TO Be GIVEN
BY UTILITIES BODY
FurIoughs Adopted to Avoid
DiSmiSSaIS in Force OF
Commission.

Adoption of q system Of furloughs
for all regular employees Of the Dis
trict Public Utilities Commission will
avoid dismissal of any employees during
the next six months, Maj. Gen. Mason
M. Patrick, commission chairman, to-
day informed his staff.
Asking that the furlough plan be
adopted voluntarily, he estimated that
the leave without pay would not run
to more than days In any case The
furlough would be deferred until after
next January /.
The action was not included in the
statement released yesterday by the
District Commissioners announcing the
effects Of the economy measures upon
other District agencies.
Dismissals Avoided.
Due to reduction in the personnel
appropriation for the commission dis
missal of one or two clerks would be
necessary if the furlough plan had not
been invoked, Gen. Patrick said,
The furlough plan, however, will not
affect the jobs of two temporary en-
ployes. who already have been notified
they will be separated August when
two regular employees, now engaged in
valuation work and paid out Of assess
ments against utility concerns. will re-
turn to their regular status. These two
to go are Frank Buckley and Jack
Levin, attached to the Office of william
A. Roberts, special assistant corporation
counsel for the Utilities Commission.
Makes Funds Available.
The separation of Buckley and Levin
makes available suficient funds within
the personnel appropriation for the
commission to pay the salary Of James
Ring, rent investigator, which other
wise would not be available unless some
other temporary or regular employees OF
the commission were discharged OF un-
less a much heavier payless furlough
system were adopted. This latter
course, 1t Is understood at the District
building, could not have been followed
eniciently because of the great amount
of work now scheduled for the regular
employees of the commission.
Commission officials have denied the
appointment Of Mr.. Ring had anything
to do with the dismissal Of Buckley
and Levin, although they have said
generally that otherwise the commits
sion's appropriation would not have
been suficient to absorb the salary of
the rent investigator. Mr.. Ring Is being
paid at the rate Of t2.800 . year, less
Is per cent for the Sc0uomy act salary
reduction.

CONSIDERS PARK
SAVINGS DISPUTE
Treasury Department Care
fully Studies Receivership
Controversy.

The controversy between two groups
from the Park Savings Bank as to
which kind Of a receivership should be
placed in charge OF the bank Is being
given careful consideration by the
Treasury Department. The petition ask
ing for the Treasury Department to ap-
point a receiver, filed yesterday by DR..
Wade H. Atkinson is understood to
carry the names of many Of the direc.
tors, stockholders and some Of the
largest depositors in the bank. Dr.
Atkinson said today he and members Of
the three committees which joined in
filing the petition are busily engaged in
obtaining additional signatures to be
presented to the Treasury as a supple
mental list Of names to be added to
the original. This petition is under
stood to be opposed by the so-called
Depositors' Committee, headed by J. W.
Thompson, which is working toward
different plan, the nature of which
has not yet been disclosed in detail.
While members of the Thompson Com.
mittee decline to be quoted, it was un-
derstood from other sources, and they
desire to have receicer appointed by
the court
The directors group, which is said to
be supported by committees of stock
holders and depositors, claims that
receivership by the Treasury Depart
ment would cost much less than a re-
ceivership by the court
Dr. Atkinson said that a mass meet
ing of depositors soon will be called
to hear the plan for a Treasury re.
ceitership outlined. Such a receiver
ship, he emphasized, would be the very
bsst solution to the situation, and
would furnish the most prompt and
economical administration for the van
tage of the depositors."
Petition for Receiver.
The petition for a receiver was pre-
sented yesterday by Dr. Atkinson and
Mr.. Sobotka, representing the three
committee groups. They turned the pc
tition over to w. Irving Shuman, Treas
ury official, who is in charge of local
unlicensed bank affairs for the Govern
ment.
The petition asked the controller to
appoint receiver as soon as consistent
with the best interests of the depositorS.
