10000 DeIinquents
To GET Tax Notices

About 10000 District residents
who failed to pay personal property
taxes last year will get final bills
in the mail this month. ~
Six thousand of the final notices
highest in District history are
due to arrive this week and another
1000 will be sent out by June 20,
according to Samuel j. Kidd, chief
of delinquent tax collection
The taxpayers will have 10 days
to remit the money after they re-
ceive the notices. If they fail Of
f1cials will file tax liens at District
Court and take steps to seize bank
accounts or property.
People who don't pay will find
we have very effective machinery
for collecting the money without
their consent, Mr.. Kidd bluntly
warned.
Last year, he said, the machinery
netted about $4,000 - most of it
from seized bank accounts. The de-
linquent notices alone, however,
brought in more than 100000, he
pointed out
The tax, Mr.. Kidd said, was due
last September. with final pay
ment deadline set for March. 1t is
based on a tax of $1.75 for each
$500 worth of property. About
10000 residents voluntarily filed
their returns and made the pay
ments, he said

PUG Sifts Arguments :
For Additional Pepco
Refund Of so Cents

The Public Utilities Commission
today had before it additional argu-
ments by the Federal Government
why the Potomac Electric Power
Co. should add another 60 cents
to the $3.50 refund it already has
been told to make to consumers.
In a sewerage statement placed
before the PUG late yesterday
Treasury Attorney Byron E. Hard.
ing supports the claim he made at
a Pepco refund hearing last Tues
day that the power firm should not
be allowed to put into a special
reserve surplus in excess of the
$3,213,601 it has already been Or
dered to refund.
The PUG contends Pepco real
lied $490,482 more in excess earn
ings during 1945 than the figure
used for that year in arriving at
the $3.50 figure. 1t is, this sum that
v. A. McElfresh, PUG accountant.
urged putting into a reserve and
Mr.. Harding urges be refunded.
In his statement Mr.. Harding
contends Mr.. McElfresh was in er-
ror in computing the amount. Tt
should be S5S0,l03 the Government
representative said.
Mr.. McElfresh figures Pepco saved
$780, 1888 in 1945 taxes, whereas Mr..
Harding contends the firm really
saved $276,OO4.
In attacking the plan for spe-
c1al reserve Mr.. Harding said !:
There seems to be no question that
this (reserve) method would be a
definite departure from the sliding
scale arrangement of rate determi-
nation. We suggest that the recon-
mended departure is neither neces-
sary nor desirable
If the reserve idea were aban-
doned, the amount involved would
work out to a 60-cent refund, rails
ing the total refund ordered to S42O.
Applies to 1945 Earnings.
The statement by Mr. Harding ap-
plies only to Pepco's 1945 earnings.
The PUG hearings will be resumed
Thursday to bring out whether the
company earned more or less in the
way of excess profits in 1916 than
the estimate used in figuring the
$3.50 refund.
According to Mr.. McElfresh, 1914
earnings fell slightly under the
estimate and 1916 earnings are likely
to do SO too.
Mr.. Harding wrote the PUG that,
if Pepco is allowed to put the excess
1945 profits into a reserve, the re-
serve should be controlled by the
PUG and be used solely for the
benefit of Pepco consumers.

Beneficiary Resumes
Her Testimony Today
In Edie Will Contest

Miss Julia Schwarz was to return
to the stand today in District Court
as witness in the contest over the
will of the late Capt. John Rufus
Edie.
Miss Schwarz, one of the bene-
fieiaries under Capt. Edie's will and
who had served as nurse for the
late Mrs. Edie, yesterday described
the captain as firm character and
one not easily influenced.
She was placed on the stand by
Attorney Spencer Gordon, who, with
Attorney John Lord O'Brian repre-
sents st. Johns Episcopal Church
Sixteenth and H streets NV. The
church was named to receive the
bulk of the Capt. Edie's estate, which
included some $258,000 in personal
property and his home at 1923 Six
teenth street NV.
Contested by Nephews.
Miss Schwarz was willed $4,000 by
Capt. Edie. Another beneficiary is
her aunt, Mrs. Bertha Schwarz
Capt. Edie's housekeeper, who was
left $4,000 and a number of pet cats
Capt. Edie's will is being contested
by his two nephews, John C. O'Don-
nell of New York, and Charles c.
O'Donnell of North Bend, Greg, and
niece, Mrs. Aileen O'Donnell Bal
tazzi, 2So5 @ street NV, who seek to
have the will declared void, The
nepheWs and niece contend Capt
Edie was of unsound mind and that
undue influence was used on him.
Another witness placed on the
stand yesterday was James E. Dali
gleish, a florist, who said he had
known Capt Edie for many years
and who expressed the belief the
captain was of sound mind
Doctor Says He Was Sane.
Earlier yesterday DR.. Walter Free
man, neuropathologist, testified he
believed Capt. Edie was of sound
mind at the time the captains will
was drawn in March, 1916. DR.
Freeman who examined Capt. Edie's
brain after the captains death, ex-
pressed the belief that any impair
ment of the brain dated from a
stroke which the deceased suffered
in May, 1916, sometime after the
will was drawn.
The case is being heard by Justice
Jennings Bailey and a jury.
