PROTESTS FREE PARKING
OF MACHINES IN STREETS
Garage Owner Sees Threat of Tax.
payers Strike in Letter to
Commissioners.

Frank E. Altemus. local garage owner,
has written to the District Commission
ers in protest against free use Of our
streets for storage of automobiles" He
predicted taxpayers strike" unless
conditions are corrected.
His letter follows, in part: ANY one
who buys a $40 wreck gets practically
a free title, with no taxes to pay and
space large enough to store it in. Here
we have the spectacle of property the
taxpayer maintains in direct competi-
ton with the empty garages he is COM
PEELED to pay taxes on.
Last month I received for 81 single
garages only S65. This amount will not
pay taxes. repairs, water and electricity.
My son has only three garages rented
out of 81. What is to become of prop
erty made worse than useless by this
unfair competition? No other city I
know of is as lax in this respect.
IT own one large garage, capacity, $50
cars The tenant has an average OF
about 10 storage customers This build
ing is costing me about 5000 per month
for the privilege Of owning it. How can
I pay taxes on this empty space. and
how can the city government justly
take from one class and give it to an
other? Hundreds of property owners
are now in great distress. If this mat
ter is not corrected now you are surely
coming to taxpayers strike"

WARMER WEEK END
WEATHER is SEEN
Mercury Hits 43 Degrees Last
Night for Lowest Point
of the Season.

Warmer weather is forecast for the
week end.
Last nights minimum temperature
43 degrees, struck a new low for the
season, and tonight's probably will be
around that figure, or little lower,
Weather Bureau forecasters said. How
ever, the weather will begin warming
up slowly tomorrow, and Sunday p-ob
ably will be fair and warmer, the bu-
reau said
Yesterdays highest temperature was
SIS degrees, but with reading of 54 at
10 am. indications were it would go
higher today. A brisk northwest wind.
blowing steadily since the rain ceased
yesterday morning. has done its part
to make the weather feel cooler, as
well as to lower the humidity.
The drenching rains. which ended
yesterday, ended drought almost COM
parable to that in 1880, Weather Bureau
observers said.
Rainfall of from one to four inches
over North Carolina, Virginia, West
Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania
was the first general precipitation since
June, and was said by j. B. Kincer,
chief of the agricultural meteorology
division, to have definitely broken the
back of the prolonged dry spell.
The rainfall was heaviest in the Dis
trict, the nearly four inches being the
greatest october precipitation in SO
years.
Kincer said the rain came too late
to help most of the crops, which, in
some sections along the seaboard, were
destroyed. However, he expected 1t to
relieve pastures and prepare the ground
for Winter wheat planting.
The 1880 drought was not broken
until the Spring Of 1881. This years
dry spell was described as equally bad
during the Summer months, but Winter
and Spring rains, which were lacking in
1880, had filled the subterranean streams
this year, limiting drainage.

Decision in Geological Survey
Case Is Vigorously Pro-
tested by Wilbur.
FURL0UGH DEDUCTIONS
APPLY TO ENTIRE PAY
Controller General Limits Exemp-
tions to Those Receiving No Fed
eral Wage in Cooperative Work.

Over vigorous protest by Secretary of
the Interior Wilbur. Controller General
McCarl today ruled that economy act
deductions Of l3 per cent must be
taken from salaries of employees Of the
Geological Survey even though part OF
their pay comes from State funds.
Secretary Wilbur had filed protest
with McCarl declaring his opinion tc
be that the Federal Government hac
no right to reduce that part of an EN-.
ploye'S salary which was paid by fund.-
from State
In applying the economy act, how
ever. McCarl decided that the only en-
ployes who could be exempted from
ciflc section of the act involved were
those whose total compensation was
paid from State funds.
States Share Not Cut.
In other words, McCarl declared.
the cost to the State Ior that part
Of cooperative work represented by
the compensation Of Federal officers or
employees as defined in the economy act
has not been reduced by the provisions
of that statute, and it should not be
considered that State funds are being
impounded"
Secretary Wilbur had contended
strongly that the Federal Government
had no such right Whatever method
is pursued" said Mr.. Wilbur, those
portions of the salaries OF the survey
representatives engaged In cooperative
work that are paid finally from the
Federal Treasury are unqueStionably
subject to an Sls per cent deduction
with corresponding leave without pay,
while those portions Of the salaries of
survey representatives engaged in CO.
operative work that are paid finally
from State treasures appear not to be
subject to the 8la per cent deduction
imposed by the economy act upon
Federal salaries"
To this contention, however, McCarl
disagreed.
Secretary Wilbur declared that "it
would not appear appropriate TO tur-
lcugh an employe or to make a CORE
spending deduction from his salary for
that part of his time during which he
is being paid from funds whose ultimate
source is a State appropriation, even
though, for fiscal convenience. payment
for that part of his time is first made
from a Federal appropriation which is
later reimbursed by the State. 1t would
seem to follow that the only furloughs,
the only paid deductions, and conse-
quently the only money to be i'm
pounded would be those related to the
periods during which the employe, in
final effect as well as actually. is paid
from Federal funds. To do otherwise
would be to impound in the Federal
Treasury money appropriated by the
States for specific State purposes. a pro-
cedure to which the States surely can
not consent
Exemptions Limited
McCarl explained that the only way
in which the salaries of these people
could be exempted from both the de-
duction of salary. impounding of COM
pensation and restriction on leave Of
absence would be for their total COM
pensation" to come from the States.
The people involved, Secretary Will
bur explained, were engaged primarily
in topographic mapping and the study
Of water resources in cooperation with
the States.
