Merchants Of Washington who cater

Improvement Of the valentine has been
noted for several years, and the stock
on display this year shows a step up

rilous comic" is not yet of the mar

for sale one or two OF those old-styie
connections of celluloid and gush which
are almost as handsome and tasteful
as a vanished crutch.
But the valentines of this year are
for the most part more artistic than
these old horrors. and even the verses
show Improvement
Nearly all the valentines on sale here
Were made by hand In Germany.
Some tendency has been manifest to
make valentines by machinery In this
country. and the importers say this

OFFICIALS SPLIT
UPON PLAN TO TAX
FOR STREET WORK
Borland Amendment to Charge
Property Owners Half Meets
Opposition.

District officials are divided today In
their opinion as to the Justice of the
Borland amendment to the District ap-
preparation bill. providing that half the
cost Of street improvements shall be
assessed against the owners Of abutting
property. The amendment, 1t was
learned today, was prepared by repre-
sentatives OF the District Engineer De-
partment by direction of the subcom-
mittee OF the House Comittee on Appro-
priations. The effect of It will be. ac-
cording to engineer officials. that there
will be fewer requests from property
owners and citizens associations for
street improvements.
Title to all the streets in the District
is In the name Of the United States
Government. According to representa-
tives Of the office Of the Corporation
Counsel there is a question as to the
justice of a law which will compel
property owners to pay for improve
eral Government. On the other hand,
officials Of the Engineer Department
point out that In many cities owners of
abutting property pay half the cost OF
street improvements, and In some mu-
inequalities the entire cost. and that
not be followed here.
Under the present law half the cost OF
sidewalk improvements Is assessed
against abutting property. The Borland
amendment provides that In a street
thirty-two feet wide half the cost of
surfacing and construction shall be as
sessed against the abutting property
on both sides. Where the street is wider
than thirty-two feet one-fourth of the
excess is charged against the property
owner. ~
Engineer Commissioner Judson would
not discuss the amendment, nor would
he make a statement concerning the
slashing of the appropriation bill by
of the parliamentary point
of order to fully Investigate.
Commissioner Rudolph said he had
not had time to consider fully the argu-
ments for and against the amendment.
but that IN view OF the fact that the
title of the streets is in the name Of
the United States he believed the ques-
tion Of the right to tax property owners
for their improvements should be care
fully considered before the legislation is
finally adopted.

GEORGE TOWN PORT
STANDS UNCHANGED
Rumor of Plan to Abolish Office
Meets With Denial From
Treasury Officials.

AS was exclusively announced in The
Times several days ago. there will be
no change in the port Of Georgetown,
as a result Of the reorganization Of the
customs service by Secretary Of the
Treasury MacVeagh.
A statement in, morning paper that
II was proposed to abolish the port OF
Georgetown and have the District of
Columbia a part Of the port of Balti-
more and the Maryland collection dis
trict, was denied today by officials of
the Treasury.
Unless there Is a distinct change in
the plan as at present contemplated, the
port Of Georgetown will remain in its
present status, and the District Of Co.
lumbia viii remain as an individual col
lection district.

ONE-CENT POSTAGE
RATE IS DEMANDED
Flood Of Letters Urging Legis-
Iation Are Received in Con.

Demands for one-cent postage are
flooding Congress. Senators and mem
bers Of the House are getting no end
of requests for such legislation from
all parts of the country.
That the question is going to be one
of the big issues of the next Congress
Is already apparent. Senators favorable
to one-cent postage pointed out today
that the abuse of the frank, as empha-
sized by Postmaster General Hitchcock,
had an important bearing. They said
that IL the franking abuse were abol-
ished. It would go far to make one-cent
postage feasible.
