The bill does provide, he said, that the photostatic plan be adopted when the new ‘building is provided. Mr. Havenner also pointed out that the new system proposed in the bill will effect a number of economies and save the writing of approximately 100,000,000 words annually with a re- sultant reduction in the fees for re- , cordi Councilman SNOW REMOVAL STUDIED.

A special meeting of citizens in the Bethesda and Chevy Chase areas of Montgomery County adjoining the District of Columbia met last night at the Bethesda School, the meeting hav- ing been called by the Bethesda Cham- of Commerce to discuss the gen- eral question of a form of government for the seventh election district. George P. Sacks, a member of - the chamber’s committee investigating the question, presided over the meet- ing, which was cenducted under the sponsorship but not by the Montgom- ery County Civic Federation. ‘Walter R. Tuckerman proposed a resolution that a committee be named to canvass the situation and report on a single form of government for the whole area. This was opposed by William W. Rride as tying the hands of the committee in its general inves- tigation and report as to the desirable thing to do. Oliver Owen Kuhn pro- posed that the whole matter be left with the civic federation committee, which already was conducting investi- gations of the whole subject in the areas affected, and that by so doing the question could be sifted satisfac- torily and the maze ot conflicting problems that must be confronted be molded into definite form without snap judgment. He proposed that each community be granted hearings, that the real sentiment of all com- munities be determined. Mr. Kuhn's plan was rejected, but the Chamber of Commerce delegates later passed a resolution, on motion of Fred Page, for the appointment of a committee to sound out sentiment in various localities and then make a report for the whole district. Mr. Tuckerman's resolution, which, it was argued, would tie the hands of the committee as to form of government, failed by virtue of the adoption of the Page plan. The Chamber of Commerce com- mittee will be named by Mr. Sacks at once to begin its work. George H. Lamar, James Lewis Fieser, Harold C. Smith and several others also spoke. The meeting was attended by about 50 residents of the county. =R DR Av near ‘s population has increased 000 through immigration in 13, the last three months. ,%corrsm r/rolccof excluyce Washinglon® )f M-E- SWING@ ol W P 1015 € STREET festivities.
