SHAM BATTLE FOUGHT
ON GEORGETOWN FIELD
Reserve Officers Training Corps
Presents Many Features at
Anniversary Event.

Georgetown's quiet streets echoed
yesterday afternoon to the roar of
bursting hand-grenades and the rat
tie of machine-gun fire. when the Re
serve Officers Training Corps staged
brief but realistic sham battle.
The occasion marked the third an
niversary of the organization Of the
corps, and the engagement was an
accurate portrayal Of methods used
by a platoon of infantry capturing a
machine gun nest.
The machine gun positions were
near the foot OF the stone wall along
the north side of the athletic field
and the gunners were armed with
grenades. The attacking force was
led by Cadet Capt. NJ. H. NacElhinny
and in actual combat would have been
supported on either flank by other
troops.
Stokes mortars, a whippet tank and
a 37-millimeter gun were used in the
maneuver, and six airplanes overhead
gave a creditable exhibition of an
aerial combat. Following the battle
the tank and other equipments were
inspected by the spectators and an
exhibition of wireless telephony was
given by a flyer, who talked to the
ing several hundred feet above their
heads.
The spectacle was arranged by
Capt. William H. Hobson, professor
of military science at the university,
assisted by Capt. Walter D. McCord.
A novel feature which closed the ex-
hibition was the liberation Of score
Of carrier pigeons trained by the Sig
nal Corps.

MAKING OF BUDGET
BY COMMISSIONERS.
BEGINS TOMORROW.
New City Heads Will Devote
A Two Weeks to Work on
District Estimates.

The new board of Commissioners
will begin tomorrow to prepare the
estimates to Congress on which the
next District appropriation bill will
be based.
For fully two weeks the city heads
will devote practically all of their
time to the task, since the estimates
must be in the hands of the Secretary
of the Treasury on October Is.
Although Commissioner Hendrick
ha& been in office only a week and
is not expected they will have much
difficulty in grasping the work of
preparing the budget. Mr.. Hendricks
business career as a broker and in
surance man has fitted him to handle
financial questions, and Miss Board
man, through her long connection
with the American Red Cross, is also
well equipped.
Col. kutz's Experience.
In addition to the qualifications they
have brought with them into Office.
the new Commissioners will have the
benefit of Col. Kutz's six years of
service as Engineer Commissioner.
Since the Commissioners are pro-
hibited by law from divulging the
contents of their estimates before
Congress convenes in December, it is
not known what recommendation, if
any, they will make in regard to the
amount which the federal govern
ment should contribute toward the
upkeep of the National Capital
Until last year the United States
paid half. At the last session, how
ever, the time-honored half-and-half

the federal government. This neces-
STATED an increase in the real estate
tax rate, which Congress authorized
the Commissioners to make.
The old tax rate was $3.50 per 500
of assessed value. Congress directed
the Commissioners to raise the rate
sufficient to enable the city to meet
so per cent of the appropriation bill
with the proviso that the new tax
rate should not exceed SO per hun
bred. -lH
The Commissioners. on June 2e,
fixed the new rate at s1.95. If Con-
gress should fail to restore the fifty
fifty law at the coming session and
continue the existing arrangement
the tax cannot go more than cents
higher.
Pay Of Statutory Clerks.
Statutory clerks in the District serv-
ice, who have seen the police, f1remen,
school teachers and per diem workers
advanced in pay since the war. are
confident the Commissioners will in
clude In the estimates a request for
higher pay for them. The salaries of
these statutory employees have not
been changed for many years.
The civic organizations are hopeful
that the Commissioners will be liberal
in asking for street improvements
and for appropriations to maintain ex-
listing roadways
Miss Boardman. when asked last
night if she had formed a definite
opinion on the question Of how much
the federal government should con-
tribute toward the support of it's
capital, said she regarded this as too
important topic on which to form a
conclusion until she has had time to
study it carefully.
