perts advised the installation OF
the meters for the mental fac
tor involved. The experts said
they found that, regardless of
the cost. meters cut down use OF
water by at least 80 per cent.
Householders will turn off the
water if they think it will run
up their bill. Otherwise, the ex-
perts declared, they just let it
run or use the precious fluid pro-
miscously.
Building their own water sys-
tenn entailed the laying of $500
feet Of 4-inch pipe and 800 feet
of 3-inch line.
Within the next two years,
phase No. 2 of their water prof.
ect will be put into operation.
This consists of installation of
fire plugs, the digging Of another
well and construction of a sec

the demand during peak hours

Since taxes can be levied on

Welfare Gets
Child Order

The District Commissioners
today ordered the Welfare De-
Epartment to continue accepting
all children committed to 1t by
Juvenile Court.
| The action came in approving
an opinion by Corporation
Counsel Vernon E. West.
The opinion was issued in re-
Isponse to a question by Director
Gerard M. Shea of the Welfare
Department, who had asked
whether the department could
refuse to accept children COM
mitted by Juvenile Court "un-
less facilities are available"
| He pointed out that because
of overcrowding of inadequate
facilities "the department has
been forced to release children
from the Industrial Home
School at Blue Plains after ar
average stay OF only three
months.
This is not sufficient time te
redirect and train children into
acceptable behavioyS. AS a re.
suit, there has been high rat'
of recidivism repeating by Of
Ifenders) and the department ha:
been criticized for its action.
During this same period il
has also, at times, been neces'
lsary to hold committed children
in the Receiving Home becaus'
space and suitable facilities ar
mot available in the other insti'
buttons"
Answering the question Of Mr.
Shea, Mr.. West declared. 9Th

init or not commit such children

to accept and make suitable pro

Revision of a tax increase pro-
gram for the District already is
under way in the Office of FL
nance Ofiicer James L. Martin
he disclosed today.
High on the list of proposed
increases, he said. will be a rec
lommendation for a boost in the
lcity's real estate tax rate. Last
July / the Districts revenues
from real estate were fortified
by an increase of $44.380.323 In
the total assessed valuation.
Mr.. Martin said the figure
for July /. 1855 was 81 1896, 704,-
1928 as compared to $1.S52,323,-
COS on July /. 1854. This, he
calculated, should yield a tax
revenue of $41,727.666 at the
current rate of $3.50 for each
$500 of assessed valuation.
Won't Cover Deficit
Although this is $976. 1856
higher than the yield for last
year. it is far from enough to
cover the SIS million deficit fol
this year which Congress will
be asked to cover next January
through an increased revenue
program. The District Commits
sioners refused to boost the rate
last month and decided to leave
the problem up to Congress.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Martin rec
commended to the Commissioners

proposed revenue program be

sion on a date was postponed

Holy Spirit convicts or convinces
a sinner of the surse of sin. No
man can do that for himself or
anyone else. After the sinner is
so convicted and repents of sin
and diligently seeks the new birth
by believing in Jesus and confess
ing Him then through the Grace
of God the myterious new birth"
is effected and the sinner is begot-
ten of the Holy Spirit of God and
grows in Christ. The new creature
has new thoughts, beliefs, atti-
tudes, desires, dispositions, and a
new daily life. The Holy Spirit
will teach and direct the new crea-
ture and the new creature will
have a great desire to learn of
Christ who lie, light, wisdom, pro-
lection, compassion and Love. He
will, like Paul, Silas, and other
soldiers of the Cross, follow the
Lamb of God and be glad of the
blessed priiledge of suffering and
