PER DIEM EMPLOYEES
PAY is MADE ISSUE
Commissioners Want Ruling on
Right to Compensate Them for
Christmas Eve Holiday.

The District Commissioners TODAY
wrote to Controller General McCarl to
ask whether it would be legal to nav
per diem employees in the District serv-
ice for the holiday last Christmas eve,
decreed by executive order. The per
diem employees were not permitted TO
work either Christmas eve or Christ
mas day, but received pay for Christ
mas day since that day is a regular
legal holiday. They received no pay for
Christmas eve because Of the doubt as
to whether a holiday declared by ex-
ecutive order would class for pay pur-
poses the same as legal holiday. The
same situation existed with reference
to the per diem workers in the Navy
Yard, but they were given pay for both
days.
''The question presented" the Com
miSsioners wrote, whether the execu-
tive order of December is, 1880, de-
claring December "a, 1880, to be q
holiday, should extend that privilege
Ito receive pay) to the per diem en-
ployes Of the District Of Columbia. In
view OF the fact that per diem en-
ployes of the Navy Yard were granted
leave of absence with pay, 1t Is be-
neved that the same privilege should
extend to per diem employees Of the Dis
tr1ct OF Columbia for December "a,
1890, and for such other days as NAV
be declared holidays by executive order,
Your early decision In the matter would
be appreciated"

NEW PARKWAY BILL
OFFERED BY PAIR.
Capper- Cramton Measure
Will Provide for Purchase of
Lands in Memorial System.

Immediate purchase by the Federal
Government Of certain strategic pieces
OF land and development at the Federal
expense of several important features of
the George Washington Memorial Park
way are authorized in a bill introduced
in the House today by Representative
Louis Cramton of Michigan and in the
Senate by Senator Capper. This legis-
lation has the complete Endorsement
and support of the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission. It pro-
poses to amend that part of the act of
May 20, 1880, having to do with the
creation Of the George Washington Me-
mortal Parkway.
Representative Cramton explained to-
day that it Is intended to meet am
biguitieS and uncertainties that have
been found by the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission under
the actual operation of the law. It also
enables the commission TO meet special
emergencies that have arisen.
Clarifies Boulevard Situation.
at clarifies the situation as to the
Mount Vernon Memorial Boulevard after
completion, and makes clear the nature
of guarantees of reimbursement that
can be accepted" said Mr.. Cramton.
1T specially provides for q park drive
from the Arlington Memorial Bridge to
the Chain Bridge on the Virginia side.
1t assures construction Of a highway at
Federal expense on the Maryland side
from the District line to Fort Wash
ington If the necessary lands to consti-
tute the highway are donated to the
United States.
ut also authorizes not more than
100000 to be expended by the United
Stats for payment IN full of the pur-
chase price of land absolutely essential
and necessary to the parkway, such
expenditure, however, to be matched by
subsequent donations, and definitely
reiterates the policy of, the original
bill-that the total expenditure by the
Federal Government for acquisition of
lands in the George Washington Memo
rial Parkway shall not exceed so per
cent of the total cost, the balance to be
furnished by the States of Virginia and
Maryland, local subdivisions thereof, or
by individuals
Provides tor Emergencies.
"This authority to make certain initial
purchases to be matched later by equal
private donations" Mr.. Cramton an
phaSized, els to enable the commission
to make purchases where some pressing
emergency may exist, either because a
particularly favorable opportunity for
purchase Is offered or to forestall some
highly expensive or undesirable de-
velopment."
1.-The belief is 50 general that the
acquisition and dedication of this park
way will be the most fitting and ap-
permanent action TO COM
memorate the bicentennial Of Wash
ington's birth in connection with the
National Capital that passage Of this
bill will no doubt receive general ap-
proval as an important aid In the rapid
development of the George Washing
