much discussed new German battle
cruiser with the inscription: Eighty
million marks for a cruiser, but not
a penny for feeding children; and
bullets for the unemployed"
The total Of dead in the disorders
which began May day was at least
ten today with the likelihood that
twelve, or even more may have
been killed. Seven were killed dur
ing May day disturbances and two
OF those wounded on that day died
in hospitals this afternoon.
Last night further disorders
broke out in the communist Sec
ton Of Neu';oelln. One man Is
known to have been killed in the
fighting while two others were re-
ported to have been killed but to

ors on Hermannstrasse where fight
ing took place last night. The po-
lice threw a heavy Gordon around
the section and waited for day
light. But this morning the COM
munistS had disappeared. The Sec
ton was under strict police patrol
today and presented q scene Of de-
struction.

covering revenues and governmental
cost payments the difference between
the contribution by the Federal Gov
eminent and the tax computed on this
basis is shown as subvention from the
United States. The computation of the
amount of the Federal Governments
contribution in lieu of taxation was con-
sidered necessary to establish tax data
for Washington that would be COM
parable with those of the other cities.
The valuations of Federal property
used in the second section for Wash
ington, D. c., of the schedules were
determined as follows:
For real property the valuations of
the assessor of the District of Columbia
were used. The valuation of the Fed
eral real property other than park
property and property used exclusively
for the benefit of the District of Column
bia. amounts to $320751, 015 for the
fiscal year 1923. This includes no
ACQUISITIONS in connection with the new
Federal building program; since this
activity did not really get under way
until the fiscal year 1929.
For the valuation of tangible personal
property each department and indie
pendent establishment of the Federal
Government furnished statement OF
its holdings within the District of Co
lumbia as of June 80, 1928. The total
valuation, after sealing down all ma
chinery, equipment and furniture items
