Christmas Greetings

OeC. o. 1919
My dear Friends:
1t is a pleasure to greet you
again on the occasion of the
Christmas holidays, an may
Christian fellowship, goodwill
and brotherhood be shoWered
upon us, now and in the days to
come.
Feelings of rebirth irresistjbIy
come upon man during the ad-
vent of Christmas. One is made
to realize that he is but a Gre
alton of the SUPREME BEING
even as he pauses to think that
mankind is but one big family.
Fittingy, therefore, man should
reconsecrate himself to the
thought that goodwill and bro
therhood are undeniable funda-
mentaIs in human relations. 1t
is with this spirit that extend
to each and everyone of you a
very Merry Christmas and
Happy New Year.

Problem in Prince Georges:
Did Riqht Mrs. Hall Get Job?

There seems to be a case of
mistaken identity in Prince
Georges County, and the wrong
person may have a civic post
meant for some one else.
Some weeks ago the county
commissioners appointed 81
members to citizens commit
tee on incorporating the sub
urban communities in the coun-
ty into Maryland City," thus
combining them into what would
be the States second biggest
city.
One appointee was Mrs. w. j.
Hall of University Park.
At today's commission meeting
in Upper Marlboro the county
board learned there are two Mrs.
w. j. Halls in University Park
and the wrong one reportedly
showed up for the citizens COM
mittee organization meeting.
Thomas Hicks, the boards
clerk, said he understood the
commissioners appointment was
mailed to the correct Mrs. Hall
but that she did not attend the
organization meeting. The other
Mrs. Hall, however, read in the
newspapers that Mrs. w. j. Hall
had been appointed, assumed
the appointment was for her,
and went to the meeting. And

recommended against any
change in the act.
"The rents of these recondi-
toned houses have been raised,
and some of them are now oc-
cupied by families who can af-
ford good street dwellings when
moderate cost or moderate rental
street dwellings become avail
able" the committee reported.
Despite improvements. the
committee said, alley dwellings
tend Ito perpetuate basically bad
conditions, such as land over
crowding, inaccessibility and
concealment from public view.
But those who want the act
amended point out that the rem
ovated homes contain an average
of one to three persons, in place
of the eight, 10 or a dozen some
times living there before. And
some of them regard the Con
cealment" charge as an invasion
of privacy.
Alley dwellings have been

more than 80 years. The first

ton of such housing was passed

Alexandra Workers
Denied Raise, Hope
For Better Hours

Alexandria police, f1remen and
other city employees lost their
campaign for pay raises last
night, but won hope for i'm
proved working hours and holi-
day leave.
About $50 police, firemen and
municipal workers packed the
council chamber to hear four
attorneys present their pleas for
higher salaries.
They petitioned for increases
after the council several weeks
ago voted to raise salaries of
department heads. The depart
ment head increases later were
revoked.
Living Cost Rise Cited.
Attorneys representing the
employees last night said the pay
increases were needed because of
rising living costs. They argued
that an unexpected surplus in
city funds was sufficient to cover
their requests.
Vice Mayor Leroy Bendheim
said it would cost the city $780,
900 to grant all the increases
requested, whereas only slightly
more than $4,000 remained in
the contingency fund for the
rest of this year.
"The only way we could grant
these requests would be to in
crease the real estate tax rate
by 80 cents in January. We don't
want to do that with new assess
ments already increasing many
tax bills by 40 per cent next
year." said Mr.. Bendheim.
Mayor Marshall j. Beverley
admitted the council erred when
it hastily granted pay increases
to all department heads.
He reminded the city employees
that they received an average
z per cent salary increase July l,
and some increases amounted to
10 per cent.
Job ClassificatiOnS Studied.
He said the current govern
ment survey includes a study of
job classifications, and recon-
mended that any major changes
in pay scales await results of
the survey.
City Manager Ira Willard
said he expected the job classi-
fication portion of the survey
would be ready in time for con-
sideration with the 1954-5
budget.
On motion of Mr.. Bendheim,
it was voted to let Mr.. Willard
make any changes in holidays,
working hours and other bene-
fits which he believes suitable,
within limitations of the present
budget. Police want a 40-hour
week, time off for time spent
in court, and time off for holi-
days. Firemen want similar
benefits. Other city workers
want to return to a 35-hour
work week, which was extended
to a 40-hour week September !.
