admiration also.

neighboring counties OF Maryland and
Virginia work in unison with the Ma

The new Commissioner likewise has
learned of the plans Of the Federal
Government to erect it's group of new
buildings in the triangle bounded by
Pennsylvania avenue. B, Fifteenth
street and the Botanic Gardens.
and he Is cognizant of the problem
he will face as a District Commits
sioner in planning n group of build
ings for the various municipal agen-
cies that will have to move out Of
the triangle to make way for the Fed
eral building program.
Although the task of preparing the
District budget for presentation to
Congress in December probably will
be started by the Commissioners be-
fore Col. Ladue takes office in June,
he will be in Washington in ample
time to take part in the final surveys
that are always made after the Bud
get Bureau has seen the preliminary
figures. Col. Ladue plans to devote
himself promptly to this major activi.

Col Ladue was not prepared to dis
cuss at this time the question Of fiscal
relations btween the United States and
District Governments in maintaining
the National Capital, since he has
been out of touch with the develop
ments of the past few years on that
question. He remembered. however,
that when he was living in Washing

feet. 1t has since been changed, first
to a 6040 ratio and now to a lump
sum contribution Of 100000 by the

RICHARDS DEFENDS
TAX ASSESSMENTS
Assessor Denies Commerce
Chambers Charge of Un-
warranted Increases.

Tax Assessor William p. Richards
today emphatically denied that in
creases made in real estate assess
ments in certain sections of the Dis
trict are unwarranted as charged in
resolution adopted last night by
the board of directors of the Wash
ington Chamber of Commerce. The
valuations of the assessors office, he
declared are merely an echo of COM
munity values placed by the seller
or purchaser Of property.
ut has been three years since we
have had an assessment based on
sales" said Mr.. Richards. In the
meantime, sales have been climbing,
and there has been constructed near
| " $3.50. 1000 worth OF buildings, ac-
cording to the builders. Building
values are reflected by ground value.
"This office in making assessments
| is guided entirely by sales, which are
| not always uniform, but form basis
| for equalization. For people to ask
one value and claim another for as
sessment purposes is unreasonable.
"District authorities have been en-
| deayoring for the last two years TO
| purchase sites for public schools ana
| other municipal purposes within 20
| per cent of the assessed NaIuatlon'
with very little success. The public
| cannot object to valuations for as
| sessment purposes when they are rea'
| sonable for foundation.
1.-The assessors office valuations are
merely an echo Of community values
placed by a seller or a purchaser or
property. and the Office can easily
show that it does not pass the limit
| of these community values. For eX-
ample, survey of the area between
sixth and Twentieth streets and M
street and the Mall discloses that there
have been made in the last three
years in 122 squares, SAT sales. These
sales aggregate in consideration or
market value paid $5S,538,237 and the
| new assessments on these same prop
| critics aggregate $55 403,231, which IS
less than the combined sales.
1.-TWO years ago the same properties
were assessed at $45 900 900 and the
raise has not been abnormal when
the sales are examined.
| Appropriations by Congress have
| been on the increase and have been
| met by an increased tax rate. In 1924
| the rate was $1.20; in 1925, S1.40; in
/ 1926, $f.70, and this year, $3.50. This
is an increase Of so per cent in the
| tax rate alone.

StructIon is almost eXaclly uouDls Tue
cost in 1914, and the cost of construc'
ton cannot be ignored in the making
of assessments. We have, therefore,
two factors increasing the amount OF
taxes-one, the increase in the tax
rate, and the other, the increase in
construction costs which rules the
selling value.
Assessments follow the evidence
and are not based on any imaginary
valuation or on what some people
think they should be-"
