Obstacles to Amendment.

There are difficulties in the way of

tons. a government clerk who does not
reside in the District can send his chill

What the Law Requires.

The law provides that no outside pupils
shall he taught free who do not reside in
the District or who. during tutelage. do
not own property In or pay taxes levied
by the District, or whose parents do not
reside in or are not engaged in business
or public duties in the District.
Pupils who cannot escape paying tut
ton under the provisions of the law are
required to pay amounts fixed by the
board of education, subject to the APP
prevail of the Commissioners. This scale
OF rates ranges from 500 year in I'M
graded schools to S136 a year iL normal
schools.
Instances are on record, it is said. of the
purchase of ground in the District at
cost of not more than So. The tax on
ground of this value amounts TO less than
~ cents a year Yet the fact of beng
taxpayer enables the nonresident owner
If the property to send his children to
local school without having to pay tu-
ifion.
The extent to which a technical viola
lion of this kind can be carried. 1t Is
20 nted out, would be for a number of
persons to buy small piece of property.
rs a result of VIII oh all of them would be
constituted taxpayers in the District.

Value of Stamped Paper.

1t states that stamped paper to the
value of $226. 469, 256S9 was issued during
the fiscal year closing June 30 last. an
increase of $23915. sol % over the previous
year. The agreement with the Secretary
Of the Treasury for the production of
adhesive postage stamps, which expired
January 81, 1911, the report adds. was
renewed for a four-year period from Feb
ruary I, at prices which will effect a
saving of 100000. This economy was
made possible, the report declares, by
the introduction of improved machinery
and methods at the bureau of engraving
and printing.
In the money order service, according
to the report, u 500 post offices issued
81. 146, 233 domestic money orders during
the fiscal year, aggregating In amount
$57S Ill COS. IL: orders were paid amount
ing. to 1913, 2i6. 500. 80. The revenues for
money order fees amounted to Si,S43,-

year. the increases in the values of or
ders issued and paid amounted to more
than $50 zoo, 900 in each case. A total of
4,20, 2a money orders were issued in the
international service, amounting to S109,-

1t is recommended that Congress be
asked to give the Postmaster General au-
thority to fix the domestic money order

Irrecoverable Losses.

There are $50 domestic cases involving
irrecoverabie losses out of 81, I6I,56J
pieces registered. or / in every 44,43l
The losses of matter to or from foreign
countries amounted to 1871 which We're
irrecoverable out of S..6o.36S pieces reg
istered, or 1 in every J343 pieces. Claims
for indemnity in the domestic service
were approved for $14,21s.93. and in the
foreign service for Sl,I47.s5.
The report contains q recommendation
that the maximum amount of indemnity
be increased to $1O0 and that "a registry
fee based upon the risk assumed be
fixed.
1t is estimated that the numerous i'm

Collections Difficult.

President Oyster of the school board
asserted that everything is being done to
enforce the law. but that the general way
III which il is drawn is making 1t difficult
,Ur the board to collect what is due the
District from nonresident pupils. The
assistance of Corporation Counsel
Thomas, he said, frequently has been en-
ployed with a view to having the pro-
visions Of the law complied with as strict
N as possible.
While not intimating what action might
hc taken, President oyster declared that
the question is one which the board un-
doubtedly will give considerable atten-
ton to during the present year.
Investigations by school officials which
lave been in progress for some time have
revealed numerous ways, II was stated
today. by which the provisions of the law
have been evaded. One of the favored
means. it was learned. is the purchase of
small plots of land in the District on
which the annual taxes amount to far
less than the established rates of tuition
for nonresident pupils The fact of being
taxpayer enables a parent, whether he
lives in the District or not, to send his
children TO the local public schools with
out being required 10 pay tuition. An
other method employed, it is said, is to
have ones children reside in the Dis
trict during the school year. This is a
technical violation of the law, and enables
parent to escape payment for the in
StructiOu.
