GOING TO INVESTIGATE

But after the two had had their
talk, it was announced Wilbur was
picking out a committee of experts
to decide what the navy needs most
of-battleships or aeroplanes.
This means a victory for Wilbur,
if real experts make real investi-
cation, for everybody knows what
naval experts think about it.
The president, converted by tie
round-the-world fight, is said to IA
vor aeroplanes. Navy men, while
admitting aeroplanes' Importance
as the battleships' "eyes," argue
that eyes are all to the good for see

SHOWING" THE PRESIDENT

Secretary Wilbur is one of the
navy men. In other words, he dis
agrees with the president. The m
vestigation doubtless means chat
the secretary has got to "show'' the
president, but it also means that
he's going to have a chance to
"show" him-the president isn't go

out chance to argue that the bat

Ennis Declares.
GROWTH OF WORK REVIEWED
Collection of Facts on Real Estate
Valuations Urged.

The importance of appraisals of
real estate and the necessity of realty
boards keeping accurate records of
all appraisals is pointed out in a let
ter this week sent to all real estate
boards by Fl. r. Ennis, president of
the National Association of Real Es-
tate Boards. He says:
"A growing part of the work of a
real estate board is the making of
authoritative appraiSalS. Such ap
praisals are more and more being
utilized in the buying and selling of
property, in tax accounting. in the
settling of estates, in determining
the value of leaseholds and of corpo-
ration assets and in establishing val
ues for insurance and for income tax
determination. Throughout the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate
Boards the work of good appraisal

thorities in their communities on real

one result of the growth of APP
praisal work has been to emphasize
the great advantage and Importance
nf keeping in every real estate board
office all records available which bear
ON real estate valuations.
a real estate board can do more
substantial service than the DullQlnS
up of as complete file as possible of
sales records and similar records es-
tabliShing property valuations. Above
all. of course, every real estate board
should keep a careful record, in de-
tail. of all appraisals made by it's
appraisal committee.
''lt is only necessary to recall how
frequently retrospective appra1SalS
are now called for in income tax
matters to establish value as of March
T. 1918, in order to realize how Nalu-
able it would be to every real estate
hoard now to have a file of transfer
records and appraisal records going
back To that date.

1T is to he expected and hoped that
the specific date March !, 1913, will
presently disappear as Il datum point,
out the value of sales and other rec
ords for appraisal purposes will in
crease as the years go on, and the
collection of all available facts OF
realty valuations is first step in
putting under our feet solid foun-

HEARINGS
MONDAY
Senate Committee to Quiz
Mcclellan on Proposal to
Cut Rate.

The perennial traction problem
of Washington is to be investi-
gated again by Congress, the
Senate District Committee open
ing hearings next Monday.
The specific purpose Of the
present inquiry is to determine
whether Senator Kenneth Nickel
lars proposal Of return to q
scent street car fare in the Dis
trict is feasible. The Tennessee
Senator will appear before the
committee at it's first hearing.
Resolution Doomed.
Senator Mcclellan will face a com
mittee more or less prejudiced and
opposed to his proposal. which in
itself merely declares that the Capt..
tai Traction Company and the Wash
ington Railway & Electric Company
be forced to live up to their contract
obligations calling for a five-cent
fare. There is little prospect that
his resolution ever will be accepted
/ by the committee.
There is real earnestness. how
ever, on the part of leading mem
bers of the Senate District Com
mittee to enact constructive trac-
ton legislation for the city. Sena.
tor King of Utah Is now preparing
new merger bill. which he thinks
will eliminate most of the objections
to the existing ones. The District
Commissioners stand pat" on their
proposal Of a year ago-the pro-
posal that a consolidation of the
two traction companies be forced
by means of an excess profits tax
which would fall heaviest on the
Capital Traction company and there
by eliminate it's supposed financial
objections to absorbing the Wash
ington Railway and Electric COM
pany.
Ball Sees Compromise.
Senator Ball, chairman of the Sen
ate District Committee, Is confident
that the Senate District committee
will be able to agree upon and en-
act a satisfactory compromise bill.
He is against any legislation which
will cripple the street car companies
and makes no secret of the fact that
he believes it is impossible to return
to a five-cent fare here without
bankruptcy for at least one of the
two local traction systems. However,
he has not prejudged the case and
is deeply interested in the presenta-
ton of the case by Senator Nickel
lar.
The Tennessee Senator has taken
no further action to hold up action
on District bills pending the con-
sideration of his resolution. The
Senate, now in the throes of a dull
waiting period, enacted three Dis.
trict bills yestesday-the Dial cleo.

and the Anacostia Park nursery bill.

Company and William F. Ham,

way and Electric Company haYe
