Times Staff Photo

Miss Lily Kaufer, Of Potomac,

DC. TAX REPORT
SHOWSERROR

Although the 1882 fiscal year
District tax collection figures re-
leased today by Tax Collector
Chatham M. Towers showed an
increase of $96O,817.S2 over last
year, there actually was a de-
crease of $39,182.18 in the col
lectionS.
This came about through an
error in the municipal book-keep-
ing system. A check was drawn
for $1,0OO,0OO as the first pay
menS to the Federal Government
under the Champion act for the
purchase of parkways. The check
went through the tax collectors
office and was credited as local
income where as it was actually
an expenditure.
Including the $1,00O,000 pay
ment, the total tax collection for
the 1882 year was $36, 1853 SAT .86
compared with 35,892, $1,000 for
last year, an increase" of $780,
817.82. However, less the million
dollar check, the 1882 collection
amounts to $35, ,647.86, a de-
crease Of $39,182.18 from last
year.

MOVING To CUT
is. RENTALS

Beginning of the new fiscal
year July / initiated a movement
here to reduce Government rental
payments on privately owned
quarters.
The division Of the General
Accounting Office, previously in
the Emory Building, now getting
settled in the former Patent
Office Building together with
the Civil Service Commission, will
cut Uncle Sans rent bill $12,5OO
q year.
A larger savings, however, $780,.
600 a year, will be effected by
moving the Federal Radio Com
mission from the National Press
Building into the Interior Build.
ing. Transferring the Federal
Board for Vocational Training
from the LenoX Building to the
Architects Building will save
$30.000..
The American Battle Monu-
ments Commission, hitherto in
the Investment Building, will have
to get along in the CONNER =,
Department Building and save
$4,000 rental. while giving up
two storage garages on Kalorama
Road and Canal Streets will save
$4,000.

RED CROSS AIDS
VET FAMILIES

Wives and children of bonus
marchers, who were left out of
account in the provision made by
Congress to get the B. E. F. out
of Washington and back to its
homes, will be aided to return by
the American Red Cross, it was
said at the headquarters of that
organization today.
The Red Cross has at all times
several representatives at the
Veterans Administration, and two
more have been assigned for the
present emergency situation. Con-
greSS has adopted legislation to
pay the fare of bonus marchers
to their homes and to provide
subsistence on the way, but many
Of the men here have their wives
and children with them.
Since these wives and children
cannot be transported on the
veterans appropriation, the Red
Cross is undertaking the job of
sending them home. If the Vet
Grams Administration approves
the application of a veteran FOR
transportation and subsistence,
the Red Cross pays the fare of
his wife and children.

Twenty thousand Small-mouth
bass fingerlings were placed in

near Occoquan Bay, Va, by
the Washington Chapter of
the Izaak Walton League of
