Two surveys were made by the
bureau in the period between No
vember, 1925, and October, 1927,
one covering the tax conditions in
the cities, and the other dealing
with the complicated subject Of
taxes in suburban counties. The
purpose OF the work was to deter
mine exactly the relation Of the
amount of taxes paid in Alexan-
dria, Arlington county, and Fair.
fax county, Va. to those paid in
every other important. section Of
the country.
The bureaus researches were be.
gun on the assumption that the
actual realty tax burdens in the
nearby Virginia communities were
materially less than in many other
parts Of the country.
This assumption was proved to
be fact by the results OF the sur.
vey, which disclosed that the taxes
paid in the two counties for 1926
were only One-third of the average
of amounts paid for the same year
in forty-nine other suburban coun-
ties, and that the tax paid by
Alexandrians for the same year
was less than one-half of the aver
age of amounts paid by the 227
other cities In the compilation.
OF the fifty counties listed. Fair.
fax county was the lowest n adj
justed rate actually paid on $1,000
of fair market value, and Airing.
ton county was next lowest, with
only rs cents more on the 81 200
than Fairfax.
Alexandria was fifth lowest in
amount paid on 500 Of market
value. in the. list of 228 cities
which covered every section of the
United States and included cities
in As of the 48 States. A signifi.
cant feature of the city tax corn.
pflation is the fact that three.
fourths of the cities reporting 1927
rates. in addition. to those of 1926
showed an increase in rate over
those of the preceding year.
In two cases. Washington. d. c.,
md Kansas City. Mo-, there were
increases in both rate and average
percentage of assessment. due to
the fact that many properties in
each city were reassessed at a
far higher figure between the two
years.
Elaborate precautions were taken
by the bureau, it Is stated. to in
sure the accuracy and impartiality
OF the two surveys and to make
them so complete that they would
constitute cross sections Of real
estate tax conditions all over the
country. The facts and figures
were secured from responsible of.
ficials of moro than 500 Of the
$500 principal areas of city and
county taxation in the United
States.

ing around slow-moving trucks costs
motorists a great deal of money year
ly, in addition to having them lose
the pleasures derived from motoring.
The question is one that many
State highway officials are studying.
Public officials and motorists are
elated with the introduction of fast
duty six-cylinder trucks, from re-
ports we have received. The truck
users, in many cases, appreciate
what it means to have one of his
trucks cause motorists delays, hold
up long line of passenger car
drivers and generally throw the
morale of either business or pleasure
driving aSkew.
Fast duty trucks with six-cylinder
passenger car comfort and smooth
ness had to come. That they will
make motoring on the highways a
greater pleasure in addition to solv-
ing many problems for the truck
owners is assured.
OFFICIALS INTERESTED
1t is with satisfaction that we view
the interest taken by State highway
officials in these trucks. Recently
in one of the large Southeastern
States, where we sent a truck cara
van through that Commonwealth,
observers from the State highway
commissioners office rode our trucks
to see just how far the claims we
