DELINQUENT TAX
BILL INTRODUCED
Measure Is Designed to
Simplify Sale of Property
Held by District.

A bill designed TO simplify the sale
Of property held by the District for
delinquent taxes was introduced today
by Chairman Norton Of the House
District Committee.
The proposed legislation vas rec
ommenoed by the Commissioners 10
supersede the act of February IA
1929, providing an additional method
for collecting taxes in arrears This
act. the Commissioners said was
found difficult 10 apply because of
provision requiring that all persons in
terested in the property or entitled TO
redeem it from a tax sale be made
parties to suits instituted for judicial
sales.
The proposed legislation would
eliminate that provision and substi-
tute in lieu thereof a notice Of pub
lication to parties in interest other
than the owner as shown by the
records of the tax assessor.
Would Authorize Sale.
The bill would give the Commits
SiC-lerS authority to dispose of prop
erty on which taxes have been delln-
Quent for two years or more at a
public sale after confirmation of the
sale by the District Supreme Court.
No sale could be made for less than
the aggregate taxes. interest and
costs. Upon conhrma lion of the sale
the clerk of the court would execute
and deliver to the purchaser a deed
to the property conveying the right
and title and estate of all persons
whether named in the suit or not.
Under existing law a sale cannot
be instituted until the title has been
examined to determine all the inter-
ested parties. The bill however.
would allow the tax collector to send
a notice of his intention 10 seek a
court sale TO the owners named on
the records o. the assessor and pub
lish notice TO all others interested
through advertisements in the Wash
ington newsp2 pers.
Memorial Is Proposed.
The Commissioners told Mrs. Norton
there is considerable property in the
District to which this proposed legiS-
lation would apply and aid them ma
terially in the collection of delinquet
taxes.
Mrs. Norton also introduced a reso-
luton authorizing the National So
ciety of The Daughters of the Ameri-
can Colonists tC erect on public prop
erty in Washington a memorial to
the early settlers whose grants en-
brace a part of the Nations Capital.
The proposed memorial will be de-
signed by Delos Smith.
The society already has erected sew
eral historic memorials in different
States. the last one being the large
granite cross at Cape Henry. Va,
commemorating the landing of the
first white settlers there April 26.

GAS RATE HEARING
EXAMINES FIGURES
Voluminous Statistics on
Company Valuations
Given by Klein.

Introduction Of voluminous statis-
tics bearing on valuations of the
Washington and Georgetown Gas
Light Cos marked the opening this
morning of public hearings before the
Public Utilities Commission on future
rates to be charged by the companies.
August c. Klein, chief mechanical
engineer for Stone e. Webster and
valuation conSultant for the local
companies. was the first witness to
take the stand
AS his first exhibit Klein introduced
tables showing the commission repro
duction cost of physical property for
the Washington Gas Light Co., less
retirements from July /. 1882. to De-
cember 81, 1884. The figure was then
trended to costs of December 81. 1894
giving a total of S17,249,20l as con-
trasted to the commission estimate
on July l. 1882. of S15.550. .638.
Seeks to Reconcile Figures.
At the same time. Klein quoted fig
ures to reconcile commission physical
property reproduction estimates in
1882 with those of the company for
the same date. The company's eSti-
mate was S19.947,371. as compared to
the $3.50, ,638 of the commission.
Following a similar procedure for
the Georgetown company, Klein cited
the commission reproduction estimate
for that concern on July l, 1882. at
S1844.837. Subtracting retirements
between that date and December 81,
1884. he then trended the figure to
the 1884 costs, bringing the total to
$2141,617.
AS contrasted with the commission
reproduction estimates for the George
town concern, Klein cited the COM
pany's estimate at $2,411, 1852.
Property Additions Shown.
Later. Klein was prepared to sub
nit tables showing that property ad-
ditions to the Washington company
between the 1882 and 1884 dates had
an original cost of sl,280,334 and a
trended cost of Sl,413.875. For the
Georgetown company, the comparable
figures on property additions were
S218,398 for the original cost and
$24O,3O7 for the trended cost.
Commissioner Riley E. Elgen pre-
sided at the hearing. Hinson D. Fol-
som. assistant corporation counsel,
represented the corporation. William
L. Roberts, peoples counsel, also was
in attendance.
Commissioner Elgen informed Rob-
erts that representatives of the citi-
zens' associations who might wish to
testify probably would be called di-
rectly after the company testimony
is finished Commission witnesses
also are to appear.

Three Men Held
In Bank Robbery
]. P. Granting Denies He
Knew of Affair

COLUMBIA, S. c., Aug. s.
The $500 robbery of the Enter
prise bank, Smoaks, appeared to
be solved last night as officers
committed three men to the state
prison for safekeeping. Two of
the men were said to have made a
full confession.
Rufus R. Knight, of Orange
burg, described as a former bank
cashier, and his cousin, Ralph
Knight, of Columbia, were said to
have confessed, but the third man,
listed as j. P. Granting, Of Or
angeburg, was said by officers to
deny any connection with the rob-
berry.
Granting was quoted by officers
as saying that he had loaned his
car to a man he knew only as
Frank and one of the Knights and
that he did not know they planned
a robbery.
Rufus knight, officers said, had
admitted that he was the man who
remained in the car while two
others went into the bank, and
Ralph Knight was quoted as say
ing that his part in the robbery
was merely to meet the three near
Smoaks with another car.
Officers are seeking two other
men in connection with the rob-
berry.

TEACHERS Get
70 PCT. RAISE
Board of Education Makes
II Effective for Full
Eight Months

RALEIGH, Aug. S.-North Car
olina school teachers were given a
20 per cent increase in salary for
the full eight months of the term
by the state board of education
yesterday.
The 20 per cent increase will be
based on the salary schedule OF
the 1934-35 session and will be IN
addition to the present system OF
raised certificates.
The board did not accept the
recommendation of the state
school commission which provided
for 20 per cent increase for the
first seven months and pay for the
eighth dependent upon amounts
available. The board of education
made no comment as to where the
additional money to make up the
full 20 per cent would be OBJ
tanned. The school commission es-
timated that there would be a
shortage of 1921, 900.
The action of the education
board was viewed as guaranteeing
that the necessary money for the
eighth month would be provided.
Governor EhringnauS said that no
funds had been committed to
make up any deficit that might ex-
ist in the fund.
The action of the board was
final as the matter does not have
to be sent back to the state school
commission.
