It is estimated that $£293.000 will cover the cost of setting the land under these pro- Ceedings. Owners Ready to Sell. The owners are ready and willing to sell at the price negotiated f Two pleces of land at a cost of £193 610. In addition to these there 54 pracels of land, estimated to cost $135,160.87 for which no offers pending, and for which nezotiations will have to ha started Tt is estimated that it will require ahout a yvear to clean up this land purchasing, but in the meantime the road work and improvement can pro. ceed up to the points where it is blocked by these pleces of private lands. The subgrade of the proposed roadway, a low level roadway near the creek, has been completed to Mas- sachusetts avenue, at the point where it is proposed to dig a tunnel to per mit traflic to go under this roadway There is in the estimates this year an ftem of $30,000 for completing the roadway to this point. It will be a 0-foot Toadway, capable of handling lieavy trafic from the northwest sec. n adjoining the park to the down town section The parkway as a whole contalns acres, of which 147.22 acres, 92,12 per cent, already have been pur chased and titles transferred to the United States, Initial Work Being Done.

LARGER ANNUITIES NEED IS CHARGED TO DOLLAR SHRINKAGE Continued from First ge.) increased so markedly, and as it has also remained so much higher since 1920, when the law became effective, it is apparent that the salary of the em- nlove was based on a_100-cent dollar, while his annuity is based on a 60- cent dollar, or on a dollar having even less value than 60 cents.” Following out thie thought, Mr, Biller showed that the sverage an. nuity of an employe n 1921, namely $568.44. becomes only §318.33 when al- lowance is made for the shrinkage in the purchasing power of the dollar since 1913. Explains Large Fund. AMr. Blller told the committea one reason why there is so amount in the retirement fund, rep- resented by the 214 per cent of salary contributed by the employes, is be- cause fewer workers have retired than was expected and the annuitants havs died faster after retirement than had been expected. “I was also one of those who feared the annuity roll would be bure With retirements for disabili i Biller continued. “As a matter of fact, the trend is unmistakably in the other direction.” The witness declared that one-third of those retired for disability are al- ready dead. He presented a table showing that a total of 15.170 em- ployes have been retired both for age and disability sinee the law became effective in 1920, and that 3,481 of that number have dled, leaving 11,689 now on the annuity roll. Another table showed the average age of sl those on the annuity roll last year was 69.9 years. Employes Pay Money. Tn the beginning of his testimony Mr. Biller said he wanted to correct the impression which some have that the Government is paying the an- nuitles, explaining that they are com- ing solely out of the employes' con- tribution. The money in the retire- ment fund, he said, belongs to the in- dividual employes, and the Govern- ment merely borrows that money when it pays annuities to those who lave retired. Chairman Lehlbach plained the system by further ex suying that it the construction of | General of the United States. | are | or | large an | 1 GRANT POINTS WAY .

Some effort has been made to have uniform ients by providing at small expense tents al- ready erected and floored, hut inany of the tourists use their own equipment. There is no specific direction in previous laws that the camp be located at this point. the first stamp of permanency came in the last appropriation bill when the money was provided for a perma- nent field house, with the specification that it be erected on the site of the present camp. When this is erected, it is pointed out, the tourist camp will become & permanent fixture in its present location, and will crowd out some of the recreation facilitles pro- posed for this site. Although efforts have been made on previous oceasions to have the camp moved to a place on the other side of the Highway Bridge in Virginia, these have failed, it was pointed out, through opposition from various sources. The proposed new field house is to be a one-story structure. conforming in style and outside appearance gen- erally to the field house located on the golf links in East Potomac Park.

The money in a bank belongs to the individual de- positors, he said, but is used by the bank until the depositors call for it. At present there fs a large balance in the fund, but Chairman Lehlbach asked Mr. Biller if he had any com- putations to show when annuities and refunds going out of the fund would overtake the contributions being put in by the employes. Committee Thanked. Mr. Biller replied that would de- pend on the extent to which Congress increases the amount of annuities by new legislation. The committee ex- pects to obtain data as to the cost of the various plans for increasing the annuities before reporting out the new legislation. Before the hearing closed Robert H. Alcorn, chairman of the joint confer- ence of civil seryice employes on re- tirement, thanked Chairman Lehlbach and the members of the Senate and House committees for the careful con- sideration they gave the various or- ganizations appearing at the hearing: Taj. | | bill Lefore the It just grew there, and | THE SUNDAY STAR, WWASHINuIU, JANUARY 17 TOURIST s The question now arises whether Arts Commis: opinion that the tourist ¢ TAX BILL REPORT VOTED AS CLOTURE ON COURT LOOMS t Page.) p might (Continued from biil bilt will to the Senate be taken ifter us upon the port of the on Tuesday. up for de soun th | possible, depending somewhat what deterinination s made Wo'ld Court matter The Demucrat thetr plan ado the public debt, § the debt entirely from the sinkin fund provided by law, but requiring thut the coxt of the sinking fund be cut by applylng to It the annual re. ceipts from forelzn governmenis on aceount of war debt payin But this plan was voted down by the Re. publican members of the committee. e Democrats claimed that the deht could be retired under their plan 27 vears.
