mateiy s4.soo.ooo over the assess
ment for 1s2o-31. the tax rate for
the coming year. 1s2i-.2, will be

over in Kent district. The sum OF
$s.700 for repairs to new school
buildings in the various sections OF
the county was levied.
Cause Of Increase.
The increase in the assessable
basis of Prince Georges County of
approximately s4.50o.ooe is due. pri-
marily, to the recent reassessment
ordered by the State tax commits
sion The erection of many homes
in the districts contiguous to the
District Of Columbia also tended to
boost the assessment. The general
scheme OF reassessing the entire
county has been only partially car
ried out, but nine Of the nineteen
election districts having been re-
assessed. Four OF the largest dis
tricts in the county, Chilium. Vans
Vile, Laurel and Bowie, have not
been reassessed and this holds true
as to six of the lower districts. 1t
Is estimated that when these dis
tricts shall have been reassessed
the total basis of the county will
probably reach s34.o0o,ooo.

With continuation of easier condf.

ket. Banks and institutions all over
were said to be sending orders here Far

Term r, investment in steady stream.
The supply Of bills was not adequate
to meet the demand, with the result
that dealers reduced their rates again.

5ofs to on per cent against 6 to 5M the
day before. A week ago the market on
me same type of bills was quoted
US to SA, so that the current rates
represent reduction of a full half
OF per cent.
orders that were received here yes
t,erday for acceptances came from near

they are still in the market.
Bankers. in discussing the great

Plan for Rail Rates
Permission to Pay in Dominion
Funds at Favorable Exchange
Nav Re Granted

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13. - Approval
Of the Canadian plan whereby American
firms shipping goods to Canada would
pay, for the portion of the Dominion
haul in Canadian funds at existing ex.
change rates favorable to them, was
expressed to-day by Officials of the In
terstate Commerce Commission.
w. M. Brown, an examiner on the
staff Of Chairman Clark, said the only
obstacle was the existence of Joint
rates between points in this country
and Canadian cities. He believed, how
ever, that the American railroads would
be willing to make known their share
OF the rates, which would enable ship
pers to figure the amount due to the
Canadian roads.
The Canadian Railway Commission
approved the plan Yesterday.

DEMPSEY EAGER
FOR WORK AFTER
FOUR-DAY REST

Atlantic City, n. j., June 3-After
a four day lay off Jack Dempsey will
resume training at his open air
that he will continue to work daily
without further interruption until he
finishes conditioning himself for his
bout with Carpenter.
AS a result of his idleness Demp-
sey was eager to swing back into the
training grind and his sparring part
ners prepared for a gruelling ses-
sion tomorrow. Martin Burke the
New Orleans heavyweight, will work
with Dempsey tomorrow for the first
time since Dempsey started training.
Burke is a tall, rangy fellow and is
expected to provide Dempsey with
an opportunity to display some
speed. In preparation for the ses-
sion with the champion, Burke took
a hard workout this afternoon, with
the champion as one of the specta-
tors.
Jack Renault and Larry Williams,
the other heavyweights in camp.
cut over Williams eye has healed in
the four days of rest. Joe Benjamin,
Babe Herman and Alexander Tram :
bitas are the little fellows ready to
face the champion.
Dempsey spent the final day of his
vacation summing himself on the
front porch of his house and playing
cards. In the afternoon he could
not resist the temptation to play a
game of baseball against team OF
theatrical stars and promised Mana
ger Kearns that he would run bases
in q less reckless manner than he
did yesterday. Kearrs consented to
his playing after issuing orders that
the champion could not do any more
pitching or daring base running.
The champion enjoyed the after
Moons game more than anybody. He
played third base and romped
around like a small boy. Dempsey
played in white flannel trousers, q
white shirt and white shoes. He
never wears a hat around camp and
as a result Of this exposure his face
and arms are tanned.
