COOLIDGE 0.K.S BUDGET PROJECTS Supplemental Estimates of $1,674,000 Are Included in | ' Measure Given House. ___(Continued From First Page.) persons, the Budget Bureau reports. For street and road improvement and reair, $205.000. For many years the store yards and | #hops of the Highway Department have been located on United States territory in the center parking of Canal street, l between Second street west and South Capitol street. This property was | transferred to the director of the Bolanic Garden. The Botanic Garden development requires ‘the early removal | of the Highway Department shops to another location. The purpose of this | estimate is to provide for removal of | these shops to the Bryant street pump- ing station and to make certain other desirable economical arrangements for servicing, repairing end housing auto- mobiles. It is proposed to consolidate the shops of the Highway Department with those of the Water Department at the Bryant street pumping station. In or- der to accomplish this, provide for the repair of the highway's department automobiles at the District automobile repair of the Highway Department’s pumping station and provide housing for those automoblies, the estimates in- clude $40,000 for an addition to the District automobile repair shop: $135,.- 000 for a new garage and $30,000 for shop construction and removal of equipment to the new location. The ad- ditional construction will be on land already owned by the Government. ‘Would Move Garage. It is contemplated that the garage @nd shops of the Trees and Parking Department, in buildings and on the grounds of the Gallinger Municipal Hospital, shall be moved to the Bryant street pumping station. For repairs to Anacostia River Bridge $120,000 is carried. This bridge was bullt in 1908 and consists of six steel arch spans and a draw span. The road- way, 35 feet wide, with 2-foot sidewalks, carries two street car tracks. The asphalt surface of the floor has rolled so that in places the curb height is reduced to one inch. This is a very inadequate protection to vehicular t-affic and the railing is not of suffi- cient strength to safely withstand the impact of modern traffic. The entire floor system is in need of replacement at a lower level to provide an increased hetxm of curb. buildings and grounds for the pubnc schools, $255,000 is _included. When the estimates of the District of Columbia for the fiscal year 1930 were under consideration, it was proposed that an addition be constructed at the Park View School to relieve crowd- ed conditions and also to provide a pla- toon type of school organization. This plan contemplated the closing of a considerable part of Otis place nerth- west, but objection having been made by the property owners affected, no ac- tion was taken pending a further study of the matter. A plan has now been prepared which will provide for the construction of the necessary additions | curb does not amount to as much as 1| ]where Mr. Rockefeller is a dominant |defeat the deflant Indiana chairman, | whose testimony before the Senate | Teapot Dome oil investigating commit- THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, D. C. THURSDAY, JANUARY 17, 1929. ' ROCKEFELLER VICTORY | IN STEWART FIGHT DECLARED CERTAIN| (Continued From First Page.) | with Mr. Rockefeller, although they ad- | mire the showing as a successful oil ex- ecutive of the:Rockefeller opponent, Col. Robert W. Stewart, chairman of the company’s board. It was pointed out that the daily turnover of Standard shares on the per_eent of the stock outstanding. The main factors in deciding the ntroversy, which is one of the most celebrated to come out of business circles in recent years, will be the per- sons who hold from 25,000 to 40,000 ! shares of Standard of Indiana stock. Most of these stockholders will vote for Mr. Rockefeller, the New York Herald Tribune was informed. Other outstanding factors in the con- test will be the large blocks of stock | held by the Harkness, Flagler and | Rogers estates. Then will come the bulk holdings of individuals in other Standard Oils such as Standard of New York and Standard of New Jersey, figure. Thls latter class of stock has re- mained in these same hands, it is! understood, since the break-up of Standard Ofl in 1911 and the declara- tion by Indiana in 1912 of its famous | 2,900 per cent stock dividend. Opposed to these holdings, Col. Stewart is assured of only one large block of stock, that held by the em- ployes of the company and purchased on an employes’ stock plan. It was conceded that Col. Stewart will have | with him most of the small stock- holders, of which there are approxi- mately 58,000. The floating supply of the | company's stock is relatively small. The Herald Tribune's informant dis- counted reports in Wall Street that Mr. Rockefeller might not bring his full strength to bear against Col. Stewart. On the contrary, the full Rockefeller financial force will be mustered to tee displeased Mr. Rockefeller. Stockholders of record February 5 will be entitled to vote at the meeting following the custom of the company to clos2 the transfer books a month in advance.
