FAIRFAX BUDGET
Up APRIL Z

FAIRFAX. Va, March A
public hearing on the proposed
county budget prepared by the
Fairfax county board Of super
visors for the fiscal year 1885,
will be held April 2 in Fairfax
courthouse, it was announced to-
day.
Estimates in the budget indicate
an increase in tax rates in several
districts ranging from 2 to II
cents on the 500 assessed valua.
ton of real estate and tangible
personal property despite efforts
of country officials to curtail ex-
penditures.
The total amount to be raised
by the county levy will be
$69, 1880 and that by the school
levy $141,0O0. While the amount
to be raised by the county levy is
only $174.91 over the current
fiscal year, the rate probably will
have to be increased from rs to
80 cents because a lowered rate in
the last few years has reduced the
county surplus from about $6S, 900
at the end of the 1928 fiscal
year to $4,000.
The present school rate of $1.15
is expected to remain the same
next year, also the fire rate Of 4
cents.

NJ CARL FLAYS
NAVY'S TRAVEL
PAY POLICY

In q 13.page letter to Secretary
of the Navy Swanson, Comptroller
General j. r. McCarl today
dashed bitterly at recent Navy
Department order limiting that
disbursing office payments here.
after shall follow the opinions Of
Attorney General Cummings and
decisions of the Court Of Claims.
The letter concerned efforts Of
the Navy Department to provide
TRANSPORTATION funds from mill
tary appropriations for the fami-
lies of officers ordered to their
homes pending retirement.
Payments Held Illegal
Officers are provided such bene'
fits when shifted from one perma-
nent station to another, but
previous decisions by the General
Accounting office have declared
such disbursements are unlaWtul
because an officers home Is not
a permanent station"
Declaring that "the matter OF
such determinations is not mace
wholly clear by your letter. and
It seems possible from statements
appearing therein that you may
intend empowering the Attorney
General to determine such mat
tiers for you" the Comptroller
General declared the Navy De-
partment will be held response
bic for whatever procedure Is
adopted for the payments in ques-
ton.
He said:
"There exists no law giving such
opinions determinative effect Of
providing protection for public
officials who adopt such Opin-
ions in the discharge Of their
public duties.
"Such orders are merely ad-
visOry, and necessarily SO, else
an Attorney General could be-
come effectively dominant in
the affairs Of all departments"
COOPERATION" ENDS
The Comptroller General con-
cluded his statement to Secretary
Swanson by saying:
"In view of your announced
intention to ignore the decisions
of this office with respect to
the legal availability Of existing
appropriations for such pay
mentS you are advised that
there is ended the effort Of this
office to assist your department
in its seeming difficulties"

DR.. Watson, Manufacturer
Of First Telephones, Dead

speaking from the other telephone ex-
claimed, "My God, it talks!" This
incident attracted much attention and
gave DIR. Bell the inventor further
encouragement in exploiting his dis
covery. Two years later the first
telephone switchboard was installed at
New Haven, Conn. This equipment
was placed in operation on January
%, 1878. So rapid was the operation
of the telephone industry that by
1880 there ware only nine cities of
10000 population and one of $1,000
people in the entire United States not
served by telephone switchboard.
Long distance telephone service re.
ceived it's start when demonstration
was given October 9, 1876, between
Boston and Cambridge. The distance
was two miles and the message was
transmitted over borrowed telegraph
line. Further demonstration was
made later in the year between Bos-
ton and Lawrence, twenty-seven miles.
and the next year from Boston to
Providence, distance Of forty-five
miles. The first long distance line
built for the purpose used was OPP
Grated between Boston and New York.
1t was placed in service on March q,
1884.
At the time of DR.. Watson,s death,
December Is last, there were about
100000 telephones in the United
States, connected with more than
$4,000 central Offices, operated by
nearly 1000 companies. Transocean
service, which now extends to five
other continents, was inaugurated be-
tween America and Great Britain on
January z, 1927. This summarizes the
growth of the telephone industry dur.
ing the life of DIR. Watson, who had
the distinction of hearing the first
telephone sentence ever spoken over
instruments made by his hands.

Increased use of the telephone in
1884, net gain of 298,000 telephones
compared with a net loss of 100000
in 1888, development of an improved
type of telephone, which includes the
bell and other equipment previously
mounted in a separate apparatus box,
in the base of the telephone itself, and
the production of new form of trans
mission cable are reported to the 675,-
900 stockholders of the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company by
President Walter S. Clifford, for the
directors.
Local telephone calls were increased
about 100000 daily, which was 2.6
per cent greater than in 1888. Toll
and long distance calls were increased
approximately 100000 daily, or 4.6
per cent in excess of those made in
1888. More than 10000 overseas tele-

phone calls were reported, 10000 be-

The quality of telephone service was
maintained throughout the year on a
high level. Criticisms for each 1000
telephones were the lowest on record
and more than nine out of every ten
long distance calls were completed
while the customer remained at his
telephone. Telephone service today,
Mr.. Clifford states, is more uniformly
good than ever before.
The Bell System Companies closed
the year with 13,458,000 telephones
in service, which was IA per cent be-
low the m m m development
reached in 1880. Including telephones
of about 600 connecting companies
and 25,3OO connecting rural lines,
there are now about 16,8O0,00O tele-
phones in the United States, prac-
tically any one of which can be con-
nected promptly with any other, the
report shows.

INITIAL TELEPHONE LINE IN
WASHINGTON DESCRIBED

crude. The receiver was also the
transmitter, being transferred from
ear to mouth alternately, so that it
was not uncommon for two persons to
be speaking at the same time without
being aware that neither was listening.
Conversation was very indistinct, and
to make the situation worse, the tele-
phone wire had been strung on tele-
graph poles so that the induction from
the telegraph wires caused the tele-
phemes to be mixed with the dots
and dashes of kilograms. Calls were
made by turning crank and pushing
a button. One ring called the Capitol
and two rings the Printing Office.
Ideas regarding the telephone were
exceedingly hazy. One quite intelli-
gent man supposed the wire was
hollow-that is, that the telephone
was merely an elongated speaking
tube. Another thought the message
was transmitted by ordinary vibration,
so that it could be heard by attaching
a string to the wire. 1t took trial of
his theory to convince him of his
error.
AS the telephone was such a novelty
at that time, many persons visited the
Office merely to see and hear it. Call
ers for that purpose would probably
average half a dozen day. In such
cases would call the Capitol and ask
the clerk there to speak to the caller.
The EXPLANATIONS of establishment at
hearing the human voice at such a
distance were quite amusing, and es-
pecially if the nearer happened to
know the speaker and recognized the
voice. One of the callers was Phineas
T. Barnum, and had the pleasure Of
showing this great exhibitor of freaks
a curiosity which he had never seen.

Telephone service in Washington
was first operated by private lines con-
Meeting various governmental depart
ments, stores and warehouses and in
q few cases the places of business and
the residences of owners of these es-
Establishments. The first Of these pri-
vate lines connected the Government
Printing Office and the Capitol. This
line enabled members of Congress to
order extra copies of their speeches
and other documents with mere dis
patch, according to Frank Hall Childs
of Pacific Palisades, Calf, in recent
letter to the Washington Evening
Star.
Mr.. Childs was employed in the
office of the chief clerk of the printing
office in the winter of 1S77-78. The
telephone, he says, had just come into
use and he was designated to answer
calls at the printing Office end and to
ring up the Capitol as occasion necessi-
tated. This telephone line was gradu-
ally extended to other government de-
partments, but always with the pri-
mary objective of facilitating inquiries
in printing. Private lines were super
seeded by an exchange system Decem-
Der 1, 1878.
Mr.. Childs' description of the use of
the telephone and some of the promi-
nent people interested in its operation,
who were visitors at his Office follows:
Needing a word to describe tele-
phonic message, / coined the word
"telepheme" from the Greek, tele, far,
and pheme, speaking. 1t was very
convenient word, 1 thought and still
think, and although it crept into the
dictionaries it did not "persist."

B. & o. MAKES TESTS OF
NEW MOTOR LOCOMOTIVE
Twin Unit DieseI-EEectric En-
CINE Hauls Ten-Car Train

The twin unit diesel-electric en-
gine built by a subsidiary of General
Motors for test service on American
railroads, recently made a run of Lila
miles from Jersey City to St. Louis
on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
continuing two hours later with a reg
ular Alton train to Chicago for an adj
ditional distance of 284 miles, the B.
q 0. announced last Wednesday.
This locomotive, drawing train No.
3 westward a day previous to its de-
parture from St. Louis for Chicago,
passed through Oakland with a train
Of ten steel coaches. 1t hauled its
load up the Seventeen-Mile Grade
without helping service and was prac-
tically on time to the minute.
This run of the new machine is be-
lieved by officials of the railway com
pany to be 'by all odds the longest
run ever made by heavy, diesel pow
cred train of a standard all-steel Pull
man equipment, without change of en-
gine, and stopping only for refueling
and for the purpose of discharging and
embarking passengers.
On the run from Jersey City to st.
Louis, the engine hauled ten standard
steel cars, or an average of 757 tons
for the trip. Between st. Louis and
Chicago, twelve cars were hauled or an
average Of 808 tons. The engine itself
weighs an additional 250 tons.
The company says this engine is
the most powerful of it's type yet
placed in road service in this country.
1t consists of two 8OO-horsepower
units of exactly the same construc-
tion, either one of which can be used
on lighter trains. When operated to-
gether the two units are controlled by
one engineer.
