enlarging the membership of the

mustered quite some strength, he was
outvoted by the building trades bloc.

Austrian Leaders
In Rift On Form of
New Fascist State

VIENNA, Sept. 10. - Austrian
leaders appeared in disagreement
today as to the form of Fascism by
which the Austrian government
will complete it's dictatorial rule.
Prince Starhemberg, leader of
the Fascist Heimwehr (Home
Guard), declared he would support
nothing short of complete suppress
sion of all opposition groups and
newspapers.
Franz Winkler, Minister of the
Interior and leader of the Land
bund," declared he would not sup
port the full Fascism demanded by
Stharemberg. Winkler spoke at

attempted to break up the meeting.

The reader may say that John L.
Lewis was certainly in no position
to throw stones, since he lived in a
glass house himself. That is true.
And it is for this very reason that
Lewis prepared himself to come to
the next convention with the boast
that he had enrolled 1000 more
miners. But it seems that at the
meeting of the Council that just
closed the fat boys had it out and
to some extent at least scruti,lized

Letter of Association Asks Congress
Be Urged to Compare Figures

A movement to have the next session
of Congress reduce assessments 1or

was launched today by the Washington
Taxpayers Protective Association in a
letter to the Commissioners in which
the present rates are declared to be
excessively high" The Commissioners
were requested to recommend reduc-
tions to the House and Senate.
Describing the present rates as an
unjust burden on the prospective home
buyer or builder. the letter. signed by
E. c. BaltZ. chairman OF the board OF
the association, reclted:
In 1926 the rate for installing q
sewer was increased from 81 to SO per
front foot; this is paid by the property
owners on both sides of the street max
ing the total charge by the District st
per foot.
Average Cost Lower.

cent less than it was in 1926, put the
rate remains the same. Inc Dlstlo. .
government charges S24l more per loo'
than it costs to lay the sewer"
Referring to water mains, the letter
stated: =,
The difference between the cost OF
laying water mains and what Is
charged for this work Is even more
glaring. In 1926 1t cost the District an
average of 1896 for each front foot OF
water main installed. for which abuttlne
property owners paid Sc. Today that
cost has dropped to s312 a foot. for
which the taxpayers still pay Sc. or al
most twice what it costs to install the
service. Despite the fact that the cost
of installation has dropped 28 per cent
the charges are the same.
The association contends these as
sessments have become more burden
some because of a tendency to build
thus adding to the footage to De as
sessed for Improvements.
I'VE earnestly request that the Com
missioners recommend to Congress that
both of these charges be substantially
reduced" the letter continued. since
the water system is service which
is self-sustaining it has been the Gus
tom to charge the full cost OF laying
water mains to the property owner
Therefore, We believe that the water
charge should not be greater than il
costs on the average to install this serv-
ice, or about s160 a front foot The
intent of Congress is not clear as te
whether abutting property owners should
pay one-half of the full cost Of in
stalling sewers. If the property owner
should pay one-half for sewer installa.
ton the assessment on the present cost
should not exceed about 80 cents g
foot, and if he is to be charged the
full cost it should not be over $l.8(
