 Desires Uniform Classification
 Financial statistics of the cities having a population of over 30,000 have been collected since 1903. but because of the diversified account ing systems in the 25O cities in this class, it is still necessary to have agents visit most of the cities to pre- pare the report.
 The bureau Of census advocates a smple, logical, and comprehensive classification of accounts. the use of which would permit obtaining read lily accurate and comparable data. It requires only that the accounting official segrcsate receipts and pay ments under proper headings, show ing the sources of revenue and the objects of expenditure. This can be done in any city without changing the present system of accounting. The cooperation of city officials in establishing a uniform classification of accounts would make it possible for the bureau. without greatly in creasing expenditures, to collect sta tistics on this important subject for practically all cities in the United States.

 "Martha.' she exclaimed eager ly Martha MGriha! Is that 3ou?"
 And then the old familiar voice, but in anxious tones, answered her:

RETIREMENT BILL
is SENT TO HOOVER
President Expected to Sign
Dale-LehIbach Plan
Tomorrow.

President Hoover is expected to afiix
his signature to the Dale-Lehlbach bill
!iberalizing the retirement act for Fed
cral employees tomorrow morning at IL
o'clock.
The signing of this popular legislation
will be marked by ceremony, which
will include the presence of the CO.
authors of the bill and officers Of the
Federation of Federal Employees.
The bill was sent from the Capitol
to the White House late yesterday and
was this morning sent by the President
to the director of the budget for q
review and report, and later during
the day to the Secretary of the Interior
who administers the act. 1t is under
stood that both of these officers had
completed their review shortly after
noon and that their respective reports
would be sent to the White House late
today or early tomorrow morning.
President Hoover has been repre-
sented as favoring the legislation and
there is every reason to feel that he
will sign it, thereby making 1t law
unless the reports from the director
of the budget and the Secretary of the
Interior of such nature as to change
his views. This latter, however, is
thought to be highly improbable.
