''$6,2l9,16O TAXES
I FROM REAL ESTATE
Personal Levy in District
Amounts to $2,675,151,
Assessors Report Shows.
WAR VALUE" IGNORED

Real estate taxes in the District for
the fiscal year ended June 80 last
amounted to $s,21s.160.s7, according
to the annual report of Assessor VIII
liam p. Richards, submitted to the
Commissioners today.
The total personal tax levy for the
last fiscal year amounted to $2,675,-
11sI.o4, making total % taxsa from
the two sources of $s.ss4,s11.4I.
An outstanding feature OF the re-
port ,is the Aannoun6ement that In
making the new biennial assessment
on real estate for the years 1920 and
1921 the assessors did not apprafse
property at the abnormal prices Gre
ated by the war, but followed what
they believed would be q fair value
under ordinary conditions. The as
sessments for the next two years
have been completed and are now
being entered upon the 1edgers.
Assessment Open to Appeal.
The assessor calls attention to the
fact that the field work was finished
and open for. Inspection In January
last and was subject to appeal until
the first Monday of last June. In ex-
planning how the new assessments
were arrived at. the report states:
1T is obvious that to give full
weight to high prices in building ma
terial and labor would raise the as
sessment value of nearly every home
in the District, both large and small,
and put price on it far above what
could be obtained The board of as
SCISSORS had to weigh carefully this
condition in making their new assess
ment, as the first consideration is the
equalization of taxation following the
requirement of law that the assess
ment shall be not less than two-thirds
of the true value.
1.-THE assessors were confronted with
the choice of two propositions, either
to appraise the dwellings at the alb
normal prices created by the war, or
at what they considered wanld<,be a
fair value under normal conditions.
They adopted the latter course
The selling value of property previous
to the war, together with a certain al

Workers at Bethlehem and

MAHONING VALLEY MEN
TO DISCUSS RETURNING
Conflicting Claims by Both Sides
in Struggle Are Made
Today. ...

Three important developments were
pending today in the steel strike, any
one of which may have a vital bear
ing on the outcome of the great In
dustrial struggle.
In Pittsburgh the national steel
workers committee was to meet late
today and a definite decision was ex-
pected in regard to calling out the
10000 workers in the Bethlehem Steel
plants Monday. Although the COM
pany officials have SO far shown NO
inclination to compromise. local union
omcials at Allentown expressed opti-
mism over the prospect Of strike be-
ing averted.
Meetings at Youngstown.
In Youngstown. where the strikers
nave succeeded in completely tying up
the steel industry in the lahoning VAL
ley district, meetings were announced
OF unskilled and semi-skilled workers to
discuss the question of returning to
work Some mystery enveloped these
meetings. as both the strike leaders and
the mill managers professed to know
nothing Of their origin.
The third development was promised
at Cleveland. where the executive COM
mittees Of the great lakes shipping
union. claiming to represent $4,000 sea-
men and men Of allied trades, met
to decide whether their organiza-
tions would declare a sympathetic
strike. Such a strike already has been
authorized by the interna tionai unions.
In the meantime the usual confiie ting
claims were made by the opposing gem
erals in the pivotal backgrounds Of
Pittsburgh and Chicago, but all def
mite news indicated no important
change in cosdtiions.

The abandonment of the East Po-

be due to the fact that 1t would cost
great deal of money to put the
buildings there in proper shape for
occupancy during the winter. and also
because Of the desire of Col Ridley,
the engineer officer in charge Of pub
lie buildings and grounds. to resume
the work of improving the grounds
for the use of the public. which work
necessarily was interrupted by their
construction and occupancy.
1t is expected that the work of re-
moving the buildings and salvaging
the material will be fully completed
during the next few months. and that
the work of preparing the reclaimed
area for purely recreational purposes,
started at the opening of the spring
season. Good progress has been made
in the construction of q public golf
course just east of the cantonment, and
it probably will be opened to the pub
lie early next year.
