U RELEF LD WL TOTAL 10 Subsistence Garden Sites Will Exceed Number Last Year by 300. = - The District's sbsistench gatdens for the underprivileged will be run on & larger scale this year. Plans already are under way for allotting epproximately 1,000 plots to persons on relief rolls so they may raise vegetables to aid in supplying themselves and families. The num- ber of gardens is to exceed those in operation last year by nearly 300. Ground is now being plowed and harrowed and it is planned to essign the first of them, on the Kingman tract, on Bennings road northeast, about next Wednesday. Due to a change in the relief hook- up the gardens this year will be under different supervision from last year. They come under Capt. Howard F. Clark, deputy administrator and in charge of the works division of the District Emergency Relief Administra- tion, and William C. Cleary, general manager of the works division has girect charge. Care Used in Selection. ‘The gardens, Mr. Cleary said, will be assigned only to those on relief solls and Miss M. Alice Hill, director of the public assistance division, will have charge of selecting those to be assigned the gardens. For the gardens, all available land has been turned over to the District by the United States Engineer's Of- fice and the Office of Public Buildings and Public Parks. The plots now being prepared for the gardens and their size are as follows. The Kingman tract on Benning yoad northeast, 330 gardens for col- ored persons; on the south bank of Eastern Branch, some 60 gardens for white persons; foot of A street south- east, 130 gardens for white persons; at Thirty-sixth and W streets, in rear of Mount Alto Hospital, 125 gardens for white persons; in the 4800 block of Conduit road, 150 gardens for col- ored persons; near First and Q streets southwest, 100 gardens for white persons and nearby a small plot for white persons. Sites Inspected. Mr. Cleary inspected the garden sites Friday with Gerald Coxe, assis- tant regional engineer of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration. Sometime in the near future, Mr. Cleary said, he hopes to have avail- able additional ground for other gar- dens. Each garden is 50 by 100 feet in size and costs approximately $2 to prepare, fertilize and stake, it has been estimated. W. R. Beattie, senior horticulturist, Department of Agriculture, and agri- cultural agent for the District, is ad- viser for the operation of the gar- dens, assisting in many scientific and technical phases. The growth of the subsistence gar- dens here has been rapid. Begun in . 1931 with only 68 gardens, this num- ber increased to 490 in 1932, and ap- proximately 900 in 1933. Last year there were more than 700 in opera- . tion. : Value Placed at $75,000. ¢ pstimates for last year placed the < value of vegetables raised in the gar- dens at $75,000, and those who aided | “in the project were greatly pleased | - over the relief afforded to many needy . individuals. One of the gardeners of last year | * recently wrote: “For the last three ! years I have raised enough fresh vege- - tables for my family of nine children, . wife and myself. All Summer my wife canned enough for most of the Win- ter. I also gave lots of fresh vege- tables to poor families I knew could not afford to buy them.” 195-DAY SENTENEE IMPOSED ON DRIVER Three Traffic Offenses and Revo- : cation of Probation Net Heavy Penalty. Three traffic convictions and the revocation of probation on a former case resulted in the imposition of sentences totaling 195 days in jail against Hunter Satterwhite, 25, first block New York avenue, in Traffic Court yesterday. In addition, he was held under $1,000 bond in Police Court on a charge of joy-riding. Satterwhite was arrested Friday by Policeman E. G. Commingore of the Traffic Bureau after he noticed the taxicab operated by Satterwhite weaving down the street. An investigation revealed, police ¢laim, that the cab had been taken from the Diamond taxicab lot where cabs are placed awaiting drivers. In court today Judge Gus A. Bchuldt sentenced Satterwhite to serve 45 days in jail and pay a fine ©f $100 or serve another 45 days in Jail for driving while intoxicated, 30 days straight for operating after his permit had been revoked and 30 days straight for operating a taxi without & hacker’s license. Judge Isaac R. Hitt revoked the defendant’s proba- - tion and gave him 90 days on a reck- less driving charge for which he was placed on probation last November 17. The same judge held him for - grand jury action on & charge of un- authorized use of the cab. Judge Schuldt sentenced George L. Collins to pay a fine of $100 or serve 30 days in jail for operating without & hacker's license, while Wardell Henson paid a fine of $25 on & second speeding charge. “C0G” EXHIBIT TO STAY Btudents’ Work Will Be on Dis- play at Library Until April 18.
