Greenbet Coop Asks
To Be Freed Of Tax

Spokesman for the Greenbelt
cooperative, virtually the only
business enterprise in the COM
munity, have asked the city gov
ernment to drop a regulation re-
quiring the coop to pay q mu-
nicipal personal property tax on
its holdings.
Samuel Ashelman, general man.
ager of Greenbelt Consumer Serv-
ices, made this request to the City
Council last night.
A tax bill for about $1,000 was
sent the cooperative last month.
Mr.. Ashelman said that If the
coop is required to pay such taxes
the funds will have to come from
surpluses which have been dis
tributed to members of the nom
profit organization.
The $1,000 tax is computed from
the city's $3.11 rate for 1949, the
highest in the county. Greenbelt
residents do not feel the effect Of
this rate because they pay their
rentals to the Federal Government,
which in turn annually appropri-
ates payments in lieu of taxes for
the operation Of the town.
Mayor Elizabeth Harrington and
the Council referred the question
to, the city counsel's Office for in
vestigation.
The Council approved plan to
plant a number of evergreen trees
about the community center and
the city's schools as memorial to
the late Angus B. MacGregor,
landscape architect for the COM
munity since it was founded in
1887. Mr.. MacGregor died De-

The Marines came to Washing
ton in 1900 to guard the Navy
Yard, and they've been doing it
ever since.
Although officially the first
Marine detachment arrived here
on March 81, 1900, the bright-red
uniform of the Marines was a IA
miliar sight on Washington's
muddy roads months before then.
Recruiting In Georgetown.
1t. Thomas Barclay was re-
cruiting for the Marines in
Georgetown. There he set up
recruiting rendezvous" and was
successful enough to report to
Marine headquarters in Philadel-
phia that he had gotten some en-
listments.
First official call from Washing
ton for Marine assistance came in
February, 1900, when Capt. Thom-
as Tingey, first superintendent of
the Navy Yard, asked for a COM
pany of Marines to guard and
protect the materials and pro-
posed site of the Navy Yard.
The following month, Sergt
Jonathan Meredith and IL Marines
were sent here from Baltimore,
reported to 1t. Barclay and estab-
lished the first Marine Barracks
here.
Lodged in Tents.
The question of finding perma-
nent home for the Marine Corps
didn't get immediate attention,
however. AS Secretary of the Navy
Stoddert wrote to Col. w. w. Bur-
rows, first Marine commandant, on
June %:
II have had so many things to
attend to since my arrival here
that I have scarcely been able to
think about the Marines. Capt.
Tingey points out some houses to
me this morning, which think
will very well answer for bar
racks"
But for many months, the
Marines were lodged in tents on
E street between Twenty third
and Twenty fifth street NV. Col.
Burrows told a friend the ther-
mometer in his tent recorded 81
degrees.
Troubles With Liquor.
Col. Burrows had other trou-
bles. He complained to the city
Commissioners that one Charles
Purdy was selling liquor to his
men, thereby occasioning great
disturbances in the camp in this

ing permanent home for the

PriinceGeorges
Group 10 Fight
Bus Fare Rise
Committee Plans
Protest at PSC
Hearing Jan. "a

Prince Georges County's Joint
Transportation Committee will
register its protest against the pro-
posed fare increase of the Capital
Transit Co. at a public hearing
before the Maryland Public Serv-
ice Commission in Baltimore at
10 am. January "a.
Walter F. Mulligan, president Of
the County Civic Federation and
also chairman Of the transporta-
tion group, said yesterday he and
others would appear to oppose
the transit company's request.
The two-year-old committee is
ready to go into action again"
despite feeling by many county
citizens that they are fighting a
losing BATTLE" Mr.. Mulligan de-
clared.
Request Held Exorbitant.
The transit company has ap-
piled to the Public Service Com
mission for permission to increase
it's Maryland fares in each zone
from to 7 cents.
The request is absolutely ex-
orbitant," Mr.. Mulligan asserted.
They're just going to drive peo-
pie into using their own cars
more"
The committee chairman de-
clared. higher fares would mean
decreased patronage and, eventu-
ally, less service.
We're always opposed to fare
increases because they bring
about a reduction in service" he
added.
Mr.. Mulligan charged that the
transit company's contention that
its Maryland and District lines
are two separate operations is
rank discrimination" District
residents now can ride all over
Washington for 13 cents, he
pointed out. In Maryland, the
fare is cents for each ~ miles.
IS Cents to Gfeenbelt.
Greenbelt residents, under the
proposed request, would have to
pay 35 cents each way between
Mount Rainier and another 13
cents each way between there
and the District. Mr.. Mulligan
explained.
Mr.. Mulligan said the transit
company already has been Sue
cessful in obtaining the cent
fare zones; in eliminating weekly
passes; in separating its opera
tions by having lines terminate
at the District line and in making
school children pay adults fares.

Equipment in Place
To Push White House
Renovating Work

With new equipment moved in
on the White House grounds, off,
cials said today the job of reno
waiting the mansion is going ahead
in earnest.
Officials of John McShain, Inc,
the main contractor, explained
that, up to this point, they have
been waiting to coordinate the
preliminary details. They now
have the required technical in
formation to proceed with the
first phase of the work.
The layman can see evidence of
the construction work that will
make the White House a modern
dwelling and give it the latest con-
|veniences. The foundation ex-
perts, Spencer, White & Prentis
OF New York. one Of the McShain
subcontractors, have brought in
equipment. This includes truck
crane, two or three electric hoists
and other equipment necessary in
the underpinning of the walls and
excavating phase of the task.
The foundation work is ex-
pected to take from 10 to IL
months, officials explained. This
will be done by digging pits in the
ground and building the walls of
the venerable mansion up from
the new cellar. thus giving the
White House a basement for the
first time. About a dozen such
pits will be dug.
At the peak OF the work, not
expected for at least four or five
months, there will be from $50 te
300 men employed on the job
officials pointed out.
The workmen will be subject to
security regulations, the same as
any one else who works around
the White House. They will have
to wear special badges and be
checked in and out by police all
thorities there.
