steadfastly maintained that no

"It was just one of those
unfortunate things which will

seriously. If they had been, I
certainly would have known
about it."
Asked why no report of the

COUNTY D j NJ P
ELIMINATION
FAVORED
Commissioner Paul M.CoughIin
To BroaCh Matter Tuesday to
Montgomery Board

SILVER SPRING, Md, July 6.
Abolition of Montgomery county's
burning dumps loomed as pos
sibility today with the announce
ment by County Commissioner
Paul M. Coughlin that he will
bring the question up at Tues
days meeting of the county
board.
Mr.. Coughlin said he long
has regarded the dumps, par
ticularly the large one located
just off the East-West Highway,
with disfavor, and although he
had not had time or opportunity
to study legal technicalitieS he
would favor any plan to bring
about their elimination. He said:
81 certainly am in favor of
doing something to remedy the
unhealthy condition which is
caused by these dumps, and par
ticularly that one which is To-
Gated just off the East-West
Highway. Of course, I don't
know what legal difficulties
might be encountered in order
ing their elimination. 1t may
be that we can only order them
removed to another and more
remote section of the county,
where they will not create such
annoyance to the people of the
county.
II intend to bring the matter
up at Tuesdays meeting of the
county board, in order that we
can find out if something can
not be done about them"
Following the banning of burn
ing dumps in Arlington county re-
Gently considerable agitation arose
among Montgomery county resi-
dents to do something to remedy
the situation there.
Although only two dumps exist
in the nearby Maryland commu-
nifty, they have both been the sub
ject of considerable criticism.

VOTE
DUE ON PAVING

RIVERDALE, Md, July 6.
Plans will be submitted shortly to
all property owners of Riverdale
for the improvement of streets
and erection of a new fire house
and town hall, according to Mayor
William A. Carson.
The PWA has accepted pro-
posal whereby the town will bor-
row 100000 for the work. The
project will be put before the citi-
zens and every street on which 81
per cent of the property owners
vote in favor of the measure will
be improved.
This improvement is estimated
to cost the property owners ap-
proximately $3.50 per front foot,
less As per cent allowed by the
PWA, and is payable over a pc
riod of six years, with 4 per cent
interest.
Street intersections and parking
spaces will be paid for out of town
funds.

, certainly have reported it to the
police"
Despite Mr.. Kelly's denials, a
guest present when the cracker
exploded insists that he saw the
incident and that four persons
were cut by flying glass. Accord.
ing to him, the firecracker was
lighted by accident and the man
who lighted it threw it into a
water glass to extinguish the fuse
It continued to burn, however,
and he placed his hand over the
glass. Just at that moment the
firecracker exploded and he suf
fered a badly lacerated hand.
Another guest was hit in the
eye. One girl in the party was
said to have received several deep
decorations on the face.

Annapolis Is Stirred
By Mansion Change
EARL WARD

ANNAPOLIS, Md, July 6.-Sul'
len resentment is growing against
the remodelling of the Governors
Mansion instituted and planned
by Governor and Mrs. Harry w.
Nice.
The old house was built in the
Victorian style in the 1905 and
is one of the few of that era still
standing in colonial Annapolis. Its
mansard roof and square outline
has been the source of complaint
from lovers of the colonial visiting
here.
Clings to Old Things
But like all old places, Annapo-
lis is conservative, and while the
city may not have liked the Victo-
rian house it stubbornly clings to
things as they are.
At present the house is partially
hidden behind a mass of scaffold-
ing and the stone porch has been
shorn away. It is planned to build
two wings on the east and west
sides, remove the mansard roof,
substitute a steep pitched roof,
and build a colonial entrance.
The whole will be in the Georgian

FAULT. FINDING,
COST FOR CITY
FEARED
Commissioner Against Letter
of the Law" Enforcement;
Favors More LenienCY

Establishment of permanent
advisory committee of citizens on
crime, recommended yesterday by
the Districts crime investigation
committee, is frowned on by Com
missioner Melvin C. Hazen.
Mr.. Hazen's objections are sew.
eral, based on his belief that such
committee could develop into
an agency which could cause
trouble.
His views were made known to-
day for the first time.
If such a committee we're set
up, personalities might develop,
Mr.. Hazen believes, and it could
harass any officer of any branch
of the regularly established crime
controlling agencies of the Dis.
trict, such as the police depart
ment courts or district attorneys
office.
Has Specific Reasons
Under democratic government,
it is the prerogative of any citizen
to make any complaint on any de-
partment at any time, Mr.. Hazen
agreed, but if a committee is eS.
tablished and paid to find fault
with any of the departments, the
tendency might be that such a
committee might create" cases on
which to work, in order to justify
its existence.
Besides, the commissioner argues,
these regular agencies are set up
to check up on law enforcement
IN the District. If they perform
their jobs as they should there will
be no need for the proposed
citizens advisory committee"
Another drawback to- the es-
tablishment of the committee, Mr..
Hazen believes, is its cost. He
said:
ut would have to be headed
by a man whose salary would
run around $4,000 or more a
year. and, by the time you paid
his staff, office rent and sta
tiOnery, the least such a COM
mittee could cost would be
$4,000 annually. l don't believe
the people of the District want
to pay that"
POINTS OF CONFLICT
While Commissioner Hazen says
that he broadly approves the re-
port of the committee, made up of
Corporation Counsel E. Barrett
Prettyman, Capt. H. F.. Clark, AS
siStant Engineer Commissioner,
and George w. Offutt, chairman
of the District Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board, there are several
other recommendations on which
he does not see eye-to-eye with
the committee.
One is on the enforcement "to
the letter" of every law in the Dis
trict. Commissioner Hazen be-
lleves that a system of police
magistrates, to hear minor viola
tion cases, such as a man parking
ito run into store and get a
package of cigarettes" would care
for these matters in much more
efficient way than that in which
they are now handled. He said:
Il do not believe it is right
for respectable citizen who
has Slipped on some minor in
fraction to have to go to police
court, as now constituted, and
wait around with criminals Of
all sorts until his case is called.

Now, if these reported ratio figures
are correct, it should be possible to
compare the real value of property in
all these cities by applying to the
actual census figures of total assess
ment the Detroit Bureau of Municipal
Research figures on reported ratios.
That is. if Milwaukee's actual assess
ment figure, as reported by the census,
is S1,030,722 137, and the Detroit
Bureau of Municipal Research reports
that the ratio of assessed to full value
in Milwaukee is 80 per cent, then the
actual value of property in Milwaukee
ought to be S1,288, ,402, 800.

on the basis of the reported ratios

Joint Committee Comparison.
Fifteen Cities Per CT

tLess than Washington.
'Greater than Washington.
OF the IA cities compared in tax
burden with Washington. in this table,
7 are next larger in population than
Washington and are next smaller.
(This table is reproduced in part
from table VIII of the Citizens Joint
Committees Book of Tables, 1922
The important showing in these
two tables is that when the COM
parison of tax burdens is made by
the so-called adjusted tax rate
method, the indicated tax burden
in Washington is exceeded by IL
of IA cities.
When the comparison is made
with actual figures, expressed in
terms Of per capita tax burden,
there are only five cities with a
heavier tax burden than Washing
ton, while nine are shown with a
smaller tax burden.
Facts Not Complete.
In addition to having used what
many will regard as a faulty method
of comparison, the Treasury experts
report contains several references to
the fact that its investigation is not
complete. For instance, it says /:
"As has been indicated, comparative
rates of taxation on general property,
however refined. afford only a crude
and preliminary measure of the COM
parative tax burden of different cities.
Not only are there important differ
ences in valuation practices that may
be inadequately corrected by the fore
going adjustments adjustments of
tax rate), but there are also important
differences among the various cities
and other local governments in
sources of revenue other than general
property taxes"
The report then takes up the COM
parison of per capita costs of govern
ment-exclusive Of debt service-and
finds that Washington ranks thir-
teenth in the list Of IS cities when
the lump sum is excluded, and
eighth when the National Govern
ment contribution is included. But
while the report seems to attach some
significance to this comparison, it i'm
mediately apologies for not having
presented the essentially significant
facts which should accompany such
q comparison. Says the report:
Crude and Preliminary"
"It has been twice noted that COM
parative general property tax rates
offer but q crude and preliminary
measure Of the comparative burden Of
taxation. A similar statement must
be made about per apita costs OF
Evening star., 1935-04-14

government. A city which provides
ampler services of a given kind than
another, or one that provides irnpor-
tant services not offered by another,
might we'll have a higher per capita
cost of government without COM
mensurately adding to the taxpayers
burden" And when the Treasury re-
port deducts from the cost of govern
ment in other cities the amounts
paid by those cities for benefits re-
ceived in the form of statehood, cit
izenship, ETC., in which the District
does not share. the District is shown
to be fifth in the list of Is cities (al-
though it is sixth in population rank
as to per capita cost of government,
exclusive Of debt service.
At the 1915 fiscal hearings an equi-
table comparison of governmental costs
was submitted which showed that in
most items the payments of the Ma
tional Capital exceeded those of COM
parable cities This greater cost was
attributed to national requirements of
larger expenditures on higher stand
ards in the Nations City than were
required in the average American COM
mercial city. And this greater cost
was treated as testifying and COM
pelling in equity a large national con-
tribution.
On the basis of admittedly incom-
plete investigation, and by the use of
a method plainly open to criticism,
the Treasury report reaches its con-
clusion that the tax burden in the
District is relatively low in comparison
with the high tax cities selected for
the comparison. But the report, un-
fortunately, fails to take up for
thorough discussion the important
subject which is of concern to Wash
ington at the present time-the
amount which the National Govern
ment should appropriate as its share
Of the National Capital expenses.
Evening star., 1935-04-14

through District taxation and Federal
contributions, respectively, it is recon-
mended that a more extensive in
vestigation, conducted with the as
sistance Of experts within and outside
of the Federal Government, be au-
thoriZed."
Urge Further Inquiry.
The recommendation Will be laid be-
fore the Senate District Committee at
Its next meeting. This was made known
last night by Senator William H. King,
Democrat, of Utah, chairman.
Senator's Copeland Of New York
and Capper Of Kansas, two other
members, said they believe it would
be highly desirable to proceed with
the further inquiry suggested by the
Treasury.
"At the earliest moment we ought
to make thorough study of the sub
1ect," said Senator Copeland. We
have got to take up, anyhow. the
question Of changing existing law to
bring assessments here down to more
comparable basis with other cities"
Senator Thomas, Democrat, of Okla
homa, who has charge of the District
appropriation bill, had not seen the
Treasury tax report last night, but re-
iterated his view that Washington
should be allowed to adopt the lower
assessment rule followed elsewhere,
so that its tax rate would be more
comparable with other cities. He said
District officials already have collected
the necessary data on that subject.
Favors Conclusive Study.
Senator Capper, referring to the
Treasury suggestion that the investi-
CATION be pursued further by experts
in and out of the Government, said
that "as long as the study has gone
this far, 1t would seem only logical to
carry it to conclusion"
Discussing the additional data sug-
gested, Senator Capper added: II feel
sure 1t would be found that Washing
ton has the most efficiently managed
and economical government of any of
the cities. due to the fact that the
Federal Government keeps watch over
II, and close check on expenditures. :"
