POLICE DISPUTE

The police department contro-

made conflicting reports of the
bonus army evacuation was de-
clared a "closed incident" today.
Brig. Gen. Pelham D. Glass
ford, superintendent, declined to
make public the explanations
submitted at his request by four
police inspectors, concerning
their reasons for submitting re-
ports, in conflict to his own, to
District and Department of JUS
tice officials.
Inspector o. T. Davis was first
called upon to explain why he
advised the Department of JUS
tice that difficulty had been
experienced in apprehending in
citers of the bonus army riots
because he said detectives had
not been permitted to circulate
among the marchers in diSaf-
fected areas.
Inspectors L. I. H. Edwards,
T. r. Bean and Ernest W..
Brown were asked why they told
the Commissioners they believed
the rioters had gotten beyond
police control and troops were
necessary to prevent bloodshed.

of the Potomac and of other
events subsequent to it. Traffic
officers blocked K Street, George
town, and later part of the

D. c. TAX FUNDS
PAID OUT FOR
SERVICES
Absence of City Debt Permits
All Revenue to Pay Completely
For Municipal Benefits

In announcing their initial
drive for economy in the Dis
trict government, more than a
year ago, the District Commits
sioners assured the people of
Washington that no economies
would be undertaken that
would tend to undermine the
efficiency of the schools, the
public health, or the protection
agencies-the fire and police
departments.
1t was recognized here from
the beginning that certain mu-
nicipal activities are essential to
the health and welfare of the
people, and that attempts to
skimp at the expense of a child's
education or at the cost of suit
able sanitary measures are un-
economic in every sense of the
word.
No Debt Interest
The tax dollar in the District
is expended more efficiently, PROB
ably, than that of any other
American city, according to Dis
trict officials who are intimately
concerned with the economy cam
paign, for they point out that
every dollar of tax raised here is
expended for municipal services,
and nothing goes to pay interest
on debts.
Washington, alone among large
American cities, has no funded
debt. The debts of certain cities
such as New York, Chicago and
Philadelphia, have risen to such
figures as to excite apprehension
of late; and in Detroit % cents
of every tax dollar goes to pay
interest on city debts.
Educational Bill
That means that Detroit must
tax its citizens one-fourth more
than the Washington taxpayer
pays to obtain the same results in.
municipal services.
The present District dollar is
spent very largely for the direct
benefit of the people of this city,
as careful tabulations of recent
date have shown.
For the fiscal year ended June
80, 1881. expenses of the District
for education amounted to 1922
per cent, almost a third of the
total. This percentage will prob
ably increase in the future, by
reason of the policy of the Dis
trict government to cut other
costs rather than those of the
schools.
Police Under Fire
The next largest item was for
protection, which took 1876 cents
out of every tax dollar. This, of
course, covers the expense of the
police and fire department. The
police, Of course are more criti-
cized than most District agencies,
and some taxpayers may feel
that here they are not getting
their moneys worth.
Costs of highways amounted
to 1872 cents of the tax dollar.
and public welfare costs to 1913
cents The latter figure, be-
cause of the widespread demands
for relief of late. will probably
increase this year at the ex-
pense of some other items.
Health and sanitation expenses
amounted to 9.5 cents out of
every dollar of tax, and recrea.
ton to To cents, a little less
than the cost of general govern
ment. which was rs cents. Pub
lie service enterprises cost 1.9
cents of each dollar, and mis-
cellaueous expense one-half cent.
