d. c. BUILDERS PROFIT
BY LEGISL ALIVE JOKER
BUT CITY WILL
SUFFER Loss
Of $3.50

Through legislative Joker In the
closing days Of Congress last week,
the District will lose revenues total
Ing $2S5,OO0, during the coming
fiscal year. and new home builders
will be able to have sewer and warer
mains put In at less than half cost.
AS a result of failure OF the second
deficiency appropriation bill, 1t was
stated at the Capitol today, the Dis
trict on July must go back TO the
1904 rates Of assessment for the In
stallation Of mains.
The present rate of 50 per front
foot for water mains will drop to
SLIPS. and the rate of So for service
sewer mains to 81. The 1886, 900 esti-
mated loss Of revenues will be divided
between the water fund and the gen
eral fund. This may result in All
increase above even the present rate
during the fiscal year beginning July
1, 1928, as means Of making up the
deficit which will occur this year.
The chief gamers from the failure
Of Congress to extend the present
rates will be home builders, espe.
ciaily operators who are developing
on q large scale.
On q 50.foot front lot the assess.
ment for water and service sewer
mains at present is approximately
$3.50. During the coming fiscal year
the same installation viii cost the
owner only $112.
The law was allowed to lapse de-
spite the efforts OF the House Appro-
priations Committee. which made
every effort to have the present rate
continued.
An amendment to continue the
present rating was inserted in the
District appropriation bill. but was
stricken out on a point of order.
Representative Martin B. Madden
Of Illinois. chairman Of the Appro-
priations Committee. then introduced
a bill to make the present rate per-
manent law. This bill failed in the
final legislative jam.
An amendment then was carried
in the second deficiency bill, which
failed because of the Senate filibus-
ter In the closing days OF the session.

HEAVEN ON EARTH"
BOOKED AT OHIO

Renee Adoree and Conrad Nagel
are the featured players in Heaven
on Earth" a romantic drama of
France of ten years ago, which will
be shown as the main photoplay at
traction at the Ohio theater for the
coming week.
| 1t was made under the direction of
Phil Rosen from a film adaptation

that by the time he is twenty-six he
has escaped every adventure, and
never endured any hardship, except
perhaps the hardship of missing the
things than an ordinary, healthy
youth experiences, and their attend
ant emotions.
Renee Adoree, it is said, takes her
audience through a veritable avail
anche of emotion, from comedy to.
tragedy, blending and shading each
scene with an understanding that be.
trays the real artistic in her. Conrad
Nagel, as 'Durand," the man who
revolts against the near imprison-
ment by fate, paints the soul strug-
! gle of a man who has been brought
up with everything already done for
him, and the result Of his being sud
denly thrust into a world that docs
not understand him.
Gwen Lee, one of the most decora-
tive of the younger screen players,
is seen as NageIs fiance, and An
tonic Daley plays young French
lieutenant. Marcia Manon, Julia
| Swayne Gordon and Pat Hardigan
complete the cast.
Charlie Davis and his musical gang
will be featured in an offering called
palm Beach Nights" and Bob Cor
don will play at the organ. An Andy

a Pathe news will be included in the
