American cities are considering re-
forms in their methods of tax col
i lection. One proposal is that taxes
should be collected in three or four
installments instead Of two. Another
is to divide the municipality into blocks.
and levy the rates at different times, on
different blocks. The main purpose OF
both plans is to insure steady flow OF
revenue throughout the year. rather
than a big rush at one period and
complete SUoppsge at another.
Rate payers would probably welcome
such reforms in this country. Irish
local bodies now pay large sums in in
terest on ovcrdrafts because their cof-
fers are exhausted while rates are over
due. The system of paying in one or
two installments began when local rates
were almost Negligible; now the rate
payer would welcome spread-over.
There is at present no inducem2nt to
pay up promptly because the local bod
les. not being business concerns, give no
discount. In any case, this cumbersome
arrang7 cement by which the community
maintains a large and well-paid army
Of rate collectors and tax-collectors who
merely act as conduit pipes to pass on
the cheques is antiquated and absurd
There is no reason why income tax and
rates should not be paid like other ac-
counts without the intervention of we'll
paid officials whose work is mainly
clerical.

Lack OF Watches
Causes Soviet Wrecks.

Evening Times. Glasgow dispatch
from Moscow The lack OF watches
in Soviet pockets is partially blamed
by the Transport Union for recent
railway disasters.
No wonder officials declare that Sc
ricus wrecks occur. that trains are often
la and the transportation system as a
whole suffers from lack OF coordination
when guards, pointsmen and even en-
gine drivers cannot determine whether
they ere operating their trains accord
ing to the time table.
To meet the situstion the union, act.
ing in concert With the commiSSariat Of
transport, tried for some months the
experiment of issuing watches to men
as they went on duty and having them
turned in at the close Of work so they
would be available for the next shift.
This proved unsatisfactory, chiefly
becau-e the watches were not given
sufficient care.
Now the union has called on the
commiesariat of supply, which is re-
sponsible for the production of such ar

that were offered earlier in the day by
Senator John w. Rust of Fairfax
County to the George Washington
Memorial Parkway bill, the principal
one of which was that 1t included the
Mount Vernon estate, were overcome last
night in the Senate General Laws Com
mittee, and the bill was reported out
The committee also favorably reported
the bill amending the Ball park and
planning act.
Senator Rust yesterday called atten-
tion to the fact that the bill as drawn
provided that the southern boundary
of the proposed parkway should be the
south line of the Mount Vernon estate.
This was changed by an amendment
which made the north line Of the estate
the boundary.
Had the bill been permitted to 90
through as passed by the House, Sena-
tor Rust declared, It would have per-
mltted the State Conservation and De-;
velopment Commission, If it so desired,
10 condemn the former home of George
Washington and turn 1t over to the
United States.
While the bill was introduced Jointly
by Delegates Hugh Reid of Arlington
County, Edmund H. Allen OF Fairfax
County and J. Fred Birrell Of Alex
andria, it was actually prepared in the
offices of the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, it was said Sena-
tor Rust declared that the inclusion Of
Mount Vernon in the proposed park
way would probably have resulted in the
refusal of the Fairfax County authori-
ties to participate in any way.
Among amendments which have been
agreed to by the patrons, is one which
will protect the rights of the communi-
ties with respect to crossing the pro-
posed parkway WITH sewerage and nat
ural drainage lines and with any roads
that might be found necessary in reach
ing the various bridges connecting the
District of Columbia and Virginia. An
other amendment which was agreed to
yesterday would permit any county not
voting to come IN at first to do SO at a
later date If it so desired.
The bill amending the Ball park and
planning act to make 1t workable was
reported out of committee without
further amendments. The bill had been
drawn to conform with the desires of
the officials Of Arlington and Fairfax
Counties and the City of Alexandria

PAVING IS DECIDED

BY GEORGE PORTER,

MOUNT RAINIER. Md. March 10
Following conference with J. Enos
Ray. Prince Georges County political
leader the State Roads Commission
yesterday decided to pave the center OF
Rhode Island avenue here, ask the
street car company to remove the poles
TO the side Of the road and widen the
avenue from Mount Rainier through
Brentwood to Hyattsville.
The paving OF the center Of the ave-
nue. will eliminate the death trap" at
the District line caused by open street
car tracks.
The cost Of the paving, estimated at
$50, 900, will be borne by the State, the
money being 'apportioned from the re-
construction and widening portion Of
the State gasoline tax fund.
The Washington Railway & Electric
Co. also will be asked to relay its tracks,
it was said.

center of Rhode Island avenue. Roads
Commission officials said similar work
had been done on the Frederick road
adjacent to Baltimore City and on Wis
consin avenue, Bethesda.
The avenue will be widened as much
as the present right of way permits

was to prevent a disgruntled few fror,
obligating any county to the expenxe
of an election when there are few vot-
ers who see the necessity for such
action.
The Senate eliminated an amendment,
by Delegate Bandy of the House ner-
mitting the State Highway Commission
to turn over to the counties l1nusued
road funds for use in retiring county
road bonds.
Exemption Provided.
An amendment by Senator E i
Harvey of Pittsylvania County proyid-
ing that towns in counties which have
road bonds should be exempt from road
levies If the citizens of the town had
not voted for the issue, was adopted
Senate patrons of the bill do not
anticipate much opposition to their
amendments when the bill is returned
to the House.
The bill requires the highway system
to take over between 10000 and SO 600
miles of county roads and will prohibit
all counties except those with suburban
street systems from laying a road lew
The latter, in which are Included
Arlington and the counties adjacent to
Richmond and Norfolk. would be allowed
to lay levy only for the purpose of
caring for streets that their representa-
tives feared would be too numerous to
receive proper care from the State.
