POLICE ASKED TO FIND
1000 MISSING BRICKS
Building Material Disappears
When Transferred From One
Project to Another.

The Washington police have a good
record in solving murders, in over
taking automobile thieves and in de-
tecting corn Ticker" establishm ents-
but today their reputation is at stake.
They have been called in on what
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle might call
The Strange Case of the Missing
Schoolhouse Bricks"
The case was brought to the atten-
tion of the police by the engineer
department of the District, and here
are the brief facts: The city trans
ported a large consignment of bricks
from Occoquan to be used on a GER
tain new school. A last-minute change
was made, and the bricks were divert
ed to another more urgent school
project The number of bricks in the
shipment was estimated at the start
ing point. A check-up at the scene
of operations later showed 1000 less
prices.
The money value of that many
bricks is only s35, and, of course, there
is the possibility of an error having
been made in checking at either end.
Nevertheless officials decided to
make the inquiry complete, and so
they asked the police to help find
the missing bricks.

approved yesterday by the committee
on Great Falls of the Washington

vorably on the report of its subcom-
mittee, by vote of to S, but only
after considerable debate, in which
the project was opposed by A. H. Fer
randou, engineer of the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Company.
The plan, which Is that of Col Tyler
United States Army engineer, pro-
vides for the generation of the power
and selling it outright to the local
electric company for distribution over
its conduits to the residents of the
city.
1t was the contention Of Mr. Fer
randou that the installation of a plant
at Great Falls would result in in
creased cost Of power. He said that
his company could furnish power at
fraction OF cent per kilowatt hour
less than can the proposed Great Falls
plant.
On the other hand, Gen. w. H. Black.
chairman of the subcommittee, said
that the people Of the District would
save about 100000 a year in actual
cash, and at the end of thirty years
would be the sole owner Of the plant.

full chamber at its next meeting.

SENATE RETIREMENT
MEASURE APPROVED
Amendment Provides More Liberal
Terms for Veteran Fed
eral Workers.
ORDER FAVORABLE REPORT
Committee Expects Action at This
Congress Session.

The bill amending the civil service
retirement act so as to liberalize that
law and provide increased annuities
for the retired employees was ordered
reported favorably to the Senate late
yesterday afternoon by the Senate
civil service committee. Senator
Stanfield of Oregon, chairman of the
committee, said later he expected to
report the bill to the Senate today
and that he believed it would be en-
acted into law at the present session
of Congress.
The bill as reported to the Senate is
not as favorable to the retired en-
ployes as the bill now on the House
calendar, but is described as a big
Improvement on existing law.
Age of Retirement.
The age of optional retirement in
the Senate bill is fixed at sixty-three
after thirty years service, except for
mechanics, laborerS, city and rural
letter carriers, post Office clerks and
railway mail clerks, whose retirement
age is fixed at fifty-eight years.
Employees who have reached the age
of seventy will be automatically re-
tired, provided they have had at least
fifteen years of service.
The maximum annuity is $1,000, as
compared TO SISU unuGT 6SlSLlHS Id
In no case will an employe be allow
ed to draw more than 75 per cent of
his average annual salary for the
ten years preceding his retirement
In the House bill, known as the Lehl-
back bill, the annuity is figured on
the average annual salary received
for five preceding years retirement.
House Bill Provisions.
The House bill also fixes the age of
optional retirement for the employees
at sixty and fifty-fve years, accord
ing to the classes of employment, in
stead of sixty three and fifty-eight in
the Senate bill. A compromise may
be sought, 1t is said, making the ages
of retirement sixty-two and fifty
seven.
Robert H. Alccrn, chairman of the
Joint committee on civil service re-
tirement, discussing the Senate COM
mittee bill, said it would do a great
deal of good, although not as liberal
as the House measure. 1t is a vast
Improvement, he declared, over exist
ing law.
