Joining forces with the Fairfax County | Chamber of Commerce and the Fairfax? County Board of Supervisors in an | effort to have the dangerous curve at | Gum Springs disposed of, the City Council voted yesterday at its meeting | in the City Hall to petition the State Highway Commission o take immediate steps to remove the curve. The council also voted to appeal-to the highway commission to eliminate | the curves on S Hill and convert that stretch into a straightaway. Both the Gum Springs and Snake Hill curves are located on the Richmond-Washin: ton Highway, between Alexandria Fort Humphreys, Scenes of Accidents. Both curves have been the scene of | many serious accidents, a number of which have proved fatal, and are re- garded as serious menace to automo- bilists. The highway commission promised last Spring to have the curve at Gum Springs removed but so far no action has been taken. H. G. Shirley, | chairman of the Statc Highway Com- mission, has promised that the matter will be taken up at the nextmeeting | of the road body, which is set for | December. An ordinance prohibiting loafing_or loitering in the streets, alleys and other public places in the city was adopted by ! the council. The or des that any one violating its terms will be subjected to arrest on a misdemeanor | charge and fined not less than $5 nor | more than $100, or imprisoned in the | city jail for not more than 30 days or both, leaving the punishment to the discretion of the court. Permit Denied. An application filed*by Miss Rebceca Klipstemn for permission to erect a cor- | rugated iron storage house in the rear | of 808 King street was denied, the| council denying the permit on the grourds that the building would con- stitute a fire hazard.

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. Octo- ber 4,—Owners of the 13,000 auto- mobiles in Prince Georges County were vestercay urged to pay their automobile taxes before November i5 if they would secure their next year license plates promptly, by County Treasurer R. Ernest Smith. The treasurer has been advised that the commissioner of motor vehicles will send him the applica- tions for new tags within the next few weeks. These will be checked with the treasurer’s books and all who have paid .their taxes will have their applications perforated. This will make it possible for the tax- payer merely to mail his application back to the commissioner after signing it. Those who have not paid however, will have to bring the ap- plication to Marlboro to have the “paid” perforation impressed. The commissioner expects to start sending out the 1930 tags on De- cember 2. They will be green and white, the treasurer has been told.
