CEMENT TO REDUCE
ASSESSMENT RATE
Commissioners Plan Action
Due to Margin in Buying
and Selling.

Because OF the margin between the
price at which the District is able to
buy cement and the price at which it
furnishes the cement to contractors en-
gagged in laying sidewalks and alleys,
the Highway Division today recon-
mended TO the Commissioners that a
part of this margin be deducted in
levyinS assessments against property
owners for sidewalks and alleys.
In the case of sidewalk construction
the deduction will he at the rate of
10 cents per square yard. and for
alleys credit of IL cents per square
yard will be allowed.
The recommendation Of the highway
division was approved and is in ac-
cordance with recOmmen dation Just
made by the Bureau of Efficiency.
The report of the Bureau of Efficiency
states that under the present proce.
dure cement used for sidewalk and
alley construction is purchased by the
District and issued 10 the contractors
engaged in the work at fixed price
Of S2.75 per barrel.
During the fiscal year 1928, the re.
port continues, the District will be
able to buy cement for a fraction more
than S2.l2 per barrel.
The highway division estimated that
10 cents per barrel would cover the
cost of handling and cents per bar
rel would cover the cost incident 70
purchasing and accounting. making
total outlay Of S226 per barrel, and
leaving net credit of 40 cents per
barrel.
This credit would be at the rate of
10 cents square yard for sidewalk
work ana j. cents square yard for
illey construction. and under the order
approved today these deductions will
be made in computing the assessment
against the abutting property owners

LOS ANGELES, August 16.-The
Los Angeles Times today says many
famous film stars will go into total
eclipse soon If a new economy plan
under formation by motion picture
producers goes into effect. The new
plan, learned on excellent authority,
although denied by producers with
vehemence, provides for the replace
ment of present day stars with stars
brought up from the film ranks to
work at smaller salaries.
A number of secret meetings have
been held at which the problem of
cutting salaries has been discussed
The recent attempt to cut the salaries
of all employees in the business hay
ing failed, it was said the only meth :
cd left for trial is the replacement of
many high-priced stars.
Production Curtailed.
Under the new system. which it is
claimed will go into effect as soon as
an ironclad agreement can be ar
ranged, all existing contracts with
stars will be carried out. After these
contracts are up, however. the pro-
ducers will refuse to hire the now
famous stars at their old salaries and
will produce without them if they do
not ACCEPT a small salary
In the interim production schedules
have been curtailed slightly. Also
young and comparatively unknown
players will be brought to the front
and will be exploited, so that within
a year they may take the places of
the present day screen stars.
Two obstacles stand in the way of
the efficient carrying out of the plan.

Believing that scant attention has
been received from the more than 400
male delegates, who have not given
one of them chance to speak, the
women met in private in their hotel
and drew up their statement.
Addressing her sisters, one Of the
feminine delegates asserted i'm forceful
terms that, whereas more women than
men went to church and that the
women did most of the work in the
churches, the men occupied all the
places on the boards.
The four woman delegates from the
United States are Miss Margaret
