REPAIRS ON ONE BRIDGE IN DISTRICT ARE BEGUN Highway Guards at Calvert Span and Flooring at K Street First Work of Series. & A. B. BIELASKIL Construction of highway guards on the Calvert Street Bridge probably will be started this week. it was announced yesterday at the office of the superi lendent of bridges of the Dist Later guards will be placed on the Connecticut Avenue and Pennsylvania | Avenue Bridges The Commissioners have authorized an expenditure of $4.850 for the work $950 of which is for labor and $3,900 for materials. Work on the reconstruction of the | flooring of the K Street Bridge across Rock Creek is underway These repairs are in the form of four two-foot steel treads adepted to| commercial use from the more familtar | deck plates of large ships. The manu- facturer claims that through their use vibration is practically eliminated and the cost of future repairs reduced to a minimum. If these statements | are borne out by the K Street Bridge experiment, swhere a large part of the | vehicular traffic is mads up of heavy trucks, the plates will probably be | adopted for general use by the Dis-| triet.

HAIL OF LEAD KILLS ROADHOUSE OWNER Booze Gangsters or Vendetta Blamed for Chicago Sub- urban Murder. By the Associated Prems CHICAGO, July 23.—From the shadows of his own cafe, four blocks from a police station, booze gangsters or vendetta slayers late last night poured out a hail of lead that took the life of Philip Plazza, wealthy owner of two roadhouses in Chicago Heights, & suburb. The, killers, believed to have been four ¢r more, were in an automobile, and after firing a fusilade into the body of the cafe owner, who may have been marked for deatch as the result of two other slayings in the suburb, they disappeared in the dark- ness. Piazza was known to the police as the ruler of the underworld in Chicago Heights and was reported to be the pay-off man for scores of alcohol cookers. s It was in one of his cafes that pro- hibition agents several months ago discovered one of the largest stills on record, at the same time ing 10.000 gallons of alcohol and of wine. An audit of his books showed that had an anization of several Made-to-Measure $40 Suits, Now Made-to-Measure $50 Suits, Now $4.9.50 1,000 gallons, | hundred men on weekly salaries. On June 2 Mrs. Crystial Barrier and Giralmo Lamberta, the latter a wealthy jeweler of the suburb, were shot and killed and another woman wounded in the Derby Inn, a road- house owned by Plazza, and it was belleved that the bullets were in- tended for the cafe owner. While police were inclined to believe the “booze racket” lay behind the slay- ing, they were canvassing the possi- blfi!y that last night’s attack was in retaliftion for the killing of Lamberta on the theory that the jeweler's death was a doublecross engineered by PERPETUAL BUILDING ASSOCIATION PAYS 5% Compounded Semi-Annually Commencing January 1, 1926 Assets Over $12,000,000 | " Surplus, $1,000,000 Cor. 11th & E Sts.
