Sale of Western Market, Twenty
first and K streets NV, is being
considered by the District Commis-
sioners, 1t was revealed today.
While opposition is expected from
market dealers there and some resi-
dents OF the neighborhood it serves,
the Commissioners advanced two
reasons why they are considering
the move.
One Is that the Defense Homes
Corp. has been considering this 10
cation, among other downtown
areas, as the site for q large dor
mitory for male wartime Govern
ment workers.
The other reason is that while
the District, in recent years, has
spent $4,000 for improvement Of
the markets facilities, the business
Of the market has been on the de-
cline, and the District has been un-
able to rent and place In use many
Of its stalls.
Shortly after noon, Joseph Rice,
deputy administrator Of the Federal
Loan Agency. said that 50 far as he
knew the Federal Loan Agency was
no longer interested In Western
Market as . dormitory site, In view
Of plans adopted earlier for dormi-
tories for women Government work
ers at Sixteenth and Euclid streets
NV, and the more recent purchase
by the Government Of the Mclean
estate, Friendship, where other hous-
ing accommodation are planned.
Operated for - Years.
The idea had been that the De-
fense Homes Corp. was considering
the market location as . site for
mems dormitories.
Western Market has been oper-
ated for more than 70 years, and
for . major portion Of that time en-
joyed prosperity. However, George
M. Roberts, superintendent Of
weights, measures and markets for
the District, reported recently to the
Commissioners that the markets
business was still In . (1clins, de-

Senate Passage
Sends PARKING
Bill 10 House
Changes in District
Income Tex Law
Also Approved

The Of street automobile parking
bill, passed by the Senate yesterday,
is slated to 60 to the House District
Committee, which still has q SINH
lar measure under consideration.
A second bill passed by the Sen
ate, making minor adjustments in
the District income tax law, passed
the House last October but goes
back there for action on several
Senate changes. It is designed to
make the local law conform to the
Federal statute in exempting GER
tain organizations and non-profit
groups from the corporation tax
and substitutes an annual SO license
for the present $25 flling fee i'm
posed on corporations subject to the
income tax.
Land Purchase Approved.
The Senate also passed a bill,
which still requires House action,
authorizing the purchase by the
President Of approximately Is acres
of land north Of Arlington National
Cemetery for eventual enlargement
Of the cemetery. During the war,
however, it could be used for any
other governmental purpose.
Senator Burton, Republican, Of
Ohio told the Senate the on-street
parking bill is intended to give the
Commissioners the authority to
solve in . comprehensive way one
of the major problemS In the local
trafic situation.
The bill creates . seven-man
Motor Vehicle Parking Agency to
prepare for the Commissioners q
program for the acquisition and es-
tablishment Of fringe parking lots
outside the congested area, where
motorists could leave their cars and
proceed downtown by mass trans
rortation facilities.
Membership Outlined.
The parking agency would consist
of one representative Of the Federal
Works Agency, one from the Ma
tional Park Service, one from the
Department of Motor Vehicles and
Trafic and four bona fide District
residents to be chosen by the Com
missioners.
The agency also would have au-
thority to install more parking
meters at the curb and to fix rates
for the of-street parking lots.
These rates would be calculated TO
cover maintenance and the amor
tization Of the cost Of establishing
the lots but without seeking any
profit or surplus revenue for the
District.
Senator Burton, who became IA
mihaT With municipal trafnc prob
lens while Mayor Of Cleveland,
stressed the importance Of solving
the parking problem. He pointed
out that the recent 1-cent increase
In the local gasoline tax will, when
augmented by Federal funds, help
solve engineering phases Of the Dis
trict trafnc problem, while this bill
will provide . solution for an equally
important phase.
