HEALTH SERVICE
MEN MAY HAVE TO
PAY INCOME TAX
Question Of Exemption, Involv-
ing Thousands Of Employees.
Now Before Treasury Dept.

Were the Public Health Service
employees in the army or navy during
the war! What are their income tax
rights?
These questions are causing the
Treasury Department and. incident
ally. the employees concerned, more than
a little worry.
During the war former President
Wilson issued an order converting
the Public Health Service into the
armed forces of the army and navy.
Some of the oficials of the service
actually did join one OF the military
branches, but the majority remained
In the same capacities they were in
before the war started.
Under the present income tax law
persons in the military service are
entitled to an exemption of $4,000 in
stead of the civilian exemption Of
81. 900 and $4,000.
The employees took advantage Of the
provisions of the law and have not
paid income tax. Last month on re-
ceipt Of decisions from the army and
the navy that the public health en-
piOyeS, Win rev exceptions, were not
in the military service, the Bureau of
Internal Revenue asked every en-
ploye to NIL out an income tax blank
for the three-year period in which
they did not pay tax. After several
weeks OF work the local Office, 1t is
said, was ready to impose the amount
of taxes for the past three years,
when word was received from the
Treasury Department to hold of for
a while until the matter could be dis
cussed further. 1t is believed that
the question has been sent to the
Attorney General for an opinion.
1t IL said at the Public Health Ser
vice that many thousands of employees
of the service in Washington and
throughout the country. will be seri-
ously affected IL the decision goes
against them, as they will have to
pay thousands OF dollars in back taxes
to the Government. More than a thou
sand persons in Washington alone will
be affected by the decision

MARYLAND TOWNS
GET CHEAPER GAS
BY RATE DECISION
HyattsviIIe, Mt Rainier, and
RivsrdaIs Consumers Win Fight
For Reduced Charges.

Effective June 1, residents Of ny
attsville. Mt. Rainier, Riverdale and
other towns In that section OF Prince
Georges county. Nd, will have their
gas rate reduced 10 cents per thous-
and cubic feet.
This decision of the Public Service
Commission of Maryland is the out
come of q long and arduous struggle
on the part of gas consumers.
The present rate charged By the
Hyattsvill. Gas and Electric Com
pany 10 81 per thousand cubic feet,
with an additional service charge Of
30 cents q month. The new rate will
be S1.86 q thousand.
SERVICE CHARGE REMAINs.
The service charge, which was the
real bone of contention In the bat
tie for cheaper gas. was retained By
the Public Service Commission. The
commissioners. in justifying the
charge. quoted from . decision Of
the Public Service Commission for
New York.
The action of the Public Service
Commission may well be considered Q
victory for gas consumers in the NY
sttsville district said Vincent A.
sheehy. former corporation counsel Of
Hyattsville, who conducted the case
for the gas consumers OF his town.
COUNSEL 0vERRULED.
Although the commissioners did
not see At to lop OF the ffty-cent
service charge, we feel that the re-
duction of fifteen cents per thousand
cubic feet Is . step in the right a.
rection."
In their opinion. the Commission
ers overruied the contention Of
counsel for the gas company that
the high cost OF labor and materials
necessitated the excessive" rate.
They held that both labor and ma
tesiAls have decreased considerably from
the peaks to which they rose dur
ing and Immediately after the war.
OBJECT TO sEhvICE.
The commission further held that
the company's present coal con-
tract. which expires In July. can be
renewed at a considerable reduction
in price. The consumers, the epin-
ion stated, should have the benent

mission. One was held in MI Rainier,
and three took place in Baltimore.
The protestants testified that the

cause there was insufficient gas to
