Gas Ration Blanks
| Will Be Returned

Whitney Leary, OPA director
for the District, said last night
that a large percentage of gaso-
line ration applications were
improperly filled out by regis

said, would have to be returned
to the car owners for correc-
ton.
Registrants must contact
their local boards in all mat
tiers pertaining to rationing,
Mr.. Leary advised. He reported
some confusion about the proper
place to go.
Mr.. Leary commended the
public generally, however, for
its cooperation during the
three-day registration period.

working in three shifts Of 10 stluee
log clerks, three plotting 0lhc6fsi

In supplying control center vol

who are free to leave their homes

Relief Sought
For Hospitals
Put on Tax LIST
Hunter Moves to Get
Institutions Stotus
Clearly Defined

Possible tax relief for hospitals,
charitable, patriotic and educa-
tional institutions, recently placed
on the tax rolls by the District Com
missioners under strict interpreta-
ton of tax laws, is promised by
Representative Hunter, Democrat,
of Ohio, chairman Of the fiscal af-
fairs subcommittee of the House
District Committee.
He has asked Corporation Coun-
sci Richmond B. Keech to draft
new legislation specifically defining
and clarifying the District tax pro-
visions with respect to such 1nsti-
tutions. He said last night his pur-
pose Is to use that draft during q
thorough study of the tax law, to
determine to what extent various
institutions should be exempt.
Mr.. Hunter was aroused to take
such action by many protests re-
ceived from such institutions re-
Gently denied exemption.
Aid Of d. C. Bar Sought.
Cooperation of the District Bar
Association will be asked by Mr..
Hunter in reviewing the District
tax laws with his subcommittee. He
will ask that special committee
of the Bar Association be named to
study and report on institutional tax
laws and exemptions IN various
States.
Mr.. Hunter said he believes such
study will show that most States
exempt hospitals and educational
buildings from taxation and are
more lenient to charitable institu-
tions than is the District.
Charitable institutions operated
without charge to inmates" and
without profit or income are exempt
under the District tax laws, and
educational buildings mot used for
private gain" Mr.. Hunter explained.
indicating he felt this was too strict
limitation.
ID. C. Action Protested.
When the District was faced with
the necessity of finding new tax
sources to meet the mounting ap-
propriations required for . rapidly
growing city, . special board headed
by Budget Ofncer Walter Fowler
recommended that q number Of pri-
vate hospitals and educational in
stitutions be placed on the tax lists
under strict Interpretation Of the
law.
This included such institutions IS
the National Geographic Society and
the National Academy Of Sciences.
Protests were filed by practically all
Of these institutions and are pending
before the courts, the Commissioners
or the Board Of Tax Appeals.
Mr.. Hunter pointed out that the
National Academy of Sciences was
I:created by Act of Congress. He said
In his opinion other quasi-govern-
mental institutions, such as the
Mellon Art Gallery, might also be
held subject to taxation under strict
Interpretation Of the District laws.

OTTAWA, July 81 canadian
Press .-Canada's productive opera

NEW YORK, July 21.-Rails, steels

The war news still was uninspiring
and imitation psychology seemed to

and, as this touched on no real

The chilling feature OF the pro-

sluggishness Of dealings. While ac-

The ability of railway stocks and

the non- imitation class-was viewed
by financial quarters as a healthy
indicator. 1t was stressed, though.
that there remains wide disparity
between current quotations fo1
many carrier equities and actual
earnings. Atlantic Coast Line, fol
instance, has been selling around rs
or under, whereas 1912 net for the
road has been forecast at about $21
a share.
Bond Market Improves.
The bond market showed general
improvement today under leadership
of rails and utilities. Going into the
