Pepco Wins Refund
OF 500 Tax on Deed

The Maryland Court of Appeals
has confirmed a decision of the
Prince Georges County Circuit Court
which granted the Potomac Electric
Power Co. a refund of a $500 re-
cording tax.
The high court affirmed the lower
bench after considering a provision
of the 1887 legislative enactment au-
thorizing 10 per cent tax levy on
every $100 in a written instrument
securing debt. The provision stip-
ulates that the tax should not be
levied If no increase in the debt or
mortgage value is made in the record
and there are no changes in the
wording or provisions.
In this case the power company
had executed a trust mortgage in
1896 on its property to the Riggs
National Bank to secure bond is
sue of $15.O00000.
The mortgage was filed in Prince
Georges and Montgomery Counties,
the only counties in Maryland in
which the company owns property,
and when a duplicate was filed in
1889 with the clerk of the Circuit
Court of Charles County the clerk
demanded the recording tax, then in
force.
On the ground that the deed was
duplicate, the Prince Georges Cir
cult Court decided that such a rec
ord was not taxable and the State
Tax Commission appealed.

Eggs Too Bly,
OPA Gives Ickes
Higher CeHinq

Eggs from the farm of Secretary
of the Interior Ickes are of such
superla tive size and quality that they
don't fit into the price ceilings es-
tabllshed for ordinary run-of the
mill eggs, it was learned today.
The Ickes eggs are known to the
trade and the Agriculture Depart
ment as jumbos and are selling for
Sc cents a dozen at a downtown
grocery. This, says the OPA, is the
correct price Ordinary grade A
eggs cost So cents dozen in a car
ton. so cents in bulk.
The OPA reported that not many
jumbo eggs are produced. but a
section of the maximum price reg
ulations allowed price differential
for this size
The manager of the grocery,
which has been handling eggs from
the Ickes farm for the last three
years, said other farmers could pro-
duce some jumbo eggs if they bred
their chickens scientifically, the way
Mrs. 1ckes does. He said even the
best behaved hens can't be counted
on to produce more than about six
to eight dozen jumbos in every $50
dozen eggs

.Hebert Urges
Full Power for
Commissioners
Would Abolish All
Laws Relating to
District Government
BY CAMBRIDGE CRIST.

Representative Hebert, Democrat,
OF Louisiana, chairman of a a.House
District subcommittee holding a
on his bill to grant addi-
tlonal powers to the Commissioners,
said at committee hearing today
that the Commissioners should have
authority to run the local govern
ment.
Mr.. Hebert said that if he had his
way he would abolish all the laws
relating to the District government
and adopt a one-paragraph statute
vesting authority in the Commits
sloners. He said that one difficulty
now was that it was hard to fill the
District committees and that new
members knew little or nothing
about the local government.
At the outset of the hearing. held
in the old House Office Building,
Richmond B. Keech, corporation
counsel, and Representative Bates,
Republican, Of Massachusetts, a
member of the subcommittee, diff
tered over the Interpretation of a
clause in the bill which would re-
quire those in the business of plumb
ing or gas fitting, installing, MAIN
tanning or repairing heating, venti-
latlng, air conditioning, or mechani-
cal refrigerating apparatus, to furn-
ish bonds for the performance OF
their work in accordance with Dis
trict regulations. The section does
not apply to utilities companies.
Bates Outlines Objection.
Mr.. Bates said his objection was
that it was an attempt to guarantee
private contracts. Mr.. Keech, how
ever, argued that it was a per-
formance guaranteed only insofar as
observance of municipal rules and
regulations were concerned
1t was finally suggested that the
bonding section be supplemented
with requirement of competency
on the part of those performing the
work.
In regard to the section of the
bill which would authorize the Com
mlsslOnerS to appoint employees as
contracting officers Mr.. Bates rec
commended that no contract should
be altered by contracting officer
if it involved more than an amount
to be specified in the bill.
Mr.. Keech said. however, he felt
there was sufficient protection from
abuse, since any change had to be
within the scope and intent of the
contract and that expenditures had
to be approved by the controller
general.
Change Suggested
Mr.. Bates suggested that the
clause to permit the Commissioners
to suspend any officer or employe,
under such rules or regulations as
they may prescribe, be changed to
require suspension, with cause"
Mr.. Bates also expressed fear that
the proposed power to the Com
missioners granting them the right
to vest in the director of inspections
all of the duties of the inspector of
buildings, inspector of plumbing and
the electrical engineer, would result
in duplication of authority. Mr..
Keech pointing out that the bill
granted the Commissioners only the
right to transfer the powers to the
director of inspections, said the in
tent was to make it possible for
papers to go through various Offices
and then head up" to one Office.
Commissioner Young, in giving his
general approval to the bill, said the
Board of Commissioners feels there
is room for some changes and that
they were very anxious to see
something like this" enacted into
law

Accord on Jurisdiction
Over Federal Areas in
Arlington Forecast
Progress Reported in
PurIey With Gov. Dorden
On McCurrun Bill

The outlook was bright today for
an agreement between Virginia Off
cials and the Senate District Com
mittee over the McCarran bill to
make District laws and regula tions
applicable to the Federal reserva-
/ tlonS in nearby Arlington County,
following an informal conference
at the Capitol yesterday.
Gov. Colgate w. Darden, jr., of
Virginia; his attorney general.
Abram P. Staples and Senator Byrd.
Democrat, of Virginia met with
Chairman McCarran, Julian Sauer-
wine, District Committee counsel,
and representatives of the War De-
partment to 60 over the jurisdic-
tional problems that have multi
piled since the Federal activities
spread to the other side Of the Po-
tomac.
Senator Byrd said he and Gov.
Darden would never agree to cede
a foot Of Virginia territory, and
Chairman McCarran agreed that
the changing of boundaries is not
contemplated or involved in the
bill.
Involves Federal Laws.
Senator McCarran and Mr.. Sauer-
wine explained the only purpose
is to have Congress declare that
District laws apply to the Federal
reservations. including the Penta-
gon Building, the Navy Annex, the
National Airport, Arlington Gene
terry and Fort Mver.
The Virginia State officials were
represented as being ready to agree
to this general objective, provided
any safeguards deemed necessary by
Arlington County officials are writ
ten in. The conferees recessed un-
til next week to enable the State
officers to consult county representa-
tives.
One of the questions that prompt
ed Senator McCarran to draft the
bill was the differential in bus fares
over the several lines operating
from Washington to the Federal
buildings in Arlington County.
Airport in Dispute.
Earlier, disputes arose over wheth-
er District or Virginia laws applied
to the airport. When he intro
duced the bill several months ago,
Senator McCarran said:
There is an evident and pressing
need to have the jurisdiction of the
appropriate agencies of the District
of Columbia embrace the buildings
and grounds referred to, as we'll as
the access roads, all of which are
owned by the Federal Gocernment.
Only by this means will the admin
istration of these Federal offices To-
Gated south of the Potomac River
be placed on an even footing with
Federal Offices located on the north
side of the river
In addition to public utility regu-
lation, the intent of the bill is to
remove any doubt of court jurisdic-
ton over ordinary police, health and
safety regulations.
