HOUSE COMMITTEE
FAvORABLY REPORTS
REAL VALUE BILL
Measure Requiring Actual
Consideration to Be Stated
In Deeds Likely to Pass.

Three balls affecting taxation and
real estate In the District were unani-
mously reported to the House today by
the District Committee. The most far
reaching OF the lot Is that which re-
quires that the real consideration shall
be stated in deeds. mortgages and deeds
of trust to property sold and convey
ed In the District
Congressman Henry George, chairman
OF the subcommittee, which handled
this particular bill, said this afternoon
that there was no legitimate reason
why deeds should not contain q state
ment of the exact money paid for prop
erty, and that the only opponents Of
the bill are some real estate men in
Washington. AS the bill comes to the
House with the unanimous approval Of
the full District Committee 1t probably
will pass.
Up Next Monday.
Mr.. George said that the bill prob
ably will be called up next Monday.
Another bill reported provides that
Congress must approve the site and the
purchase price of any real estate ac-
quired by the District government to
which purchase the United States Gov
eminent contributes. This bill. II 1t
becomes a law, will take from the Com
missioners the right to make purchases
or to condemn property for the Joint
use of the District and Federal Gov
eminent until Congress shows its APP
proval by legislation.
A third bill reported by the committee
provides that In future when real estate
Is acquired for use in whole or in part
by the municipal government, the deed
shall be made jointly TO the District
and the United States, providing the
Federal Government contributes any
thing toward the purchase.
George Explains.
Congressman George, speaking of the
bill to require statement OF real con-
sideration in deeds for property bought
and sold in the District, said:
This bill be of great aid to the Tax
Assessor of the District, and II means
that property will be assessed at some
thing like its real value. / see no
reason why either the buyer or seller
of piece of property should object to
transaction. This Information will pe
Immediately available by the Tax AS
SCISSOR. and will enable him to make
just and prompt assessment
The bill provides a penalty for any
person who shall make false state
ment regarding the consideration that
changed hands in the sale of any prop
erty. And II Is further provided that
any recording OFFICER who permits the
from office and fined in addition 500.
To make the law more sweeping Sec
ton provides that no consideration
greater than that made In the recorded
document shall be collectble in any
court Of law.
