Mail Business
Doubles Rate
At POOlesville

The addition of the Seneca Post
Office to the Poolesville Post
Office on October 1 has nearly
doubled the amount of postal
business for the Poolesville off
ice, Postmaster Charles w. Elgin
announced this week.
In 1910, when Mr.. Elgin became
postmaster at Poolesville, there
were approximately 40 local box
es and about 100 rural boxes on
the route which has been served
by Rozier Bodmer for more than
40 years.
Today, counting the new mail
patrons which were annexed by
the Poolesville office on October
l from the Seneca area, there are
more than 200 rural boxes served,
Mr.. Elgin says.
Today there are more than 80
local boxes, and it was about a
year ago that lock boxes first
became available at the Pooles-
vile post office.
Mr.. Bodmer now serves the
Seneca rural patrons on what is
known as Route 2, Poolesville.

Governor Wunts
Budget Estirnutes in
by FebruurY 10th

Governor de Castro has is
sued a call to all department
heads to submit budget esti-
mates for the fiscal year July
!, 1854 to June 80, 1856.
The budget concept this
year is materially different
from previous years, he said,
declaring that there will be
one budget estimate for adj
ministrative use for the whole
Virgin Islands government, in
Guiding all funds and all acti-
vities. "This single document
will be so constructed as to
provide for requesting apprQ-
priations from the two NUM-
zcipal GouneilsHeErom a sin
gle legislature should this pro
vision of a new organic act be
in effect"
Single appropriations for
each department will be sug-
gested to the legislature,
based on approved programs
thus eliminating the multi
tude of allotment accounts &
the cumbersome procedure of
transferring funds throughout
the year from one sub item
to another, the Governor said.
Complete budget submis-
sions are to be delivered to
the Governor not later than
February 20. The Governor is
required to submit a draft of
budget to the legislature not
later than April.

.0ks Insanitary
Building Bill
House Acts Monday;
Senators Moy Tuke
Representatives Plan
By Miriam Gutenberg

The bill giving the city power
to force owners to repair or
remove buildings condemned as
insanitary today won the ap-
proval Of the House District
Committee and goes to the
House floor for action on Dis
trict day. Monday.
Representative O'Hara, Re.
publican, of Minnesota, whose
Judiciary subcommittee worked
over the bill. said he would con-
Ter later today with Senator
Beall, Republican, of MARYLAND.
Senator Beall sponsored the
measure in its original form on
the Senate side.
Senator Beall. who made an
inspection tour of some of the
house affected by the bill, said
ne recognized the need for i'm.
mediate legislation, but wants to
study the changes made on the
House side. f}
May Take House Plan.
"Unless there is some obiec-
ton to the House bill in its re-
written FORM" he added. II will
suggest to the committee that
we take the House bill to save
time"
The Senate District Commit
tee is expected to meet early
next week.
Mr.. O'Hara pointed out that
Senator Beall had agreed to wait
until the House District Com
mittee had finished it's work on
the bill so House and Senate
versions would be in harmony.
The Commissioners originally
sought a simple amendment TO
increase their powers over con-
demned buildings. At present
the Board for the Condemna-
tion of Insanity Buildings can
order the places vacated and
barricaded. but cannot force
owners to fix them up or tear
them down.
AS the bill came out of the
House committee, it represents
a complete rewrite of the law
covering inSanitary buildings.
Detailed Appeal Procedures.
Since the increased powers
granted in the bill would in eff.
feet permit the city to take prop
erty without compensation, the
District Committee set up de-
tailed appeal machinery-in-
Guiding the right of appeal to q
review board dominated by nom
District-employe property own.
ers and the further right of ap-
peal to Municipal Court.
The bill also limits condem-
nation action under this legisla-
ton to conditions reasonably re-
lated to sanitation. Owners could
not be forced to comply with
other building regulations before
a condemned property could be
reoccupied.
Another change makes ten
ants liable to penalties If it can
be proved that they were respon-
sible for insanitary conditions.
Owners of the hundreds of prop
critics now under condemnation
could get the same right of ap-
peal as those whose places are
condemned after the act takes
effect. The city could not move
against them for at least six
months from the effective date
of the legislation.

0ccoquan Workhouse
Has No Escape in Year

The District Workhouse for
prisoners at Occoquan, Va, to.
day established a record by com.
pleting a full year without an
escape.
Donald Clemmer, director Of
the Department of Corrections,
hailed the record in a statement
praising Supt. William F. Elem.
ing and the entire staff.
Mr.. Clemmer said the record
is remarkable because there are
no walls and no fences at the
WorkhouSe, which admitted
1892 prisoners in the last fiscal
year. The average daily popula-
tion was 1918.
The director noted, for pur-
poses Of contrast, that an aver
age of 80 escapes are reported
each month at a similar insti-
tuition in Detroit.
The last escape from Occoquan
occurred July 10, 1853. when a
prisoner being treated for tuber-
culosis crawled away from the
hospital. He was captured 10
days later.
