CHARW0M ORDERED

Controller General McCarI Rules
That Annual Wage System
Must Be Changed.

Beginning tomorrow charwomen who
clean the District Court House must be
paid on an hourly instead of an annual
basis, as heretofore, according to ruling
of Controller General McCarl, made
public today.
McCarl, in a decision forwarded TO
United States Marshal E. C. Snyder,
found fault with the manner in which
the charwomen are now being paid, cit
appearing that as to certain of the en-
ployes the annual rate was computed on
the basis Of As cents per hour and as
to others on the basis of so cents per
hour, the number of hours work not
being shown" McCarl also charged
payment was being made for holidays
when no work was done.
Marshal Snyder explained that the
charwomen work irregular hours, the
number depending upon when court adj
journs and the judges leave the bench,
and "for this reason it would be inn
practicable to maintain record of their
work on an hourly basis"
McCarl, nevertheless, held that Sny-
der was wrong and ordered that Begin
ming october the charwomen be paid
according to terms of the classification
act, so cents an hour for part-tt1ne
workers and IS cents for head char
women, with an hourly record uAin-

Washington and nearby Virginia and
Maryland who drew on the District for
their supply during the fiscal year ended

showed the total consumption for the

expected that by the end of 1896 all

registering meters will be replaced or
repaired. Eighty-six underground leaks
discharging a total of 1871 900 gallons
per day were detected and repaired.

Questioned at police headquarters
early today after he had reported being
robbed of his taxicab and 81, Eddie
