IreIan Defends Action
On Playground Disorders

United States Attorney Charles
M. Irelan in a letter to the Wash
ington Bar Association has de-
Tended his action in invoking the
unlawful entry statute to combat
playground disorders.
The bar association, an organ
ization of Negro lawyers, had crit
icized Mr.. Irlan for invoking the
statute. They had charged in a
letter that Mr.. Irelan's action was
an effort to enforce segregation in
the District.
The prosecutor had announced
he would use the unlawful entry
statute to prosecute any one re-
gardless of race who entered pub
lie property without authority OF
who refused to leave,on demand.
Announcement of the plan to
use the statute followed a dis
turbance at the Rosedale Play
ground recently in which a colored
man was accused of firing shots
in the direction of the play area.
In his letter to the colored law
yers' group yesterday, Mr.. Irelan
said in part:
"It would appear that your
grievance is not properly directed
to the Interpretation Of the statute,
but rather to the orders for regu-
lation which provide as to those
who may use the property"

Bids on Chlorinafion
Plant Studied in Step
To Clean Up Potomac

Steps were being taken today
to begin the third phase of the
Districts plan to improve the
Potomac River in the Washing
ton area.
District sewer officials were
studying bids received yesterday
for the construction Of a chlori-
nation plant at the Districts
sewage disposal plant at Blue
Plains.
Harold A. Kemp, director of
sanitary engineering, said the low
bid of $266,260 for the construc-
ton of the proposed plant was
entered by the Charles H. Tomp-
kins Co., Of Washington.
May be Ready in 1858.
He said equipment for the plant,
to cost $95,36S, already is under
contract. He said the contract
for the plant probably will be let
next week, and that the project
should be in use within the next
year.
Mr.. Kemp said the Tompkins
bid was $97 900 more than the
engineers estimate made last
July 81.
He explained that the chlori-
nation plant will serve two main
purposes. 1t will dispel odors at
the disposal plant and will dis
Infect the flow from the plant
Into the Potomac River.
He emphasized the Importance
!of this last purpose. pointing out
that the disinfectant will lessen
the danger of contracting dis
eases from the river.
+. Menace Seen in Summer.
It has been stressed in the past
that the river in the Metropoli-
tan Area may become a health
menace during the summer. The
|chlorination plant will be used
during the six or seven warm
months of the year.
Sanitary officials, early this
week, received a bid for $1,616. 1913
for the construction Of a sewage
sludge drying plant-the second
phase of the Districts long-range
pollution abatement plan.
Next on the program will be
the construction of secondary
treatment facilities. This phase
lis expected to be completed by
1850.
