M'LEAN WILL BE MAJOR
Deadlock In Const ArtIIIry Apparently
Ended Mt Inst

1t Is learned here that the long
standing deadlock between the factions
in the Coast Artillery has been dis
solved by the voluntary action of the
line officers in plodging their support
to Captain Charles A. Mclean for elec-
ton as major, Ii is the understanding
that the choice will be made unani-
mously as soon as Adiutant- General w
w. Sale orders a new election
On every occasion when q choice has
been attempted there has been a tic
between Captain Mclean. who com
mands the First Company of Coast
Artillery. of Norfolk. and Captain
Charles Parker Breese. The latter
served as captain of engineers during
the Spanish War but is not at present
connected with any military organiza
ton.
A caucus of the officers of the four
companies was held Tuesday night at
which 1t was decided that all should
support Captain Mclean This fol-
lowed meeting held by the lieuten-
ants on Monday night which had the
same result. 1t is understood that the
deadlock has had very bad effect on
the service, particularly on the First
company. and tho settlement of tho
matter is gratifying to military author

NEW ASSESSMENT
SHOWS LARGE GAIN
Increase of $S4,ooo,ooo in Real
Property Valuation in
Virginia.
EQUALIZATION is NEEDED
States Gains .$2o4,ooo and
Localities More Than Million
in Revenues.

Although one or two assessors books
are still missing from the office of the
Auditor of Public Accounts, their con-
tents are known sufficiently to war
rant the statement that the 1910 reas-
sessment of real estate In Virginia Will
show a gain of approximately $4,000
900 over the figures for 1909,
The total realty valuation for 1909
was s410,635,os4, and a gain of about
SS4,o00,000 would mean that the value
of all real property in the State Is close
to S5o0ooO.0O0. This includes the min
eral assessment in each instance, there
being big increase in this division of
taxable values.
Added Revenue.
To the State the increased assess
ment means an additional tax revenue
of about 100000, while to the several
counties and cities 1t means an in
crease of more than s1,000,O0O The local
tax rate varies very greatly, and of
course the gain in values will likewise
vary great deal. In some instances
there has been very marked growth,
and In others the increase Is slight
