COUNTY To CUT
PERSONNEL !

Reduction of personnel in many
departments of the Montgomery
county government soon after
January /, is planned by Fusion
members of the board of com.
missioners, it was revealed today.
Wholesale Slashes in some de-
partments of the county govern
ment with reduction in salaries
of practically all employees under
control of the board will be one
of the first moves of the new
board, it was said authoritatively
in Rockville today.
The three Fusion members of
the board were elected on the
pledge to reduce materially the
cost of government in the county.
They will carry out this pledge
as soon as possible, they say.
One of the first moves of the
new group, it is believed, will be
reorganization of the Montgomery
County Liquor Control Board. At
present the board is composed
of five members and efforts will
be made to reduce the number
of members and the salaries of
the board after the terms of the
incumbentS expire on January Is.

Orphaned Dogs Feast
On Holiday Liver

The spirit of Thanksgiving
reached out today and touched the
hearts of 10 dogs at the District
pound.
1t was a gala day at Districts
home for orphaned dogs. They
had Thanksgiving Day menu.
All 10 dogs were treated to a
special dessert at their monday
meal-"de luxe liver" it's called, a
special concoction of hamburg,
liver, and cornmeal, which, accord
ing to Poundmaster Walter R.
Smith, is to the canine palate
what plum pudding is to the
human species.
This special delicacy was pre-
pared by William Stewart, pound
chef, who spent many hours in an
attempt to make this day a

Vote Boundaries
Readjusting Urged

Readjustment of the precinct
boundaries of the Fairfax county
voting district was urged by the
Young Democratic Club at the
Fairfax courthouse last night.
The move, which is designed to
save the county almost $4,000 an
nually in election expenses, was
heartily Endorsed by State Senator
John w. Rust, who said he would
back it with all of his power. The
new movement is blessing, he de-
clared, inasmuch as the existing
precinct lines were laid out long
before the present road system
and that, due to the fact that the
two don't coincide, great incon-
venience is caused the voters.

KRAMER URGES
z NEW HIGH
SCHOOLS
High Enrolment Declared To
Be Greatest in History;
OvercroWding Cited

With enrolment in the District
schools beyond the capacity OF
school buildings, DR.. Stephen E.
Kramer, first assistant superin'
tendent of schools, today empha
sized the need for two additional
junior high schools.
Declaring that the junior high
school enrolment is the highest
it has ever been in the history Of
the local school system, DR.. Kra'
mer said two new buildings
should be constructed immedi.
ately to relieve the congestion.
Needed in Northeast
The two buildings, he said,
should be constructed "some,
where in Northeast Washington
and in the area between the Cor.
don and Deal Junior High
schools in Wesley Heights. He
said:
"On the basis Of Junior high
school enrolment, it is undeni-
able that the school system
here needs at least two addi-
tional junior high school
buildings.
Zone Of them should be con-
Structed somewhere in North
east Washington and the other
between Gordon and Deal
Junior High Schools. This lat
ter building is very definitely
needed as soon as possible. We
have been trying to secure a
site for this building for sew
eral years, but we have never
been successful in our at
tempts."
Enrollment in all local Junior
high schools has leaped far be.
yond the capacity of the build.
ings within the past few years,
and with the drastic curtailment
in school funds construction has
been virtually halted.
At both the Gordon and Deal
there are more pupils than the
buildings were originally erected
to accommodate. At each of
these schools there is an excess
enrolment of more than 200.

ROBBED Of 500

Stabbed, robbed of $50, and left
for dead in AnacoStia woods, Carl
Williams, 22-year-old manager of
a Sanitary Grocery Store, is re-
covering at his home today.
Mr.. Williams was taking re.
ceipts from his store at Fifth and
G Streets Northwest to a branch

D, c. TAX STUDY
WELCOMED
LOCALLY
Survey May Check Attacks
on City Government in
Congress, Is Belief

President Roosevelt's intention
to end the controversy over the
fiscal relations between the Fed
eral Government and the District
of Columbia is welcomed here by
District officials as we'll as the
heads of various civic organiza-
tions which have been working
for an equitable financial status
for the National Capital.
Treasury experts are expected
to begin work soon on study to
show exactly where washington
stands with respect to local taxes.
This is said to be the first survey
of the kind undertaken by the
Federal Government.
Results Expected
There will be several results i'm
mediately apparent, it is believed
by District officials. The Presi-
dents interest in local affairs,
which has been growing since he
entered the White House, may re-
suit in toning down the annual at
tacks on the District Government
from members of Congress who
have been conspicuous in their
criticism.
Leading the field in violent
criticism has been Representative
Blanton, of Texas, who pursues
the theory that the District gov
ernment is inefficient in prac-
tically every department.
However, Representative Blan-
ton is not alone; he has large
following in the Lower House and
the effect of this influence has
been evident in the reduced ap-
preparations for schools, for the
cutting out of the Public Utilities
Commission staff of experts and
inspectors, and for the low Fed
eral appropriation.
If the Treasury finds that
washington taxpayers are paying
less comparatively than other
cities of similar size and char
acter, there is always the posi-
bility that taxes will be raised or
that the Federal contribution will
be still further reduced. It is
an old and closely held opinion
among Washingtonians that their
tax payments are comparatively
heavy.
Government Studied
Coupled with the Presidents
move to find the facts is the,
move in the Senate to examine
the form of government of the
District to determine whether a
change is advisable.
It is believed that when the
Presidents findings reach Con-
gress those members who have
been dissatisfied with the So
called "red tape" in the District
Building will take the opportun-
ity to press forward with an
inquiry into the necessity for at
least a simplification of District
administrative affairs.

Study Reveals Disease
NeIU to Northern Grouse.

For the first time in the history of
the Minnesota division of game and
fish, positive occurrence OF Lucrative
enterities, an inflammation of the in
testines. has been revealed in grouse
in a wild state in the northern part of
the state. This discovery by DR.. r. G..
Green of the University of Minnesota
may have far reaching efforts in grouse
and control. 1t Is possible
according to DR.. Green that this dis
ease may have marked influence on
the disease cycles of grouse that has
occurred at almost regular intervals in
the state for years past.
Every cooperation is being accorded
DR.. Green in his study of wild life dis
eases by Erling Swenson, director OF
the game and fish division, and by the
conservation commission.
Caution is urged in the handling OF
rabbits and other animals because Cd

more general in the southeastern part

Thousands of depositors having
money in the states closed banks were
paid a total of $3,S79, 772.Os during the
past year, according to report issued

missioner of Banking. This is the
largest amount paid in any single year
in the history of the state.
In all, 333 dividends were declared
following the avowed policy of the de-
partment to pay depositors as often as
possible even though the amount Of
each payment is small. The average
dividend during the year amounted to
81, 650.97.
The average amount for the lat ,298
dividend checks mailed to depositors for
the year was $26.34. Economical, speedy
and efficient liquidation is the policy
established by Mr. Benson with the aid
of Robert D. Berry, examiner in charge
of liquidation.
Included in the total assets of the

of farm lands in five states, 1900 urban

Fee Exempt Drivers
Licenses NOU to be Had.

All clerks of the court and their
deputies have been advised by the Com
missioner of Highways that they may
now receive and forward the applica-
tons for Fee Exempt Drivers Licenses.
These are what is known as the family
license and applications are to be made
by members of family, the head OF
which has already applied for and
secured his or her, drivers license. No
application for fee exempt licenses will
be accepted until the head Of the family
has secured his license and the number
of that license be placed in answer to
line Is of the application.
Clerks may collect ten cents service
fee and retain it on all applications for
fee exempt licenses. No application
will be taken from anyone under Is
years of age.
Again attention is called to the fact
that all must have a drivers license who
intend to drive a car. Considering the
large number to be issued before the
date expires on which licenses must be
had, it will be well to make your ap-
plication at once, otherwise it may be
possible that you will not be allowed to
drive after March /.

Teach Children to Walk
on Left Side of Road

Pedestrians on country highways are
very likely to neglect the regulation re-
quiring them TO walk always so as to
face oncoming traffic.
Neglect of this regulation is the
source of many serious traffic accidents,
according to a bulletin issued by the
Public Health Education Committee
of the Minnesota State Medical AsSoci-
alton today.
"On a dark night it is difficult for
the driver of an automobile, be he ever
so careful, to pick out the form of a
pedestrian on the road ahead. The
pedestrian, himself, appears to be en-
tirely unaware of danger, if his back
is turned, and he plods along heed
lessly.
'"The wonder is not that people are
often hurt that way, but that they are
not struck more often"
Children are especially partial to the
wrong side of the road, the bulletin
warns parents.
Children playing along the road pay
little enough heed to traffic at best
When they walk with their backs tc
oncoming traffic, one or two are likely
at any time, to dart under the very
wheels of cars attempting to go around
them from the rear.
every child who is obliged to wall
on a country highway should be care
fully instructed to walk only on the left
side of the road He will be much more
careful if he sees the cars approaching
him"
