CAPT VHTEHORST TALKSON STREES Board of Trade Body Seeks to Prevent Repeated Pave- ment “Breaks.” ¢ A resolution seeking to reduce the Feveated tearing up of Washington streets by obtaining c-ordination be- tween the various agencies which get authority to tear them up was adopted by the streets and avenues committee of the Washington Board of Trade at § Jts first Fall meeting in the University Club yesterday afternoon. The resolution w adopted following Bn address by Capt. H. C. Whitehurst, Assistant Engincer Commissioner, in charge of streets and highways, in which he declared that the sequence of the program for street repairs by his cepartment during the present year had 5.“ “disrupted a dozen times by un- + @erground work.” One reason for this, Capt. Whitehurst declared, is that “per- :zl for cuts are too easy to get,” while inother is the lack of co-operation be- tween the various other agencies doing the underground work and his depart- ment. In the latter connection Capt. White- hurst cited instances where streets had 2 torn up for the installation of & w main or sewer within a day or so after (hl\; had been opened for traffic after wndergoing extensive surface re- pairs. “On one resurfaced street there were seven cuts made within a week after the street had been opened to traffic,” he said, adding: “We have got to do some- thing with the situation.” Capt. Whitehurst named the two ftreet car companies, two gas companies, the electric light company, Sewer De- partment, two telephone companies and the Water Department as among the agencies that have a right to obtain authority to dig into streets for their specific purposes. “There should be one responsible per- #on to co-ordinate work and dictate & sequence,” he said. At Work on Budget. Capt. Whitehurst stated his depart- ment has started on the work of sub- mitting items to the Bureau of the Bud- get for which to request appropriations for streets and highways in 1930, and that the program compares favorably ‘with that for 1929. Due to various in- terruptions in the program for this year, much of the work which would have been finished by December will extend over until next Spring, he said.

(Installations will be made in rotation as the orders are received)’ GAS is the fuel used in heating hundreds of homes in Washington today, and there are, no doubt, many home-owners :who have contemplated the in- stallation of GAS HEATING. In order to ecure as many installations as possible in time for the full enjoyment of the approaching heating season, we will from now until 5 p.m., Saturd: November 17th, 1928, make economically, the paving of all streets to_withstand maximum loads. ‘The maximum weight to be run over 8 given space of street at one time will soon be reached and taken care of by six-wheel trucks, which distribute the weight, he predictéd, but added that h fuess-work about the installation and operating (gas con- sumption) cost for GAS HEATING. In order that you may be able to visualize more clearly the COMPLETE COST for YOUR PARTICULAR HOME, we have made six classifications, or divisions, into which we have grouped homes of various sizes and exposures, based upon a given number what you eat; not of square feet of radiation. The six photographs are of Washington homes one person in & ¥ the bridges for carrying the heavy loads offer a “real problem.” Capt. Whitehurst spoke of various needs of his department and efforts to improve it. Within the Fnst year, he said, the department has functioned for the first time under-an inspection de- partment, operating under the direction of a chief inspector. The latter, he said, has held a school for inspectors to show them how and why certain specifi- cations have been changed, etc. The department also has established a cost department, he pointed out, to keep an accurate cost of various items. A survey of the condition of all paved streets in Was] on wi ‘& Te- port will be ready about December 1, * also was mentioned as another impor- tant development. Pavements Compare Favorably. “Wi ’s pavements do compare most _favorably with any I have seen anywhere in the country, and better than in many cities,” Capt. Whitehurst said. In line with the general suggestion of Capt. Whitehurst, the committee adopted a resolution seeking the desig- nation of certain streets for certain ¢ kinds of traffic, and adopted another resolution urging the appropriation of more fundg by Congress for experimental work by the highways department.
