TAX PAY
RUSH

Tax collection machinery of
the District Government was
oiled today to handle the last
minute rush of taxpayers and
to take more than $11, 100000
into the city's treasury.

taxes, and Assessor William P. Rich
ards issued warnings today that

taxes for 1929 are paid before Mon.
day a fine of 1 per cent of the
bill will be imposed on tardy

A. m. Saturday and will remain
open until $50 p. m, to receive
payments from taxpayers who post.
poned tax bills until the last
minute.

1nlS conclusion was reached ny
the Bureau after a detailed study
of more than 500 families of Fed,
eraI workers in Baltimore. Boston,
New York, Chicago and New
Orleans.
A report on the survey has been
submitted to Congress and will ne
used when Congress resumes con
sideration Of Government pay levels.
The survey included families con-
sisting of a husband and wife and
at least one dependent trying to
live on government salaries Of less
than $4,000 year.
"It is evident" the bureau re-
ported, that the Government EN-.
plOyes with salaries under 50, 800
are generally unable to maintain
their families on the Government
salaries they receive. or at least un-
willing to endure the deprivatio
necessary so to live.

sources, the majority of these fam
