New Fiscal Year Begins on
First-Tax Rate Esti-
mated at $50

With the beginning Of the new
fiscal year tomorrow, the largest
appropriations for District needs
in the history Of the National
Capital will become available for
use.
The increased expenditures win
result in an immediate increase
in the tax rate from $1.20 to APP

cording to present estimates.

lures, unexpended balances and
other figures are totaled for the
fiscal year ending today. District
Auditor Daniel J. Donovan expects
to be able to submit the new rate
to the District Commissioners be-
fore the close Of business tomorrow.
The auditor estimates that the
District viii have to raise about
$500, 900 more upon real estate
and tangible personal property than
it did during the current fiscal
year.
While the Districts expenditures
during the coming year win In
crease heavily, the contribution by
the Federal Government has been
materially decreased by the abol-
ition of the time-honored plan OK
fiscal relationship. Instead OF con.
tributing 40 per cent Of all ex-
penses, az the fiscal plan required.
the Government win contribute q
lump sum Of $1,000. 900 this year.
It's 40 per cent under the other

Opportunity knocks but once"

Opportunity knocks but once"
George Washington Jones, trash
collector, was almost knocked over
by opportunity today and then let
$4,000 pass through his hands. His
lifetime opportunity has come and
gone.
Mrs. May J. Fisk. 81, proprietor
Of a rooming house at col Eighth
street northwest, was the one who
presented Jones with his chance.
When he came around to her house
today to gather the old papers from
her, she gave him the papers, and
also a corset in which was fastened
a small fortune Of $20,S25.
Mrs. Fisk's brother died some
time ago and left 5000. Having
buried him and taken all of her
life savings ,out OF the bank, Mrg.
Fisk was preparing to 60 to Cali
fornia in the near future. Mean
while she kept her money in three
small packets gewed into her corset.
Discovers Loss
During the day, Mrs. Fisk wore
the corset, ana ct night she had q
habit Of wrapping 1t in paper and
throwing 1t in with the old papers,
so that a thief would not take It,
When Jones came around today.
she turned the papers over 70 him
and then prepared to dress.
Not finding the. corset, and re
alizing that she must have given
1t to the trash man along with
the papers. she called the police,
and Headquarters Detectives Flah.
erty and Fowler were sent out to
investigate. They went to the
trash box located at Ninth and ]
streets, across the street, and there
found the corset and money un-
touched.
The trash man. It is said, has q
habit Of sorting his collections at
the end Of every block. When he
reached the end Of the block in
which Mrs. Fish lives, he stopped
to pick out the good papers and
throw the others away. Finding
the old corset he threw It into the
trash box.
When the detectives returned to
headquarters, they found three
leather pouches sewed into the cor.
sets, containing the money in bills Of
81 1000, $500, and 500 denominations,
with two tens and a five. One OF
the folders held six $1,000 bills, an
other held ten $1,000 bills, and the
third had eight $500, eight 500, two
$40, and one bills.
Recovery Is Promp.
Within an hour from the time
headquarters had been notified OF
the loss, Detectives Fowler and
Flaherty were back with the corset
and, the money.
Mrs. Fiske was persuaded to put
the money in a bank, and today
she Is moving out OF her home and
will live with friends until she
leaves for California.
Meanwhile, one trash man doesn't
know even yet what he missed.
