HOME TAX EXEMPTION.

/ In an effort to solve the housing
problem, privilege has been granted
through the Maryland legislature for
Hagerstown and Washington county
| to allow county and municipal tax
exemptions for a period of five years
on new home building operations.
Washington county is in a rich agri-
cultural region and is one of the
most prosperous counties in Mary
land. Hagerstown, the county Seat.
Is a thriving city, making progress
along Industrial lines.
The act of the Maryland legisla-
ture provides for a five-year tax ex-
emption on county and municipal
taxes on all housing facilities and
dwellings not to exceed in cost $4,000
for one family, buildings and apart
ments il for more than one family to
be exempted at the rate of $1,000 for
each family apartment or suite of
rooms. No exemption of the land
upon which such dwellings are erected
will be allowed, however. Charles J..
Ogle, secretary of the Maryland Tax
Reform Association, writing on the
Washington County plan for tax ex-
emption. states that the passing of this
act means that builders of $1,000 homes
in Hagerstown are in effect to be Of
fered a bonus of something over 800
la year for five years. or total of
some five or six hundred dollars. pro-
vided, of course, that the county and
local authorities avail themselves of
the powers conferred upon them by the
legislature. For Observation-Disclosures the
same offer would be made for each
70 orfY M hot h,,i1
with IL apartments assessed at $780,
900 would receive an abatement of
something like 1920 year, or total
allowance of $4,000 for the five-year
period. In the county the allowance
would be about $50 on a $4,000 home
and a 12-family apartment building
would receive a total abatement Of
about $4,000.
Under the act" he states, "the town
authorities have the power to deter
mine what classes of property shall be
taxed for local purposes. If their rate
is limited by the towns charter. the
act gives them the power to raise the
rate sufficiently to cover any loss Of
revenue in case they decide to ex-
empt certain classes of property. A
number of towns have taken advan-
tage of these provisions by either
wholly or partly exempting all build
ings and personal property and rails
ing their revenues from its values
alone.
such a plan directly encourages
building and business activity gener-
ally by promising Immunity from tax
alton for all time. Locations become
more desirable under these conditions.
so that they easily bear the increased
taxes.
"Old tax methods actually disccur-
age building and make it easier for
owners TO keep their lots idle than to
develop them.
The Washington County plan is
good as far as it goes. and its re-
suits will be watched with interest by
the rest of the state"

POPULATION FIGURES.
(Florida Times-Union.)


OF fifty-eight cities and towns
whose population have thus far been
reported as gaining more than one
hundred per cent during the last ten
years two are in Florida. This state
which is one Of forty Eight has one in
twenty mine of the cities reporting
gains OF more than one hundred per
cent. Florida has only one per cent
of the population of the country and
yet shows between three and four per
cent of the cities making this great
gain. In this list Miami comes third
but is really first among the cities
standing on their own feet for the
first two were suburbs of Detroit and
merely represented that citys over
flow Of population. Detroit covers an
area only about three times as great
as that of Jacksonville and as a re-
suit the great growth there has been
suburban. Detroit has been looking
for report showing more than $780,
900 people in the city but this enor-
nous growth outside of the limits
about 100000 will probably show the
greater part of that city's increase in
population. It is probable that the
population within the limits of the
city will not be very much more than
half million.
Among the larger cities Of Florida
Key West has not yet been reported
but will drop to fifth place being
passed by Miami. Five cities of Flor
ida already reported show populations
above ten. thousand and two others
besides Key West may be added to
the list. In the order OF population
they come: Jacksonville, 91,543; Tam
pa, 51,252; Pensacola, 31,035; Miami,
29,549, and st. Petersburg, 1927. Key
West will come in ahead of st. Peters,
burg, but it is not at all probable that
it will come in ahead of Miami. IT
the rate of gain made during the last
five years is continued during the
next five and that made during the
last ten years is continued during the
next ten population of the five larg-
est cities of Florida will be as follows
in 1925 and 1890:
City Pop. 1925. Pop. 1890
Miami ........... 5000 159, 194
Jacksonville .....125,237 145,412
Tampa . 54,543 69,524
ST. Petersburg -. 2S,206 Alt
Pensacola .. 41,482 41,910
These figures represent merely a
calculation based on the percentage
of growth reported from the last five
and ten years they do not represent the
opinion of the Times Union A num-
Der of other things are to be consid-
cred in making an estimate. A part
of Jacksonville's increase has been
made by taking in territory while the
other cities so far as we know have
made their growth, without the an
nexation of new territory. AS a city
increases in size it's rate of gain de-
creases. Tampa will probably extend !
her limits in the next five years car
rying her population to $4,000 or |
more Miami will not continue her |
rate of gain though there is every |
reason to believe that her actual gain |
will be more than twice as great dur
ing the next decade as during the |
last. There is little room to doubt |
that Miami will be the second city of /
Florida in 1880 and the first by 1910.
1t is also probable that st. Petersburg |
win come close to Pensacola in the
next ten years.

Press Comment

Just In Fun.
Some of the papers of the state are
having their fun with Miami over a
statement credited to gentleman
who is quoted in the Augusta, Geor-
gia, Chronicle as saying that Miami's
great growth in the past ten years
may be attributed to the fact, as he
alleged, that whiskey could be pur-
chased in this city for five dollars the
bottle. Perfectly good whiskey," he
said, "can be purchased openly in
Miami, and nobody thinks of charging
more than five dollars a quart for it,
We mentioned him as a gentlemen,
but there are some doubts in our
mind as to whether the name will
stick when we consider the absurdity
of his statement. 1t almost qualities
him to that short and very effective
word. Liquor is not sold in Miami,
openly, and the last quotations We're

would not, purchased two fingers Of
