Mayor Orders Report
On Proposed Rule at
September 9 Session.

Alexandria officials are consid-
er;ng proposed ordinance to re-
|quire annual inspection of high
pressure steam boilers as a result
of the explosion Wednesday which
wrecked a section Of the Abingdon
apartments.
Mayor Marshall J. Beverley dis
closed he has asked Ira F. Willard,
city manager, to report on the
feasibility of such a law at the
next meeting of the city council,
|September 8.
He said Mr.. Willard will confer
with the city building inspector,
A. r. Lash. and Fire Marshal John
|E. Posey. If Mr.. willard recon-
|mends the law, Mr.. Beverley said,
he will ask the City Attorneys
office to prepare an ordinance.
Five Are Injured.
Five persons were injured, none
of them seriously, when a violent
explosion wrecked six apartment
units and severely damaged nine
others. One Of the injured, Mrs.
Hazel White, is still in Alexandria
Hospital. but she is recovering.
Yesterday residents of the nine
units less seriously damaged were
told by Mr.. Lash that they will not
be permitted in their apartments
until certain structural repairs are
made.
Meanwhile, the Arrow Wreck
ing Co. of the District has begun
removing rubble and is expected
to shore up sagging walls and
floors so investigators may search
for the cause Of the blast.
Walls Are Dangerous.
Two representatives of the
State fire marshal's Office, Ralph
Ellis and Harold Glascock, were
unable to enter the boiler room
where the blast originated, when
they were at the scene yesterday
MIR. Lash said investigators will
probably not be able to conduct
a thorough inquiry until Tuesday
He said sagging floors, ceilings
and walls could give way at any
time. The wrecking company will
repair these defects sufficiently
to enable investigators to search
the ruins, he said.
Mr.. Posey said a partial view
OF the boiler room through twisted
wreckage indicates that one OF
the three steel heating boilers had
ripped apart and may be the
cause Of the blast. This boiler
was heated by coal, he said. An
|other Of the three was converted
from coal to oil the day before
the blast.
Mayor Beverley said he re-
|quested that consideration be
given to the question of requiring
that a qualified engineer be en-
|ployed by apartment developments
to supervise steam boilers.

Area Cleaning
Saves On Time

Ever tidy up the house in hurry
when company was coming on
short notice?
If you have, you probably used
one of the easiest and most eff
Gent methods of house cleaning,
says Grace M. Ryan, home manage
ment specialist for the Agricultural
Extension Service at the University
of Arizona.
This method has been expanded
by home economists to save time
and energy in regular fall, winter,
spring and summer house clean
ings. Called "area cleaning" this
handler method is thorough and
effective, takes less moving of fur
niture, saves steps and makes the
room easier to re-arrange after
cleaning.
Instead of cleaning all the floor
space in one operation or dusting
all surfaces and items in the room
at once, "area cleaning" calls for
doing the room in areas based on
furniture groupings, By moving
furniture pieces only enough to do
all the busting, vacuuming and pol
ishing in one area at one time, you
can avoid moving all the furniture
to the center of the room, having
to work around it and then putting
it all back.
Having all equipment handy to
do the complete cleaning job in one
area at one time and handling each
cleaning tool only once in an area
also eliminates running back and
forth everytime you need broom,
brushes, dust cloth or polish.

felt, whose husband, White
House policeman, was killed dur
ing the attempted assassination

Lincoln was there, it is related
that "a suggestion was offered by
some one that the President be
