no limit to its useful life." the report
states in this connection, mo such lin
itation as to the life of the bonds is
required as in the case of bonds issued
for roads and buildings"
Payments of principal on the total
bond issue would be approximately
$4,000 year from 1888 to 1888 and
$4,000 a year thereafter, as against
the safety limit recommendation of
$4,000 year for the first period and
$85 900 a year for the second period,
the report shows.
1888 No Exception.
TT is obvious" the report states,
that the recommended standards of
safety as to annual payments of prir-
cipal have been substantially observed
for every year except 1898. However,
this is not really an exception, for a
payment of $4,000 is made in 1882, no
payment being specified by the fedora
ton for that year. The total of the
payments on principal prior to the end
of 1888 is 5000 or $4,000 more than
required by the federation's schedule"
The report was prepared by the COM
mittee of which Frederic P. Lee is
chairman. Signing the report are Mr..
Lee, w. B. Armstrong, Robert E.
Bondy, L. H. Christie, John A. Dick
inson, John A. p Farnham, c. A. Kor-

REPORT SAYS BOND
SAFETY OBSERVED
Montgomery Issues Adhere to
Recommended Standards,
Federation Asserts.

BETHESDA, Md, November g.
Standards of safety for Montgomery
County bond issues as recommended by
the Montgomery County Civic Fedora
ton have been substantially observed,
a report of the Committee on Public
Finance and Budget of the Federation,
approved at a meeting of the COM
mittee at the University Club In Wash
ington last night, shows. This report
will be presented to the federation
meeting to be held here Monday night.
The recommendations of the fedora
ton, which the report shows have been
substantially observed, are that bonds
should be in serial form. the last series
to mature not later than 80 years from
the date of issue in case of road, school
or public building bonds: that payments
of principal on the total bond issue
authorized by the Maryland Legislature
for the county for 1881, 1882 and 1888
should be substantially as follows: 1888
to 1885, $4,000 year and thereafter
$85 900 year, and that the aggregate
amount of bonds outstanding at any
one time should not exceed approx
mately 10 per cent of the accessible
values Of the county at the time.
10 Per Cent of Value.
The total amount of outstanding
long term bonded indebtedness of the
county is $7,136 700, the report shows,
while the assessible basis of tangible
real and personal property for 1881
is $84.558,190, making the amount OF
the bonds less than 10 per cent OF the
assessible value of the property.
There still remains to be issued in
1882 and 1888 under the authorizations
of the 1881 Legislature $1,089000 in
bonds, the report states, which when
issued will bring the total long-term
bonded Indebtedness to $8,225, 700,
which the report shows will still be
under the 10 per cent safety limit set.
All of the bonds issued are in serial
form, the report states. While one OF
the issues is for term of 80 years, the
report continues, which is longer than
the 30-year provision recommended,
the proceeds of these bonds are to be
used solely for the purchase of land
and not for the construction of build
ings. "Inasmuch as land usually has

Mr.. Orr said.

Under its interstate permit the new

cause of this the Alexander-W Washington

In view of the possible abandonment
OF the Mount Vernon, Alexandra q
Washington Railway between this city
and Washington because OF its in
ability to obtain new terminal north
of PENNSYLVANIA avenue, the announce
ment of additional bus service between
Virginia and the District is being well
coined as a possible solution OF the
present transportation situation.
In taking Mr.. Orr's application for a
route through Alexandria under con-
sideration, council advised him of the
possibility that all BUSES here would be
rerouted oil King street to relieve the
present congestion on Alexandrla's main
street. Orr stated that If the present
bus company was rerouted, the use OF
less 'congested streets would be agree
able to him.
Application has also been made to
the District Utilities Commission for

Key Witness in Thorne Death
Declared Found by
Officers.

UPPER MARLBORO. Md, November
6.-As the sheriff's office, relieved Of
court routine by the conclusion of the
october term, renewed its investigation
Prochanzka of Greater Capitol Heights,
who is charged with the murder, an
nounced through his attorney that he
would wait until November Is before
asking that the warrant against him
be withdrawn.
Prochanzka is scheduled for a hear
ing before Justice of Peace Thomas D.
Griffith on that date, and his attor-
ney, Arthur G. Keefer, Is confident the
charge will be dismissed then. Pro-
chanzka is at liberty on his personal
bond.
New Witness Located.
AS Sheriff w. Curtis Hopkins and
Chief Deputy Thomas H Garrison re-
newed their investigation, they an
nounced new witness had been 10
Gated in Maryland city and would be
questioned today or tomorrow. This
witness, a woman is said to hold the
key to the identity of the murderer.
An arrest before the week end is also
predicted by Garrison.
The deputy says he has convinced
Washington police his theory that the
same person who killed Emmanuel
Thorne, U. S. Marine, also murdered
Beulah Limerick, is correct. District
detectives also agree with his belief that
the Limerick girl was murdered In
Maryland, he declarei.
Crime Reconstructed on Theory.
As Garrison now reconstructs the
crime, a man who was jealous Of
Thorne attended a party with him and
the Limerick girl in Capitol Heights on
December 81, 1880. On the way back
to Washington Thorne. the murderer,
the Limerick girl and others we're rid
ing in the same automobile when the
man fired a shot at Thorne, but hit
Beulah Limerick by mistake.
The girl believed she would recover
and was taken home instead of to a
hospital. However. she died during the
night. Deputy Garrison believes the
murderer then waited about two weeks
before killing Thorne.

For Moon is learning to walk by

of a husky grandchild, FTisky, she can
even travel the uneven gravel roads
