REVENUES[ACCINC
IN BUSINESS LEVY
Big Delinquent Payments
Necessary to Meet
Latest Estimates.

Revenues from the business priv
ilege tax will fall short of even the
latest estimates of District officials,
unless delinquent payments add greatly
to current collections, it was indicated
today.
The deadline for payment Of the
second half of the levy on gross re-
ceipts Of businesses and professional
workers will be reached at midnight
tomorrow. Oficials anticipate rush
Of payments at the last minute.
However, at the latest count, Tax
Collector Chatham M. Towers said
he had received 81 1,324,026. The figure
District officials have been using in
discussions of the proposed new tax
bill was $2,250,00O.
When the business privilege tax was
first considered last year, District Off
cials calculated 1t would produce
$3,O00,OOO, but the results of the first
half payment last fall showed these
expectations were entirely too high.
The business privilege tax is to be
abandoned at the end of this fiscal
year, under present plans.
The District faces deficit of about
s3,700,0 900 under the pending 1899
supply bill. The fiscal affairs sub
committee of the House District Com
mittee now has completed a proposed
tax program calculated to meet the
financial needs, and more. It has
planned bill to raise $5,300,000 ad-
ditional, on a net basis, which would
leave a surplus next year of some
$1,600, 900. A considerable portion of
this surplus, it is anticipated, will be
needed for supplemental and deficiency
appropriations to be offered later.

MILITARY ROADS
CLOSING IS VOTED
House Committee Reports
Bill to End Hazard to
Airport Traffic.

The House Military Affairs Commit
tee voted today to report favorsbly the
bill to close Military road to eliminate
the air and traffic hazard at Washing
ton Airport.
The Senate passed the bill last Fri
day.
Under the proposal the road will
be closed from Highway Bridge ap-
proximately to the southeast corner of
Arlington National Cemetery. In re-
turn, the airport corporation will pay
Arlington County $4,000 for the con-
struction of substitute road between
the Fort Myer area and the Highway
Bridge
Federal officials previously had testi-
fled that the plan was satisfactory, and
this morning Representative Smith,
Democrat, of Virginia, as spokesman
for Arlington County, acquiesced.
There was some sentiment on the
committee in favor of reimbursing the
War Department for the $500 that
was spent on the property when the
road was constructed Is years ago, but
1t was decided to waive this.
Representative Smith said Airing
ton County would object to the money
coming out of the $25,00O it is to
receive to build a new road, and S.
j. Solomon, vice president of the air.
port corporation, indicated doubts
that his board of directors would ap-
prove boosting their offer to make the
payment. Mr.. Solomon said he felt
the airport was offering a service to
the Government that made it worth
while to close the road.
Lieut.. Col. r. D. Valiant of the
Quartermaster Corps expressed the
belief that the War Department
should be reimbursed. He said, how
ever, that the construction of the
new road would relieve the War De-
partment of responsibility for main
tanning a highway in that area, and
he added that if it was necessary for
the Government to replace Military
road it would cost upward Of $40, 900.

.Ju1litOr Claims
Immunity rom
Speeding Arrest
Colored Employe of
Polish Embassy
Found Right.

There are certain international RAM
ifications about the arrest on a speed
ing charge of Stanley Watts. colored
janitor at the Polish Embassy.
Policeman H. w. Carmichael learned
this today when he went to take out
papers against the janitor, who, the
officer contended, was driving his car
at so miles an hour.
When halted by the policeman,
Watts, who lives at 2439 Ontario road
NV, claimed diplomatic immunity"
Officer Carmichael learned from AS
sistant Corporation Counsel Milton
Norman that Watts was within his
rights, since his name was listed
in the pamphlets supplied enforcement
authorities by the embassies and lega-
tions.
As a result, no papers were issued
and Capt. Milton D. Smith, chief
OF the Traffic Division. took the mat
ter up with the State Department
in q letter.
A spokesman for the State Depart
ment said such q letter is rather
unusual" and he was uncertain as to
just what procedure is customary.

Private Mutterings of 'Regimentation'
Are Heard as Ne,U Rules Go Into
Effect-Tricycles Regulated.

please remember that space has
been provided for those who do not
wish to rent garages, and parking on
the street or highway is prohibited"
Some people are shooting near the
homes. Please do not indulge in this
pastime."
Loud Talking Forbidden.
Other suggestions urged study Of
an Official plan before planting any
flower gardens, forbade loud talking at
night, banned use of the lake area by
children for the present, and said the
management had been bothered so
much by people who had locked them
selves out Of their homes that hereafter
a 25-cent charge would be made for a
duplicate key.
1T is our desire" Mr. Braden ex-
planned, Ito assist you in enjoying
yourself to the fullest extent, and any
regulation Is meant only to pro-
tect you and to build up more pleasant
surroundings"
1T is most gratifying to know" he
added, that no regulations are neces-
sary for 80 per cent Of our people.
and We hope that the other 10 per
cent will adjust themselves to the
community life"
Mr.. Braden said he did not wish to
be unreasonable about the rules for
hanging out the family washing, but
he enjoined housewives to please re-
member that if you must do washing
on Sunday, clothes can be hung in
the bathroom or some place not ex-
posed to your neighbor's view"
Clothes hanging on the lines at any
time present a most unattractive
appearance" he said.
Meanwhile, members Of the Green
belt Legion Post grumbled about q
rule which did not appear in the new
list of regulations. They said the
organization had been refused per-
mission to use the community audi
torium for benefit entertainment to
raise funds for post colors and equip
ment for junior baseball team
Through cooperation of neighboring
posts, the affair will be held tomorrow
night in Mount Rainier private hall
donated for the purpose.

Living in the Governments model
community" at Greenbelt, Md, became
more complicated today for any
such things as when to hang out the
washing and where the children should
ride their tricycles
There were private mutterings about
Recommendation" but no public COM
plants as Greenbeltians studied nearly
1000 words of new regulations and
suggestions" issued by Community
Manager Roy S. Braden ito promote
the ideas of those who provided US
with the community"
"Greenbelt has been planned for a
community to be enjoyed" the edict
informed the tenants, but at the same
time 1t has been the desire to have q
community beautiful.
Therefore, it remains for us all to
put forth every effort to promote this
general idea; and, In doing 50, we must
first realize that We are a part Of COM
munity life instead Of individual phi
losophies."
List Of Suggestions.
A warning that failure to observe
the conditions set forth may
jeopardize your continued residence
in Greenbelt" stood out in the preface
to such suggestions" as:
Have all clothing removed from
the lines and the lines taken down
not later than pm. each after
noon, and no clothing, bedding or
other materials shall be placed on
these lines on Sunday"
Keep on the walks or those areas
designated for play and do not use
the lawns until they have a chance
to get started. At no time will or
ganized play be permitted on the
lawns"
Roller skating, riding Of scooters
and tricycles or coasting on wagons
through the underpasses or on the
grass or approaches to the under
passes is strictly forbidden"
Riding of bicycles on sidewalks
is prohibited"
Roller skating will not be permitted
after daylight hours, except in the
mercantile and community center
