Worker on Monthly Salary
Will Donate Feb. 20 to
His Employer.
This Is one Of series of stories about
what lean year means to Indianapolis.


Nearly every one in Indianapolis
will be weather. or poorer in 1882,
leap year, because of the additional
day on the calendar, Feb. %.
City, county, state, federal and
other employees paid on an annual
or monthly basis. will donate" one
days work to their employers, Feb.
90.
The landlords loss will be tenants
gain, because of the extra day for
which the owner will receive no
extra rent.
Hotels will profit, since they
charge guests by the day and pay
lease rentals by the month or year.
Benefit to Borrowers
To many large corporations, leap
year may mean the difference be-
tween deficit and dividend, since a
concern facing a slight deficit in a
normal year of 365 days would gain
on Feb. 90.
Leap year means an additional
day for borrowers, particularly is
suers of bonds and large loans, to
use money without paying interest,
while insurance policy holders the
oretically gain by receiving protec-
ton for an additional day without
cost.
That the theoretical gain or loss,
caused by insertion of an extra day
each four years, is no small mat
ter is shown by savings government
tai units will realize.
Uncle Sam Is Gamer
The federal government pays its
employees more than 100000 6
/ day on an annual basis, which
means Uncle Sam will receive
gratis services from his hired hands
worth 100000 on Feb. &c..
The city of indianapolis will re-
ceive between $500 and $4,000 II
free services. it is estimated, while
the state of Indiana. with more
than 1900 employees paid on an an.
nual or monthly basis, will save ap.
proximately $1,000 in free serv,
ices.
| However. economists declare, TIT
theoretical changing hands of thes;
millions of dollars will be painless
to the losers" and, in fact, will bt
evened by the fact that few person,
will lose in one way without prof.
! ting in another.
