MAZATLAN SERVICE OPENS MONDAY
New Method May
Determine Worth
OF Improvement

A community that wants a new
street in the future may have to do
more than present the bill to the
tax payers, says the National asso-
citation of Real Estate Boards in an
article on special assessments in its
weekly series On subjects having
to do with the land.
Methods Of raising funds for
highways, sewers, sea-Walls, and
subways, by levy against property
owners, are being revised in many
parts of the country to meet chang
ing property conditions, points out
the association.
Scientific methods of determining
the exact pro rata benefit in dollars
and cents of public improvements
to property owners, before the i'm
provements are made, are replacing
the old systems of opening the
street first and sending out the bills
later.
The greatest change is in the new
practice of ascertaining benefit
zones within an area and taxing
these zones on the basis of the
benefit received. This differs from
the old plan of spreading assess
ments over an area in proportion to
it's size, regardless of particular
benefit. For the new systems take
into consideration all the fine shad-

less than Is per cent of the produc-

the combined truck and fruit ship

total fruit shipments of five years
hence as estimated upon the basis

Must Secure Markets
The theory that no markets exist
fer Valley products, a theory based
upon the low prices received by
growers in recent years, is a fallacy.
The market does exist, and that
market car be expanded to consume

WheE water transportation rates are
available. Until such rates are Sc
cured and the great consuming
markets of the east coast thrown
open to Valley production, this Sec

Tho Lower Rio Grande Valley last

It is true IA in recent years
there has been an immense tonnage

placing products in those markets
has left to growers and shippers a
very small margin of profit, and the
operation costs of the railroads have
not made the traffic highly remun-

Uniform Regulation
OF All Amateurs To
Be Sought By Dutch

PRAGUE, April 6.-(P)-A ques-
ton to be considered at the Euro
pean broadcaSting conference here
in which the United States is par
ticularly interested, is the proposed
adoption of a uniform interINtion-
al license for amateur radio oper-
ators.
The proposals are to be submit
ed to the conference by the Meth
erlands government. Under these
amateur stations would be author
lied to operate exclusively within
the limits of these bands: 20.8 to
ola meters, Al to 42.8 meters and
rs to IS meters.
Amateur transmitting sets would
be limited in maximum power tc
so watts, calculated according tC
the product of the current of the
anode and the anodic tension OF
the emitting tube or tubes which
transmit the energy to the antenna
without the insertion of other
tubes" An increase in the trans
hitting power could take place only
upon the approval of the govern
mental radio authority.
"A tAlC bO6AAlAAAAA6 IN AAo "a CoOA
transmission, the call signal Of the
amateur station would have to be
repeated at least three times. Dur
ing the transmiSsionS the call sig
nal would be repeated several times
at brief intervals, inserted in the
text of the message.
The amcteru would be required
to have ready for use near his
tranSmitter a frequency meter by
which the frequencies assigned may
be determined, a voltmeter to de-
termine the anodic tension, an am
meter to measure the current Of
the anode Of the emitting tube and
a receiving set of which he is the
owner.
The use Of damped waves. damp
ed-continuous waves and the So
called working and resting wave:
would be forbidden. For feeding
the current or of tWo-phase, recti.
fled filtered current would be per
mitted.
