dreWs, pastry man. George JUDY,
cake baker and decorator, is in
neral directors.
Mrs. Louise M. Stoiber, Putin
Bay cafe operator, expressed the
opinion that the island would be
completely cut off from the world
all winter, if it we're denied
freight service by air from the
mainland" adding, eff anything
would happen to halt our present
air service, we and many of our
friends would not stay here"
Not Partial To Erie Co.
President of the Put-in-Bay
Chamberof Commerce. John Mis-
sen, boat liveryman, was positive
in his statement that business men
of his town "are not partial to
Sandusky, and furthermore, we
like the people of Port Clinton
and enjoy doing business with
them"
Nissen elucidated further. de-
claring, without the big planes
Hersberger runs, out winter firsh-
ing would be ruined, and Port
Clinton would lose heavily from
loss of fishing party revenue, be-
cause nearly all of the parties COM
ing here stay over night in Port
Clinton
He recalled that when San
dusky got all of our business no
body was happily served and none
of us enjoyed the Inconvenience
of transportation there"
The Chamber of Commerce head
concluded his remarks with the
statement 1--WE in Put-in-Bay feel
that we are more or less part OF
the Port Clinton community
City Is Gateway
Walter Smith, taxicab service
operator. declared Port Clinton to
be the gateway to the Erie Vaca-
tionland, land any move to divert
traffic to Sandusky, will natural
ly move the gateway to that
city. We do not want to do our
business in Erie county. We be-
long in Ottawa county, and we
certainly hope that Ottawa coun-
tians will come to our aid on this
airport issue"
Smith declared, Everybody in
Port Clinton ought to know that
we totally depend on the Hersber-
ger air service--nobody would
want to ride the little cubs which
l understand would be in use
otherwise"
He estimated that from $50 to
500 pounds of fishing gear are
carried by the freight planes TOR
each four sportsmen who ride to
Put-in-Bay, and pointed out that
thousands of sportsmen would be
deprived of the joys to be found
in Put-in-Bay waters, if the pres"
ent line is handicapped by un-
tried competition.
Smith stressed, too, the tremen-
dous economic value OF the freight
service to the people of the Island,
in shipping out fish and bringing
in fresh fruits, milk and bread.
The Port Clinton city council
two weeks ago received inquiries
| from representative of the San
| dusky Airport regarding posslbll-
| ity of obtaining lease rights to
| facilities at the airport which
| would be operated in conjunction
with the Sandusky installation, II
airport rights were made avail
| able.
The petition was tabled for
further study by local officials.
Air service between Port Gin
ton and Put-in-Bay has been main
tanned on a year-around basis by
Island Tours, operated by Milton
Hersberger, of Put-in-Bay, for z
years.
City officials have declined to
predict what final action will be
taken on the question of the
airport bidding, which will be
considered next week.

Job|ess Checks
Drop 100000
Here in Year
Low Unemployment
Attributed to Defense;
Trust Fund Rises

Unem p loyment compensation
checks for the fiscal year 1851.
which ended June 80. dropped
more than 10000 below the num-
Der for the previous year to to-
tai of 128,055, the District Unem-
ployment Compensation Board
disclosed yesterday.
Because of the Korean situa-
ton. this was a year of low un-
employment" the board stated in
making these comparisons:
Number Of first payments-17,-
818 in fiscal 1850 and 1884 in ifs
cal 1851; number of checks-231.-
486 in fiscal 1850 and 128,055 in
fiscal 1851. and amount of checks
|-$4,117,84 in fiscal 1850 and ST.
287 POT in fiscal 1851.
Fund Balance Increases.
The report said the balance in
the Unemployment Trust Fund as
of June 80 was $48,067, 103.68, or
nearly So million larger than the
$45 .122, 161 "a balance at the end
of fiscal 1850.
The board has recommended
steps to increase benefits under
the law to bring them in line with
current wages and the increased
cost of living. At present, the
benefits vary from Sc to $40 a
week for a maximum of 20 weeks.
The District Unemployment
Compensation Act provides for a
pooled fund from which benefits
are paid to unemployed persons
who are covered by the act and
are unable to find suitable work.

Covers Whole Section.
The District government was
consulted and Corporation Coun-
sci Vernon West advised that
limiting the law to buildings 100
years old would be discrimina-
tory and that District records
could not be depended on to fix
the age of old Georgetown build
ings. So it was made to apply
to all of Georgetown.
The bill was introduced in Con-
gress by Representative James w.
Wadsworth, Republican, of New
York, a Georgetown resident.
Hearings were held and there were
no opponents. Grosvenor Chap
man, an architect who lives in
Georgetown in a modern house
of his own design, tried to get

and old areas of Georgetown. In
stead the House committee broad

break one by knocking a baseball
through it. it would cost less to
replace 1t.
He said that the issue would
seem a small one to most people
but the board considered it very
important in carrying out the
expressed purpose of the law.
Most people would not notice the
difference from the street, he
granted. but the trained eye of
an architect would Immediately
detect what was wrong.
The Commissioners rejected the
advice of the architects in this
instance and told the building
inspector to let Miss Gibbs &c

By GEORGE Kennedy

Decade after decade the well-to-
do citizens of Georgetown have
built houses in the fashion of their
day.
Much of the charm of this old
est community within the District
has been it's variety of architecture
its eclecticism (Which means
choose your own style. The Vic
torian houses built in the 80s on
@ street known as Cookies Row"
are as much Georgetown as the
Old Stone House on M street.
But all this is halted by the
workings of the Old Georgetown
Law.
In effect since last September
%, the law provides that all plans
for new construction or altera-
tons of buildings in Georgetown
be submitted to a board of three
architects. The architects have
been approving only those designs
consistent with the Colonial or
Federal periods.
A modern house such as Ambas-
sador Stanley Woodward has just
completed on N street would not be
approved under the present dis
icipline. And a charming eccen-
tricity such as Miss Genevieve B.
Wimsatt's conversion of a row
house on Twenty eighth street into
"a pagoda with Chinese lions guard
ing the door would be absolutely
out.
Architects Experience.
The workings of the old George
town law. enacted with support
of Georgetown citizen groups. were
brought to public attention by the
recent experience of Miss Rather
inc Gibbs.
Miss Gibbs, an architect, was
told to remove the window frames
from the house she is building for
herself on Dumbarton street. A
woman neighbor had noticed that
they were of the sliding sash rath-
err than of the sash weight variety.
Miss Gibbs took her case before
the Commissioners. Newspaper ac-
counts of the hearing noted Miss
Gibbs plea for windows that were
easy to wash. A denomination
of what went on, shows that the
principal issue was not one OF
utility but of appearance.
Miss Gibbs was not asking to
install plate-glass picture WIN
dow. She had designed long
opening on the second floor and
divided it into three window
frames. There were to be 10 panes
in each frame, Is inches wide and
II inches high.
Economic Argument Offered.
The three-man board of archi-
tects, created by the Old George.
town law, wanted her to have the
long dimension of the window!
vertical instead of horizontal.
| Walter Macomber, chairman Of
the board. pointed out that yer.
tical panes are traditional in the
old architecture and that horizon
tai panes are modern departure

Arlington Schedules
S2-Mi|Iion Bond Sale

Sale of a $26 million bond
issue for sewer improvements, de-
layed by an unsettled market,
now is scheduled by the Arlington
County Board for August 3.
Henderson Miller, bond counsel
for the county, yesterday recon-
mended the August date He
added, however, that no request
for bids on the bonds will be made
until July 26, two days after the
county is to receive bids on the
work to be done with the bond
funds.
The bond issue was approved
by the voters last November to
enlarge the sewage treatment
plant, improve pumping facilities
and build additional trunk sew
erS.
Mr.. Miller said that sale of a
large offering of Federal housing
bonds next Tuesday will be test
of the market. The purchase
price of these bonds, he said, may
indicate whether the county
should proceed with the sewer
bond sale and whether the School
Board should sell it's bond issue of
$4,S75,000.
The board voted to join the
City. of Alexandria in opposing a
proposal to freeze additional use
of natural gas for house-heating
purposes.
Three county officials were de-
signated to appear before the
State Corporation Commission at
a hearing on the proposed re-
strictions. The hearing will be
held September Is at Richmond.
Named to make the trip were
County Manager A. T. Lundberg,
commemorative Attorney Dem
man T. Rucker,- and G.. j. Glass
man, executive secretary to the
County Planning Commission.
The board scheduled a confer
ence with the County Planning
Commission for 7:30 pm. Wednes-
day. The commission has been
asked by the board to prepare a
81 million bond proposal to i'm
prove storm drainage and for
other purposes.
