DISTRICT TAX ASSESSOR
CRITICISED IN HOUSE
Page Declares Assessments on Per
sonal Property Are Made by
Guesswork.

Severe criticism Of the District tax
assessor was made on me floor of -he
House late today by Representative
Page of North Carolina, chairman Of
the subcommittee in charge of the Dis
trict appropriation bill. Mr.. Page,
speaking in the time allotted for the
sundry civil debate, charged that un-
businesslike methods are being used by
the tax assessor, and that assessments
for personal taxes are made by guess
work He used as an example notice
he had received from the board Of as
SCISSORS and he repeated conversation
he had with the assessor.
II learned that my personal tax is
estimated by an official of the Dis
trict who simply walked by my house
and guessed what Is in il"
How would that official estimate the
amount of personal property in an
apartment house?" asked Mr.. Mondell
of Wyoming.
by looking at the letter boxes"
suggested Mr.. Page.
He continued, saying that the as
SCISSOR of taxes is not using business
like methods in reaching the taxpay-
ers of the District with notices. etc.
"As I told him before, man with
no more initiative and ability than
that has no business to hold Office. If
he had the proper initiative he would
reach people in the proper way"

Traditions of Sandwich.

From the London Chronicle.
Sandwich is the hub of the universe
of golf In times madieval it was one
of England's five gates, through which
passed heroes and saints, priests and
kings. Here it was that King Arthur
set out to play the Emperor of Rome
with Excalibur. and here on his return
Guinevere welcomed him. st. Paul,
says tradition, landed at Sandwich. but
it is history that marks it as the
and Scots were here beaten back by
the army of the eastern Julian, and
Theodosius landed to repel the Saxons.
Beckett escaped from England via
Sandwich to France. here Richard
landed after his Austrian imprison-
ment and John, King of France. came
as a prisoner of the Black Prince.

Burning Byron's Autobiography.
rom the London Chronicle

from the Iondon Chronicle.
May II. 1924. witnessed a famous
literary bonnre-the solemn burning
of Byron's autobiography. The man.
uscript had been given by the poet
to Thomas Moore on the sole condition
that it should not be published until
after his death. Moore sold the MS
to John Murray for 1000 guineas. but
after Byron's death in the spring of
1924 he and others began to doubt the
propriety of printing 1t. Lord John
Russell and Washington Irving, to
whom it was submitted. declared 1t too
gross and Hbelous for publication: and
Murray, generously foregoing his claim
to the money advanced to Moore, called
a council of Byron's friends. which met
in the publishers drawing-room at
AIbemarle street on the evening of
May II. and committed the manu-
script to the flames.

by moderate further setback.

The Waterloo cup. in which grey
hounds contend for 1.-The blue riband Of
the LEASH" can now boast of respecta-
BILE antiquity. It was instituted in 1895
by a Mr.. Lynn and resulted in a win
for his nomination. the winners owner
being the Lord Molyneux of that day.
The cup" then consisted of an eight
dog stake of two sovereigns each, and
a trophy" was added in the shape of
a silver snuffbox. But the dog derby
did not attain it's present Importance
until 1857. when the number of SUBJ
scribers had SO greatly increased that
plate became consolation prizes. His
toric associations already cling to this
meeting. and Master McGrath, a famous
Irish winner of the cup. is the only
dog to whom public monument has
been erected.
