LTH PRODUCTS CORP. E‘x?}smn 13%h St Newark,N.J. = ENGUE provement Convention Get Graphic Idea of D. C. The civic and physical development of the District was graphically por- jtrayed today by local municipal ex- mem: speaking before delegates at- tending the annual convention of the American Society for Municipal Im. provements and the fifth annual as- phalt paving conference, at the May- flower Hotel, and by an exhibit pre- pared by officials of the Government and the District depicting the growth of the city and plans for the future. The L’Enfant plan and its exten- slons occupy a prominent position in the exhibit, which is open to the pub- lic, and furnishes an opportunity to visualize the manner in which the plans of the Washington of today have been made to harmonize with the visions of the city planners of yesterday. It was the center of at- traction for delegates. Maj. C. H. Brown, engineer of the National Capital Park and Planning Commission, told of the work of the commission, and Robert B. Morse, chief engineer of the “ashlnmcn Suburban Sanitary District, described the activitles in that district. Speakers from other cities related practical phases of development proj- ects in their communities, enabling all of the delegates to profit through an interchange of ideas. Both conventions will close their business sesslonsstomorrow and the delegates will rticipate in a golf tourney at the Congressional Country Club on Satul‘dfly $2,290 ALREADY PAID IN RED CROSS DRIVE Membership Roll Call Formally Be- gins Tomorrow—$40,000 Quota in Capital. More than $2,000 has been recetved by the District chapter of the Ameri- can Red Cross in Its tenth annual roll call, which begins officially tomor- row, Armistice day. These advance enrollments have come as the result of enrollment blanks sent out in monthly statements through the courtesy of Washington banks and public utilities agencies. The exact amount already in hand is $2,290.46. The quota for the District chapter Is $40,000 this vear and chapter of- ficals are confident that this amount will be raised by Thanksgiving day. At the roll call headquarters, 1405 F Brig. Gen. John A. Johmmn. expressed the opinion that itizens would respond generously and put the Red Cross over the top this year. Gen. Johnston called attention to the fact that in New York and other cities firms, banks and other business institutions orsanized for the Red Cross roil call by appointing one of their personnel to make the establish- ments 100 per cent Red Cross, and suggested that Washintgon firms do the same thing. Full information of these intensive roll calls will be given at headquarters, and also the litera- ture and blanws with which to enroll the personnel. Through the courtes¥ and co-opera- tion of the chief clerks the Govern- ment departments have been organized for the roll call and a large return 1s expected from them. S SUTER ASKS EDGEW0OD CITIZENS TO AID DRIVE The Edgewood Citizens' Assoctation held its regular monthly meeting last night in the Lincoln Road M. E. Church, Lincoln road and U streets uter, former president, and 3 delegate of the Federation of Citizens' ciations, addressed the meeting. Mr. Suter urged that all members of the association endeavor to obtain additional members during the period of the membership cam- paten. | Mr. Hall's address dealt with the importance of citizens' associations in general, in respect to civic problem and in this connection stressed the im' portance of each association looking to the improvement of the city whole, rather than to the welfare of its own immediate community. The association voted to secure pla- cards and engage a band to advertise the membership campaign drive in their section.

Leading engineers and directors of public works from practically all the large cities in the United States, as- sembled here for the annual sesslons of the American Society for Muni- cipal Improvements and the Asphalt Paving Conference at the Mayflower Hotel, seem agreed that Congress is pursuing a niggardly policy of false economy In withholding sufficient ap- propriations to put the streets of Washington in first rate repalr. Washington is gaining an un- deserved reputation throughout the country for the poor condition of its streets, some of these men contendea, while the fault rests wholly with Congress_through its neglect. That Washington has always been looked on as a guide and, standard for engineers in asphalt work, was the opinion expressed by Col. R. Keith Compton, director of public works ip Richmond, Va., who is re- garded as one of the foremost author- ities on streets in the country. “Any criticism of Washington's streets now is wholly undeserved,” said Col. Compton. “Visitors leave Washing- ton with the impression that the streets here are not kept up as they shouid be. Through no fault of its own, the -standard of Washington's streets has fallen considerably in re- cent years, due to the failure of Con- gress to provide for proper main- tenance. Paving 30 Years Old. “Visitors do not realize that 800,- 000 square yards of public paving here is more than 30 years old, 10 years beyond the avemage life of paving.” Prevost Hubbard, formerly in charge of the division of testing and research of the United States Bureau of Public Roads, was another who found fault with the policy of Con- gress in failing to expend sufficient funds for the maintenance of streets here. “Inadequate appropriations for maintenance is the cause of the bad condition of Washington’s paved streets, not the quality of the paving used,” said Mr. Hubbard. The peo- ple of the country, he believed, take a pride in Washington as the Capital of the Country and are not sym! thetic with a policy that holds back the proper development of the city. “Cutting appropriations for main- tenance of stredis,” both he and Col. Compton agreed, dangerous policy. Each year main- tenance is deferred the paving de- | teriorates beyond the original cost of repair.” Congress would actually | be economizing more, they point out, it it granted the full appropriation sought by Engineer Commissioner J. Franklin Bell and rushed repair work | in accordance with that program. Pionéer Finds Fault. Col. Thomas Hugh' Boorman of Glen Ridge, N. J., one of the pioneer paving experts in the country, who laid the first pavement in Washing- | ton 52 years ago on Pennsylvana | avenue, was out cism of Congress for economizing at the expense of street paving here. “It is a sin and a_shame that Con- gress has permitted these streets to get in their present bad condition,” Col. Boorman sald. “The material used here is as good as one can find anywhere, but no street can stand the wear and tear of 30 years of traf- fic.

Reid, commissioner of public works, was emphatic in stating that the public generally wanted Washington the best paved city in the country, as it is today the most_beautiful. “The impressions ~that _visitors carry away from a city are most im- portant,” Mr. Reld said. “Foreigners, especially, come to the United States to vis Washington, and it is es- sent'al that they take back with them the best impressions possible. From what I know of conditions here, Con- gress is not as generous in the mat- ter of streets as other municipalities are, with a result that Washington is the sufferer.” He declared that Detroit is spending $12,000,000 this year for street repairs alone, this sum not including* the paving of new | streets, John B. Hittell, chief engineer of | streets for Chicago, who has taken a keen interest in Col. Bell's plans for the widening and betterment of | Washington's highways, declared em- phatically that ‘“stinginess on the part of Congress” in the maintenance |of the city’s streets, alone was re- sponsible for thelr condition.
