other, there are about six lanes on
each side of the Avenue. That
means that there are actually IL
miles to 60 to clean every mile of
the Avenue. Many of the streets
are 40 feet wide, which means that
three trips have to be made on each
side, each swath cut by plow being
six or seven feet wide. Hence the
plows have to 60 six miles to clean
one mile of street.
Moreover, salt, which is helpful in
cleaning during a snowstorm, can
not be used here as elsewhere. 1t
forms saline solution, Mr.. Xanten
explained, that would ironiZe and
short circuit the underground third
rail used by streetcars. In fact, he
added, it would short circuit the
line if used within six blocks.
Mr.. Xanten has compiled a series
of instructions for snow-removal
work, which takes up some 100 legal
sized pages. 1t contains names of
streets to be cleaned, assignments of
foremen, streets to be sanded and
general rules to be followed. 1t took
years to compile, Mr.. Xanten said,
and has to be revised each year.
The division at its shop makes its
own steel waste cans, its truck
bodies, repair cranes and the push
cans used by the white wings" 1t
buys the truck motors and chassis
and fabricates the steel bodies.
The men in the division, Mr.. Kan
ten said, are usually trained by be-
ing placed with a group and fore
man. 1t takes about three months
to teach a garbage man his route
and a shorter time for the street.
cleaning worker. The men operat-
ing the various snow removal ma
chimes, he said, have to be trained
on the dumps.
One of the serious questions facing
the department, Mr.. Xanten re-
marked, is finding low grounds for
dumps. Many sections of the city
have already been filled in, he said,
and one Of the large areas being
used at present will not be useable
in about eight months from now.
Much Of the trash is burned in
incinerators, although their capacity
is not sufficient for all Of it. Funds
have been provided for a new in
cinerator, but even after being
placed in the incinerator there Is
| a residue.
The garbage is shipped by rail-
road to Cherrydale, Va, where it
is placed in digesters and cooked
for six or eight hours. 1t Is then
taken out and put under presses
exerting 5000 pounds to the square
inch. The grease is sold to soap
manufacturers and others, with the
receipts going to the credit Of the
District government. The remain
der of the garbage is burned in the
boiler to make the grease.

on this units agenda.
The Public Library Committee,
headed by B. M. McKelway, will
follow with much interest the con-
struction of the first unit of the new
central library building and discuss
plans for future construction of three
additional units of the building
Reorganization of the Police De-
partment will provide Chairman
Odell S. Smith and his Public Order
Committee with a variety of SUBJ
jects for discussion and action, while
the Public Schools Committee,
headed by George E. Keneipp, will
concern itself chiefly with the prob
lem of obtaining Federal aid for
sorely needed school facilities and
with the vocational training pro-
| gram.
Cooperation in efforts to relieve
| freight car shortages throughout the
country has been promised by the
Public Utilities and Transportation
Committee, which also will follow
closely the efforts of the utility
companies to meet defense require
ments Henry J. Saunders is the
/ chairman.
The River and Harbor Commit
/ tee, John A. Remon, chairman, is
one of the few units whose work
has been slowed down by the defense
effort This has resulted from the
calling of all available Army engi-
neer officers TO duty in the Regular
Army establishment.
The Traffic Committee, headed by
P. Y. K. Howat, has been active
most of the summer and expects no
letup in business" Charles S.
Stock. recently named chairman of
the Sanitation Committee. expects
to continue the boards study of he
adequacy of the municipal sewage
and water systems, and Chairman
Harry Blake of the Zoning Commit
tee expects that many exemptions
from existing zoning regulations will
be sought because of the defense
program.
While the activities of the Greater
National Capital Committee have
been curtailed as far as conventions
are concerned. the committee antici-
pates activities in related fields. It
has just established a clearing house
to care for persons coming here on
defense business and seeking hotel
rooms, and it plans to make the
usual arrangements for transient
housing during certain peak periods
of the year.
Other units facing busy years are
the Cultural Development Commit
tee, a newly organized group headed
/ by Lee D. Butler. and the Military
and Naval Affairs Committee headed
by Brig. Gen. Albert L. Cox.
