Mason Acts 10 Speed
Filling Of Vacancies
In D. {. Institutions

Commissioner Guy Mason has
scheduled a conference today with
DR.. George c. Ruhland, District
health officer, and Ray Huff, direc-
tor of public welfare, to discuss
speeding up" of appointments in
vacant positions in city hospitals and
! Iother institutions.
A step towards cutting red tape in
making appointments was taken yes
terday when the Civil Service Com
mission sent Mrs. Leila H. Blocker,
recruiting representative, to the Dis
trict Building to study applicants
for positions.
Mr.. Mason said that the Civil
Service Commission representative
could save from two days to three
weeks in filling positions 1t was
pointed out that the Civil Service
agent can telephone to the commits
sion Office to check the commission
files on eligible applicants, a step
which eliminates sending inquiries
through the mail. 1t was explained
that appointments cannot be made
without first checking the commits
sion records, even though names of
other applicants may be on hand
with the District government.
Mr.. Mason said that the practice
.of sending a representative of the
commission to the District Building
was stopped "at the worst possible
time" The purpose of today's con-
ference will be to see what the Dis
trict "can do on its own end" to
speed up appointments, Mr.. Mason
added.
At the present time. Mr.. Mason

ty has been requested by the Virginia

appears that some fares over the
highways in the State of Virginia
are questioned"
Stating that the commission will
appreciate information on the uues-
tions involved, Mr.. Hooker said the
commission Should have netice of
any such proposal, as the State of
Virginia would certainly be in
terested"
The rate hearings were called
after number of persons, including
Secretary of War Stimson, charged
tnat fares were excessive.
Secretary Stimson said that fares
to the Federal buildings from the
District on some lines are as much
as ~ cents one way. He said the

den on employees.

The Commissioners approved an
ordinance permitting the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad to erect tempo
! rary barracks in Lakeland to house
approximately so colored laborers.
The housing project will be built on
four lots owned by M. Cardone.
The railroad originally had
planned to erect the barracks in

objected.

before the Commissioners yesterday
| and offered to move the housing
project provided the board passed
an ordinance permitting the B. g. o.
to do so.
A request by Fred w. Tuemmler.
planning director of the Maryland

ers approve plans for the improve
ment OF Thirty eighth street from
Jefferson avenue in Hyattsville to
Rhode Island avenue and Bunker
Hill road in Brentwood was denied
The Commissioners pointed out
that while its Advisory Board has
recommended approval of the plans,
the board did not indicate where the
necessary funds could be obtained.
A total of $4,000 has been allocated
for the project. but additional funds
are needed, the Commissioners ex-
planned.
The Commissioners took under
consideration another request by Mr..
Tuemmler for the purchase of land
at Queens chapel road and Eastern
avenue
Mr.. Tuemmler pointed out that If
the land is acquired now. work on
construction of an improved inter-
section could start Immediately after
the war.
The commissioners explained,
however, that only $4,000 has been
allocated for the entire project, and
that practically this entire sum
would be needed to purchase the nee
essary land. leaving nothing for con-
struction costs.
