FISCAL RELATIONS
STUDY NEARS END
Senate Committee to Get Re-.
port From Group Consid-
ering D. C. Changes.

Financial relations between the Fed
eral and District governments will be
analyzed in the report to be submitted
to the Senate District Committee by
the group of three officials appointed
to study costs and methods Of the
District administration, it was learned
last night.
The committee has undertaken a
study of this subject in the belief that
any proposals for changes in the form
or functions of the District establish
ntent naturally would involve fiscal
problems.
A voluminous report on statistical
findings on a wide range of questions
regarding District government opera
ton now is being prepared by Maj.
Daniel J. Donovan. District auditor
and budget officer; William A Roberts,
assistant corporation counsel, and F.
J. Bailey of the Bureau of Budget, who
constitute the committee.
King to Get Report.
The committee is expected to submit
= statement on its work to Chairman
, King of the Senate District Commit
tCe during January.
The committee has attacked the
question of fiscal relations. it is said,
by gathering data on expenditures of
each of the District departments, segre-
eating these by functions performed.
information thus compiled now is being
analvzed by a corps of five account
ants employed by the Civil Works Ad-
luinistration and assigned to work as a
C. W. A, project.
Just how comprehensive will be the
study of the fiscal relations between the
national and local governments Is not
known. There are indications the COM
mittee is seeking to illustrate how much
of the costs for various departmental
activities may be attributed to services
rendered to the Federal esta abhshment.
For instance, the committee is working
on figures on the cost to the District
of water service given free to the Fed
eral agencies.
Where evidence is found that District
capital investments are Of costly or eX-
pansive nature by reason Of the pres
ence here of the National Government,
it is reported, the committee intends to
so state these facts
Will Discuss Government.
The completed report will include a
mass of information on the various
forms of city government. including the
German appointed administrator type,
the elected city council-mayor type, the
council and city manager form, and
the appointed city manager form minus
the council, it is announced.
Numerous changes in the depart
mental structure of the District gov
ernment will be recommended, it was
indicated several weeks ago. One Sug-
gestion, it was reported, calls for crea-
tion of a department Of finance includ-
ing the agencies for levying and COL
lecting Of taxes, the auditing Of the
funds, their disbursement, and for Dis
trict purchases.
Another suggestion called for creation
of Department of Public Safety, in
rolving consolidation under one head
of the police and fire departments, and
certain inspection services. Another
proposal studied by the committee was
for a regrouping of the planning, con-
Struction, maintenance ana engineer
ing agencies under the Engineer De!

She waited now, expect. ing an apology or at least an ex- planation, but none came. "Who was he?" Eyes voice was pitched a note too high but she managed to keep 1t steady. Dick did not answer her. question. He was simply being exasperating making her be explicit. Very well! "Who was the man you met al the station?" she repeated. "Joe Casper" "T've never heard you mention him. Is he a friend of yours?" "He's the timekeeper on the job.' "And the girls-who were they?"
 "They answered to the names of Peggy and Babe"
 q didn't know you liked that sort of girls"
 "What sort?" "Oh ,the kind who picks up a strange man and lets him call her by her first name right from the start"
 "So that's it! We'll you're wrong. Those girls are harmless enough. Casper's engaged to Peggy if that reassures you"
 Where did you go after you put me on the train ?''
 "To the Merry -go-round," Dick answered frankly. The Merry go- round was Lake Citys best known night club.
 Eve considered this. "And I sup pose the girls went too?" she ask ed.
 "Yes-of course" Dick was ob- viously irritated.
 "A perfect frame-up!" Eve ac- cused. /
 "Now, see here, Eve!" Dick ex- ploded, a"it was entirely an acci- dent that Joe happened to see me there. I didn't know I was going to the station at that time and yor know it!''

Shipping Explosives
 Due For Control
Strict Federal and State Supervision Urged as Result
 of Accidents '.

Among the precautions set forth by the Bureau of Mines and other agencies are:
 That all motor equipment used in this business should be kept in first class condition at all times; that detonators should not be car- ried in the same compartment with
 an explosive such as powder; that there should be no exposed metal in the compartment where the load is carried that would act as con- veyor for an electric current; that the exhaust should be screened in such a way as to prevent a back fire; that the bottom of trucks should be protected with a heat
 absorbing material; that all wiring
 should be strongly and thoroughly
 insulated; that every precaution
 should be taken to prevent vapor
 from escaping from the gas tank; that in addition to the driver, every
 truck carrying explosives should
 have a guard; that neither the
 guard nor the driver should ever
 be permitted to smoke while in the
 truck; that the load should be cov-
 cred with a tarpaulin; that trucks
 carrying explosives should, as far as possible. avoid congested areas;
 that they should stop at all grade
 crossings and should carry a prom
 inent notice of the dangerous char
 acter of the load"

 Silence. Then, with head high Eve went to the bathroom to bathe her eyes with witch hazel and re- pair her complexion.
 When she reappeared she smiled at Dick wistfully. He held out his arms and she slipped into them Eve whispered coaxingly, "Just how did my darling spend his evenings last week."
 With snort of impatience Dick withdrew his arms, turned and walked to the window. Then he said. Looking for an apartment, |of course"
 "This one is perfect" Eve as- sured him. I'm sure we'll never tire of it."

Attire Freda's departure Eve felt the need of companionship and called on Irene Prentiss. They had been classmates in high school. Freda had gone to New York inn mediately following graduation and now, after five years of mar riage, was still working in the office of financial magazine where she had begun as stenog- rapher. Today, however. she was assistant editor of that journal.
 Irene appeared with several gall ley proofs in her hand. Eve thought she looked tired and bit worn. Irene seemed glad to see her but explained that.it was press day. Eve realized she should have telephoned to learn when it would be convenient for her to call. Evi- dently New York business offices were not so informal as those in Lake City.
 They went to lunch together but it was a nasty meal at nearby restaurant. Irene wore. a dark fur jacket that Eve admired.

Washington, D. C., Aug 24.-On the heels of several highway acci- dents in which vehicles loaded with explosives were involved, the American Automobile Association to- day renewed its demand for the strictest possible federal and state regulation of motor vehicles en- gagged in the transportation of ex- | plosives.
 Two recent accidents of a most serious character and in which trucks loaded with explosives were involved, have served to stress the obligation resting on the federal government, on the states, on trucking companies and on the manufacturers and shippers to throw every safeguard and pre- caution around the transportation of explosives by mootr," Thomas P. Henry of Detroit, Mich, presi- dent of the American Automobile association, declared.
 Under the explosive act passed by congress in 1921, the Interstate Commerce commission has the authority to frame regulations that would govern the transportation of explosives by common carrier trucks, not only in interstate but also in intrastate commerce. Under the 1921 act, strict regulations Tor the carriage of such material by rail have already been put into effect, but the marine code and the road code are still in the making. | While it is expected that the code for regulation of trucks car rying explosives will be completed Iak o,. v.1x tn xvnnlh raaNh only a very small number of the motor vehicles engaged in this type of transportation, since the great majority of them are either private or contract carriers. This {, latter consideration accentuates the urgency of effective staet po- | lice regulations for which, no doubt, a federal code would serve as a model.
 l "The transportation of explosives was hazardous business even in the horse and buggy days and the very nature of the gasoline-pro- pelled, electrically wired vehicle has greatly increased the hazards.
 There is every reason to believe | that manufacturers and shippers and the larger trucking companies l have sought to conduct this busl- ness with a view to affording every protection to their employees and to the general public using the high- ways. But it is far too serious a matter to leave to the discretion of individuals. Federal and state supervision is particularly import ant at the present time for the reason that the large program ot public works just inaugurated will Itend to increase transportation of jinflammable material by highway.
 Even in the absence of laws setting forth regulations. the state l authorities can use the police power to insist at least on such requirements and precautions as have been advanced by the Bureau! of Mines of the Department of Mines of the Department of Com merce. h. ythe Institute of Makers of Explosives md by some of the large companieA

Later she invited Eve to ride home with her, for dinner and at five o'clock they met. Eve was immediately thrown into a seeth- ing mass of humanity homeward bound via the subway.
 Ellsworth Prentiss, Freda's hus- band, was an instructor in a pri- vate school and each afternoon ar- rived home an hour or so before his wife returned from the office. He usually started preparations for their dinner.
 The Prentiss apartment con- sisted of luxuriously furnished living room and a spacious sleep ing room with all its furnishings in pairs-twin beds. two chests of drawers, slipper chair and sturdy arm chair, two night stands, two reading lamps. There was a cozy' yellow and blue kitchenet and here Prentiss had set the table for three. Irene explained that for special guests" they used the gate leg table in the living room. Eve, however, was accepted as bosom friend. She enjoyed the simple meal of boiled potatoes, broiled chops. creamed carrots and lettuce and an icebox dessert.
 The two girls cleared the table and stacked the dishes. Then they left Irene's husband before the fire, boring over magazine, and went out to concert.
 ""I'll never be famous Irene said as they walked down the quiet street. Probably I'll never be free from worry, either, but there's one thing Pm grateful for-good old Ell. Get yoursek good man, Eve, if there's one to be found these days!"
 Eve resisted the temptation to tell even Irene that she had let her work take her away from her husband. ntheir wedding night.
 The. remainder of ;, the week passed swiftly and Eve was glad of it. She wanted to be home and could hardly wait to / be on her way. At last she was at the station, homeward bound. She felt the tremble of excitement she al ways experienced at railway sta- tions. It was silly, she knew, but she worried when she learned her berth was on the last coach. Sup pose, it should be detached some how from the long train! She must not fail Dick now. <s

| Dick was silent. Obviously some- thing was wrong. Eve made an- other attempt.
 'Tt was a terrible thing for me to do, I know" she conceded. T don't believe any girl ever had such a situation to face on her wedding day. I'm sure no one ever had so unsatisfactory a honey moon."
 Dick turned and her penitent ex- pression quite melted him.
 "That wasn't our honeymoon. he answered huskily. We're be- ginning our honeymoon now
 But the little quarrel marred the happiness of Eyes homecoming. It erected a barrier of resentment and distrust between them that did not disappear.

But there he stood waiting for her as she alighted in Lake City Sunday morning. He kissed her regardless of onlookers There was that familiar sense of strength about him. Oh, how good it was to be back!
 : Dick tucked her into the road ster and whisked her away from the crowded thoroughfare to the boulevard along the lake shore. He had reserved a suite at the Mi ramar, one of the most attractive of Lake City's apartment hotels. Eve was enchanted with the rooms. Through narrow French windows she looked over the idle, wintry lake.
 "Dickv' she cried. He caught her in his arms and held her close. Then she tried to tell him how much she had worried all week,

 q mind-yes." Dick answered, "but I told you last week how I feel about it. From now on it's up to, you" 1 Eve felt uncomfortable. She was not quite sure what attitude she wished him to take in this matter.
 "You didn't write,'' she accused him.
 I didn't run away from you he reminded her. "And--it was silly, I suppose but couldn't bring myself to address letter to my wife as Mss Eve Bayless. Besides, was having too much grief on the job last week to find

Freda left the next evening after day in which she and Eve were extremely busy. They dined to- gether and Freda asked Eve to call at her apartment after she re- turned to Lake City.
 For the rest of the week Eve devoted herself to work but in spite of this preoccupation she was worried. No word had come from Dick. Pride would not allow her to call him by long distance, thoIgh she hungered for the sound of yiis voice. Each night she wrote him long letter, pouring out her loNe.
