Special Dispatch to The Star. RIVERDALE, Md., February 28.— Burton A. Ford of College Park, a member of the Prince Georges County delegation in the House of Delegates, will lay before the delegation when the Legislature resumes {its sessions to- morrow a petition signed by more than 200 taxpayers, opposing the proposed bond issue of $§100,000 for permanent street improvements here. —The peti- tioners, who visited Mr. Ford Satur- day Aight,“explained that they were not against good roads, but thought that action' should be deferred until the next sessionof the Legislature, with the citizens in the meanwhile giving extensive study to the best way of securing the improvements. Recently a_mass-meeting of citizens here indorsed a bill, which if passed by the Legislature would give the mayor ‘and town council authority to issue $100,000 bonds for paving streets. The improvements under the terms of this bill would be paid for by the property-owners in 15 years. Several weeks ago a proposal to bond the town for $100,000 for permanent road improvements, the costs to be paid by the property-owners in three years, was defeated at an election here along with a number of other proposals. A number of Washington avenue prop- erty-owners here are requesting the Legislature to give the twon authority to issue bonds for the paving of tha the property-owners to bear the cost of the improvements. e 100 Below on Mars. Even if we should find a way to get over to Mars, we couldn’t go—at least not until we had rigged up some sort of an electric sult that would take heat with us, says the Popular Science Magazine. For landing on that in- hospitable shore, we should freeze more solid than feicles, owing to the extreme severity of the climate. . W. B. Coblentz of the Bureau andards, using extraordinarily instruments of his own inven- oncluded that 100 degrees below zero is just ordinary tempera- ture in our frigid neighbor's clime. |Almost every night in Winter, he says, it goes down to 70 degrees Centigrade, or 158 degrees Fahrenheit. Dr. Coblentz made many of his measurements in Arizona last August, when Mars was in an unusually close position to the earth. SoLon New Lynchburg Pastor. Special Dispatch to The Star.

School Bonds Proposed. ‘Within the next few days a bill, it is understood, will be introduced in th Legislature by the Montgomery Count S | delegation authorizing the Montgomery County commissioners to issue bonds considerably in excess of $400,000 for public school purposes in the county, The amount of money to be thus raised will not be sufficient to make possible everything in the way of new school buildings, enlargement and modern- izing of old ones, equipment, etc., de- sired by the County Board of Edu tion, but will enable the educational board to provide the most urgent needs by putting through the greater part of the buflding and equipment program it had planned. A scramble is said to be on for the position of bailiff of the Circuit Court for the county, made vacant by the death last week of Thomas C. Keys, who held the place a number of years. Judge Robert B. Peter will make the appointment and is expected to do so before the opening of the March term of court, on Monday, March 21, To Increase Police Force. If a bill introduced in the Legisla- ture last week becomes a law, as is thought certain, the Montgomery County police force will be increased from 9 to 20 men and will consist of a chief, 2 lieutenants and 17 privates, instead of a chief and 8 privates, as at present. Its enactment will make possible the proper manning of the police stations it is planned to establish at Bethesda and Silver Spring. A troop of Girl Scouts has been organized at Poolesville with 12 mem- bers. Mrs. Arthur G. Elgin is cap- tain, Miss Mary M. Clagett, secretary, and Miss Betty Brewer, treasurer. A bill introduced in the State Sen- ate by Senator Eugene Jones of this sounty authorizes the county com- missioners to appropriate $500 a_year toward the support of each of the volunteer fire departments of the county. The departments are located at Kensington, Bethesda, Silver Spring, Takoma Park, Rockville, Chevy Chase and Sandy Spring. Candidate for Legislature . Special Dispatch to The Star.
