BERLIN SWAMPED
 ASD0WNP0UR HITS RodbedS Damaged as Flood
 Descends on Kensington BENSON DECLINES TO RUN
Rnson Not to Run For Post-Mrs. Ftske Returns - Residents Indig- nant Over Bus Company's Reply to Denlands-Other Items.

Berlin, last night, took on the ap- parance of miniature Venice when the heaviest rain in months flooded the streets from curb to curb and made the dirt roads impossible. The downpour kept up steadily from dusk until about 10 o'clock and in he time the storm continued, one
 continual sheet of rain drummed town on this place, swelling small dreams into rivers and causing many washouts on roads in this vii cinity.
 Serious damage was done to roads n Kensington, as whole shoulders for long stretches were washed away by the flood. The underpass at Berlin station did not fill up as is has previously and residents of this place are praising the action at work immediately before the start of the rain, clearing away mud and rubbish and effecting a clear passage for the water that sluiced down into the depression. One spot just beyond the underpass, where a broken water main was recently re- paired, became mud hole because of the fact that the workmen had filled up the excavation with dirt after they had finished the job. One car stuck in the mud there and had to be toNed from the spot. Outside l.. eto motor nishaps reported.
 Crops suffered from the storm, corn on the stalk being beaten to the grouni by the rain. This, combined with he recent storm that also did great damage to the corn, has dis coursged the farmers about here in reference to good sized crop this year There have been excessive rain storms in this vicinity during the past month that have been in- iunous to all products in the field ani it is hoped by local farmers that last nights cloudburst was the , l of wet weather for some time to come. @ ,,enson Denies Candidacy
 Oscar Benson, of East Berlin, whose friends recently announced heir intention of forwarding him as A candidate for legislature from this district, today issued the statement that he is not in the race for the position and would not accept the nomination if rendered to him. MT. Benson gave as his reason the Tact f thats business would not allow him to give the time that the campaign would require and asked that his refusal of the honor be published to inform those who had his nom ination in view.

APPROVAL IS GIVEN
TAXLAW CHANGES
Senate Subcommittee Favors
Shift in Payment Dates to
Earlier in Year.

Proposed legislation changing the
time for the semi-annual payment of
taxes in Washington from November
and May to September and March and
making a number of other adjust
ments in the assessment law, was ap-
proved yesterday afternoon by the
judiciary subcommittee of the Senate
District committee, headed by Senator
Jones of Washington.
The proposal to have taxes paid
earlier in the fiscal year is part of the
plan to enable the city to have a suffi
cient cash balance in the Treasury to
pay its expenses monthly as they
arise.
Congress decreed in 1922 that within
five years the District government
should prepare itself to get on cash
going basis and since that time the
Commissioners have been accumulat-
ing a surplus to serve as a cash work
ing fund. Since 1922, however, the
city's annual budget has increased to
such an extent that the surplus con-
1smplated by the city heads of $1,000
BOO would not be large enough and
they have recommended payment of
taxes at an earlier date.
The Senate, in passing the District
appropriation bill this year, took
another step to help the District get
on cash basis by providing that the
SO 900 900 contribution of the Federal
Government be made available on the
first day of the fiscal year.
The judiciary subcommittee also ap-
proved yesterday a bill giving the
Juvenile Court jurisdiction over non
support and abandonment cases.

that 1925 WIS a successful year for
the company. Net income was high
