METROPOLITAN n

"The Four Feathers" enGea
,,.rt w,,, he found in -Four Feathers, Is
in its second week at the Metropolitan
Theater. Adverse criticism of this
picture appears to have been based on
the objection that scenes authentlcally
filmed in the British Soudan were dove
tailed none too smoothly into Hollywood
studio "shotS," the latter carrying the
thread of the story.
But the story holds complete inter-
est. After assembling, the scenes were
synchronized with music. Absence OF
voice does not detract.
-Four Feathers" does not claim 10 oe
a film epic. 1t is an extraordinary good
program picture, well acted. Richard
Arlen is given the heaviest part, though
he cannot be considered the star.
Equally good performances are given by
william Powell, George FaWcett, GIVE
Brook and a comparative newcomer,
Theodore Won EltZ. Fay Wray plays
the feminine lead. George Fawcett and
Wallace Berry give typical performances
in brief roles.
Action. for the most part, IS laid in
the Soudan and concerns chief1y the
rescue from tribal fury OF three Eng
fish army officers by a fourth English
man, whose earlier display OF coWardlce
had cost him his commission and white
symbols Of Contemplate Four Feath-
ers"-from the three officers and his
betrothed sweetheart.

TAX RATE
FIXED BY Richie
Levies Would Be Less Than
Any Since 1912
Budget.
BY STAFF Correspondent Of The Star.

BY stan correspondent OF Inc StaE
ANNAPOLIS, Md, March 20.-Lower-
ing of the State tax rate for 1880 and
1881 to a fiat IS cents was announced
last night by Gov. Albert C. Richie.
when he sent to the Legislature his
second and last supplemental budget.
The 1929 rate is 25.74 cents. The rate
for the next two years is the lowest
since 1912, and this in spite OF the fact
that budgets contain the largest appro-
priations ever to pass through the Leg
islature.
Gov Richie, when he announced his
proposed 100000 appropriation for
State roads, said that the rate could
be lowered to PATS cents If the State
took advantage of the Federal law
which permitted the State to take 80
per cent of all inheritance taxes COL
lected within it by the Federal Gov
eminent. In sending the supplemental
budget. he said that he was still of
this belief, but that he had decided to
recommend, instead, the fiat rate, be-
cause he wanted to be extra conserva-
tive in estimating the revenues which
will be derived from the 80 per cent
Federal contribution.
He said. however. that the ascent
rate is subject to the proviso that no
legislation is passed at the current ses-
sion appreciably diminishing the current
revenue of the State, and also subject
to the proviso that no special supple
mentary bond issues are passed carry
ing their own taxes in order to meet
them.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
POTOMAC, Va. March 20.-Estab-
lishment of centralized fire and police
control in Arlington County within the
next year was predicted here Monday
night by Corporation Attorney Walter
U. Varney, who is president of the Ar
lington Fairfax Volunteer Firemen's AS
ISOLATION, In statement made at the
meeting of the town council of Potomac.
Varney said that plans are now being
considered for the installation of CEN
trail telephone switchboard at the Ar
lington County courthouse for the
proper handling of all appeals for fire
and police aid, under coming plan
similar to that used in large cities
whereby the operator in charge of the
switchboard will dispatch the nearest
fire apparatus and policemen in answer
to calls.
Each of the II companies in the
county handle their own alarms under
the present system, with the result that
on many occasions several of the COM
panies are called out unnecessarily.
He asserted that the board of super
visors has approved the plan and the
only setback encountered thus far Is the
cost of installation and operation de-
manded by the telephone company.
Varney's disclosure of the central con-
troll scheme was made when Councilman
Harry Hampton requested the council to
take some action to have the board of
supervisors place some one in authority
to send in calls for additional apparatus
when needed to fight fires. 1t was
brought out that every fire company in
the county was called out recently for
small grass fire near the Clarendon
School,

ABATTO|R PROTEST
TO Be ADVERTISED
Campaign Against Arlington
Plant Will Be Renewed
This Week.


ARLINGTON, Va. March 20.-The
first gun in the renewal of the cam
paign against the establishment of an
abattoir in Arlington County by the N
Auth Provision Co. of Washington will
be fired this week by the opposition in
the form of a large advertisement IN
one of the weekly county newspapers
it was revealed today by the publisher
of the paper, who is himself prepayment
of the plant.
New Battle Lines Formed.
Since the failure of the company to
make formal application for the permit
at the meeting of the Board of County
Supervisors on February %, the scores
of organizations and prominent officials
who have been against it have remained
silent.
This attitude, however, 1t is said by
Frank G.. Campbell. chairman of the
special citizens protest committee. is
not to be taken as an indication that
opponents of the plant are idle.
Circulars are now being prepared and
will be mailed throughout the county
calling the attention OF the residents OF
other sections to the alleged disadvan-
abattoir on its property on Columbia
that a number of meetings are now be-
ing planned and will be held before the
question again comes before the super
visors on April Is.
Formal Notice Irregular.
At the meeting of the board when
the question was supposed to come ul
there we're more than 100 representa-
tives of county and Federal Organiza
lions present to enter their protest
They were prevented, however, from
having an opportunity to express them
selves as Col Charles T. Jesse, one oil
the attorneys for the company, an
nounced that the formal notice of the
intention of the company to seek a per.
NIT had not specifically described the
location of the property and therefore
had not complied with the ordinance
requiring it's publication. A following
published notice gave the date of April
IS as the day upon which the applica'
ton will be presented.

W|ERS MILL ROAD
BILL INTRODUCED
Development of Old Mont
gomery County Artery
Asked in Measure.
BY staff Correspondent of The Star.


ANNAPOLIS, Md, March 20.-De-
velopment of an old and practically use
less artery of traffic from the eastern
to the western section of Montgomery
County, by the improvement of the
Viers Mill road from Georgia avenue
at point near Wheaton, direct across
country to Rockville, the county seat,
is provided for in a bill introduced in
the House of Delegates yesterday by E
Brooke Lee, speaker of the House and
county leader. The proposed new de-
velopment would make short cut to
Rockville from the main eastern artery
of the county, and would obviate the
necessity of traffic proceeding to Nor
beck and then crossing over to the
west side.
The bill authorizes the county COM
missioners to acquire the necessary
rights for the widening the road to
60 feet, and to construct on the right
of way a concrete road 20 feet wide.
The proposed new road, 1t is specified
In the bill. would begin at Georgia
avenue, 1000 feet south OF the inter-
section of the Kensington-Wheaton
road. running northwesterly over the
existing line of Stonestreet avenue IN
Rockville, and then in Stonestreet ave-
nue. to the Norbeck road, distance OF
65 miles.
1t is provided that one-half of the
cost of the improvement is to be as
sessed as a benefit against abutting
or adjacent property, which the bill de-
clares is specifically benefited. In the
following proportions: One-half of the
said one-half to be borne by abutting
property on both sides of the road and
within 200 feet; three-tenths against
the next adjacent property between 800
and 1000 feet and one-fifth on prop
ertv between 1900 and 2,400 feet from
the proposed improvement.
However, it Is provided that no bene-
fit charges are to be assessed against
property located on the northeast side
of the Brcokeville pike Georgia
avenue), or against any properly 10
Gated within 500 feet of the pike. The
special assessments are mace payaoie
In five annual, equal installments, bear
ing per cent interest. The county
commissioners are authorized TO issue
five-vear certificates Of indebtedness To
cover the cost, and these are declared
in the bill to be general obligations
against the county. The property In
election district No. Is is made spe-
cially liable for any deficiencies In the
general assessments.
For the half of the cost of the I'm
provements, which the county Is to pay
the county commissioners are author
lied to issue bonds to the limit Of $780,
600, bearing interest at per cent.
