MONEY READY FOR Jobs
THAT NO LONGER EXIST
Old Excise Board Members
Still at Work, However.
Controller to Decide.

The District Commissioners today called
decision as to whether the item in the
District appropriation bill for the cur
rent year. for the payment OF salaries OF
employees OF the old excise board, Is avail
able for payment OF those same employees
now that the old board has been legis-
lated out OF existence.
Since July l the employees of the old
board have been working without re-
ceiving any salaries-a condition which IS
expressly prohibited by law-and had IL
not been for this fact the work OF ad-
ministering the excise affairs of the Dis
trict would have stopped with the end Of
the last fiscal year
Salaries Erroneously Appropriated.
The item for salaries of employees of
the old board was enormously inserted
in the current appropriation bill for the
District. and until the controller OF tn.
Treasury makes a decision in the mat
ter the money so enormously appro-
priated will not be used TO pay sala ries
of those employees of the old board who
are still on the job.
Applications for liquor licenses are now
being made. and the fees. 1000 I'm each
case. are being received by Roger Will
liams. clerk of the old board, which went
out of existence July ]. Whether Mr.
Williams has any right to receive these
fees. or. indeed, whether he has any right
in the existing confused condition OF af-
fairs to transact any of the business OF
the District excise board. is a question
that has so far not been determined.
Mr. Williams takes the position that
the excise business of the District can
not be permitted TO come to a standstiii.
and that somebody must be on hand to
attend to 1t, Notwithstanding the proyl-
sion Of law that no employee Of the gov
eminent shall work without salary.
New Quarters Not Yet Chosen.
The items enormously incorporated in
the current appropriation BILL providing
that automatically ceased to exist at the
close of the last fiscal year, include 50 OOD
for clerk. 81 200 for ar assistant clerk
$1,000 for an inspector and $500 for a
messenger a total of s. 500 appropri ated
for the payment of salaries of employees
of board that no longer exists.
Auditor ,Tweedale has declined to APP
prove the payment of salaries under the
current appropriation bill. and it is on
his recommendation that the entire mat
ter has been put up to the controller or
the Treasury for final decision.
The confused state of affairs has further
resulted I'm a delay in selecting quarters
for the new excise board, as until the
board shall have been named and Its
personnel is known il would be a diff
cult matter TO arrange for accommoda
tions.

and six minutes in time which the train
had.

ings and satisfy himself that his ma
chine was working satisfactorily, Wood
pointed westward, directly over Coney
Island. and was soon lost to sight in
the fog. At New Brunswick. N. j., where
he expected to first touch the actual
course of the train, he was reported at
5:34, twenty minutes after the train had
passed. He was flying SO high that he
could hardly be seen. The train was

BUSINESS BUILDING AT
18TH AND F ASSURED
Demolition of Present Struc-
lures to Be Started in
Ten Days.

One OF the most important develop
ments in local realty during the present
week was the practical completion of
plans for the erection of a modern bust
ness building to occupy all of the land
at and adjacent to the northeast corner
of and 18th streets northwest. The
new structure will have q total frontage
Of about 100 feet on F street and a depth
of approximately 200 feet on 18th street,
with plans proposed ultimately to extend
the building at uniform width and
height all the way to G street.
Title to all of the pieces Of property
involved was secured nearly two years
ago for one of their clients by the F.
H. Smith Company. the purchases be-
ing made from several estates and other
owners, but the name Of the actual
purchaser never has been made known.
This property. which is now concen-
trated in one owner. includes the
structures numbered 1921 to 1929 r
street, 603 to 623 18th street and 1920
and 1922 G street.
Tenants Now Nearly All Out.
Because Of the existence of leases which
hindered immediate development of the
tract it was impossible to carry into I'M
mediate execution the projected improve
ment Of the property. and this was one OF
the principal reasons for delaying the de-
yelopment. Beginning a few weeks ago.
however. all of the temporary tenants
in the old buildings along 18th street and
on street were given formal notices to
vacate, and with one or two exceptions
all OF them now have gone to other loca.
tions, and the others will be gone by the
middle of next week.
Builders with tentative plans before
them were in consultation with the
officers of the f. H. Smith Company
this morning. and within the next few
days the plans for the proposed bust
ness building will be approved in all
details. 1t Is stated authoritatively
that the task Of razing the old struc-
lures on the F and 18th street 'front.'
ages will be started within ten days.
The new building will be about seven
or eight stories in height, and it will be
occupied probably by one tenant pos
sibly as a department store, though the
officers of the realty company today
would neither affirm nor deny when the
names of q couple of large department
store firms now operating in Philadel-
phia and New York were suggested as
having plans perfected to open a
Washington branch.
