INCREASED VALUE OF FARMS
Influence Of Road Improvement on Ru-

timore Financier.

The influence of road improvements
on the value of rural property was de-
scribed in a letter recently sent to the
Manufacturers Record by the president
of the Baltimore Commercial bank,
who wrote: "Around my home town in
Virginia property could be bought
three years ago for $50 to $50 an acre.
We put a fine road several miles
through that county, and today you
cannot buy anything for less than 500,
and some is held at $3.50 per acre."

would so continually increase in value
and in demand for leasing on long

the land purchase would soon be paid.

LITTLE PORK

WASHINGTON, D. C., July g. The Rivers and Harbors bill is this year shaved to the bone. It was never thus before. Navigation ap- propriations were always the most promising items of pork" in the Congressional barrel.
 The bill was reported out of the committee May g and is scheduled to be considered by Congress after food control measures are adopted. It carries an appropriation of S26, 100000. Every item this year was estimated by the War Department. Other items may be added on the floor but each must be approved by Secretary Baker. Only projects ot absolute necessity are contemplated.
 The President has indicated to Rep. Small, South Carolina, chair man of the Rivers and Harbor Com mittee, that he will sign the bill as soon as it is passed, to expedite pro- jects that are war measures.
