GRATIFYING TO cONFEDERATES

Confederates soldiers are gratified that James A. Berry has been ap- pointed on the commission to mark the graves of soldiers of the confed- eraey killed in battle or buried near battlefields. For 22 years Berry rep resented Arkansas in the United States senate. Then there was new order of things and Arkansas turned out those belonging to the regime fol- lowing the Civil War and substituted a more vigorous type of politician. Thus Clarke succeeded Berry and Jeff Davis succeeded Jones. Berry went out of office poorer than when he entered His law practice was gone

RULING IS ASKED FOR

REFERRED TO CONTROLLER
Doubt as to Right of Per Diem EN-
ployes to Leaves With PAY.
LAW vARI0USLY CONSTRUED
Committee Appointed to Undertake
Solution of the Problem Unable
to Reach Decision.
LAW VARIOUSLY CONSTRUED

For two years per diem employees of the
District have gone without an annual
leave OF absence, regardless Of whether
or not their service to the District has
oeen a continuous day-in-and-da y-out af-
1alr, and the matter has been fermenting
In the various District departments to
sucn an extent that the committee ap-
pointed to control this perplexing problem
mas thrown up its hands and put the re-
sponslb1lity of answering the question
whether or not these employees should
have annual leaves to the controller OF
the Treasury
There is a provision of law which all
lows thirty per diem employees to get
thirty days vacation apiece, with pay
There has been strong hint from many
OF those who would like to take a trip to
the country in the hot weather that this
meant nine hundred days to be divided
among deserving per diem employees, who
IN erect are regular employees on the an
nual roll Corporation Counsel Thomas

would be according to law
mere are many employees in the Dis
trlct government who are paid by the
aay. but who are just as busy all the
time as the annual roll EMPLOYEES There
are three classes of these per diem en-
ployes who are raising the question as
to leaves of absence. One class includes
craftsmen, assistant engineers, Jewelers.,
transltnen, rodmen, chainmen, comput-
ers, copylsts, overseers, ETC., in the en-
glneer department. These people are ap-
pointed to carry on certain engineering
work, but the result is generally that
they all render service every working
day OF the year. The second class in
cludes the employees Of the contagious
disease service. Many Of them work
every day in the year, including Sundays
and some holidays.
The third class are collectors or bailiffs
employed in the collection of overdue
personal taxes. Those now employed
work every business day of the year,
and have done SO for long time. They
are in effect continuous employees
The controller will be asked to deter
mine whether the District Commissioners
cap grant these classes Of employees
leaves of absence with pay.

the triennial assessment can be made be-
tween the first Monday of January, 1911,

Assessment.
WARMING TO REALTY OWNERS

High-water mark for assessments on
new buildings and improvements to real
estate constructed during single year,
will probably be reached in the coming
annual assessment on new houses and
buildings.
The figure is estimated by the board
of assistant assessors a S12,OcO,oD. This
represents 66 2-3 per cent of S1S,op,OOo,
the supposed valuation of new buildings
in the District erected or to be under
roof by the LIST of July.
Protest Must Be Made by July ID.
The board of real estate appraisers.
composed of Messrs. Kalbfus. Mckenzie
and Trin1bIe, will adhere closely to the
law this year in assessing two-thirds of
the value on real estate, according to
statement made by a member OF the
board this morning.
For that reason it mas been suggested
by the board. property owners should
know that this assessment Is the annual
assessment and not the triennial assess
ment and that protests against valua-
tionS should he made before 1t IS 100
late They will stand after July Is.
The members Of the board believe there
is great chance that persons who own
new property of the class described VIII
be misled into the belief that this is a
triennial assessment of real estate ana
that the protests against high appraisals
can be left until next January. This is
not SO.

building with protest too late for ac-
ton bv the board of assistant assessors
ANY one who has a new house. put up
this year, should look into the matter
right away. If the board sets value on
