Cannon Firm in Stand
Against Use Of D. {.
Highway Laboratory

Chairman Cannon of the House
Appropriations Committee yester-
day stood pat on his 12-year oppo-
sition to operation of the Districts S
100000 highway testing laboratory
He suggested the sale, instead of
the reopening, of the plant at Second
and Bryant streets NV. as an an
swer to protests that the forced
closing of the unit had put added
costs on District taxpayers.
Mr.. Cannon was invited to COM
ment on the series of stories in The
Star which showed that having ma
terials tested at the Bureau of
Standards since 1888 has cost the
District $148,631 more than the esti-
mated cost at the Districts own
plant.
Praises Bureaus Record.
"The Bureau of Standards" he
said, sis the highest and most emf
nent authority on such subjects in
the whole world, not only in the
United States. It's decisions are au-
thoritative and beyond any question.
Furthermore, its overhead already
is provided for, whereas there would
be. added costs for overhead if the
Districts laboratory were to be re-
opened"
He asserted the District need not
have paid a cent" for the tests OF
highway materials at the Bureau OF
Standards, and repeated his former
contention-denied by District Of
ficials - that such charges were
made "only at the insistence" OF
District officials.
Mr.. Cannon recalled he had sug-
gested sale of the highway testing
laboratory at the time Congress
adopted the ban on use of District
funds to operate its own testing
plant.
Coffee for Selling Plant.
Meanwhile, Representative Coffee
Democrat, of Washington, chairman
of the District subcommittee of the
House Appropriations Committee
indicated the 1916 District supply
bill once again would carry the ban
on operation of the plant.
Mr.. Coffee recommended the Dis
trict sell the plant and if it did not
now have such authority that it
seek the necessary legislation.
