The heavy end Of this burden
rests in the hands OF the Senate. The
House has passed the tax. tarih and
railroad bills. and IL will attend to
minor matters while waiting for the
Senate to send the measures back
for final agreement between the two
houses.
Because OF the death OF Repre-
sentative Taylor. Arkansas. the first

brief The House adjourned i'm
mediately out OF respect for the
dead member and will take three
day recesses thereafter until October

bill starts, the Senate is expected 10
adjourn for the day after the tax
bill is reported by Senator Penrose.
The President is eager for the
Senate to pass the bill providing for
refunding $500. 100000 OF railroad
securities for the war finance cor
poration. believing II will stimulate
business.
Meanwhile the Senate Finance
Committee will reopen hearings on
the tariff bill in order to have II
ready for consideration when the
other measures are out OF the way.
Returning Senators have reported
10 Republican leaders that the peo-
pie are demanding relief from
freight rates. In response to this
demand a movement is on foot to
repeal the transportation taxes cut
to half the present rates in the tax
bill Stamp taxes will be substituted
TO make up the lost revenue.

INTERESTING FIGURES

The State Auditor OF PuD-
lie Accounts has published a
compilation of assessed
value of personal property,
tangible and intangible, real
estate, money and income in
the several counties and
cities of the Commonwealth
for the year 1920. A study
of its pages is interesting
and highly instructive. For
the benefit of the Gazette's
readers, we call attention to
some of the figures therein
given, pertaining to Alex
andria. It seems that we
have 1873 horses, mules and
asses (four-footed) within
our corporate limits, assess
ed ait S15,135.00. We have
III vehicles, ali1nal-draWn,
valued at S11.375.00; 593
automobiles, motor trucks,
motorcycles and bicycles,
valued at S203, $4,000 or
$4,000 each; 514 watches,
valued at S7,491.00; 2l0
clocks, valued at Sl,810.OO;
443 pianos and other musi-
cali instruments, valued at
S31, 085.00; household and
kitchen furniture, valued at
$225,655.O0; and a capital of
all persons, firms, and cor
porations employed in a
trade or business in Alex
andria, of S698,618.00.
According to the report
our citizens have money on
deposit with banks, other
corporations, firms or per
sons, the sum of 1897, 728.
The total value Of income
assessed on the income tax
books for 1920, was 81, $685.
$500, including the tax at
1 per cent. and the tax at 2
per cent.
The value of city lots and
buildings in Alexandria, by
the re-assessment in 1920,
was $S,070,990. Richmond,
Norfolk, Roanoke, Ports
mouth, Newport News,
Lynchburg, Petersburg, and
Danyille lead Alexandria in
The order named in value of
real estate, it being the ninth
city in Virginia in point OF
assessed valuation.
The tables and statistics
given by Mr.. Moore are, as
stated, highly instructive
and interesting, and should
be read by citizens generally,
who are interested in the
financial administration Of
their state government.
