County Federation
Orders Draft Of Bill
For Building Code
Prince Georges Group
Also Demands Engineer
To Enforce Provisions

Describing lack of an adequate
building code for Prince Georges
County Md as shameful, the
County Federation of Citizens As
sociations last night instructed
Daniel M. Greene, chairman of its
Legislative Committee, to draft a
bill providing for establishment of
code with teeth in it, and call
ing for appointment of a county
engineer to enforce it. The group
met in the County Service Building
in Hyattsville.
Luis Granados. chairman of the
County Affairs Committee, recalled
that the federation had been told
three years ago by representatives
of the Maryland National Capital
Park and Planning Commission that
1t was preparing a building code.
Il haven't seen it yet" he as
serted, land meanwhile building
conditions in the country, which
were bad at that time, are getting
worse. It's absurd for a county
having a population of loo, 900 to be
without formal building code and
county engineer"
Mr.. 0ranados added that there is
only one building inspector in the
county "and he is so busy enforcing
War Production Board regulations
concerning housing construction
that he has no time to enforce the
so-called code we have now"
The federation indorsed a pro-
posal by the County Board Of Edu-
cation calling for the introduction
of bill in the State Legislature CIV
ing the county commissioners au-
thority to issue 100000 worth of
bonds for postwar school construc-
ton.
The group also urged the county
delegation to the Legislature to in
troduce bill authorizing the Mary
land National Capital Park and
Planning Commission to issue bonds
to match funds already available to
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission for the construc-
ton of a parkway along the Poto-
mac River to Fort Washington. The
entire proposed parkway would be
In Prince Georges County.

OF one third on 1912 income tax
returns.
Provisions Explained.
The bill, which was to be In
troduced by Chairman White Of the
Ways and Means Committee, pro-
vides that after the totals Of per
cent on earned income and per
cent on unearned income have been
reached, the taxpayer will deduct
one-third of the total and pay the
remainder.
Gov. O'Conor said that since the
1912 State income tax return forms
had already been printed, the deduc-
ton would be made from the final
computation.
The bill would be an emergency
measure taking effect Immediately
on passage by three-fourths of the
membership of both houses. The
1912 State income tax is payable
April Is.
The Governor promised in his
budget message that similar reduc-
tions would be provided for the next
two years taxes.
The Senate already has under
consideration bill. offered by Sem
ator Wilmer Fell Davis, Republican,
of Caroline, which would make a
fat reduction OF one-half in the in
come tax rates. This bill would also
apply to 1912 taxes and would re-
duce the rates rather than allow a
reduction from the final computa-
ton.

New Fire-5igna| Plan
For Montgomery 10
Be Studied Sunday
Chiefs und OCD Aides
To Discuss Changes New
Rules Make Necessary

Chiefs of Montgomery County
volunteer fire departments will meet
with county civilian defense officials
Sunday at the Chevy Chase fire.
house to discuss new signals for the
fire departments made necessary by
new blackout and AFRAID regula-
tions that will become effective
February II.
Judge Albert E. Brault. county
civilian defense director, who called
the meeting, said that the new ban
on any signal that might be con-
fused with AFRAID signals presents
a difficult problem in the county.
Nearly all county fire departments
still use sirens to summon f1remen
to fight fires, he pointed out, and
some other system will have to be
worked out. ....
Sirens can only make two clearly
distinguishable sounds-the steady,
even note and the fluctuating or
wailing note. One of these must be
used for blackout and mobilization
of civilian defense workers. which is
the blue" signal. and the other
must be reserved for the air-raid
red" signal, when all ligAts 60 out
and the public takes shelter.
The ban may even affect use OF
sirens on the flre apparatus, and
this also viii be discussed.
Civilian defense personnel of the
county will hold three area meetings
before February II to discuss the
new regulations and signals. Judge
Brault announced. County ministers
and priests, all of whom are chap
lains in civilian defense. will be
asked to explain the new signals,
either from the pulpit or in their
church bulletins.

On Taking Up
New Pay Bill
80 Pct. Increose for
4S-Hr. Week Provided
In Senote Measure

Chairman Downey of the Senate
OWL Service Committee and Sena-
tor Mead, Democrat, OF New York
are expected to confer within a day
or two to make plans for the con-
sideration of the new wartime pay
bill for Government employees, intro
duced in the Senate yesterday.
BY paying departmental employees
time and a half for all work over
40 hours, the bill would mean a 80
per cent increase above the Novem-
Der pay level for a 48-hour week, or
a Is per cent increase above Novem-
Der for 44-hour week.
The temporary law now in effect
until April 80 is based on time and
a quarter for work over 40 hours and
results in raise of 216 per cent
above November levels for 48 hours,
or about 10 per cent for A hours.
Also Provides Flat Rate.
For those whose hours are not
adaptable to overtime computations
the new bill gives fiat Is per cent
raise in place of the fiat 10 per cent
they are getting from the temporary
law. Employees of the legislative and
judicial branches are covered by this
provision.
In explanation of the 80 per cent
increase for per annum employees in
the departments, on the overtime
basis. Senator Mead points out that
20 per cent of this raise is for extra
hours of work. leaving only 10 per
cent as basic pay increase.
All increases, whether overtime or
nat percentage, would continue to
be computed only on the first 81, 900
Of salary. The 5000 ceiling in
the temporary law has been re-
moved, however. so that a person
in the $500 bracket could also get
an increase on $4,000 of his salary.
No increases would be granted by
the bill, however, to heads of de-
partments. members of Congress or
other elected officials, judges, field
workers in the postal service or en-
ployes covered by wage boards.
Separate Bills for Some.
The postal workers are to be pro-
vided for in separate legislation
already pending. In the District
government, the bill applies only to
employees under the Classification
Act, leaving policemen, f1remen and
school teachers also to be dealt with
in separate bills.
The new measure would take
effect May l and continue until
June 80, 1945, unless the House and
Senate should terminate it by con-
current resolution on an earlier
date. The intent is to continue the
increases until the war is over.
The change from time and a !
quarter to time and a half in COM
putting overtime in the departments |
Is accomplished by using 260-day
work year as the divisor In arriving
1t overtime.
