N.W, Y | conclusion of the dithe { Lights, Bridge Repairs, Attention to Schools Recommendations looking to provement of the Capital city contatned in annual reports of com- { mittees made last night at the annual {meeting of the Washington Board of {Trade in the red room of the New {Willard Hotel. The reports wer: jadoptea for the most part without de- bate, and they showed that the com- had been working diligently. F. Colladay presided eeting, which is just one ses. n of the annual meeting. At the reports the board im- were recessed until Frid ct that the ballroom was needed for the Medical Association con tion. At that time ten ai be elected, several more reports will be received and Julius H. Barnes, president of the Chamber of Com- merce of the United States, w Mr. Colladay also announced that the names of Col. Robert N. Harper and William H. Saunders had been withdrawn from the list of candidates for directors. Praise Onc-Way Streets. Several of the reports called attention to the effectiveness of the one-way streets, and urged their continuance, while the report of the traffic commit- made recommendations for several additional ones. Presenting the report of the commit- itee on pubiic order, which was adopted by the board without debate, Odell S. Smith, chairman, reviewed the condi- tions in_the police department. His figures showed that only a smail per- centage were for criminal violations. The committee recommended the fol- lowing: “More men, a larger quota, and more men to fill the quota. On October 1, we {had 100,6000 licensed automobiles ‘and only sixty men whose special duty it is to supervise their movement," the report said. “New York clty, about twelve times our size, has 1,200 or more men in their traffic bureau. We are now short forty men to flll our aliotted quota. “A readjustment of pay. The $240 bonus is scon to be a thing of the past, and when it is we hope the new pay will be at least the present basis pay plus the bonus, so that the men will Te- ceive at least the same wage they now are receiving. The inspector and cap- tain now receive the same pay, $2,400 per year, and the $240 bonus.' A dis- tinction in salary should be made, plac- ing the inspector slightly higher than the captain. Urge New Headquarters. “A new central police headquarters near the District building to house the executive offices of the depart- ment, the first precinct station, the detective bureau, the traffic bureau, the woman's bureau, the police school and storeroom. In planning the con- struction thought should "be given for natural growth and for the physical and mental needs of the men. As the main entrance of this most needed home for the depart- ment, we should hope, if allowed to do so, to erect with moneys in hand in the police memorial fund or more to be secured an enduring impressive memorial and reminder of the noble men of the department who have given their lives in the line of duty for their beloved city. “Licensing all dancing establish- ments and all instructors in dancing, so that at all public exhibitions or 5o called balls or dances the police may be able to supervise. “Revision of sections 855 and 857 of the Code of Laws for the District of Columbia, restraining the sale and possession of deadly and dangerous Wweapons. Better Lights Needed. “Better lighted city. Quoting the major, ‘A well lighted area, alley or street at once affords the police officer a ready inspection and aids in maintaining order and in preventing crime’ It may be added in all truth it will prevent many automobile ac- cidents which now occur. “Guides who solicit employment in the city should be licensed, after their applications have been approved by the police department. It has not been infrequent that visitors have been annoyed and imposed upon by those who represented themselves as ‘authorized guides' or officlal guides, and produced a badge, homemade or purchased.” Calling attention to the great need of repair and in some cases of entire replacement of bridges in the Dis- trict on_the main thoroughfares, George W. Offutt, chairman -of the committee on bridges, urged that the Chain bridge should’ be given first attention. He sald that it ordinarily takes from the initial effort of citi- zens to the final completion of such a project at least eight or ten years, so that_whatever iy considered by 'the the board and whatever determina- tion is reached by it should be made with this in view. Repair of Bridges. The report, which was adopted without debate, contained the follow- ing recommendations: For use in the preliminary work on the replacement of the Chain bridge, not less than $7,500. | 2 night, owing to | ctors will | Advocated. i he | improvement and replaccment of Pennsvivania Avenue bridge, not less | than § | For replacement of the flooring of o~ Penns Avenue bridge, a suitable sum to provide for onally laid floor. | That Congress appropriate a s |cient sum to place in_the Be | bridge a draw of the kind £o { permit pa of the dredges | complete reclamation work upon the | Anacostia river. | hat an appropriation be made to! | provide for pre ary _work in_the replacement of the Klingle Ford | urtame, That a suitable sum be appropriat- | ed to commence building of the Ar-j | lington Memorial bridg For repairs and | minor bridges not le: fii- | ntenance of than $30,000. Reclamation Delayed. i Speaking of the draw project in the | | Benning bridge, the committee calls ! | attention to the point that the rec-| lamation of the Anacostia flats above ' the bridge cannot be undertaken bi jcause dredges cannot be taken there. {It points out that there are many | stagnant pools there which are un-| healthful. The report of the public utilitfes committer, which was presented by | Francis G. Addison, a member of the | committee, recommended that the| board should take whatever action it can to assist in bringing about a mer- £er of the street railway companies. This committes also recommended | that the board undertake to have pro- vided a new and heavier hridge across the Anacostla river and Penn- sylvania avenuec in order that street car exteasions may be undertaken. A recommendation for a law re- quiring owners of automobiles for commercial purposes to take out bonds to protect persons who might be injured by such machines was stricken out on the motion of Fred G. Coldren. The committee recom- mended that the board approve the endeavors of the District Commis sioners to abolish all main line cros: ings in the District and that appro- priate steps be taken to that end. Report on Schools. Many recommendations for the bet- terment of the public schools wers contained in the report of the com- mittee on public schools, read by Paul E. Lesh, chalrman, and adopted in its entirety. The report said that “if those in charge of the requests for appropriations and the making of appropriations must curtafl the ex- penditure of public funds below the demonstrated needs of the communi- ty that curtailment should not be made in respect of the appropriations for school buildings and equipment nor the appropriations for the pay of school teacRer: The recommendations of the com- mittee follow: Indorse in principle the five-year building program of the school au- thorities. Indorse the proposal to provide for a comprehensive act amending the act of June 30, 1906, giving adequate and permanent salaries to the per- sonnel of the public schools. Authorize the president of the board to appoint two delegates annually to the District of Columbia Public School Association, to report to the board through the committee on public! schools. | Indorse the proposed compulsory education act which was before the last Congress. Commend the work being done by the Americanization School. The committee report said: *There is no department or community effort the neglect of which brings a more certain and calamitous consequence than the neglect of the public schools. The injury dome by neglect in no other department is more directly in- flicted upon the individual citizen or more irreparable. There will be no later opportunity to serve this gen- eration of school children. They must be given their birthright now, while they are children, or the opportunity is lost, and they will be compelled to- morrow to assume the responsibilities of adult life mentally crippled by the lack of sufficient preparation or in some cases positively injured by ex- posure to physically harmful sur- roundings provided under the name of that cherished American institu- tion, the public school.” Questions of Trame. The report of the industrial inter- ests committee, presented by E. J. Murphy, chairman, referring to the one-way streets, sald, in part: “We stand back of the District Commis- sioners in their regulation regarding one-way streets, belleving same to be a necessity, and feeling that they should be glven a thorough trial be- | fore suggesting any further changes at this time.” The committee said that it had | 100ked into complaints that the gov- ernment cafeterias were selling com- modities in addition to their regular cafeteria trade.. The committee felt, ! according to the report, that but very little, if any, actual business was di- verted from local merchants through | tkese channels. i The committee also felt that the ! time was not opportune for taking any action on the pending bill provid- ing for government fuel yards in the District. . Likewise the committee did not see fit to take any action on the bill permitting officers and employes COMPANY Pboss Msis ¢33, For uas ia areliminary work in the’ of the District and federal govern- carriere of clasy 4, at Rome; the re ignation of Consul Dillard B.

The committee on charities report- ed, through its chairman, Frank P. leeside, that it believed the time i opportune for taking up the co; munity chest plan of looking after charities. The comn ee approved the general plan for allowances for mothers for dependent children. This report was adopted also. Health Care in Schools. Increase in the number of dentists, i physicians and nurses in the public the a re schools was recommended by committee on public health, port presented by Dr. D. Percy Hick. ling. It urged the addition of twen- ty-four physiclans, sixteen dentists and sixteen nurses.'in order that chll- dren may be examined at least once a year. " It also recommended that provision be made for payment for the care and treatment of patients admitted to the Gallinger Hospital as well as the Tuberculosis Hospital, and also that the wards for the care of minor contagious diseases at the Gal- linger Hospital be completed as soon as_possible. Recommendations _also included those for a tuberculosis dispensary and clinic for early diagnosis of non- hospital cases, and Increased facili- ties for the prevention of venereal disease It also recommended that provisions be made for the education and medical care of children under twelve years of age in the District who are suffering from tuberculosis. The report was adopted, without amendment. Frederick A, Fenning, chairman of the special committee on military and naval affairs, reported that members of the board had given lectures on finance during the vear to officers of the finance department of the Army. Ho recommended also that the com- mittee be abolished, but his recom- mendation was rejected. Otherwise the report was approved. George Plitt, chairman of the com- mittee on membership, reported that the membership of the board to date was 2.468. New members elected dur- ing the year numbered 271, and the board lost by death, 29; by resigna- tion, 63, and 170 were dropped from the ‘rolls. Fred S. Coldren of the committee on parks presented the report of the United States Chamber of Commerce referendum on forestry, reporting in favor of eight of the projects, and this report was approved by the entire board.

Thel resolution, offered by C. C. Lancaster, points out that the definite propor- tion system has worked out Success- fully in the District. Opposition to the proposed bond issue also was contained in the fol- lowing resolution: | "“We vigorously oppose any bond {issuo_of twenty millions, more or {lems, by the Congress of the United States for public improvements in! the District of Columbia unless the! congress provide that said bond: shall be paid on the 60-40 appro- priation_pian, as now authorized by law, and that the disbursements for | said improvements shall be definitely | stated for each locality or section of | | the District and the taxpayers of this District have been fully advised| thereof before the bonds are issued.
