Contractors Support
Equal Use-Tox Proposal
Valuable Records Lost

A proposal to extend the
District use tax on construc-
ton equipment to out-of town
contractors working in the
city has received strong sup
port by spokesmen for local
contractor and labor groups.
An extension of the 2 per
cent use tax is one of about
so revisions of the city'S tax
laws which will be recon-
mended to Congress by the
Commissioners. District Off
cialS now are drafting the rec
concentrations for an overhaul
of the tax structure.
Yesterday, the Commissioners
heard an Endorsement of a use
tax on construction equipment
for out-of-town firms by rep
reSentativeS of the local con-
struction industry.
Pay Equality, Too
At the same time, these
Spokesmen urged the Commits
sionerS to back their proposal,
announced earlier, that nom
union employers be required to
raise wages to match the cost
of union fringe benefits.
This recommendation also
would require legislation.
Both the fringe benefit pro-
poSal and the use tax revision
are being supported by the local
groups as means to eliminate
what they feel is an unfair
competitive edge in contract
bidding enjoyed by employers
of non-union workers.
According to city officials,
the use tax, which would be
levied on the deprecated value
of construction equipment, is
on the books in about two

thirds of the States. The Dis
trict would not assess equip
ment already taxed in one of
these States.
Maryland is one of the
States which have adopted this
levy.
The Commissioners reported
ly reached no decision at yes
terday'S closed meeting on the
request for legislation covering
the fringe benefit proposal.
LOw-Bid Cited
AS a general rule, the larger
contractors in Washington hire
union workers. Last month. a
Savannah, (GaO firm, the Dia-
mond Construction Co., won the
the contract for the substruc-
ture of the new Fourteenth
street bridge. The Diamond
company'S low bid of $2,284,131
was only about $4,000 under
the next lowest offer by a firm
which hires union workers.
Spokesman for the local con-
Struction industry contend thal
the difference between the two
bids was due largely to the
fringe benefits which the unior
firm must pay. One of the
spokesman attending yester-
days meeting, j. c. Turner
president of the Central Labor
Council, said that the fringe
benefit costs run between II
and 20 cents an hour.
Also represented at yester.
days session were the Washing.
ton Building Trades Council
the Construction Contractors
Council and the Master Build
ers Association.

experience received elsewhere. -
The committee was named
after the county's teachers in a
poll overwhelmingly opposed a
school board plan for superior
service awards" which would
be made on an annual basis.
Under this plan, raises would
become permanent after a
teacher had received the an
nual grants for three years in
succession.
The superior service awards"
plan was proposed at the con-
clusion of a School Board study
which began last spring. The
teachers appointed their own
study committee early this
month.
The chairman Of the educa-
tors committee was Levin B.
Hanigan, supervisor for ele-
mentary education. Other COM
mittee members were Harold
Wilson. principal of Wakefield
High School; c. C. Cone, prin-
cipal of Jefferson Junior High
School, and Fred Carpenter,
supervisor of secondary Eng
liSh.
The committee said opposi-
ton to a regular merit-pay plan
developed because it was con-
Sidered detrimental to our ef-
forts as leaders and damaging
to the morale of teachers in
general"
They indicated merit pay for
some teachers would make
other teachers jealous and
would make the administrative
duties of principals and super
visors more difficult because of
possible dissension.
Presentation January FL
The seyen-point program for
recognizing superior teaching
performance drafted by the
four-man committee is ex-
pected to be presented to the
School Board at its January
81 meeting.
The Arlington School Board
has been trying for some time
to develop a method of reward
ing superior teachers beyond
the salaries provided in the
regular pay scales. Which are
based primarily on length of
service.
Other school boards in this
area have been studying the
same problem. Montgomery
County is experimenting with a
career recognition program"
this year which makes 1t pos
Sible for selected teachers to
earn more money.
District School Board mem
berS recently expressed an in
terest in the merit pay princi-
pie, but they decided earlier
this month not to include a
provision for it in the proposed
$50 million salary increases for
school personnel here.

Paid Fireman Weighed

Rockville Mayor Alexander
Greene said the fire may raise
| the issue Of whether there
should be a paid fireman on
duty at the department.
The Mayor said he is sure the
council "is ready at any time"
to furnish the cost of a paid
fireman. He said the city could
not do it without the approval
of the volunteer company.
Mr.. Green said the depart
ment has always furnished
prompt and adequate service
and he has never received a
complaint.
He said there comes a point,
however, when the population
density requires the use Of paid
firemen.
Some volunteer companies in
the county have paid flremen
on duty at the firehouses.

president of the Rockville de-

that a committee is looking for
a site on which to build a sec

south of Rockville in the
vicinity of the Congressional
Plaza shopping center.
If and when a second fire.
house is built, Mr.. Gates said,
the department would probably
hire a few paid firemen and
would consider requesting fire
tax revenue in the Rockville

Washington'S waterfront res
taurateurs and seafood mer-
chants are asking the President,
Congress and the Governors of
Virginia and Maryland to keep
Engineer Commissioner A. c..
yelling and his bulldozer away
from their door.
The District has given the
restaurants and sea food places
in the Municipal Fish Market
on Maine avenue, at the foot
of Twelfth street S.W., until
Friday to move. Saturday, the
wreckers are scheduled to begin
tearing down the 46-year-old
market to make way for a tenn
porary road required by work
on the new Washington Chan
mel crossing.
Representatives Of 13 firms
still doing business in the
market met yesterday at the
Cy Ellis restaurant and "re-
affirmed" their decision to stay
put. They also decided to:
l. Ask the House and Senate
District committees for a hear
ing on their plight.
2. Voted to write the Presi-
dent and the Governors of
Maryland and Virginia, asking
that they intervene and stop
the scheduled demolition of the
waterfront market.
EvictiOns Geared Up
Just a few minutes before
the meeting started on the
waterfront, District Commits
sioners announced they had di-
rected Corporation Counse
Chester H. Gray to begin evic-
ton proceedings Saturday and
get the markets tenants out
with all possible speed"
Aides assigned to begin pro-
ceedingS said they could not
tell until they studied earlier
legal notices sent to the
markets tenants, how long it
would take to have them
moved out.
The restaurants and sea food
shops have received two re-
prieves. They were first ordered
out by July 13. This was
changed to November l, ana
Evening star., 1959-12-30

finally the deadline was set as
January /.
Time Is a Question
The question now is whether
there will be time for a
congressional hearing. Leroy
Pumphrey, attorney for the
market tenants, thinks so.
"They District officials are
not going to do anything as
intemperate as start to tear
down this building over your
heads" he reassured those
attending yesterdays meeting.
The chief complaints of the
fish market people are:
That the District is putting
them out of business merely to
build a temporary road.
That the District Redevelop-
ment Land Agency did not
make a sincere effort" as
directed by Congress, to re-
locate the restaurants and sea
food wholesale stores in South
west Washington.
Little Hope
Nearly all of market tenants
said they had little hope of
leasing space or land on the
waterfront after it is cleared
and redeveloped.
1T will cost too much" said
George A. Carroll, d wholesale
seafood merchant. They (the
slum clearance agency paid
me $3.50 a square foot for
property I owned elsewhere in
southwest and they will want
ST to So a foot for the water
front"
Some of the businessmen talk
about moving to the old port
section of Alexandria. Mem
bers of the Maine avenue asso-
citation are scheduled to meet
with Alexandria city officials at
3 pm. tomorrow in city council
chambers. to talk about specific
details of relocating restaurants
and Seafood houses.
Despite the assurances of
their attorney, the Fish Market
tenants are half expecting the
wreckers to show up Saturday
morning, led by Commissioner
yelling.

The way In which the mus
cles must be used In order
to sit or stand or walk COR

means that you must hold

spine straight, tuck your hips
under and hold your head up.
Keep this In mind always.
Two Ways
You must bend over many
times during your busy day.
When you do so make 1t one
OF two ways. One-do not
bend your knees; keep them
stiff but bend from the waist.
Two-bend both knees all
the way down but keep your
back straight. Do NOT bend
from the waist. The first way
Is q good waist simmer. The
second will firm the legs.
