The District Commissioners, in
letter to Mrs. Ernest R. Grant,
secretary of the Association for
the Prevention of tuberculosis, to-
day voiced their support for the
annual sale of Christmas Seals in
Washington, the proceeds of which
are used to fight the disease. The
letter declared:
"ThiS work is of general i'm
pOrtance to the general health
of the community"
Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen.
speaking for the Board of Com
missioners, urged local citizens to
support the sale of the penny
Seals. He said:
II deem it my duty and privi-
legeS at this time to join with
my associates in commencing to
all citizens the program of
health service in the prevention

Ken Murray
Says:

Well, look at him! Samuel
insult has been finally acquitted,
after the Government chased
him half way around the world
3. That certainly is going long
way to prove a man innocent.
1 guess that after all those
miles, the wheels Of justice"
must need a new set Of tires.
In the first place, the case
should have been handled by
the Department Of Agriculture,
anyway. He was only charged
with using too much water ON
power plants.
so REMEMBER:
Leave it to an electric mag
nate to make a jury see things
in the right light.

j. s. GETS MORE
THAN It PAYS
FOR, CLAIM
Service Given BY City to
Federal Government Far
0utWeighs Return, Is Belief

Feeling certain that an inVeStt.
CATION of local tax rates would
disclose that the Federal Govern
ment is getting more service from
municipal departments than it
pays for, District Commissioner
George E. Allen today said q
larger lump sum contribution
probably will be made to the Dis
trict for 1886.
A thorough study of the finan.
cial relations between the District
and Federal Governments, he said,
would include a consideration Of
fire and police protection as well
as the Districts support of such
Federal agencies as the National
Geological Park, National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
and the courts which act on Fed
eral cases.
Water Service Cited
In addition, he pointed out,
such study would include tho
servicing of Federal departments
with water, for which no charge
is made
Tax Assessor William P. Rich
ards is preparing a report Tor Dis
trict Commissioner Melvin c.
Hazen, comparing the local tax
rate with that of other cities, in
which he contends that the pres
ent levy of $1.5O per hundred on
real estate property is fair"
Mr.. Richards report says the
only reliable basis on which tax
rates in different cities can be
compared is on per capita wealth.
The per capita real estate
wealth in all cities is practically
the same, he contends. Support
ing his statement with a survey
of a number of other cities, Mr..
Richards asserts the amount OF
taxes paid by local citizens is the
same per capita as that paid in
other cities.
Donovan Favors Study
District Auditor Daniel J. Dono-
van said today that he favored
the study of what would be a fair
tax rate for the District.
He pointed out that the ques'
ton of the amount of Federal con-
tribution to the local budget has
been a matter of contention for
more than 100 years.
A Congressional report of 1888
contains an appeal by District resi-
dents for Federal aid to carry on
the Municipal Government.

Chinese Boy, IL,
Alone in World

With Oriental stoicism, an IL
year-old Chinese boy last night &C
cepted the tragic fate which left
him alone in a world of strangers
when his grandmother, Mrs. Ham
Lee, IS, of Plainfield, N. j., died
suddenly on a train in Union Sta
ton.
The woman and boy were en-
route to San Francisco when she
collapsed. The boy told police his
name was Richard Lee, that his
father is dead and his mother is
living in China. He was sent to

RULES LIMIT
DIVIDENDS To
6 PER CENT
Mortgages May Be Insured
Up to 80 Per Cent Of
Value of Property

James A. Moffett's low-cost
housing project-the one he has
been boosting over the Ickes Gov
ernment-financed project-w t
forward today with the publica-
ton of the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration's rules and regula-
tions as to longtime mortgage
loans and low-rent housing prof.
ectS."
The projects are to be capital
lied, the capitalization being linn
tied to the actual amount OF
money invested; dividends to be
limited to per cent a year; spe-
cial disbursements limited to 212
per cent a year provided a similar
amount is returned to the tenants
in the form of rebates on rent.
Higher earnings must be allowed
to accumulate for the benefit OF
tenants.
80 Per Cent Limit
In the Moffett projects, the
Government insures the mortga-
ges up to 80 per cent of the
value of the property; that is the
man who wants house puts up
20 per cent of the cost in cash.
gets a mortgage for the rest and
the FHA insures that mortgage.
These large-sized. low-cost houS-
ing projects must meet six diff
cult tests: Social and economic
trends of the community and
neighborhood; satisfactory corpo-
rate structure and other legal re-
quirements; physical structure of
the buildings, and design and liv-
ing qualities of the structures;
financial structure of the mort
gage arrangements, ETC., and man.
agement, supervision and account
ing of the project after compile
ton.
Risks Avoided
The statement today says:
"NO project will be approved
for insurance that involves a
high degree of risk in any of
these factors. p r eSent and
probable future trends of pOpu-
latiOn in the area will be an i'm.
pOrtant consideration, cOmmuni-
ties having diversification of in
dustries and opportunities for
steady work being rated above
small areas dependent on one or
a narrow range Of industries and
subject to recurrent unemplOy-
ment periods"
Preference will be given to large
projects developed in conformity
with community planning. In the
approval of loans preference will
be given to the substantial type
that will not have large constant
repair bills; excessive prices OF
land will be banned.
In other words, as the FILA
press release states:
"LOanS insured under this Sec
tion of the National Housing act
will be segregated as to type and
amount of risk involved, thus
placing a premium on the
SOunder projects and good man.
