tional petitions pending studies be-
ing made on master Zoning plan.
A large delegation of Lyon Village

the applications, one of which was
approved. The zoning boards rec
concentrations are sent to the coun-
ty board for final action.

area. Attorney Alfred Hilton rep
resented the applicants.
Request Approved.
The one approved was the re-
quest of George and Mary R. Rob-
ertson to change three lots in the
1400 block of North Fillmore street
from residential "B" to general

tions. the zoning board needed
the request of county officials for
a delay until the sites involved can
be examined by Jacob l.. Crane,
MidweStern zoning authority who
was recently retained as consult
ant to prepare master zoning
plan.
The board approved two other
petitions which the county sought
to postpone for Mr.. Cranes ex-
animation. They were the re-
quest of katherine T. Carmichael
to rezone a tract in the 1000 block
of Wilson boulevard from residen-
tial A to local business and the
request of Fenton M. Fadeley to re-
zone another tract in the same
block from residential B to local
business.
The board also granted permis-
sion to Lucy G.. Bussey to resub-
divide a lot in the 5000 block of
North Fourth street into three lots
in exception to provisions of the
coming ordinance.

.Capper Backs
Plan for New
Aged Home
Support of Request
For Funds Pledged by
Senator After Visit

The support Of Senator Capper.
Republican, Of Kansas today was
behind the move for a deficiency ap-
preparation to construct a new Home
for the Aged and Infirm to replace
the present structure at Blue Plains
Senator Capper visited the insti-
tuition yesterday, and, after inspect
ing conditions which the District
Commissioners had described as zap
palling," said:
There doesn't seem to be much
that can be done with this old place
1t would cost no more to build a new
institution than it would to put this
one in shape. I certainly would
support an appropriation to con-
struct a new home"
The Commissioners have been pre-
pairing estimates on the cost of
new home and it is understood
request will be made to Congress for
a deficiency appropriation.
Camalier Checks on Changes.
r. F. Camalier, counsel for the
Senate District Committee, accom-
panied Senator Capper on the tour
of Blue Plains. Mr.. Camalier went
to inspect improvements made at
the home at the direction of the
Commissioners since their visit last
week
There was evidence that many
walls in the place had been washed
and some painted. Cracks in the
ceilings were being filled up Broken
dishes and worn-out table ware were
being replaced
There has been a great deal of
Improvement said Mr.. Camalier.
They've made good start on the
job of cleaning this place up and
the Commissioners deserve credit"
The Commissioners have ordered
more than $1,000 of District funds
expended to make small improve
ments at Blue Plains Immediately
They have ordered w. P. A. workers
to do some small jobs in cleaning
up the establishment, which was the
work that Mr.. Camalier and Senator
Capper saw yesterday.

Officials Of the establishment told
Senator Capper that they had been
getting only $4,000 a year to i'm
prove the place. which sum was
not enough even to pay for painting.
The result has been that it is so run
down now that it would cost as
much to fix it up as it would to
build a new place.
The kitchen has been fixed up
since the Commissioners visit and
the baker was proclaiming yester-
day that he was starting "a new
program"
I've been here for 13 years. bak-
ing white bread" he told Senator
Capper. Il couldn't get the ingre-
dents for anything else. But now
they tell me I can make cornbread a

bread, too. I'm going to make a
barrel of cookies for the old folks
every week end"

Fire Chief Plans
Projections for
Use in Air Raids
Present Resources
Would Be Needed,
Borgogni Believes

A plan under which bathtubs
garden hose, scrub pals, Easements
and even an abandoned gold mine
would be used for fighting fires, in
cendiary bombs and withstandine
the effects of air raids was dis
closed today by Fire Chief A. J
Bargagni of the Bethesda Fire De-
partment.
While more than score of paid
and volunteer departments in the
nearby Maryland and Virginia area
were awaiting instructions on how
their enrolment and training pro-
gram will be co-ordinated with that
of the District, Chief Bargagni has
been surveying the Bethesda dis
trict for local resources which might
be put to good use should the
Washington area undergo a bombing
raid.
The chiefs point is that civilian
defense groups will not be able to
order thousands of pals for sand
to extinguish incendiary bombs, or
build hundreds of cement reser-
voirs to store water in anticipation
of broken water mains First, there
Is the cost; more important is the
need for metal and cement for &C.
fense production. Consequently,
whatever is at hand will have to do.
Survey Reveals Resources.
A survey of his fire tax area, for
example, shows available:
One abandoned gold mine shaft,
somewhat caved in but usable with
a little digging (perhaps by the new
volunteers soon to be enrolled as
an air raid shelter for nearby resi-
dents.
One railroad cut about 20 feet
deep, running under Wisconsin ave-
nue., which if damned at both ends
would hold from 100000 to TO-
600, 900 gallons of water, more than
enough to handle fires in the Be-
thesda business district.
Thousands of watertight base
ments, leaky ones being automatic
ally eliminated, which could be
flooded on the approach of danger,
converting them into small-scale
reservoirs for supplying water for
small neighborhood fires if the water
mains were blown up. Bathtubs
could be used for the same purpose.
Suggests Sand Be Handy.
Tens of thousands of scrub pals,
trash cans, flower boxes or almost
any type of c0ntainer to hold sand,
and hundreds of thousands of feet
of garden hose to augment the
standard fire hose in getting water
to the flames. There should be a
bucket of sand and length of hose
on every front porch in Bethesda
ready for instant use, the chief be-
Geves.
The point the chief thinks should
be stressed is that citizens are going
to use whatever facilities are at
hand for many of the purposes now
being outlined in the new civilian
defense program in order to save
materials and time.
Other fire chiefs In the nearby
area are thinking over instructions
received recently on training for the
new fire defense corps.
The concensus seems to be that
the volunteers will not have to learn
how to slide down poles into a pair
of waiting boots, but that they will
be trained in how to fight fires
scientifically and operate the equip
ment needed in the process, such as
pumps, ladders and chemicals and
hose.

In an address before the Hale

estimated the State treasury would
have a surplus of about $8,350,000
at the end of 1941, due in part to
a greater income because of ex-

He said the State should act be-
cause of "the tremendous increase
in taxation by the Federal Govern
ment, with exemptions so low that
practically nobody in Maryland will
be relieved of paying direct taxes"
