ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, Va, February 5.-Three hun
dred new homes at an assessed valuation
of S679,000 and an actual valuation of
100000, were constructed in Airing
ton County during 1923, it was re-
vealed today by Harry K. Green, COM
missioner of revenue.
Checking back on his records, Green
discovered that in 1920 there were
$3.50 homes assessed in the county and
that there are now 1926 homes, an in
crease of 100 per cent in nine years.
This is the largest gain shown in any
county in the State and record, he
think, that cannot be beaten by any
other community of like size in the
entire country, since Arlington is the
smallest county in the United States.
An increase of $1,717,032 in the
assessed valuation of real estate, per-
sonal property and public service
corporations was shown in 1928 over
1927. The total assessed valuation for
last year was $27,710,188, as against
$26,693, 1856, he said.
Arlington district has the largest
assessed valuation, with $13,659,l76.
Jefferson district follows with $8,677,-
SbZ, Wnlle washington district has
$5,373, $50. There were total levies of
$705,568.48 in the three districts.
Washington district has the largest
tax rate, paying $3.50 on each $500 of
assessed value. The rate in both the
Arlington and Jefferson districts is So. so,
the difference between these and Wash
ington district being the payment of in
terest and retirement on road bond
issue f1oated number of years ago. GIn
the East Falls Church section of Ar
lington district there is rate of $l65
and in Washington district $l95.
The various levies for districts are
as follows:
School bonds-Jefferson district,
S13,016.79; Arlington district, $40, 1924;
Washington district, $7,51266. Total,
$40, 981 SO.
Fire observation-disclosures district,
$8,677.89; Arlington district, $13,634.97;
Washington district, $5,00845; East
Falls Church, Arlington, $2422: East
Falls Church. Washington, $36472. To-

 THEORY DISPUTED
Father Believes Freshman Met
 With Foul Play Last May

Cambridge. Mass, Nov. 20 (UP)- Russell Peabody Satterthwaite, liar yard freshman found dead in his room in Gore Hall here on May 2a last. was the victim of foul play. his father, Pennington Satterthwaite Of Short Hills, x. J., believes.
 According to word received from the father. a wealthy New York architect, last night, months of pri- yate investigation has made it ap- pear entirely illogical that the l9- year-o student took his own life. Satterthwaite s death has been off cially listed as a suicide.
 The elder SdtterthWaite said a painstaking Check-up had definitely established that the bottle of chlor- ofOrm found near the body was not purchased in New England. He add ed that while his private detectives mad been unable thus far 10 deter mine the course of the Chloroform, he believed his son was slain by someone who brought the drug 10 Cambridge from somcW here outside of New England.
 The father said he had no idea as 10 what the motive might have been in the event that his son was mur- Gered. but that there was nothing about the case to support the suicide theory.
