Among those registering their objec- tion to this feature of the omnibus tax bill pending in the Senate were the associations from Chillum Heights, Brightwood, Cathedral Heights-Cleve- land Park and Georgetown. Tax Deciared Unfair. Brightwood declared the move “ill advised, unfair, unreasonable, unsound, discriminating, and in the end will prove disastrous.” Cathedral branded the measure “un- just and unwise.” Chillum said it was “unequitable and unfair distribution of the tax burden” and would “discourage land and home ownership.” Georgetown declared: “Whatever the are necessary, real estate should be exempt from any additional levy.

Those treated were: Mrs. Louise Donsky, 44, of 818 North Capitol street, who came here from Alaska three months ago; Mar- garet Pierce, 22, of 462 Maryland ave- nue southwest; John W.

Parks were crowded until after mid- night with families seeking relief from the heat in stufly rooms and apart- ments. Many slept in the parks until sunrise. Charges of displaying ice cream for sale in Federal Parks were dismissed against five vendors by Judge Edward M. Curran in Police Court today when Park Policeman F. W. Travand testi- fied he had neglected to determine whether there actually was ice cream in the box carried by the men. Four other vendors were convicted of dis- playing balloons and ice cream. Judge Curran took their personal bonds. Two additional vendors arrested by Tra- vand forfeited $5 collateral. Swimming pool managers were en- thusiastic over the hot weather. All of the municipal pools were packed to capacity and the Airport pool at the south end of the Highway Bridge re- ported the largest crowd of the year. The upper Potomac was dotted throughout the night with canoes and other small pleasure craft. HEAT CLAIMS 56 LIVES. Many Die By Drowning—Hundreds of Prostrations. CHICAGO, July 9 (#).—The death toll from the season's longest heat wave mounted today as the sun- baked Northern tier of States looked in vain for relief. At least 56 persons succumbed to the merciless temperatures that ex- tended from the Atlantic Coast to Eastern Washington. There were hundreds of prostrations. Death by drowning claimed scores of persons among the tens of thousands who sought relief at beaches. The stifling heat, hitherto confined to the region east of the Rockies, pushed toward the Pacific Coast. Walla Walla, Wash., sweltered in 96- degree weather yesterday and Yakima, Wash., recorded 94. Lamar, Colo., and Atlantic, Iowa, with readings of 102, were the hottest spots east of the Rockies Little change in temperature was in sight outside of New York and New England where slightly cooler weather was forecast. Meteorologists predicted cloudless skies through tomorrow ex- cept in portions of the Middle At- lantic States and the lower lake region. Fifteen deaths in Michigan were attributed to the heat. Massachu- setts reported 11, Connecticut, 8: Illi- | nois, 7; Minnesota, Nebraska and New | York, 3 each; Rhode Island, 2; | Maine, Indiana, Iowa, West Virginia and Ohio, 1 each. farm belt and in numerous Eastern cities. In New York City, whose normal average for July 8 is 73 degrees, ther- mometers registered maximums of 94 to 98 yesterday. It was the city’s hot- test day this year. Boston reported 99 degrees, the high- est July 8 mark in Weather Burean records there. Elgin, IIl, recorded a seasonal top of 99. Albany, N. Y.; Dodge City, Kans., and Rapid City, S. Dak, reported readings of 98 degrees: Detroit, La- crosse, Wis.; and Dubuque, Iowa; Omaha, Nebr., and Wichita, Kans, 96; Milwaukee, Des Moines, Kansas City, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh, 94. Chicago suffered from excessive hu- midity. The maximum temperature was 89, but lack of a lake breeze left the city limpid. Western suburbs re- ported temperatures ranging from 94 to 98. — SCOUTS HOOVER GUESTS J.

Frank McGinley, 79, an employe of the Water Department for more than 40 years, died yesterday at his resi- dence, 227 Eighth street northeast, after a long illness.

In fact, they are forbidden to do so. The tax bill as reported out by the Senate District Committee contains a provision authorizing the Commis- sioners to obtain temporary advances from the Treasury to meet current bills pending receipt of new tax monies. It first was thought a joint resolu- tion authorizing such advances might be the way out if the battle on the court plan continues to hold up the | tax bill. However, according to cal- | culations made today, if the District | gRoes broke August 1, the District would be left in the same dilemma if the proposed joint resolution struck | the same legislative snag. | Speaking for the Commissioners, | | Commissioner George E. Allen said: “A joint resolution won’t do. We must have our tax bill.” The situation was discussed by Dis- trict officials and Senator McCar- ran, Democrat, of Nevada yester- day afternoon, as Senate Majority Leader Robinson made known em- phatically there is no chance of giving the tax measure immediate right of way over the court issue. Robinson indicated his decision was based on the strong prospect of a fight, not only over the Tydings na- tional anti-trust law amendn.ent, but also over the local revenue features of the tax bill. Earlier in the day Robinson had made known his position to Senator McCarran, who is in chatge of the tax measure. The Nevadan confer- red with the majority leader after Commissioner Allen and Corporation Counsel Seal had called at the Capitol to stress the need for -peedy action. Meanwhile, opposition is believed to be increasing in the Senate to the heavy new land tax of $l per hun- dred. which was placed in the bill by the Senate Committee along with the 2 per cent luxury sales tax. In place of the present uniform property tax rate of $1.50 per hundred on land and improvements, the Senate plan would call for $2.50 per hundred on all land, improved or unimproved, and $1.50 per hundred on improvements. There are strong - indications that even if the land tax goes through Milburn T. ZIRKLE Co. FUNERAL DIRECTORS Ambulance Service 510 C 5t. NE. Llnc. 5537 North Stde of Stanton Park.

C., FRIDAY, the Senate, which is by no means cer- tain, it probably would give way in conference to the House proposal for a uniform rate of $1.70 on land and improvements. The land tax was put in the bill while the committee was seeking substitutes for the House busi- ness privilege tax on gross receipts, but it became known today that the land levy was resorted to only after an income tax motion had been beaten by a tie vote. It was learned that when the com- mittee last week knocked out the business privilege section of the House bill, the first motion offered was o insert the sales tax and a graduated income tax. This motion failed by a tie vote of 5 to 5. Then came the motion which carried, to put in the land tax along with the sales tax. Senator McCarran yesterday car- ried out his announced plan of offer- ing an amendment to exempt meals served in restaurants from the sales tax. As the bill came from committee it failed to exempt food consumed on the premises where prepared and sold. Air Passengers Cool. CHICAGO (#)—While most of the Midwest sweltered in temperatures that exceeded 100 degrees, Richard Craine, air line pilot, said passengers flying over Sterling, Ill, en route to Chicago, called for heat. He said the outside temperature at 9,000 feet was 55 degrees. | Convenient Terms JULY 9, 1931. RITES TOMORROW FOR H. N.
