CLOSE-NO HEAT
Lowell Officials Prepared
to Evacuate Many House,
holders Tonight

Boston, Jan. % - (UP0 -- Two
Medford schools closad because Ut
the fuel oil shortage today and city
officials In Lowell prepared to evac-
uate householders who might be
without heat by tonight.
Acting Mayor Joseph ]. Sweeney
Of Lowell said there wasn't enough
oil to last through the day In Lowell
and ordered evacuation plans made.
He appealed to State and Federal
authorities for more fuel.
U. s. Representative Edith Nourse
R., Mass, said in Washington that
she has asked the Army to take
over distribution of oil in New Eng
land to relieve the critical situation.
Robert L. Minkler, Of the petro-
leum administration for war told q
senate investigating committee that
the PAW has licked the east coast
oil problem" and drew from Mass
achusetts Emergency Fuel Conser-
vator Thomas F. Sullivan the
charge that "the only one who's
been licked is the consumer"
Sullivan said the heating oil prob
lem is bad and the kerosene situa-
ton is "spotty" at best.
F. l.. Higginson, director OF sup
plies for the Massachusetts, Public
Safety Committee, said today that
the fuel oil situation in New Eng
land will be much worse next year
than now unless immediate action Is
taken.
"As see it," Higginson told the
45th annual meeting of the MasSa-
chusetts Forts and Park Association,
"the Job before us now is to take
care of next winter. There is no
likelihood at all Of our having
enough Oil"
He said the breakdown Of tank
and coal cars was becoming SER
ious problem as they have been the
areas main source Of supply since
the stoppage of water trafflc.
1.-TWO weeks ago I urged the six
New England governors to begin
soon to call for the building Of adj
ditional tank cars and coal cars for
the coming year." he said. "If this
Is not done. you may be quite GER
tain that the state Of affairs next
winter will be materially worse"
than at present.
He said that the daily average
importation now Is about o52 tank
caFs-64 per cent Of what was used
In the mild year Of 1881 or only two
thirds Of what was budgetted for
1919.
Higginson also estimated that It
viii be necessary 10 bring 10 New
England next year between 20O00.-
600 and 2sO00.O00 tons Of bitupin-
ous coal and AZ least 100000 tons

Homes to Open Doors or Yesteryear

An interesting climax to Easter

as well as to the regular devotees
Of tours through beautiful old
Southern homes will be the op-
portunity to visit the historic
residences and old houses in
Alexandria which will be opened
to the. public next Saturday for
the benefit tour conducted un-
der the auspices of the Woman's
Auxiliary of st. Paul's Episcopal
Church.
Several of the homes which
will be open to visitors are of
authentic historic fame, while
others which. have no. particular
history except that they were
built near the end of the 18th or
in the early years Of the 10Th
Century, represent. exquisite as
well as quaint patterns OF in
terror architecture characteristic
of their era.
The home of Miss Nancy
Tackett at :211. South st. Asaph
street is one of the unusually in
teresting houses which will be
open for the tour and is the only
one on the list in which the pres
ent occupants have lived for sew
eral generations.
The house represents the sec.
lond architectural period of the
town, having been built In 1900
and combining many Of the
earlier Colonial features with the
advanced style that marked the

Jones at 7O8 Wolfe street belongs
to the 18th Century period and
is built of clapboard over brick.
1t was owned and lived in by the
Lynch family for some years prior
to possession by its present occu-
pant and is still in it's original
condition except that baths and
heating equipment have been
added. The old springhouse
and meathouse still stand in the
back yard.
One of the attractive resi-
dences that have recently under
gone restoration is the house at
120 South Lee street which was
bought by Judge and Mrs. Thur
man Arnold about a year ago.
Most Of the original woodwork
remains in the house and in re-

by a member of the Janney FAM
lily and became historic during
} the War Between the States when
1t was occupied by Federal Judge
Underwood while the Union
forces held the town. 1t was dur
ing that period that plans were
formulated for carving out the
State of West Virginia, and the
home of Judge Underwood was
the scene of many conferences
on the subject.
Among the houses which have
undergone many changes since
the time of its original owners
Is the residence at GOT Oronoco
street which was built by the Lee
family and is now occupied by
the Librarian of Congress and
Mrs. Archibald MacLeish.
The house was purchased and
restored q few years ago by the
Director of the Bureau Of Mines
and Mrs. Royd r. Sayers, who
reluctantly sold it to Father
Joseph Code. It was purchased
recently by its present occupants,
who have made further improve
ments and furnished it with fine
old pieces. Gen. Robert E. Lee,
one Of Virginia's famous military
heroes, spent a number Of his
childhood years In the house, and
during its occupancy by the Lee
family it was the scene of many
gay social functions.
