CITIZENS BODY MAY
FIGHT ALLEY BILL
East Washington Association
Expected to Take Stand at
Meeting Tonight.

Members of the East Washington Cfti-
zens' Association are expected TO line
up with the Chamber OF Commerce to-
now before the House. The Chamber of
Commerce has asked that the bill be re-
ferred to a committee which may hold
public hearings. and II this is done the
citizens association probably will seno
a delegation to be heard.
THE bill evidently has been maneu-
vered in the interest of people of
wealth. who are not big enough to IA
vor broad measure said DR.. Charles
NJ. Emmons. president of the associa-
ton. AS the measure passed the Sen
ate. it expressly provides that servants
may be allowed TO sleep in quarters
over private stables or garages, but
in the case of some poor laborer who
has invested all his savings in an alley
building, ii holds that such living quar-
tiers are inimical to the public veal,
and should be abolished
The directors of the association in
clude DR.. Emmons, William NJ. Potter.
Thomas W. Smith. Albert Schulteis. and
G. W. Shields. Mr.. Schulteis is also a
member of the special committee of the
Chamber of Commerce, which has the
alley bill in charge.
The Chamber committee has sent a
letter to every member OF the House,
protesting against what il deems the
unjust provisions of the proposed law,
particularly the amendment which

but which provides no way for COM

PER CAPITA DEBT
HERE ONLY S24.O9
Washington Has Lowest in
Group, According to Census
Report.

Washington has the lowest per capita
Indebtedness of any city In the United
States having a . population OF from
300 600 to 500, 900. Each washingtonian
is shouldering a municipal debt of but
s24.o9, as compared with s13s.1s for each
resident of Cincinnati. which has the
highest per capita OF any city In the
second census group with a popula-
ton over 10000 and under $4,000
Figures on the Indebtedness of cities
compiled by the Census Bureau have
just been made public. New York city
has the greatest per capita indebted
ness. amounting to s156.57. Springfield,
Mo. has the smallest, but S3.75.
A significant fact brought out In the
report is that the per capita indebted
ness increases. as a rule, with the size
of the city, though there are some
striking exceptions.
The total gross debt for 1875 cities
having a population of $1,000 or over
was, in 1912. the year of the report,
&.S55. 46i,o2S. with a per capita of ss621
The net Indebtedness was s2,ol5.6oO,O 90.
or S6SI per capita.
A tabulation of the total and per
capita net Indebtedness of the nation.
of the 146 cities for which comparative
data are available for the period from
1902 to 1872. and of New York city. for
which the figures are more striking
than are those for the nation or for
the 1+6 cities taken as a whole shows
that municipal Indebtedness not only
is much greater than national indebted
ness, but Is rapidly increasing, while
that OF the nation is remaining practi-
cally stationary.
While the per capita net debt of the
National Government decreased from
sl2A in 1902 to sl0T in 1912, that o.
the 1+s cities reported annually by the
Bureau of the Census during that peri
cd increased from s41s In 1902 to so. a
In 1872. and that of New York city in
creased from s76.45 in 1902 to sl56.57 in

SHRINKING REVENUE

Passage of River and Harbor

Grows Doubtful.

AS the result OF a filibuster carried

measure was blocked for the time
being. II was. however, the intention
Of its advocates to bring the bill VI
again after passage of the trust bills
and make another effort to enact 1t
But the situation is completely
changed from what II was when the
river and harbor bill was under dis
cussion. II was pointed out then that
TO enact the bill without pairing II "a
the bone would mean a huge deficit
in the revenues at the end OF the cur
rent fiscal year. That sort Of argu-
ment was potent before the European
war began But now, with revenues
dwindling and war taxes in sight 1t
is more powerful than ever.
Doubt Passage of Present Bill.
The opponents OF the river and har-
Dor bill are convinced the Democratic
leaders will not venture to pass the
pending bill and thus increase heavily
the need for war taxes.
In fact, had the present situation OBJ
aimed while other appropriation meas
res were pending there is no doubt
hey would have been pared down.
