TWO STRUCTURES
IN MALL DOOMED
Public Buildings Office Lacks
Funds to Longer Main
tain Them.

Two of the temporary buildings on
the Mall will have to be torn down this
Summer because the Office Of Public
Buildings and Public Parks lacks the
funds to maintain them, it was made
known today by Lieut.. Col. U. s. Grant.
Sd, the director. He said the Public
Buildings Commission joined him in
suggesting to Congress that this main
tenance money be eliminated as an
economy measure.
Which two of the Mall buildings to
be torn down depends upon arrange
ments to be made for housing properly
the personnel they now contain Col
Grant said the structures to be de-
molished probably will be either build
ings and G or F and D.
Plant Can't Carry Load.
The heating plant for the temporary
group of buildings in the vicinity Of
Sixth street and the Mall is unable to
carry the load much longer, Col. Grant
said. With two Of the wartime build
ings eliminated, he said, the heating
plant could handle the reduced load,
supplying other temporary buildings,
for another year or so.
Meanwhile the Public Buildings
Commission is preparing to bring about
another shift in Government personnel
fitting the workers into available space
Census Bureau to Move.
The Census Bureau, now housed in
one of the temporary buildings, will
be quartered in the new Commerce De-
partment Building, when the force be-
comes stabilized and has dwindled with
the leSsening Of the work of compiling
the decennial census. This will relieve
the space in the temporary building
and Agriculture Department personnel
now housed In the temporary structure
will likely go into the new Extensible
Building, now under construction IN
Southwest Washington.
Col. Grant is engaged in working
out satisfactory plan that will take
care OF the Encouragement of Govern
ment workers, so the two temporary
buildings may be demolished and the
Mall returned to its original status as
park property. Both the Fine Arts
Commission and the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission are
anxious to bring this about as soon as
practicable.

Again Explained.

With tomorrow midnight the last
chance to file income tax returns,
throngs of Washingtonians besieged the
local Office of the deputy collector, at
the Bureau of Internal Revenue today,
at Twelfth street and Constitution ave-
nue., but it was believed by observers
that the crowds were smaller than in
past years.
Officials would not comment on
whether this was probably due to the
depression. It was emphasized, how
ever, there is a large group of citizens
who will not have to pay any taxes, but
who must, under the law file an income
tax return anyway.

There is difference, it was ex-
planned, between persons liability for
filing return, and his liability for pay
ing tax.
Instructions on the return itself sx-
plain who must file a return. They
read: "An income tax return must be
filed by every citizen of the United
States whether residing at home or
abroad, and every person residing in
the United States, though not a citi-
zen thereof, having a gross income for
the calendar year 1881 of $4,000 or
over, or q net income for the same
period of (a) $500 or over, If single,
or II married and not living with hus-
band or wife, or Cb) S3,5O0 or over,
II married and living with husband on
wife, or (c) more than the personal
exemption If the status Of the tax
payer changes"
The return must be in the hands of
the collector of internal revenue for
this district, located at Baltimore: in
the local office of the deputy collector
In the Internal Revenue Building, or in
the mail in time to reach one Of these
offices before midnight tomorrow night.
Experts Stationed ut Banks.
One official warned that it would not
be considered legal for an income tax
return to be dropped into the mail to-
morrow night, just in time to receive
a post office stamp of the date of March
is. The letter should be mailed In time
to reach one of the Offices on or before
midnight, not after midnight.
At the deputy collectors office many
Government experts are available to
help citizens make out their returns.
