SCHOOL BUILDING
PROGRAM URGED
Fine Arts Head Asks Bal
lou to Submit Proposed
Designs. -

Finding fault with past perform
ances over plans, DR.. Charles Moore,
chairman of the Fine Arts Commits
sion, yesterday wrote letter to DR..
Frank W. Ballou, superintendent of
schools, suggesting that if the board
has a program for new schools, the
commission would like to see it.
DR.. Moore criticized the use of old
designs for new schools that do not
fit the topography and asserts that
instead of saving. the expense is in
creased" He cited the case of the
Woodrow Wilson High School as "a
striking example" where delays and
changes were caused by plans
adapted to fiat ground to be used on
hillside"
Moore wrote:
The advice of the Commission of
Fine Arts is required as to designs Of
new school buildings. The design is
submitted by the municipal architect
with the statement that certain To-
cation had been purchased for the
building. Sometimes a new design is
made. Often an old design is used to
save money. Such designs often have
no regard for the topography. In
stead of saving, the expense is in
creased. Neither the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission nor
the Commission of Fine Arts is con-
suited.
THE Woodrow Wilson High School
is striking example. The delays and
changes were due to the fact that
Congress ordered plans adapted to fiat
ground to be used on a hillside. After
frequent consultation between the
municipal architect and the Commits
sion of Fine Arts and the National
Capital Park and Planning Commits
sion a compromise was reached.
If the Board of Education has in
mind new school buildings for the
fiscal year 1886, the Commission OF
Fine Arts would like to be informed
where it is proposed to locate these
schools. 1t may be that the Board
of Education has a program for new
schools prepared and if so, the Com
mission of Fine Arts would be pleased
to hear from you about it. 1t will ex-
pedite matters to have such informa-
ton"

BALTIMORE, June 30.-E. Austin
Baughman, president Of the American
Association of Motor Vehicle Admin
istrators, this week launched Nation
wide move toward Standardization of
automobile laws.
In letter to the administrator Of
every State, Baughman, who is Mary
lands motor vehicle commissioner.
described the hodge-podge of existing
laws and suggested that the associa-
ton members be ready to consider a
definite Standardization program when
they meet in convention next October
Benefits Are Expected.
Uniform laws, he said, would make
the work of the various administra-l
tors far more effective in matters
ranging from collection of taxes to-
the arrest of automobile thieves.
Today there are 46 different regis
tration fees charged in the 48 States
and District of Columbia, said Baugh-
man, illustrating the general lack Of
uniformity. Thirteen of the fees are
based on horsepower, 19 on weight. 3
on horsepower and weight, 2 on weight
and age, on weight and price, 2 on
price, l on piston displacement, and
have a fiat charge, regardless of the
kind or the age of the car.
There are 26 States with a title,
which require a sworn bill of sale
and 21 with no requirements for cer-
tificates of ownership.
Thirty States require a drivers
license, 10 only a license for chauf-
feurs and 9 with no requirements.
Few States have any regulation as
to lighting equipment or brakes and
there is scarcely any uniformity in
operating regulations as to speed or
rules of the road" Baughman said.

M'CARRAN TO ASK
UTILITY TkXSTUDY
Senator to Take Up Situa.
ton Here With District
Committee.

Revision Of the tax laws applying to
public utilities in the District will be
brought to the attention of the Sen
ate District Committee at the next
session by Senator McCarran. Demo-
crat, of Nevada, he announced yester-
cay.
From a preliminary study I have
made it does not appear to me the
public utilities of the District are bear
ing their proper share of the tax
burden" Senator McCarran said. "and
a spirit of fairness to the general tax
paying body of the District demands
that comprehensive study of the
question be made"
Bills Not Acted Upon.
Bills to change the method of tax
ing utility companies have been intro
duced in the last two Congresses, but
not acted on. Senator McCarran said
he plans TO write to Peoples Counsel
william A. Roberts within few days,
asking for detailed data on the sub
ject, which he will study in the Fall.
Under existing law the utilities are
taxed a certain percentage Of gross
earnings, but the rate is not uniform.
For gas companies, it Is 5 per cent
on gross earnings; for electric light
and telephone companies, per cent
on gross earnings. and for street rail-
road companies, per cent on gross
receipts, and other taxes as provided
by law.
Proposals OF Two Bills.
The question of utility taxation was
taken up in the District Committee
about two years ago by Senator Cap
per of Kansas, and in the ensuing
months two different bills ON the sub
ject we're introduced One sought to
combine a uniform rate of 4 per cent
on gross receipts. with a per cent
tax on net receipts. Another bill
drafted in 1882 proposed that utilities
be taxed on their tangible personal
property, on the same basis that other
tangible property is taxed, plus a
francise tax of per cent on gross
earnings. These earlier bills also con-
tanned provisions relating to banks,
trust companies, bonding and title in
surance companies. Existing law re-
quires per cent gross earnings tax
on national banks, all other incor-
porated banks and trust companies.
