter Williamson, Of
Wilmington, Is Named
Vice President

RALEIGH, Jan. 12- Up Mrs.
Katherine P%endleton Arlington of
Warrenton, was reelected president
of the North Carolina State Art
society, at an annual meeting of the
society's board of directors here to.
day.
Also reelected were Mrs. Harold
[C. Dwelle of Charlotte, vice presi.
dent, and Mrs. James H. Gordon, OF
Raleigh, treasurer. New officers
are Ernest Haywood of Raleigh, and
Mrs. J.. Walter Williamson of Will
mington, vice presidents, and Gene
Erwin Of Chapel Hill, secretary.
Members of the executive com
mittee are DR.. Clarence Poe of Ra-
leigh, chairman, and Mrs. Henry M.
London, of Raleigh, A. D. McDoEald
of Durham, Russell T. Smith OF
Chapel Hill and DR.. B. W. Wells OF
Raleigh. All but Wells served on
the committee last year.
Mrs. Isabel Bowen Henderson OF
Raleigh, was appointed assistant
chairman. of the membership com.
mittee. Mrs. London will continue
as chairman.
The directors discussed, but took
no final action, on a proposal to &C
cept a settlement of $25, 900 as the
society's interest in the last quar-
ter" of the estate of Robert F
Phifer. who died in New York city
October 16, 1928.
Phifer's estate at the time Of his
death Vas valued at STATS, 900. His
will divided the estate into quarters,
which now are valued at about $780,
900 each, Attorney General Harry
Mcmillan said.
The society, named as a bene.
ficiary by Phifer, stands to receive
some money from each quarter OF
the estate. 1t is. almost certain to
get all of n quarter, MCMILLAN
said.
There is some doubt, however, as
to the society's claim on the fourth
quarter, since the society's bequest
hinges on the death of more than
two persons, McMullan said. Con.
s~equently, heirs have offered to set
tie the fourth quarter claim for
S25, 900.

Government Controls
Asked By Fairchild

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-R-Dr
Fred R. Fairchild, an economist
speaking as an official of the Unit,
ed States chamber Of commerce, as
serted today that congress SHOULD
set up controls to protect "our eco
nomic and political system from the
perils of imprudent expenditure poll
cies."
If government costs were cut te
within a few hundred million dollars
of a balanced budget, he said, he
would not hesitate to recommend
that business accept additional taxes
sufficient to cover the balance.
Under such conditions" he said,
"the encouragement and stimulus
given to business from the promised
restoration of stability of the ma
tional finances would doubtless more
than offset the deterring effect of the
additional taxes required"
