BIG FLOWER HOME
FORD. C.nEDGED
Members of Congress Who
Visit aMum" ShoWto Merk
for Its Erection.

Erection of a big show greenhouse
on the Department of Agriculture
grounds. where flower shows would
be held at various seasons, was
promised by members Of Congress and
other influential men and women who
visited the nineteenth annual mum"
show in the department greenhouses,
14th and B streets, yesterday and
today.
The effort to get an appropriation
for big display conservatory for
exhibitions of various blooms in sea-
observation-disclosures in the fall;
poincettias, in the Christmas season;
bulbs. in the spring, and ,others-was
started by Representative Samuel
Winslow of Massachusetts, after see
ing the show last year, when he
named several seedlings. More than
dozen senators and House members
who attended the show yesterday
pledged support Men and women of
national prominence from eight states
also volunteered to urge upon their
representatives in Congress that such
a Show house should be built.
A bill authorizing the appropria :
tion for erecting a big conservatory
will be introduced as soon as Congress
assemblies. .-..
There were 1910 persons who
passed through the small greenhouse
where the show has been arranged
yesterday. and more than 1900 more
had seen the blooms before noon to-
day. Considerable complaint was
heard because the house was so small
the more than 1000 plants having to
be crowded in and the one-way walks
so narrow that only one person could
pass along at time.
The show will be open every day
this week from 9 am. until pm

SCHOOLS MAY Use
PICTURE THEATERS
Board Also to Consider idea
of Citizens Council at
Meeting Wednesday.

ACCESSIBILITY of using motion picture
theaters to relieve overcrowded condi-
tons in the schools; organization of a
citizens council to cooperate. with
school officials on matters pertaining
to educational affairs, and considera-
ton of new plans for the new school
at 18th and Monroe streets will be
taken up by the board of education in
special session Wednesday afternoon
Numerous routine matters also will-be
acted on by the board.
The plan for utilizing the moving
picture theaters and the one for Or
ganizing an auxiliary board of educa-
ton composed of representatives of
civic associations were originated by
Dr. Abram Simon, president of the
school governing body. These schemes
will be presented to the board mem
bers by DR.. Simon for their approval
or disapproval Wednesday.
1t is believed that the board will
adopt the plan for organization OF the
citizens council. as it not only is IA
vored by some of the civic organiza-
tons. but by Supt. Frank w. Rallou.
Use OF the picture playhouses, how
ever, is a question that will be con-
sidered seriously by board members
and school authorities before any step
is taken TO ask Congress for funds to
rent them. Many complex problems
will have to be solved before any
definite action is taken TO use them
The board undoubtedly win approve

HENDR|CK STUDIES
TAX SALES IN D. C..
Commissioner to Decide
Whether Present Method
Should Be Revised.

Commissioner J. Thi]man Hendrick
announced today that he is studying
the present method OF selling real es-
to determine. whether the system
should be revised.
Commissioner Hendrick said he be-
lieves that under the present system
the buyers who come to the tax sale
annually take the cream" of the list
the District until the owners see fit
to pay up their back taxes.
The Commissioner has requested
Corporation Counsel Stephens to in
quire into the laws Of other cities.
How Present Law Works.
Under the present law a man who
buys a piece Of property at the tax
sale in March pays the amount due
for the preceding year and is given
a tax certificate. If the owner does
not redeem the property within two
years from the date Of sale the tax pur-
chaser is entitled to a deed from the
District. The law fixes at IL per
cent the rate of interest to be charged
by, tax sale purchasers when the
owner desires to redeem his property.
After the tax sale the District
charges per cent per annum on
the taxes due on the property not
sold to individuals at the tax sale.
0ne suggestion which has been made
is that the District take tax ceFtif :
cate on all property on which the tax
bill of the preceding year has not been
paid by March. ~gt ..--.-r
Records Of Property Sales.
Records of the tax collectors Office
Sbou- that Tho apnoupf of DrODerty sold
to outsiders for taxes has taken a big
drop in the past two years.
In 1918 6,045 parcels were bought
by outsiders for taxes amounting to
500, 1883. In 1918 the number Of
parcels bought by outsiders dropped
to 3.SsS, involving only S165.2S4.4S in
taxes. This year 1886 parcels were
sold. netting only $14A120.6S in back
taxes This means that in the past
two years. the District has had more
property left on its hands for unpaid
taxes than in previous years.
