Darrow and Councilman W. W. Koper, of the Sixth district, to discuss plans 1 to replace tho old Gcrmantown Town j Hall with n municipal center, mid to move the brunch postoUlcc building to this site. I The Mujor pointed out that the town hall is antiquated, and Gcrmantown needs a local point tor Its municipal 'activities. After conferring with the Major, Darrow and Holier went to tlie office of John P. 11. Hlnklcr, city archi tect, who hns been working on plans for the new center for some time. Tho present postoffico, nt the north east corner of Gcrmantown and Cheltcn avenues, has grown too unall to handle the business of Germautown, and tlie mcrchauts of the section hare been ngl. tatlng for some time to get a larger place. Through the efforts of Congressman Darrow they made, preliminary arrange ments to have tho postoffico mbved to the first floor of a olg new apartment house building at Greene street and Chelten avenue. Delays in completing the building hnve kept the postoffice out of Its new qunrteis. Kor this reason the busl ness men have been seeking n new location. It became known recently that the town hnll was in bod condi tion, and the business nfen conceived the plan of tearing it down and having a new building erected there, pnrt of whlph could be URcd for tho postoffico. Congressman Darrow will go to Washington Immediately to confer with I'ostiiiustcr Hurlesou, in an effort to get his co-operation. It is Mr. Uopcr s Idea that tho new building would house in addition to the postoffice the Ger mantown police stutlon, the district sunejor'.s office, tho branch tax office, the water purveyor's office and various other blanches of the city government. If the plan to hnxc n municipal garage and branch garages goes through, It is expected that there also will be a brain Ii garage on the site. During the conference the Mnj'or said. "1 observe that thore Is n large amount of city property that is not In use. but which could be used if properly iniiiroxcd The site of tho present town hull is n splendid lot of ground, well located .and the erection of n new build ing at Gcrmantown avenue and Haines -treet would bring together all public olliies. which would he n great con venience to the citizens."

Voluntary Taxation Right now in this country a work is progress ing that is so far reaching, so important and so large in public interest that it may be properly re garded as remarkable. Our canned meat products are protected in the packing by Government Inspectors and the ap proved result bears the Government mark of standard. But our vegetable food product's are not under Governmental scrutiny and care. Of the thousands of canners, there are some whose output is not always fit to eat. And so, voluntarily, a great association of can ners have formed a national organization to pro tect the public and themselves against impure canned goods. Have agreed to a tax per case for the main tenance of a daily inspection in the canneries of the association's members, and have agreed to permit, only on those products whose manufac ture comes up to rigid sanitary requirements, the imposition on the package of a seal or certificate of safety. When you see this seal next year, it will iden tify for you canned goods which you may eat with the knowledge that it has behind it the pledge of a great industry as to sanitation and wholesome ness. The National Canners' Association has dis played a breadth of vision and an intelligence in self-interest that must react favorably on the work of other associations. It will merit the commen dation of the public it serves. So far-sighted and powerful a mbvement will be advertised nationally to hasten the success that seems inevitable.
