crock CABLES"

The last of the model homes located
at East Beach drive and Redwood ter
race, in Rock Creek Park Estates, has
been rooted and the first coat OF plas-
ter put on the walls. This house, built
by Edison w. Briggs Co., in the Cots
void manner, of gray stone to resemble
the country home Of gentleman OF the
fifteenth or sixteenth century, is much
the largest of the group.
The roofing is of heavy gray slate
shingles. The entire interior OF the
house was covered with metal laths
before being plastered. An unusual
feature is the staggering of the levels
of the first floor rooms. From the hall
a step leads down to the room on the
left and up to the one on the right,
producing an effect in keeping with the
rustic atmosphere sought.
The cement has been laid for the
driveway and automobile yard leading
to the spacious three-car garage which
frankly faces the street. Overhead
pipes have been built in for heating.
This house is situated on a large lot
overlooking the nearby stretches of
Rock Creek Park. Since the land
across the road Is Government prop
erty, the future tenants will have moth
ing to fear from future developments
which otherwise might destroy its beau
tiful natural setting.

Price Cut on
Willys-knight Model

Toledo-Thc WHY'S Overland COM
pany is opening the attack in the new
years drive for still greater WHY'S
Knight volume with drastic reduc-
ton of $50 on the WHY'S Knight
model Sc. already the lowest priced
WHY'S knight car ever built.
The new rices are at level which
would have been impossible few
months ago before the completion Of
WHY'S Overland's great manufacture
ing program which has brought re-
markablc economies to bear on THIS
years production. according to state
mcnts by WHY'S Overland officials.
The reduction on this model at this
time reflects the company's agrees
sivc sales and production program
for 1929 which calls for the sale of
10000 cars during the first quarter
Of the year as compared with 76.698
cars In the first quarter Of last year.
The model IS WHY'S Knight
brought out In 1928 played an impor-
tant part In attaining WHY'S Over
lands record breaking sales and pro-
duction for the year. The model was
widely accepted because of the smart
lines and roomy comforts offered In
the compact WHY'S Knight chassis
and its superior mechanical features
emphasized by severe road and track
tests which established the supremacy
of the smaller knight motor over
many others.

OFFERED
FOR UTILITIES TAX
Board of Equalization to As
sess Utility Property it
Bill Passes

A bill for uniform procedure III as
scssing and taxing public utilities IN
the state, which was introduced IN the
house Friday, will put into effect the
constitutional amendment OF last
March, according to Representative
Swendscid. Mountrail county, who en-
tered the bill.
While the constitutional amend
ment was drawn to correct methods
of taxation of public utilities, the
present bill provides machinery for
carrying out the amendment. The
amendment itself requires the state
board of equalization to assess power
and gas property.
Procedure Of taxation Of public
utilities In the state never has been
uniform, it is pointed out. The law
has provided in the case Of telephone
company property, for instance, that
the total valuation of the property be
apportioned on pro rata mileage
basis and has not provided that the
telephone exchange property be as
sessed In the district IN which 1t Is
located.
Listed in the bill among the public
utilities for which assessment and
taxation provision is made are cx-
press, sleeping car, telegraph. tclc-
phone, power and gas companies. The
measure also outlines the duties Of
the tax commissioner and the state
board Of equalization in carrying Out
It's provisions.
