DIRECTORS.
City's Tax Basis Over Seven
Millions.

Frederick's Board of intermediate
Assessors began its work on Monday
morning, June 18th. The Board met at
electing George Edward Smith, presi-
dent and B. E. Phebus, secretary. The
other member of the board is Shaeffer
L. Rhoades.
Following the organization the board
entered inro its work The per-
mits for buildings, obtained at the office
of the City Register, were secured and
persons who have erected new property
within the past year were sent notices to
appear before the board for the purpose
of having a valuation fixed upon their
property. The work of the board for
few days will consist in ascertaining any
new and unassessed property about the
city. Later the plan is to make personal
trips of inspection about the city in
quest of new property.
The board has established its office
hours from 9 until IL O'Clock, from
until and from until 9 O'Clock. 1t is
felt that these hours will enable every
person who has business with the as
SCISSORS to see them.
There is strong possibility that the
assessors this year will do considerable
revauaton Of property. 1t is claimed
that the. property in the northwest sec
ton of Frederick has increased tremen-
dously in value since the last general as
sessment, and several of the members of
the Board of Aldermen desire, revalua-
ton of the property in that section. The
last Legislature strengthened the author
ty of the Intermediate Assessors, and it
also gave TO the Board of Aldermen,
sitting as the Board of Control and Re-
view, the right to change assessments
upon property without the appeal OF the
person assessed, as was the condition
under the new law.
As far as new property is concerned,
it is the general opinion of those inter-
ested that there were comparatively few
large buildings erected ia Frederick dur
ing the past year, compared to the num-
Der erected for some years before. IT,
however. there is a general assessment
OF property in the northwestern section
of Frederick, it is hard 10 tell how great
the gain may be.
Frederick's taxable basis last year was
$6,6I4, ST2, which was gain of $I2o.SI5
over the assessment of the year before.
There are some persons who believe
that this year the basis NAV go over
$1,000, ooo while there are others who
feel that this mark will not be reached
this year.

Pleads For Unfortunate Children.

Backed by Chief Judge Hammond
Urner of the Circuit Court, delegation
from the Frederick County Branch Of the
MARYLAND Chldien's Aid Society. ap
peared before the Board OF County
Commissioners recently and asked for
an appropriation from the county to carry
on the work of the society. Last year
the County Commissioners appropriated
three hundred dollars towards the work
OF the society. The report OF the society
for the year shows that the sum OF ST.
722.25 was spent in the work in Fred
erick county.
Judge Urner said that the work
that the society is doing is I'M
auestionably good work and that it has
saved a number OF children from becom-
ing criminals and charges upon society
and the State.
The County Commissioners, although
they did not take any action upon the
plea. were very much impressed with
the facts that we're placed before them
by the society. 1t was practically as
sured that the County Commissioners
will make contribution.
Those in the delegation before the
County Commissioners were: A. ID. Will
lard. Eugene Harrison, Chief Judge
Hammond Urner, Mrs. J. 0. Hendrix.
Miss Mary G.. Bently. Mrs. Hammond

Mo Dead Flies Radeemed

The Civic Club Committee in charge
OF the swat the Fly" campaign re-
ports that no children have yet presented
pints of dead flies to be redeemed.
Sundays rain was not only great
boon to the crops but it added numbers
to the fly kingdom in Frederick, and it
may be expected that from now on
housekeepers will be annoyed more than
ever with these pests of summer. Mon
day morning there could be seen along
the streets small swarms of flies which
evidently the rain had encouraged to
come out and nfest mankind 1t will be
easier now for the Riddles to collect
measures OF dead flies for they are
much more abundant thans they were
this time last week.
Here are some fly proverbs that read
like the wise bits in Benjamin Frank
Inns Poor Richards Almauac."
1t is better to screen the cradle and
wear smile than to scoff at the precau
ton and wear mourning.
Flies in the dining room usually pre-
cede nurses in the sick room.
Screens in the windows prevent crepe
on the door.
Flies as we'll as bad water spread ty-
phoid fever.
A Ay in the milk may seem member
of the family in the grave.
A fly has natural enemies. The most
persistent and most effective should be
man.
1t costs less to buy screen door than
to get sick and lay off for a month.
1t is short haul from the garbage can
to the dining table via the fly route.
If at first you do not succeed, swat,
swat, swat again.
