| Woman Acquires
Auction Bargain
Tombstone at $40

A quick young woman with an
eye for bargains in the realm of
the dead bought a 1,500-pound
granite tombstone for $40 at an
auction yesterday.

personal use for her bargain. the
young woman, who insisted upon
anonymity, swiftly made a deal
with Vito Croce, a stone cutter,
of 1854 Bladensburg road NE.
looking for either bargains or
business.
When Mr.. Croce solicited the
job of carving the young woman's
name on her tombstone. she
countered by offering to sell it
to him. Mr.. Croce' hauled the
stone to his yard where it will
be resold on a commission basis
when a customer who wants his
name carved on 1t can be found.
A second tombstone which was
sold for $210 to a man who also
withheld his name was carted to
Mr.. Croce's stoneyard.

seized by the United States Mar
shaps Office to satisfy a claim
against local monument supply
company, were sold by Adam A.
Weschler g. Son, at 905 E street

directed Finance Director Alex
ander K, Hancock to pay to in
corporated towns in the county
for 1949 the same proportionate
share of motor vehicle registration
receipts which they received dur
ing 1947 and 1948.
The council noted that many
motor vehicle owners failed to
designate the town or special tax
ing area in which they live when
they filled out their application
blanks for tags.

Chevy Chase Village complained
to the council that the COM
munity's receipts in motor vehicle
registration fees had dropped
from $3.50 in 1948 to only $845
this year. This, he said, was
caused by council ruling which
prevented return of the funds un-
less the tag applications included
the name of the municipality.

tise for bids on the construction
