Owners Of Vista
To Drop Coop Plans
# Rents Are Raised

Owners of Valley Vista, 157-
unit apartment building at Bel
mont road and Ashmead place
NV, will not offer the building
for resale on a cooperative basis
if they receive an adequate"
rent increase.
That was indicated yesterday by
David B. Karrick, president of the
Fidelity Storage Co., co-owner
with his brother, James L. Kar-
rick, jr.. of the apartment build
ing overlooking Rock Creek Park,
just east of Taft bridge.
A number of tenants yesterday
were disclosed to have signed a
petition circulated by the resident
manager, Mrs. Lucille Korsmo,
which expressed willingness of
signers to agree to a rent increase
on condition the owners would
not sell the building.
+ Mrs. Korsmo said that while
she circulated the petition she did
so without Mr.. Karrick's knowl-
edge. She referred further in
quiries to Henry Davis at the Fl
deity Storage Co.. who she said
was out of town. Fidelity Storage
Co. is rental agent for the build
ing. The Office was closed yester-
day afternoon.
Mr.. Karrick said he had been
considering" sale of the building
since he had received an "attrac-
tive" offer for it several months
ago. He said he did not like the
idea of cooperative sale. but that
he felt landlords are now getting
inadequate rents for real estate
and fear they won't get adequate
rents in the future"
The co-oWner said the petition
was circulated without his knowl-
edge. He added, however. that he
was sympathetic to the effort
and that he would not sell the
property If the rent control ad-
ministration granted Is per cent
rent boost, as proposed by the
petition.
He said the resident manager
informed him a substantial num-
ber" of tenants had signed the
petition, but that some indicated
they would not be willing to agree
to an increase exceeding 10 per
cent, while others noted they
would not agree to an increase OF
more than IS q month.

tyConsideriing
New Span Over
Anacostia River
Heavy Sc. Traffic
May Force Project
In Next Few Years

Another bridge may be built
across the Anacostia River at
Massachusetts, avenue Sc. within
the next few years, Engineer
Commissioner Gordon r. Young
disclosed last night, because of
the increasing traffic flow from
rapidly growing southeast Wash
ington.
A bridge spanning the Ana
costa at Massachusetts, avenue
has been in the tentative plans
of the District Highway Depart
ment for some time. Gen. Young
said, however. that the bad traffic
situation at Barney Circle-west-
ern terminus of the John Philip
Sousa Bridge at Pennsylvania
avenue S.E.-may force the Dis
trict to advance solution soon.
Three years ago, the late H. c.
Whitehurst, then highway dlrec-
tor, proposed alternate plans for
providing a channel to the down.
town section from the Southeast.
One plan, then estimated to cost
about 100000, would send the
streetcar terminal at Barney
Circle underground to eliminateI
the traffic bottleneck at the west
end of the Sousa Bridge.
Cost of Projects Rises.
The other plan. which in 1916
would have cost S4,500,000, pro-
vided for construction of another
Anacostia River bridge at Mass
achusetts avenue.
The cost of both projects has
greatly increased in the price
spiral of the last three years,
Gen. Young said. No new esti-
mate has been made but it is
certain that either project would
cost at least a third more If begun
today.
Gen. Young said a decision will
be made in June as to just how
the District should attack the
growing southeast traffic problem.
In June, the results of the Com
missioners' origin n-and-destination
traffic flow survey will be known.
The survey actually was COM
pleted last September but it will
take District traffic and highway
engineers until next June to study,
analyze and draw conclusions
from the statistics compiled.
The survey was undertaken
with cooperation of the Federal
Government and Maryland and
Virginia officials.
Would Pass Through Park.
Massachusetts, avenue at pres
ent ends on the west side of the
Anacostia River at the grounds
of Gallinger Hospital. and it re-
sumes on the east side beyond
Anacostia Park. The proposed
bridge would run through the
park and through the Gallinger
grounds, without coming close to
any hospital buildings, according
to District engineers.
Another reason why the Dis
trict is considering the bridge pro-
ject on an equal basis now with
the cheaper proposal to go un-
derground at Barney Circle is that
the northeast section of the city
also is expanding.
Another factor is the effect on
traffic of the incomplete South
Capitol street bridge.
Gen. Young stressed the fact
that widening of Benning road
after the streetcar tracks are re-
moved this year may affect the
traffic flow to downtown from
those portions of southeast and
northeast on the eastern side of
the Anacostia River.
He said it would be easier for
the District to plan major build
ing projects if the city were not
so dependent on Federal funds.

Faced with an ever-increasing
demand for books and begged
down program of expansion, the
Central Branch of the District
Public Library has taken a tip
from the self-service system OF
the modern grocery.
With the completion Of the first
phase of a reorganization program
tomorrow, about 10000 more
books, formerly in closed STACKS,
will be placed on open shelves
where readers can examine them
without first having to consult the
library's card-index file.
"It's the same principle you will
find in shopping centers," LII
brarian Harry N. Peterson ex-
planned. I'VE have found that
readers like to look over the books
before they make their choice. the
same way shoppers like to look
over breakfast cereals"
The principle of an open-shelf
arrangement for public libraries
has been adopted in many cities.
he said, to the advantage Of the
reader. Under the old card-index
system. many excellent books did
nothing but gather dust. Readers
were kept waiting for their books
longer, and the time of trained
staff members was taken up run
ming to and from the stacks.
Follows Trend.
Actually the latest reorganiza-
ton program is the elimination Of
a trend that has been going on at
the Central Branch for many
years. When the library was
first opened so years ago the pub
lie had access only to the fiction
and general reference collections.
Divisions on technology, sociology,
music, art and Washington have
been developed since. The re-
organization program has added
three more. on literature, busi-
ness and history.
Starting tomorrow. the stacks
at the Central Branch will be used
only for rarely asked-for or dupli-
cate books. The rest Of the COL
lection-which includes more
than one-half of the library sys-
TENS $4,000 volumes-will be
on open shelves.
Although they are proud OF this
reorganization to get the right
book to the right person at the
right time" library officials admit
that really adequate library serv-
ice can come only with the trans
fer of most of the activity of the
central branch to the new Ii
brary building at 499 Pennsyl-
vania avenue NV. The move has
been held up indefinitely because
of lack Of appropriations.
Among the factors that have
made the additional shelf space
possible is that the children's divi-
sion at central has been cut in
half. Library officials explain that
since 1921 the circulation of ju-
venile books has dropped from
l94,4 to 64,032.
NeighbOrhOod Has Changed.
The reason for this, the officials
say, is that the character of the
neighborhood has changed from
residential to commercial. and the
juvenile circulation has moved to
the branch libraries. In reorgan-
izing, a similar juggling of avail
able space has been made. based
on the demands Of the reading
public today.
All >the books at the central
branch now are arranged accord
ing to the division method with re-
lated subjects grouped under the
general classification.
The different divisions. their 10
cations and the subjects they
comprise Is as follows:
