To Have Higher
Safety Standard
Committee Seeks
To Avoid Repeat Of
Collapse at Reeutto
BY WILLIAM A. MILLEN

Under a $4,000 conStruc-
tion contract. the Inaugural re-
viewing stands are being built
stronger than ever. particularly
near the White House.
More big bolts, holding big
lumber beams together, are be-
ing put into place to assure the
safety Of the stands. The stands
are being built mostly of North
Carolina and Virginia pine, ex-
cept the Presidents stand, which
has a great deal of fir.
A reviewing stand at the Re-
gatta in Potomac Park went
down a few months ago, injur-
ing spectators. But it's a safe
bet the Inaugural Committee
doesn't want any repetition of
that or having diplomats and
other dignitaries dumped un-
tremendously on the ground.
Costs Increase
The bigger metal bolts are
adding to the construction costs.
Inaugural Committee Chairman
Robert v. Fleming told a press
conference yesterday that costs
are higher this year, particular
ly for union carpenters and lum-
ber. Other sources estimated
that carpenters wages are up
about 20 per cent from four
years ago and lumber has risen
about is per cent.
James r. Skinker said his firm
of Skinker g. Garrett, 2607 Con1
necticut avenue NV, put up the
stands for $117,644 in 1928.
They are building the Capitol
Hill stand for $133, 900 now.
The Presidents own reviewing
stand is now going up just in
front of the White House and
accounts for $36,250 as an ad-
ditional work order to the cur
rent contract with Young &,
Crary. Previously, the Inaugural
Committee had contracted with
this firm, builders. of 1912 Sixty
second avenue, Hillside, Md, for
$99, $50 to build stands for the
Inauguration. Odds and ends ac-
count for an extra $4,000, bring
ing the entire contract up to
around $4,000 with this firm.
Demountable stands also are
being erected along Pennsylvania
avenue along the parade route,
but these do not fall within this
contract.
On Schedule
Inaugural officials say the
construction Of the stands is
running right on schedule. They
do not anticipate any difficulty
in having them done on time,
barring extraordinary weather
conditions.
After the January 81 Inau-
gural Parade, which starts about
1880 pm, the stands will be
torn down. Under present plans,
they will be sold to yet un-
designated salvage firm, which
will resell the lumber later.
Arrangements Com mite e
Chairman Carl L. Shipley, mean
time, annoonced pinch will be
given in glass cups at the In
augural Balls instead of in paper
cups. Crumble proof cookies will

The

More Dogs Would
Like This Life
BY JACK JONAS

Monty-short for Mont
gomery, naturally-haS been
in the hotel business some
years now and has seen pay
ing guests come and go, but
occasionally a fellow needs
an honest-to-goodness friend.
Monty is Kurt Smiths Ger
man shepherd dog. Mr.. Smith
brought Monty along when he
came down here from Phila-
delphia to manage the Shera-
ton-Park Hotel.
Monty got to be pretty well
known around the Connecti-
cut avenue neighborhood. He
learned his way around the
hotels big grounds and learn
ed what elevator to take to get
to his masters quarters.
One day not long after he'd
arrived, the Zoo put in a call
to the hotel.
You'd better come and get
Monty" Mr.. Smith was told.
Hes down here at the lion
house, looking for a friend"
Mr.. Smith tried to impress
Monty with the fact that he
ought to seek his friends closer
to home. Shortly after the Zoo
incident, Monty, properly i'm
pressed, became friendly with
a mongrel dog that had taken
up quarters beneath the flower
shop porch.
Nobody knows where the
mongrel came from. She just
took up quarters under the
porch.
A couple Of weeks ago, the
dog population of the hotel
grounds was increased by
three. They, too, inhabit the
cubicle beneath the flower
shop porch with their mother,
the mongrel.
Now Mr.. Smith faces a
dilemma. At least a dozen
people have asked him for one
of the pups, and he doesn't
know who's to get them. All
those who want a pup tell him
the same thing: They've been
wanting a dog that looks like
Monty.

Cab Drivers Income Taxes
Give Collectors Headaches
Federal Men
Ask Districts
Cooperation

Congressional and District
officials are investigating COM
plants that collection Of Fed
eral income taxes from taxicah
here is one of the worst
problems faced by the Internal
Revenue Service.
William N. Mcleod, House
District Committee clerk, said
he and the District Commission
ers are making a careful study
to see what can be done either
by regulation or by legislation.
This action is under way as a
result OF a letter from the
revenue service to the District
C Commissioners requesting CO.
operation. according to Mr.. Nc
Leod.
At the request of the commit
tee clerk, he said, the revenue
service made a study Of the in
come taxes paid by 100 taxi
drivers out of approximately
10000 licensed. This disclosed
that IL had reported no income
from taxi operation and that
eight were operating at loss.
The average operation loss was
$240.86 per taxable year.
No Formula Found
Mr.. Mcleod said he had q
report today from the District
Building to the effect that the
District Commissioners had
found no way as yet to help
tighten the collection of either
Federal or District income taxes
on drivers. but fresh study will
be made of the problem.
Some drivers. 1t was learned.
do not actually operate their
cabs for fares but keep their
licenses active in the event they
want to use them at some future
date. Mr.. Mcleod said he hoped
that some way could be found
by regulation to assist the Fed
eral Government. But he em-
phasized that the House District
Committee would have virtually
no jurisdiction on legislation in
volving Federal income taxes.
That would be the province of
the House Ways and Means
Committee. he said.
But If the study indicated leg
islation for the better collection
of District income taxes, which
he said is Sorely needed, the
District Committee would have
jurisdiction.
Decision Delayed
There had been some hope
that perhaps the Commissioners
might resort to police regulations
which involve requirements as
to the moral character OF Ii
censees but no decision had been
reached. Mr.. Mcleod said. on
this point.
Meanwhile. in his study of the
possible use Of meters on taxis,
Mr.. Mcleod said 20 different
trips by a taxi equipped with a
meter yesterday disclosed that
some trips showed a higher cost
than that charged under the
present zone rate, some we're
lower and some the same as the
zone rate. The total meter
charge on the 20 trips from diff
Iferent destinations, was $17.75 as
compared to the total zone
charges for the same trips OF
I$l4.60.
Mr.. Mcleod is making ready
Ia report for the House District
Committee on his lengthy in
Ivestigation into several problems
facing the taxicab industry but
he said he has made no final
conclusions as yet as to what
his report will recommend

ing Of a fOrSythia bush
across the way from his

It's not a particularly at

It's old, rather scraggIy and
undoubtedly of Independent
habits.
TlHs thing blooms each
December and then, as If
there were nothing at all
to set it aside from its fell
lows, goes along with the
rest of the fOrsythia and

an adjective which leaped
to mind in a discussion of Mr..
Schnapper in this column
some days back.
AS one who was himself
once stout, more than a bit
overweight, portly and more
than probably heavy-set-but
never admittedly rotund- we
can sympathise too late with
Mr.. schnapper's anguish at
the term and wish him a

Name
Why do they call it Hy-

That suburban Maryland
town was named for Chris
topher Clark Hyatt, who
settled in that area in 1858
or 1859.
The town was incorpo-
rated in 1886, and the name
Hyattsville first appears on

Army Engineers. The name
did not appear on an earlier

1t has proven especially use

The new tree-puller is used
