County Heads Study
Proposal for Trash
Garbage Collection
Sanitary Commission
Reported Ready to Act
In Compact Areas

A proposal by the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission to
establish a trash and garbage col
lection system in certain areas of
Prince Georges County which are
now without such a service was
being studied today by the county
commissioners.
The board two weeks ago re-
quested the commission to present a
possible solution to the insanitary
conditions existing in several COM
munities in the county, caused by
the lack of trash and garbage COL
lection.
In a letter to the board, ]. Dom
aid Clagett.. member of the COM
mission, said the latter is willing tt
set up such service in the county
provided the areas to be served "are
of a sufficient size and compactness
to justify it."
He emphasized, however, that the
commission would not consider
merely serving sections in outlying
parts of the county which are
neither continuous or connected.
Authority Granted.
Authority to establish trash and
garbage collection in both Mont
gomery and Prince Georges County
was granted the commission at the
last session of the State Legislature
Mr.. Clagett pointed out that while
objections were made at that time
to having the commission serve
Prince Georges County, a demand
was made by. Montgomery County
officials to have such service estab-
hshed there.
In accordance with this demand,
he added, the commission plans to
set up a trash and garbage collec-
ton service In the Silver Spring
area October !. while a similar serv-
Ice will be put into effect in the
BethAeAa-Chevy Chase area as
soon aS equipment Is available.
Because of the shortage of equip
ment rs we'll az to the lack of man
power, howeveF,. collection service
could not be set up In Prince
Georges County for some time, Mr.
Clagett declared.
The board approved an amend
ment to the county taxicab regula-
tions lowering the minimum age of
cab drivers to 18. provided appli-
cants for taxicab licenses can prove
that they owned and operated cabs
in the county before August l. The
licenses are issued by County Chief
OF Police Arthur M. Hepburn.
Office Shift Approved
On recommendation of DR.. James
G. Sasscer. president of the County
Medical Society, the commissioners
approved resolution asking that
either DR.. John M. Byers, county
health officer, or DR.. Nelson Podol-
nick, assistant county health officer,
be stationed at the Upper Marl-
boro Court House. At present, both
DR.. Byers and DR.. Podolnick have
their offices in the County Service
Building, Hyattsville.
Authority was granted the sani-
tary commission to purchase for it's
sinking fund $4,000 worth OF az
per cent United States Treasury
bonds, maturing between 1864 and
1869.
The commission also was author
lied to sell 5000 worth of its series
Wv bonds, which fall due June /,
1910, and 100000 worth of its series
Wv bonds, due June /, 1878. The
proceeds will go into the commission

ID. {. War Fund
Sets IA Goal
Of S4,800,000
Campaign Will Be
Held in October,
Directors Announce

Inc goal OF the Community War
Fund campaign for the year 1914
will be s4,800,0O0, it was announced
today by E. C. Graham, general
chairman, who described it as the
largest goal lever set for a fund
raising drive in this area" Last
years goal was s4,O06,0OO.
Mr.. Graham said the goal was
adopted unanimously yesterday by
the board of directors. The cam
paign, which will take place in Oc-
tober, will take in more than 120
agencies, including social and health
groups serving the Washington area,
the United Service Organizations
and other agencies serving men and
women of the armed forces and re-
lief agencies aiding the Allies.
THE goal is large" Mr.. Graham
said, because of unprecedented
needs.
And yet" he added, "after hear
ing the opinions expressed at the
meeting of the board of directors,
am confident that the people of the
Washington area can and will dis
charge their responsibilities to those
at home, to our men and women in
the armed forces and to the Allies
of the United States in the present
conflict"
Volunteers Preparing.
Cole eman Jennings, campaign
chairman of the fund, pledged the
support of the volunteer workers
who will raise the money sought.
He said that 1--WE are already en-
Enthusiastically building the organiza-
ton which will carry, this appeal to
every citizen in this area"
William j. Flather, jr., chairman
OF the Committee on Admissions
and Budgets, who presented the pro-
posed amount to the board, ex-
planned it covered only the most i'm
portant needs for 1914.
THE amount adopted" he said,
represents only definite and spe-
ciflc needs. There were many items
not absolutely necessary in the i'm
mediate future which we're request
ed of the committee, but which
were refused in view of the tre-
mendous and unprecedented needs
for the coming year.
I'VE of the committee feel that
this amount represents the min
imum that is compatible with the
needs here at home and with Wash
ington's ability to meet it's share of
national and United Nations relief
needs"
Committee Heads Named.
Mr.. Jennings said the campaign
will take place earlier than War
Fund or Community Chest cam
paigns of past years. The change
was made necessary, it was said, be-
cause of the formation of the Ma
tional War Fund, which will promote
similar campaigns throughout the
country in October.
Mr.. Jennings, who said that the
enrolment of the $4,000 volunteers
needed is ahead of last year, re-
ported that the following campaign
leaders have already been enrolled:

sion; r. A. Van Orsdel, business and
