j. S. WORKERS GET
7-CENT MILEAGE
McCarI Sets Standard Rate
of Reimbursement for
Private Autos.

Government employees using their
own automobiles under official authori-
zation on Government business shall
be reimbursed not more than cents
a mile, according to Controller General
McCarl.
McCarl thus interpreted the act of
February IA, 1881, as general legisla-
ton controlling all departments and
establishments, regardless Of specific
appropriation acts which we're enacted
afterward and which, in some cases,
allow higher rates.
In the Department of Agriculture
for instance, McCarl pointed out in
his decision to the Director of the Bu-
reau Of the Budget, as high as 10 cents
mile is authorized to be spent, and
the independent Offices appropriation
act also includes travel at official sta
tons. The budget director pointed to
several differences in reimbursement.
1T is only reasonable to conclude, .
said McCarl, that the clear intent OF
the Congress was to provide a uniform
law applicable to all departments and
establishments of the government, and
TO repeal all special provisions appear
ing in the appropriation acts for the
fiscal year, 1882. even though enacted
subsequent to February IA, 1881, the
date Of the general act, as well as any
other law or regulation to the extent
that the provisions thereof are in con-
fict with the terms of the general law"
It is indicated that regulations on the
matter will be issued by the President.
The maximum per mile for automobiles
Will be seven cents a mile, and for mo-
torcycle three cents per mile.

.REROUT|NG OF BUS
LINE IS OPPOSED
Traction Companies Declare
= Street Car Service in Zone
Is Adequate.

Efforts of the Washington Rapid
Transit Co. to have a downtown bus
line rerouted were opposed by the trac-
ton companies today at hearing be-
fore the Public Utilities Commission.
Attorneys for the transit company
insisted population shifts demanded
that they reroute a bus line which now
extends from Twenty-third and 3
streets to H street and Pennsylvania.
They sought permission to operate the
buses in the rear of the White House
and along Pennsylvania avenue to
Twelfth street, up Twelfth street to K,
and along K to Twentieth street, instead
Of along K and streets as at present.
The transit company also pointed out
this service was inaugurated several
years ago for the convenience of Gov
eminent clerks employed in the NUM-
tons Building and other offices in that
area.
Representatives Of the Capital Trac-
ton Co. declared adequate street car
service had been provided in the terri
tory involved since 1901. They argued
it would be unfair to the street car
companies to grant the change in the
route.
Counsel for the Washington Railway
and Electric Co. also objected to the
rerouting. They said the proposed new
route would involve dangerous turns.

Col. Paddock served in Sitka, Alaska,
after his graduation, which was but q
short time after the Alaskan purchase
The majority of Sitka's inhabitants at
that time were Russian and the colonel
still remembers much of the language

Although it has been customary in
recent years for West Point classes to
