improving the quality of their prod

The speaker confessed that he had

of moving pictures for educational art
work. but had high hopes for accom-
plishing much in this way when col
ored movies are perfected.

traced the history of the equipment

BY COUNCIL

The Citizens Advisory Council ia
mourning the wrath Of District de-
partn1ental heads for the manner
in which it has conducted hearings
on the budget estimates this week.
The council has been meeting
every afternoon this week, from
2:3O to $50 p. m. to consider the
budget requests of the departmental
heads, and these officials have been
asked to appear and explain their
requests.
In the hearings the council has
quizzed the officials closely oh
every detail of their budget re-
quests and in some cases severely
criticised them.
This action on the part of the
council, which is an entirely In.
official body has riled some Of
the department heads. One of them
said today that the council was
actually more bulldozing than any
Congressional committee he had
ever appeared before.
Feeling against the council
reached a climax today when two
District officials refused to appear
before the council this afternoon
pleading previous engagements"

DISTRICT TAXES
MAY BE GUT

The Districts tax rate for next
year will probably be $1.75 on
every 500 worth Of real property
as compared with this years rate
OF $3.50 it was learned at the Dis
trict Building today.
With a $1.75 rate local tax, pay
ers will actually pay almost 20 per
cent more in taxes next year than
they did this year because assess
ments have been raised by that
amount.
The total assessment for this
year is about $3.50, 900, 900.
Tax Assessor William p. Rich
ards has estimated that the new
assessments will total about ST.
10000, 900.
The rate of $1.75 has not been
definitely settled upon. however. The
final decision will probably not be
made before tomorrow at the
earliest. but tentative figures pre-.
pared by Auditor Daniel j. Donovan,
and submitted to the Commissioners
in a special meeting yesterday, in
dictate that the rate selected will
probably be $1.75.
If the $1.75 rate is finally selected
property owners in less progressive
sections OF the city will pay a little
less in taxes this year than last, but
most property owners will find a de-
cided jump in their tax bills.

has made improvements over the 1927
cars and that these improvements
are worth seeing and studying and
appreciating. Jackson says that the
