D. c. NPLOYES NOT
HURT BY DEADLOCK
Salary Increases Will Take
Effect as Of
July l.
ADVANCES IN PAY MADE

District employees for whom pay in
creases are carried in the District bill
will not lose anything In the long run
by reason of the measure being dead
locked in Congress.
When the bill passes the increases
will take effect as OF July 1. tho be-
ginning of the fseal year. District
officials say there can be no doubt as
to this, as both houses Of Congress-
agreed to the increases with the In
tent that they should become effective
July 1.
Good News to Police and Teachers.
This will be good news to poiice-
men, teachers and others who. Judg-
ing from communications received at
the District building. generally are
under the impression that the In
creases will apply only from date OF
passage of the bill.
There have been numerous indica-
tions that the District might lose the
services of manx of it's underpaid en-
ployes on account of the District ap-
preparation measure held up In Con-
gress. The bill provides appfoxi-
mately $25o.o00 for increased pay to
ployes of the Public Library and
few clerks at the District building.
Per diem employees, to whom In
creases have been granted recently
now are receiving the advanced pay,
for the reason that they are paid out
of a lump appropriation which the
Commissioners have available under
the continuing resolution passed by
Congress. But the continuing reso-
luton does not affect increases to
annual employees specifically appro-
priated for in the District bill.
Salary Increases Made.
Compared with total of $l.475. 800
appropriated for teachers last year, the
bill now In Congress provides 81, 72S. $50
for their salaries Pay Of library ar. r clerks ss
janitors from S177.668 to $ls6, $50 and Of
policemen from $l.046,61S.s6 to $l.2o1,-

In the police department 1872 prIvates
OF class three are to receive l.320 In
stead of 81, 200 per annam. seventy-eight
in class two $1,000 instead of 81 l.oso per
annum and 1876 in class one $1,000 IN
stead of $500 per annum.
Salaries for the fire department jump
from $5ss.220 to 1857. .460, which repre-
6entS Principally the aQQltlondl amount
that will have to be spent to put the
two-platoon system into effect.
There are to be. eight instead of
-four battalion chiefs, at $4,000 year
each; new deputy fire chief. at $2.508
per annum; 103 instead of A men in
class 1 and 342 instead Of 1S3 men in

a-yeer increase granted government
employees generally by Congress- This
bonus was carried In the executive.

A New Era in the

The discovery of the economic value
of the sunflower, native of this

the sunflower has been grown in this

for its seeds. which were used for

been found TO work very well indeed
Each school has a team on the af-
firnative and one on the negative OF
the question TO be discussed each
year. These debates are held on the
same nighs in each of the respective
schools.

cal contestants won by two to one
