B—4 DEPUTY CORONERS PAY 15 DEBATED McCarl Says They Can Only Get $5 a Day When Chief ot Wide difference of opinion over how | the two District of Columbia deputy coroncrs, Dr. A. M. MacDoneld and Dr. J. D. Rogers, shall be paid has arisen, with the District disbursing officer, Maj. J. R. Lusby, preparing to prote.r a rul- ing by Controller General McCarl in the matter and ask for a recensider- ation. g The District government had been paying the two deputies on an annual salary basis under appropriations made by Congress. But McCarl ruled that this is all wrong—that the deputies must be pald instead under an old law of 1924 at the rate of $5 a day when the coroner himself is absent. Wants Coroner’s Statement. Dr. MacDonald has been paid at the Tate of $1,600 a vear end Dr. Rogers at the rate of $2.000 a under the classification act and 1931 appropria- tions McCarl held that this payment would not_be distur] 1 riod prior to July 1, 19: or periods th allowed for such payments only on a per diem basis under the terms of the act of December 13, 1924. In support of such payments of compensation to the deputy cororers on a per diem basis there will be Ye- quired with the accounts,” McCarl held, A Clever Idea . .. a wardrobe in itself! “a statement by the coroner that he was not on duty on all days for which compensetion is paid to either of the deputies.” in support of the annual basis of pay- ment, Maj. Lusby quoted the butige. for the fiscal year, 1931, showing that two new half-time positions with the title of deputy coroner were recommended in a total estimate for the coroner's office, and that there was included .a fund in the District appropriation act to pay such salaries. In his decision, McCarl sald: “Neither the recommendation in the budget on the basis of which the annual appro- on for personal service was pro=- vided, nor the discussion before a com- mittee of Congress, had the effect of repeaiing or rendering inoperative the | p'ain terms of the prior statute of 1924 which 1is still in force. There was no authorily at any time on and after De- | cember "13, 1924, for the Personnel | Classification Board to have allocated | the positions of deputy coroner to & |grade under the terms of the classifi- cation act, nor for payment of com=- toensation on an annual basis for the services of deputy coroners.” | WILL OPEN GRADUATION | Rev. 2.
