MECHANICS ORDER
TO HAVE Meeting
NEAR CABIN JOHN
Seven Councils Will Be Rep
resented In Celebration
At Concord Church.

The Junior Order of United American
Mechanics today is celebrating its nifty
ninth anniversary at the Concord M.
e. Church and the Concord School, one
mile north of Cabin John Bridge.
This afternoon, beginning at 230
O'Clock, parade will form at Cabin
John Bridge and the seventeen councils
OF the order In this jurisdiction and
four schools In Montgomery county,
Md, will have 500 representatives In
line. The Minute Mems Band win head
the procession.
The speakers at the celebration will
be Congressman John l.. Burnett of
Alabama. Judge J. II. Noyes. of ver-
mont; ID. j Lewis. of Maryland; H. M.
Talbot, Of Rockville; the Rev. Samuel
w. Graffiin, OF Anacostia, and the
Rev. J. E. Fort, the pastor of Concord
Church.
There will be an outdoor gathering
and dinner will be served.
II is peculiarly appropriate. It is
pointed out by members of the order,
to have the anniversary celebration in
Concord Church and Concord School,
for, by a happy coincidence, 1t was in a
school called Concord School, near
Philadelphia, that the Junior Order
of United American Mechanics was
founded.

Years to the recognition Of the sacri-
fees of the men who wore the blue
and who now lie in the cemeteries of
the Government Hospital for the In
sane. They witnessed their work there
taken up for the first time by the
Spanish American War Veterans.
Although expressing keen regret that
the few veterans and their advanced
years had made the elaborate exercises
Of other Memorial days impossible, yet
the old soldiers viewed the spectacle as
of Memorial Day of the years to come
will be fulfilled by other soldier or
ganizations that will succeed them.

FINDS LAND TAX
UNFAIR TO SMALL
REALTY HOLDER
Special Investigator Tells
! House District Committee
of Shortcomings.

That a most inequitable system of
taxation exists in the District and that
Just assessment upon all District prop
erty probably would raise enough money
! to pay the expenses of the municipal
government without aid of Federal ap-
preparations, are two important conclu-
sions reached by Herbert j. Browne. a
special investigator engaged by the
George subcommittee of the House Dis
trict Committee.
the witness stand before the subcom-
rnittee yesterday afternoon, and pre-
scented q mass of data to support his
contention that land values are assessed
at low, figures, while improvements are
made to bear more than their share of
the burden. t4 ~.
Mr.. Browne said the Assessors ofrice
might easily obtain information upon
which to make equitable assessment on
downtown business property, but that
the Assessor had neglected to do 10.
He declared that $50 leases on impor-
business section are filed each year,
but the Assessor had not ayailcd him
self of the information which would be
contained in these leases.
Land Underassessed.
Property in the business district, he
continued, frequently sells for prices
double, or even quadruple, the assess
ment figures. The business area of
Washington, Mr.. Browne said, including
both sides Of r street, Pennsylvania
avenue, Fifteenth street. H street and
sessed at $4,000 ,0OO" This property should
be assessed at 800, 900, ,0o0" said Mr..
Browne, emphatically.
The expert investigator put in the
the difference in the assessed valuation
and the selling value Of District prop
One Of Mr.. Brownies most startling
charges was as follows:
"The assessors for the past twenty
years have been confronted with the
proposition that II they should assess
property in the District Of Columbia at
q just rate under the law, they would
bring the attention Of Congress to the
fact that at fair rate Of taxation more
than enough money to pay all the ex-
penses Of the District Government
would be forthcoming"
Attack Organic Act.
If Mr.. Brownies conclusions are ac-
cepted by the House District Com
mittee, they wifi prove a weapon in
the hands of those who have been
planning an attack upon the organic
act and the half and-ha principle.
The expert told the subcommittee
headed by Congressman George, the
single tax advocate, that under the
present taxation system small homes
and improvements bear more than
their proportion of the taxes. while
the Assessors Office does not keep
pace with the increase in value Of
land. . ....
.sThere are $4,000 small homes in
Washington the assessed valuation OF
which has been increased $3.50 per
house" said Mr.. Browne. Some Of
this property actually has been sold
foT less than the assessed value"
Mr.. Brownies report will be included
in the recommendations which will be
made to the House District Commit
tee by the George subcommittee.
