to Grant and Revoke
Realty Licenses

Chairman Ball, of the Senate Dis
trict Committee, today introduced
the bin drafted by the Washington
Real Estate Board creating a Real
Estate Commission for the District
with power to grant and revoke
licenses to both rear estate men
and real estate. statesmen.
The bill calls for a commission
OF three members, one of whom
would be the District assessor and
the other two. appointed by the
District Commissioners. One of the
two appointees. according to the
bill, would be selected from ten
names submitted by the Wash
ington Real Estate Board
The members of the commission
would receive $50 day salary for
each day actually spent in function
ing. The bill calls for fees of 500
for license to the real estate bust
ness and the posting of a $1,000
bond as an evidence of good faith.
Ten specific reasons why real
estate licenses might be revoked are
contained in the bill which is L

Protest to Utilities Board in

A protest against the removal of
car tracks on Wisconsin avenue

Utilities Commission today by citi-
zens of Rockville. They declared
themselves opposed to the running
of buses. The petition says:
Such action will cause us to
change cars at some point between
Rockville and washington, and
transfer to buses, with consequent
Impairment to our comfort and
lengthening of our transit time,
without any benefits actually &C.
cruing to residents of Rockville,
except inconvenience.
Seen as Uncertain.
I'VE believe that it is unwise
to remove railway tracks that have

increase the values OF property

uncertainty Of bus service, which
might be discontinued, in the event
that it was not Immediately prof

better schedule between Washing

The petition has about seventy
five signatures.

Division Heads Say

The Budget Bureau. will be
forced to recede from its stand
for drastic reduction in the NUM-
Der of Federal employees, according
to departmental officials.
The personnel survey is certain
to result in a report that the Gov
eminent personnel is at the lowest
point compatible with the main
tenance of present efficiency levels
they say.
Another point in the civil serv-
ice situation is found in the legis
lation reorganizing the Federal
departments now pending in Com
gress. An attempt is to be made
to enact this Brown-SmOot- Reayis
plan before adjournment Of the
session in March. Officials say
that any personnel reorganization
should awaitethe result Of the de-
partnental shifts and consolida-
tions involved in the prospective
new law.
Under the conditions General II.
M. Lord, director of the budget.
has made tactical error in fore
ing the issue OF payroll slashing to
public attention now.
1t was emphasized today in adj
rninistratiOn circles that the pro-
position advanced by the Budget
Director that there is a large num-
Der of excess or superfuous work
ers in the Federal departments is
entirely wrong.
Upon that point the departments
are willing to stand the strictest
kind of an inquiry.
It is the policy of all Of the
departments to drop temporary
employees paid from lump sum
appropriations when they are no
longer needed, personnel officials
says
The instances In which this
policy has been violated have been
largely caused hy special conditions,
it was said today. 1t is suggested,
however, that this situation easily
could be cleared up by the issuance

Commissioner Bell explained. Then
we want to get the views of the
various organizations on just how
much the city should spend during
the following fiscal year"
Commissioner Bell declared that
he did not want recommendations
in detail
I'VE want the organizations to
confine their views to general APP
preparations" he said. I'm this
way we can find whether the peo-
Pile think we should spend more or
less for street improvements, more
or less for lighting, etc."
Opinions would be helpful to
the Commissioners, he added, in
preparing the budget; would give
them concrete idea of just what
the public wanted done with the
money il spends in taxes"
The 1927 budget will not be pre-
pared until next fall.
But we want to go to work
now and give the organizations
sufficient time to consider the
proposition" he declared, I'VE
want these views before US in

I Commissioner James F. Oyster

AZ believe the people should have
the chance to express themselves
on how their money should be

work out to the advantage of the

The proposition of Commissioner
Bell is in line with his expressed
opinions recently that Washington
should have a city council or some
body directly representing the peo-
pie to tell the Commissioners their
views on civic city problems and
expenditures.

HIS LAST SHOT.

He was a noted gnnman In the Wild

With broad eOmbreRO and n leather

And like the cowboys Of that day, he
was full Of fight and cuss
And carried his ammunition on his hip
and was always ready for q fuss.
But civilization came along and pushed
him off the scene,
And his guns were laid aside to rust,
except when on the screen.
In the movies he gave atmosphere to
q thrilling Wild western play
And perforated the villain in a most
satisfying way.
Habit, however, chung to him and
whenever not employed
The good old days stayed vivid and
with his hip he tOyed.
Ten good shots fingered there, and
when he his deadly weapon drew
He was often shot to pieces by sIugs
Of mountain dew.'S
Until finally, this gunman known
throughout the West,
Died peacefully, with his boots on, and
was quietly laid to rest.
Like all bad men he met his fate,
twas In the early morn.
He was sent on his long journey by
