TWO DISTRICT PAY DAYS.
Teachers, Policemen and Firemen to
Get Checks Before Christmas.

There will be two pay days next
month. and Christmas money for teach
ers of the public schools, policemen
and firemen of the District. On motion
Of Commissioner Rudolph, the Commits
sioners today decided to send out extra
pay checks about December 20.
On account of decision by the con-
troller Of the Treasury. forbidding pay
ments for services until they have been
rendered, the Christmas checks will be
for only about two weeks service. The
Commissioners decided that half-pay
would be more acceptable than none at
all.
The action Of the Commissioners will
mean additional work for the Offices of
the auditor and disbursing officer for
the District. Both Auditor Tweedale
and Disbursing Oficer Wilson. however,
expressed pleasure at the Commission
ers' decision and the prospect of aiding
in the visits OF Santa Claus at the
