ents' salaries have been raised as

Tax Inspector
For Alexandria
To Be Studied
Council to Meet
Tonight on Proposal
Made by Budwesky

The Alexandria City Council has
scheduled recess meeting tonight
to consider City Manager Carl Bud
wesky's request for the appointment
OF city license and personal prop
erty tax inspector.
Also to be considered is a pro-
posal by Councilman John Joseph
Ewald of the third ward and Coun-
Gilman Everett A. Hellmuth of the
fifth ward for solving the downtown
Alexandria traffic problem on King
street, by routing vehicles one way
eastward down King street toward
the Potomac River, and one way
westward on Prince and Cameron
streets, parallel thoroughfares on
each side of King street.
Mr.. Budwesky's proposal that a
tax inspector be named has been
opposed by Councilman John w.
Tulloch who said he believes the
office would overlap the duties of
the commissioner of revenue.
Charles Aubrey Callahan, COM
missioner OF revenue, is to appear
Tor questioning as to why the city
is not receiving revenue from all
persons subject to personal prop
erty tax, as part of the councils in
vestigation of the revenue problem.
City Has $500 Deficit.
At present the city has a $50 900
deficit from salary increases for
employees which were not anticipat-
| ed in the 1916 budget. According to
the city manager there are hun
dreds of persons in the city subject
to the tax who do not pay it.
Mr.. Budwesky said he believes
the proposed inspector as the city's
representative would be great help
to the commissioner of revenue,
who is an elected State officer
Councilman Thomas A. Hulflsh said
the fact that the commissioner Is
dependent on voters for his Office
may discourage him from pressing
for tax payments.
City Attorney Joseph M. Pancoast
told the council the commissioner
has the right to call in taxpayers
for Understanding their taxes and
persons for nonpayment of taxes,
but he is not required to do so as a
duty. 1t is up to the indivual tax
payer to file a return, under the
law, Mr.. Pancoast said.
22.378 Tax Forms Mailed.
According to Mr.. Callahan, his
Office has mailed 22,378 personal
property tax forms to that many
persons of the estimated 10000 pop
ulation and 3.100 have been re-
turned by the post Office because
the addresses have moved out of
the city.
Mr.. Budwesky pointed out that
the city has two license inspectors
who spend their time tagging auto
mobiles that do not have Alexan-
dria city licenses.
THAT is help to the Office of
the commissioner of revenue, but
We are after bigger sums than the
$3.l0 required for city tag. There
are businesses which must be
checked for permits to operate and
there are large sums due the city
in personal property returns" Mr..
Budwesky said.

The Nisei who distinguished
themselves by their gallantry in the

Police Fail 10 Find
Clues 10 Suicides in
Arlington Home

The body of Miss Albertina E
Pabst, about IS, remained unclaimed
in funeral home today while police
had almost discarded hope of learn
ing why she and Franklin B. At
wood, 46, ended their lives in a
suicide pact.
Miss Pabst has been identified as
former maid who helped rear Mr.
Atwood's three children while he
and his wife lived in Chile. A War
Assets Administration official at the
time of his death, Mr.. Atwood
served as consul to Chile from 1881
to 1885.
The bodies of the couple were
found Sunday at the Atwood home,
1924 North Twenty Eighth street,
Arlington. DR.. w. E. Welburn,
county coroner, issued certificates of
suicide when he found the house
filled with gas from open jets in the
kitchen stove.
Body Sent to Nantucket.
Mr.. Atwood's body was shipped
yesterday evening to Nantucket,
Mass, at the request of his wife,
who was prostrated by the news.
Capt. Hugh Jones of the Arlington
police said Mrs. Atwood had Pc
titioned recently for divorce.
Whether Miss Pabst's body would
be claimed depended on a telegram
dispatched by the Chilean Embassy.
Capt. Jones said he was informed
the woman has sister living in
Chile.
Employed by 6 Washington de-
partment store, Miss Pabst was
known by friends as Mr.. Atwood's
wife"
Checks for $4,000 Found.
No notes were found in the Ar
lington home but police found a
sealed envelope containing two
81 900 checks addressed to a woman
in Miami, Fla. Frederick Stohlman,
attorney for Mr. Atwood, said he
had not determined the woman's
connection.
Before joining WAA July as
chief of the airport branch, export
division, Mr.. Atwood was special

Finance Corp. subsidiary, in Bogota,
Colombia. Previously he had served
