SUBURBAN TOWN FUND WASTE CHARGED IN SPEEC Potomac Official Accuses Council of Failure to Make Improvements. EBpecial Dispatch to The Star. POTOMAC, Va., March 7.—Charging | Potomac officials with the unnecessary waste of money, Councilman W. E. Kid- well in a flery statement at the town council meeting held in the town hall last night threatened to fight to have the town's charter dissolved unless some action is taken by the council. Criticizing the large amount of bills presented the council for payment as exorbitant, Kidwell charged that the people’s money is being wasted and that no permanent improvements are | being made and that the taxpayers are deriving no benefit from the taxes they now pay into the town coffers. Now Favor Annexation, “I have never seen Potomac in the shape it now is in,” he exclaimed. “We are living in a mudhole and something has got to be done about it. Potomac is making no progress. It is time for the citizens to get up in arms and de- mand action. The people have elected me to take care of their interests and I am going to do it.” “I have fought hard to prevent an- nexation,” Kidwell continued, *“but if I had it to go over with I would say ‘Alexandria get me.’ If Alexandria loses the annexation suit now in progress I intend to fight to dispose of the town's charter.” In his statement Kidwell charged the Potomac Police Department with laxity. He also pointed out what he termed to be excessive consumption of gasoline by the fire department. Taking exception to Kidwell's address, Councilman H. A. Hampton, chairman of the council's finance committee, charged Kidwell with being “rash and cxcessive in his statements,” and said that Kidwell's assertions are not based on_facts. Mayor Walter B. Fulton said that within the past 60 days $2,000 of the town's indebtedness has been retired, the first reduction in the town's debt during the period he has resided here, he said. Fuiton said that regarding Kidwell's comments on the police department, he | favored regular hours for all town em- | ployes and that a night policeman should be employed to provide proper relief for Town Police Sergt. A. F. Dris- coll, who has been on duty 24 hours each day without relief since the regu- lar night officer was takeh ill. : “It seems that Mr:Kidwell has come here with fire in his eyes to worry me," Police Sergt. Driscoll said when given permission to answer the charges of laxity made against his department by Kidwell. “I have been on_duty continuously since the special officer was taken ill, and, besides, have been in charge of the collection of taxes and the issuing of town automobile licenses, as well as street and sewer work.” McHugh Takes Issue. ‘T. W. McHugh, president of the Po- tomac Citizens’ Association, said he would be willing to pay taxes for 50 years to maintain the charter, and then addressing Councilman Kidwell asked, “You ask what benefit Potomac is deriv- ing from its town taxes, will you explain what benefit we are getting from the taxes we pay to Arlington County?"” Kidwell replied that the county re- cently purchased a modern fire engine for the Potomac Fire Department. McHugh retaliated by asserting that local firemen respond to more alarms in that area ofsthe pougty adjacent to Potomac than within the town. { ‘The answer expected from the Mount | Ida Citizens’ Corporation regarding the | council’s recent offer to give the corpor- ation a portion of the town's right-of- way to Four-Mile Run for the construc- tion of a sanitary sewer was not received and Mayor Fulton was instructed to proceed with a suit pending in the Ar- lington County Circuit Court to obtain relief from the alleged health menace unless some definite word regarding the offer is obtained today.

A WILMER Member of Grand Inquest Says Lawyer Seeks to Cover -Up Guilt. 1929, Special Dispatch to The Star. ANNAFPOLIS, Md., March 7.—J. Al- | lison Wilmer, member of the grand in- | quest and minority floor leader. in the | House of Delegates, opened his own | session before the committee, sitting | with the Nelligan commission yester- day, with an attack on the latter body’s conduct of its investigation of the State roads scandal, accusing it of seek- ing to cover, rather than uncover, guilt. Wilmer loosed a scathing attack on Edwin J. Baetfer, counsel and member | of the Nelligan body, for his conduet in | examination of Thomas A. Butler, con- victed roads employe, during his fes-| timony last week. The legislator charged | that rather than seeking to substantiate the roads commission, Baetjer had sought to break down the charges and prove Butler a perjurer. | Baetjer Makes Reply. | Wilmer also charged that false and| vicious testimony had been introduced to discredit Butler. Baetjer answered Wilmer, declaring that the Nelligan body had sought to find facts and to break down unfounded charges as well as place blame where blame was due. ‘Testimony given by Clarence B. Wil- liams, building contractor, in regard to the erection of the operation houses on | River Bridge. closed the | 3, | session. Williams testified that he had | .| been ordered by the commission to start work before the bridge spans were | | in place, and when there was nothing | but water to build on.

Hits Crain Contract. Before Williams testified, Wilmer at- tacked the letting of the contract for the last section of Crain highway, which was also built by the Christhilf & Ensey contracting firm. Baetjer later produced pictures of the State Road Commission, dated March 28 1924, showing piers on the Severn Bridge, ready for construction of the operating houses when the contractor resumed the stand. It was on this date that Williams testified no piers were in-place on which to #start work. Another picture, dated May 9, 1924, showed apparently the same view with the operating house partially complete. George B. Lynch. a mechanic of Charles County, testified that H. S. Swan, Charles County contractor had em- ployed him to recondition a tractor which he said Swan told him had been given to him by the State Road Com- mission. ‘This tractor was said by Mr. Wilmer to have been part of the surplus war material turned over to the State Roads Cominission.

NEWS.® ® 17 ABATTOR PLAN WILL BE PUSHED Company Announces It Will Publish Legal Notice Tomorrow. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT- HOUSE, Va., March 7.—Any idea that the N. Auth Provision Co. of Washing- ton might abandon its effort to ob- tin a permit for the erection of an abattoir on Columbia Pike near Relee Station was dispelled today when it was announced by its attorneys, Carl A. Marshall and Jesse, McCarthy, Phil- lips & Klinge, that the published notice of its intention will appear in this week's issue of an Arlington County weekly newspaper. The application for the permit was to have been made on February 28, ac- cording to a previous published notice, but the attorneys informed the Board of County Supervisors that the notice had not definitely defined the location of the property, and that it was, there- fore, not, a legal publication. It was thought by many that, since the question was brought up by the at- torneys for the company, there might b; a movement on foot to abandon the plan. It is the claim of opponents of the plant that it would decrease real estate values and offend the thousands of tourists who would yearly pass within a few hundred feet of the plant. Offi- clals of the company say t, because of its modern construction, the plant would be odorless. While most of the organizations fought the idea of the erection of an abattoir anywhere in the county, some took the viewpoint that no action be taken until after the coun- ty has been zoned. —e ‘The Milton Fund at Harvard main- tains 37 research projects. =l Making a Room Doubly Useful By proper furnishing one room will serve as a smart living room;and then can be easily converted into a comfortable bedroom.
