RENT
REDUCTION ASKED
Public Utilities Commission
Recommends Schedule De-
crease of Is Per Cent.

A reduction Of 16 per cent in the
total rent schedule Of an apartment
house near the downtown business Sec
ton has been recommended to owners
of the property by the Public Utilities
Commission. it was announced today.
The finding was reached after a
careful study of the financial and
rental conditions of the building by
James Ring, special rent research spe-
cialist of the commission.
Specifically. the commission recon-
mendS that the total rent schedule OF
the building, which contains Is apart
ment units. be reduced from $1.4l1.50
per month to 81 1,180. This is the f1rst
reduction in rent scales recommended
by the commission in the case OF apart
ment houses.
The commission recently urged own
ers of six private dwellings to reduce
rent scales. and found the rental Tor
another house was fair.
Ring has written tp the apartment house
owner and agent, Informing them of the
commission findings and asking them to
come to the commission for confer
ence on the matter.
Ring found the apartment building
was % per cent vacant and had no out
standing mortgage Indebtedness. He
recommended the reductions after
studying the assessments and tax
charges on the property and other con-
ditions. The identity of the property
was not revealed.

RUM MAY BE CURE
FOR VIRGIN ISLANDS
President Eyes Distilling as
Panacea for Economic
Ills.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt has asked Secre-
tary Ickes to check up on the possibil-
tiles Of rum production as a cure for
the economic ills of the Virgin Islands
in the event prohibition is repealed.
He was informed by a recent caller
that the st. Croix rum was formerly re-
garded among the best. Inasmuch as
the islands can produce only so much
sugar cane, Mr.. Roosevelt has asked for
an investigation to see If this limited
amount Of St Croix rum might be re-
stored.
The neutrality-suspicious. of the
President was engaged in the sugar
business in New York back in 1870.
Asked if this distant relative engaged
in rum selling, the President laughed
and said there was no record Of 1t, but
1t very probably might be so.
So the President is having the study
made. Meanwhile he is retaining Paul
Pearson as Governor Of the Virgin
Islands pending further notice.

Probe Begun to Determine if
U. S. Funds Were Used
for Increases.
RESTORATION OF CUTS
LIKELY FOR OTHERS
Administration Declares Any Action
on Salaries Must Have Ap-
proval of Office.

Increases in the salaries Of 98 en-
ployes of the District Emergency Relief
Organization probably will be thrown
out as the result Of an investigation
started today by Harry L. Hopkins,
Federal Emergency Relief administrator.
The investigation also is likely to
result in the restoration Of pay cuts
given 81 other employees Of the District
relief organization.
The inquiry was started by Hopkins
today when. informed of the pay in
creases recently instituted, he discovered
they had not been authorized by his
Office, as is required under the law.
Hopkins Immediately called George
S. wilson, director of public welfare,
and asked for an accounting as to
whether the pay increases came out Of
relief funds provided by the Federal
Government or from funds appropriated
for relief in the District by Congress.
Wilson, after an investigation of this
point, reported that some Of these
funds are Federal funds. Before Wilson
made his report Hopkins said:
If these pay increases are coming
from Federal funds, and haven't been
approved by my Office, they're all off,"
No Approval Found.
II was CeIlllltely 6SLdpllSlleQ tIldl no
approval had been given by the EN-
ergency Relief Administration to any
pay increases for relief workers in the
District. Hopkins got in touch with
Alan Johnson field worker of the
Relief Administration. who is in Gerogia.
Johnson who made survey of District
relief needs and the administrative set
up, said he had not approved any pay
increases.
The pay scale added s1482280 to the
salaries of SO employees of the relief
organization, including a 5000 pay in
crease that brought the salary of the
relief director. Leroy A. Halbert. from
$4,000 yearly to $4,000. This scale also
Topped s5,767.72 from the annual pay
of p other workers.
Hopkins Aroused.
Informed of this situation at his
press conference this morning. Hopkins
appeared considerably aroused. and i'm
mediately dug into the investigation.
His inquiry was halted. however, by a
summons to the White House. but was
continued by c. M. Bookman. deputy
administrator, who got Johnson's re-
port on the local situation
Pending a formal report from Will
son on just how much Federal money
Is used to pay the increases. it is prob
able that no increases or decreases in
pay in the administrative personnel of
the District relief organization will be
effective.

mates Items Least Likely to
Jeopardize Efficiency.

The Budget Bureau, it was learned to-
day, plans to limit the District budget
for the 1885 fiscal year to approximately
S37,000,000, or $4,000,000 in excess Of
the amount carried in the 1894 appro-
priation act.
The increase is to be made up chiefly
In salary items, as the budget will be
predicated on a 100 per cent pay scale
District officials have estimated that
restoration of the Is per cent cut will
add about S3,700,000 to the budget
The District Economy Committee is
now putting finishing touches on the
tentative budget for 1885, and expects
to have it ready for consideration of the
Commissioners early next week
Items Are Eliminated.
Working day and night for the last
several weeks. the committee has gone
over the detailed appropriation re-
quests Of the department heads and
eliminated items which it believes can
be cut out without jeopardizing the
efficiency of the municipal government
The Commissioners, however, must
pass on the budget estimates before
they 60 to the Budget Bureau. A series
of meetings will be held for that pur-
pose as soon as the Economy Committee
whips the budget into tentative form
The completed, tentative budget must
be submitted to the Budget Bureau not
later than September 30
Guarded With Secrecy.
The Economy Committee has guarded
its work with utmost secrecy, but a
general resume of the 1885 budget as
approved by the Commissioners. prob
ably will be made public when the esti-
mates go to the Budget Bureau.
District officials declined to indicate
whether the budget is to be predicated
on continuance of the existing $3.50 tax
rate and the S5.70O.000 Federal contri-
button. 1t is believed, however. that the
Commissioners are not contemplating
any change in the tax levy in the next
fiscal year. The amount of the Federal
contribution, also is expected to remain
the same, unless changed by Congress
at the forthcoming regular session.
