DISTRICT HEADS. lay
STRESS ON NEED OF
ADEQUATEPENS|ONS
Urge Police and Firemen's
Cause in Their Report
to Congress.

Urging legislation providiy FOR po-
lice and giemen's relief fund, the estab-
lishment of d municipal asphalt and
garbage plant, and change from a
triennial to an annual assessment of
real estate, the Commissioners today
forwarded to Congress their annual re-
port for the year ended June 30, 1912
Stress is laid on the necessity for inn
mediate legislation providing for ade-
quate funds to meet the payment Of po-
pilce and firemens' pensions. 1t is GER
tain, II is stated that In the near future
the District. under present conditions,
will be unable to meet Its obligations.
Approval Is given to the recon-
mendation of Assessor Richards that
provision be made for an annual in
stead of a trienniai assessment of
real estate. The triennial assessment
Of real estate for the years 1s12-19l4
was returned January I. 1911 and was
found to be $33O,322.487. This will
give a yearly tax Of S6,000,000.
Attention Is directed to an item in
the estimates for the establishment
OF a municipal asphalt plant which,
1t is declared, will result in large an
nual savings.
The estimated value Of the building
work during the year, not including the
buildings Of the United States Govern
ment, was $14,6S8.034, which was a de-
crease over the proceeding year Of 81
733, ,9l2.
The Commissioners say that a partial
investigation leads them to believe that
the removal Of refuse can be done at
much less cost by the municipality. The
present contracts do not expire until
June 30. 1915. The Commissioners ask
for authority to frame plans or a
municipal garbage plant.
The Commissioners desire $4,000 to
convert Goat Alley, between Sixth and
Seventh and L and M streets northwest,
into an interior park.
The Commissioners say they believe
the entire water service should be
metered within six years, In order that
the necessity Of an additional acqueduct
at a cost Of $5. 900 may be postponed
for an indefinite number of years.
The report contains summary OF the
annual reports OF the heads OF the vari-
Gus depa rtments. which previously have
been made public.
