Roosevelt Boulevard.
The commission met in-
formally with Hyman Tues
day and discussed tentative
ly plans for the huge devel-
opment. Hyman's plans met
with enthusiasm from the
commission, b u t further
talks will be held to iron
out exact details of the
proposal.
Next step in the negotiations viii
be the consideration of alease now
being drafted.
Ready To Start
Hyman told the commisson that
ne is prepared to begin work i'm
mediately on the marine which will
be patterned closely after the fam
ed Bahia Mar development in Fort
Lauderdale.
The city, however, is asking for
some strigent provisions in the
lease to protect the interests of the
city.
Among the concessions the city
Is asking are provisions that work
must start by given date and that
the leased property and all i'm.
provements would revert to the
city if it ever ceases to be used
as a yacht basin.
The commission has looked with
favor on Hyman's proposal, indi-
eating that they would prefer to
have the blight developed with pri-
vate capital, rather than spend tax
money on the project.
chsrterboafmen Approve
The proposal to lease the Blight
has the approval of local charter
boatmen who would be offered free
dock. space, according to Hymar.
Hyman, who has had a survey
made of the Blight, said that the
first development = costing $225
= would be a dock and a series
OF finger piers accommodating 100
yachts, at least six stores and SER
vice establishments for yachts, q
huge sea-food restaurant, rooms for
yachtsmen who may want to spend
a night ashore and parking space
for $50 automobiles.
The special meeting with the
commission is expected to be held
Tuesday.

Rudolph Jose, II, Salesman
In Capital for Many Years

Rudolph Jose, who was born
to sell things and used to peddle
one-cylinder Cadillacs to Wash
ington officials, died yesterday at
84O1 Irvington avenue, Bethesda.
He lived there with his daughter,
Mrs. Margaret Cook.
MI. Jose was II, but he still
was salesman. For the last
% years he had been an insur-
ance agent for the District
Agency Co.
In his younger days Mr.. Jose
was a bicycle racer here and at
one time had a bike shop on
Fourteenth street NV. When
he thought automobiles were
going to be the thing of the flu
ture he started selling what he
called "one-lunger" Cadillacs.
To aid his sales he drove cars
up the steps of the Capitol to
show their ruggedness. And to
make bystanders take notice he
sometimes damned on his brakes
so hard on Pennsylvania avenue
that he would find himself
headed in the direction from
which he had come.
He was with Cook e. Stoddard
Cadillac Co., and when Mr.. Stod-
dard died he took over the bust
ness. The name was changed to
Washington Cadillac Co., 1888
Connecticut avenue NV. Mr..
Jose sold cars to Herbert Hoover
when he was Secretary of Com
merce: supplied cars for the in
auguration parades and sold cars
to the White House in the
Coolidge and Wilson admins
trations.
Mr.. Jose was president of the
Washington Automotive Trade
Association in 1919 and 1921 and
was in charge of the early auto
mobile shows held here at the
Washington Auditorium, which
he helped build. along with 80
other businessmen.
He had been vice president of
the National Automobile Deal
ers' Association and a member
of the Society of Automotive
Engineers.
A leader in the Washington
Civilian Club, Mr.. Jose was a
charter member, the second
president, and at the time of his
death secretary of the club.
When he suffered a stroke about
five years ago, Mr.. Jose was
highly annoyed, mostly because
it kept him from attending the
weekly club meeting and broke
his 14-year perfect attendance
record. his family said.
It was Mr.. Jose's idea to Or
game the Civitan Boys Garden
Club here. Each Saturday for
many years he helped teach 100
underprivileged boys how to
grow gardens. The boys could
take home what they grew.
Mr.. Jose was a charter mem
