it.

COMMISSIONERS
SILENT ON BILL
FOR PAY RAISE
Donovan Comment on Capper
Measure Indicates That It
Is lnsuffiCiently Explicit

The district Commissioners to.
day refused, on the ground of
propriety, to comment on Sen
ator Capper's bill to raise theil
salaries to $4,000 a year. Their
letter to Capper, which is very
brief, states:
"As the bill Il one which is
personal to members OF the
Board, they would prefer net
to express any opinion as to
It's merits"
Attached to their letter to Sen
ator 'Capper is . lengthy state
ment from District Auditor Daniel
j. Donovan, who says:
''Under the circumstances
you will, i ann sure, appreciate
the position Of the present
Commissioners, ard win agree
that it would be embarrassing
TO them to have to report ON
this bill, particularly 50 soon
following the assumption BY
them Of their new offices.
For this reason, I am taking
the liberty Of sending you this
letter and I'm 80 doing ] am
acting ON my own judgment
ard responsibility"
Unofficial View
Donovan asked that the letter
be considered as an unofficial
and informal statement and that
it not be inserted In any commit
tee record.
He points out that the positions
Of the Commissioners for salary
purposes fall within the classifi
cation act. They had to start ai
$1,000 the minimum rate Of theil
grade and may promote them
selves to $500, the maximum Of
this grade, but no farther.
The Commissioners, he says
| have decided that they will mo-
at this time take any action to
ward getting the $500 increase.
The former Commissioners re
ceived $1,000 each by automati,
operation Of the WEIGH act, a!
that act was interpreted by tht
Comptroller General, Donovan
says. The Engineer Commissioner
receives q salary Of $1,000. from
the Army. and 81 800 paid him b.
the District Government.
Other Positions
Hence Col. william b. Ladue
who was on the previous Board
is now receiving 90, 900 and hi
colleagues $4,000, the entire sal
ary Of the latter two being paiC
by the District. This, however
does not include General Crosby
army pension.
Positions under the Commis
sioners carry higher or equal sal
aries, he points uot. The Corpo
ration Counsel is paid $1,000 {
year, and the Police Court
Judges, Public Welfare Director
Municipal Architect, Librarian o.
the Public Library and Auditor
are In the same grade.
A bill specifically naming thu
Commissioners salaries, whethel
it be at $1,000 or $4,000 Is tht
remedy Donovan suggests.
