LaGuardia to Ask
Increased Pay for
Police and Firen1en
Aldermanic Head Announces He VIII
Appeal to The Board of
Estimate.

Major F. II. La Guardia, president of the
Board Of Aldermen. will, in the near fu-
ture, request the Board of Estimate to in
crease the pay of members Of the Police
and Fire departments. He said yesterday
that he would have conference with rep
Of these departments and that
he believed the maximum pay Of the MEM
bers should be $500, and the minimum
81, 800. The wages of the patrolmen and
firemen were increased in the 1890 budget
from 81, $50 to 81 800 a year. It is understood
that both Mayor Hylan and Controller
Craig are against any further increases
over those provided in the budget.
Although I receive salary of $500 a
year" said Major La Guardia yesterday,
MRS. La Guardia does her own washing.
On the same principle it must follow that
the wife Of a patrolman at $1,000 a year
would have to take in washing in order
to make both ends meet. think the pay
OF the policeman, for instance, should be
sufficient to free him from all suspicion.
We have the finest body OF men in the
world in our department, therefore it is up
to us as taxpayers 10 keep them there. In
order to do this we must keep them con-
tented and happy. We must give them
enough pay to keep their bodies and souls
together"
Major La Guardia asserted his belief
that policemen should not receive any gifts.
however small, not even IAN orange or a
cigar" The most insignificant gift. he said,
implied that public servant was receiving
something for nothing, and the principle
involved in the acceptance was wrong. He
also said that the policeman should re-
ceive his revolver and night stick from the
city instead of having to pay for them
The only thing he now receives from the
city is his shield

WATER POWER BILL
PASSED BY SENATE.
ENDING BIG FIGHT
Measure Now Goes to Confer
ence and Final Enactment
IS Expected Soon.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Thursday,--End.
ing ten-year fight, the, Senate today
passed the water power bill. which now
goes TO conference for the composing Of diff
ferences between the House and Senate,
Final enactment Of the measure within a
few weeks is expected.
The vote was 52 to Is, and was taken
after the Senate had reconstdered its
former action and restored A 20 %. an
amendment which would limit the govern
ruent license on development projects 10
* cents per horse power.
The bill as passed by the Senate pro-
vides for creation of federal water power
commission. composed of the Secretaries
OF War. Interior and Agriculture, which
would be authorized after investigation, to
issue licenses for development OF water
power projects FOR reasonable annual
charge" The licenses would run for fifty
years.
The measure further provides that the
federal commission shall cooperate with
the States and other federal agencies. that
there shall be no charge on State and
muhlClpdl power ProJeCtS an" thot ii-
dustrial plants, developing less than 200
horse power shall not be required to pay
a license. On two years notice in writing
the United States would have the right, at
the expiration of a license, to take over
and operate plants.
Power plants now in operation would not
come under provision of this bill.
At the expirat ton of the fifty year
license period, the government would have
three alternatives in dealing with all
licensed projects--take over the plant,
issue a new license. or have the original
license continue in opera tion.

Rail Executives
Will Discuss Fixed
Return Rate Today
Many Members of Association Are
Opposed to Stated Percentage
in CuInmins Bill.

Much Importance is attached in financial
circles to the meeting of the Steering
Committee of the Association of Railway
Executives which will be held this morn
ing for the purpose Of discussing differ
ences that exist among the executives
over section of the Cummins bill. That
section provides that rates be established
by the Interstate Commerce Commission
which will allow 51s per cent return on
property investment OF tho roads.
Many members of the association dis
agree on the rate question. a number
favor the adoption of fixed rate Of re-
turn as provided for in the Cummins bill,
while others favor a return not carrying
the excess profits distribution, as the bill
provides. The difference of opinion
among the executives on section has for
some time threatened a split in the asso-
ciation 1t is for the purpose of trying
to reach compromise on section that
today's meeting has been called.
Advocates of the 5ia per cent provision
believe it affords n safe solution OF the
problem which will be created when the
lines are returned to private ownership
and control on March next. The
majority of the executives favoring that
provision are heads Of roads which are
now earning a return on their stocks
simply because OF the standard return
guarantee by the government. They are
opposed to n more elastic return, as in
many instances the freight rate advance
necessary to equal 5i4 per cent would have
to be from 20 to IS per cent.
Executives Of the stronger roads are
opposed to a fixed charge return because
In many instances those roads are now
earning more than the federal standard
return In some instances those roads
have made substantial profit, Tor the
government during their operation under
federal control. For that reason they are
opposed to the 51s per cent provision
The Advisory Committee, of which w.
w. Atterbury, vice president Of the Penn
syIvania. is chairman. met yesterday in
executive session. After the meeting 1t
was announced only routine business had
been transacted.
