trict Appropriations resumed hear
ings today on the 1912 supply bill
for the city after hearing a fiat
denial from Thomas E. Lodge, chair
man of the Alcoholic Beverage Con-
troll Board that an alcohol racket
exists here.
Behind closed doors. Mr.. Lodge is
understood to have told the subcom-
mittee late yesterday there is no
alcoholic racket" in Washington as
far as he knows. 1t was said. he
admitted, the sale and consumption
of beer, whisky and wine is on the
increase here, and that prices for
imported liquors are going up.
d. C. officials Heard.
Mr.. Lodge made the statement, it
was said, in response to a question
of a member of the subcommittee,
who wanted to know whether there
is racket" in connection with the
sale of alcoholic beverages in the
District.
The subcommittee, at its initial
hearing, took the testimony of a
number of District government off,
cials, including Commissioner John
Russell Young, who sketched the
local governments financial situa-
ton Brig. Gen. Kutz, who has just
succeeded Col. David McCoach as
the Engineer Commissioner, was
present at the hearing.
Weigh Gas Tax Increase.
The subcommittee, it is under
stood, took under consideration a
proposal that the local gasoline tax
be increased from to 4 cents a
gallon to finance the $4,000
highway improvement program re-
Gently recommended by Capt. H. C..
Whitehurst, director of highways
There was considerable discussion
also, it was said, over fire insurance
rates in the District. One member,
it was reported, urged a reduction

are lower than any place in the
country.

Representative Mahon, Democrat,
of Texas, is expected to complete
hearings on the 1912 budget esti-
mates in about a week. The esti-
mates call for appropriations total

0akmont Suit Seeks
To Establish Right Of
Local Street Control
Injunction Asked
Against GroveIine
Of Part of Avenue
"A. P. Photo.
B, a Staff Correspondent of The Star.

ROCKVILLE, Md, May 23.-An
injunction suit by the Oakmont
Citizens Committee, which seeks
to establish the right of local control
of that municipality over its streets,
was filed today in the Montgomery
County Circuit Court against the
Board of County Commissioners
The Citizens Committee, local
governing unit of the special taxing
area, seeks to enjoin Eugene Casey,
trading as the Casey Engineering
Co., from grading that portion of
Oakmont avenue lying within the
limits of the area. The suit also
asks that the commissioners be re-
quired to revoke a permit for this
work which was granted by w. w.
Payne, acting county engineer.
Mr.. Casey is a special aide to
President Roosevelt and serves as a
liaison officer between the White
House and Agriculture Department.
He lives at Gaithersburg, Md.
Defendants Allowed Time.
Judge Charles w. Woodward is
sued an order giving the defendants
until June to show cause why the
requests should not be granted.
The issue involved in the litigation
is one of jurisdiction-the Citizens
Committee contending that it must
first grant permission for such work
on publicly dedicated lands within
its taxing area. The county con-
tended. by its actions, that its engi-
neer has authority to grant permits
for such work without permission
of the taxing area.
The commissioners recently de-
clined the Oakmont Committees re-
quest that it revoke the permit after
Joseph A. Cantrel, counsel to the
commissioners, ruled they had such
authority.
Brookings Report Stressed.
During the controversy, the Oak
mont group has emphasized the re-
port of the Brookings Institution on
Montgomery County government,
which states in part:
If the administrative branches of
the county government were models
of economy and efficiency, free from
politics, much could be said in favor
of requiring the purchases of serv-
ices from the county, but such is not
the case. 1t would at this time
be unwise to adopt legislation re-
quiring the local units to buy all
services from the county, but the
county should strive to get the work
on a competitive basis"
