D. c. HEADS SCORED
ON PENSION POLICY
Discrimination Charged by

Association.

Discrimination in pensions OF fire.
men and policemen Of the District
was charged to former Commissioners
last night by the Burroughs Citizens
Association.
The association accused the former
city heads of permitting discrimina-
ton in allowances of certain pensions
and the incumbent officials with fall
tire to correct these declared evils.
Reports on Investigation.
Paul E. Jameson. reporting an in
Sestigation on the subject said,
''Ninety-seven per cent of the officers
Of the Fire Department on the retired
list receive the maximum pension,
while 80 per cent of the privates do
not get full pensions. I do not mean
that the officers pensions should be
lowered. but that the privateS' should
be raised"
Numerous incidents were cited in
an effort to show that some men in
these services had been favored. jamie
son mentioned the case Of two BROTH
ers in the Fire Department, one Of
whom had been thrown from an ap-
paratus and had received a fractured
skull which had impaired his sight.
This man was retired on $3.50 a
month, Jameson said. His brother
was retired for i'll health, yet his
pension was the maximum, 500 a
month, he added
The Commissioners were reinvested
With authority to discriminate in the
granting of pensions to firemen and
policemen in 1880 and we're also given
the power to rectify unfairnesS in
past cases, Jameson said; and
added, They have not rectified these
mistakes and some of the retired men
are unable to protest because they
are too poor. A retired private who is
II years old with 20 years service re-
ceives only $50 a month, This case
was presented 10 the Commissioners

Il don't want to listen! I think
it's horrible Just because a man

Alison broke down. The strain OF
days of anxiety, of her nights vigil
in the old house and todays distress,
all gathered into that one Cloudburst
of tears. Because she seldom cried,
because he had never seen her so up
set. Robert was almost shocked. He
gathered her into his arms. soothing
her with pet names and kisses until

Daphne appeared at half past r.,

parcels and, while Porter settled with
the driver, she opened the parcels in

to Alison. Huge fiat books of wall
papers and a mass Of furnishing
fabrics

the rooms upstairs?" She had a
gushing way of asking. II feel sure
you've got wonderful color sense!"
Alison looked up, startled, from the
letter she was writing.
The rooms upstairs? But thought
father was giving up this house?"
He did think of it," agreed Daphne
airily but we've talked it over and
we feel that'd be pity. After all. we

room I'm taking for my boudoir." ;"

Rather expensive, isn't it?" Alison

ROCKVILLE, Md, June 26.-Ad-
mitting the work Of the county asses
sor's office "is three years behind" but
asserting this condition "is due to the
manner in. which the office was con-
Quoted during the previous Democratic
regime" william L. Aud. county as
SCISSOR, defended himself before the
Montgomery County Board of Com
misisoners yesterday against criticism
of Commissioner Robert Hagner, made
ct previous meeting.
Aud told the commissioners he had
placed more property on the assess
ment books in five months than his
Democratic predecessor had in five
years.
Criticizes Board.
In reply to Hagner's contention that
If he had assessed the approximately
$4,000, 900 worth of new property in
the county instead of 100000 worth,
there would be no need for an increase
in the tax rate, Aud insisted that he
had assessed as much property "as was
humanity possible" He fired broad
side at the whole board by declaring
that had it put through tax equaliza-
ton plan, the assessed valuation of
property in the county would be in
creased by approximately $10,000,000,
and added taxes need not have been
raised"
In a letter to the board, which he
requested Ira c. Whitacre, clerk to the
board, to read to the members, Aud
maintained that more than one-half
of the property which he had been
required to assess since taking office
last January should have been as
sessed prior to that time.
Cites Hagner's Property.
Pointing out that all property in
the county is supposed to be assessed
at 60 per cent of its actual value, but
that large speculative tracts belong
ing to many members of the Demo-
cratic organization in the county are
assessed way below the go per cent
ratio, the letter cited property owned
by Hagner as an example.
According to Mr.. Hagner's own
statements" the letter read, "he has
refused a $4,000 cash offer for this
property and is holding it for $780,
600, which he believes to be the true
value Of the property. Based on the
figure Of go per cent of the actual
cash value of the property, this prop
erty should be assessed at $6O, 900, ex-
elusive of improvements. The prop
erty is actually assessed at SASS"
Hagner Defends Figure.
ct honestly baiieve my property
to be assessed the same aS other
property of like value located in the
same area" Eagner replied.
He said he was a member Of the
assessment board at the tine the
assessment was made in 1927 and
'28, but declared he had aothing
to do with making his own assess
ment.
Hagner stated that two other mem
bers of the board had inspected the
area in which his home is located.
