Virginia Hot Springs

HOT SPRINGS, Va. August 21.-
The annual exhibition of the Hot
Springs Horse Show Association will
be held this week, in conjunction with
the Bath County Fair. This arrange
ment has been in force for several
years. Maj. w. Mckee Dunn and
Mrs. Fay Ingalls, are on the horse
show classes committee, and an inter
esting program has been arranged.
The fair itself is very much a native
matter and is patronized by native
folk from distant mountain valleys
and farms. In sharp contrast are the
fashionable visitors at the Homestead
and those of the cottage colony.

Homestead, of particular interest this
year, figured very markedly both in
arrivals and events. Lieut.. Col. and

ARCHITECTS COUNCIL WORKING
AS BUILDING ADVISORS EXPLAINED

week three or more architects. and
each week a different group OF them,
are invited by the assistant to the
Engineer Commissioner OF the District
of Columbia to meet with him in his
office and advise as to the esthetic
qualifications of plans which have
been submitted to the Building De
partment for permits to build. These
plans are for residences, hotels, thea
ters. apartment houses, warehouses.
etc. The authors of the plans are in
vted also to be present to hear the
comments, which are always friendly.
Matters of architectural style. color
and kind Of materials. suitability of
the type Of building for the neighbor-
hood-all these things are discussed.
and the author of the plans Is made
to feel that he is part of a scheme to
improve the city.
Tho spirit of cooperation with the
idea of more beautiful city is the
handspring of this effort, and the idea
Of the builders and architects coop
Grating together in speculative, build
ing is a natural outgrowth of this,
which is now sponsored by The Eve
ming Star in it's modelhouse program.
The Architects Advisory Council
wants to see the public appreciate and
demand better quality in architecture
and building-higher standards all
around. This experiment is demon
strating that they do appreciate these
things.

ARCHITECTS PRAISED
FOR WORK ON HOMES
Cooperation and Willingness to
Accept Suggestions Have Helped
Model Houses Project.

Considerable praise has been given
to the architects of the local chapter
Of the American Institute of Archi-
tects for their attitude and unselfish
cooperation in connection with the
preparations of plans for the model
homes demonstration.
Each architect in the demonstra-
ton has presented his plans for the
particular problem with which he was
dealing to the achitects advisory
committee for the purpose of sugges-
tons. and even changes If necessary.
This unusual action on the part of the
architects resulted in a sort of labora-
tory among those who were engaged
in designing the houses, and con
siderable good resulted from the
combined experience of the designers.
Much praise is also being given to

BY ROGER W. BABSON.

BABSON PARK, Mass. June e6.-
For the first time since the war. find
a popular resentment arising against
further local taxes. When the great
mass of State, county and municipal
bonds began to be issued. following
the war. only a very few people
realized that these bonds must some
day be paid. The voters. of course.
understood that increased expendi
lures for current expenses would in
crease taxes, but they did not seem to
realize that voting for bond isues
would increase taxes. Therefore all
new bond isues went through with
almost unanimous votes. In fact.
many voters felt that the only ex-
Dense connected with the transaction
was printing of the bonds. Conditions
today, however, are considerably
changed.
AS result of voting a bond issue,
the tax rate must immediately he in
| creased to cover the interest of the
bonds. AS many States required an.
nual sinking funds or serial issues.
these annual payments must also i'm
mediately be met by increased taxes
In the aggregate this increase in
taxes becomes a large figure. AS taxes
are increased, rents are increased
likewise. AS a result. the cost of these
bond issues IS now being severely
felt in many communities. Until there
was an increase in rents. the non
property holder thought that these
new bond iSues would not affect him.
Therefore 1t was only the large prop
erty holders who held up a hand of
| warning in the early days Owing TO
the increase in rents. caused. by in
creased taxes. every voter is now be
coming seriously interested in the tax
problem. Popularity of new bond is
sues is apparently on the wane.
New Roads Great Factor.
| An analysis of the State. county
and municipal bonds issued during
the past five years shows that a great
| proportion is for building new roads.
| Expenditures for new roads is poptI-
| lar because new roads not only in
crease property values hut also give
a great amount of joy to every one.
Even the most pessiinistic must admit
that expenditures which thus far have
taken place for new roads have been
exceptionally worth while. The road
situation, however. is now getting
pretty we'll in hand and many of the
roads now being projected are for pri-
vate development rather than for pub
lie necessity. But as the subdivision
craze is now on the Wane and most
communities have enough new lots
! laid out to take care of their growth
for years ahead. additional roads are
now being given careful scrutiny.
| The Supreme Court decision in
/ connection with Texas road bonds
| has also dampened the ardor of bond
| houses for new issues of road bonds
| Although this decision technically
I of
j: directly affects road bonds in some
other States and sentimentally af-
| fects all road bonds. This TeXa s
decision will result in the redraft-
! ing of road district legislation in
a way TO give more opportunity for
| dissatisfied taxpayers tn object. AL
though new legislation can rectify
all defects in present laws. vet this
very rectification will tend to make

Chairman of Architects Advisory Council
OF the District of Columbia
The average citizen is scarcely
aware of the various influences that
are being marshaled and organized by
enthusiasts almost everywhere. and
much of it with purely altruistic mo-
tives. In the field of art various
movements are on to raise the general
level of appreciation for the finer
things. many of them extremely prac-
teal and far-reaching in their ulti-
mate results.
In architecture particularly this IL

ago which has been gaining momen-

that the general public should know

Possibilities i'm City.
We all know that we have a city
in the making which has possibilities
of becoming one of the most beautiful
cities IN the world. In order that this
may be brought about it is necessary
that it's growth be homogeneous.
We have laws regulating heights of
structures, also coming laws to keep

We have the Fine Arts Commission
to advise as to our public buildings,
parks, monuments and such things.
All are legally authorized and largely
ba sed on the theory that they are
necessary for the physical and moral
weIlbeing of all. Laws which would
go further and say that on certain
streets and in certain sections all build
ings must he of such exact height.
