Building Must Go On

Eleven million homes in America, occupied to-

and must be replaced. When the work of replace
men begins, as it must very soon wave of residen-
tial building will move across the country.
This conclusion of leading experts is confirmed
by recent statement by the heating research bureau
of the C. A. Dunham Company in Chicago, which al
declares that like residences, thousands of other
buildings-busness blocks, hotels, apartments thea
ters and banks-are seriously impaired through OBJ
SOlescence.
In many of these remodeling and undermining is
proceeding now with the probability that the next
few weeks will substantial totals for this type Of
work The statement further says:
Reports to the bureau from branch offices in
seventy cities show that many heating engineers are
carrying on vigorous campaigns of modernization.
Large operating economies are being effected by
building owners through banishment of obsolete
plants, with substitution of scientific differential
systems. Such changes paid for within COM
paratively short time by the savings in fuel which
range from rs to 40 per cent
Reports further indicate that funds to meet
demands for conservative building projects be-
coming available in most sections of the country so
that on the whole the prospects for a substantial
building revival seem better than at any time during
the past year.

lest economy, was able to reduce the school tax As
cents this year, just half the total reduction which
the republican mouthpiece is making such fuss a.
bout.
The Democratic State Tax Commission reduced
the state tax IL cents and the nonparsan board OF
aldermen reduced the city tax cents. These reduc
tlons contributed to the 90cen cut The countys por
tion OF the reduction only 27 cents.
And when the taxpayer becomes further a.
cquainted with the FACTS he will be greatly disap
pointed that the tax cut not almost twice what
lit And it would have been much greater than 27
cents had the republican board of supervisors prac-
ticed even reasonable economy
Looking at few of the figures, all of which are
a matter OF public record, any taxpayer that
the program of retrenchment has been practiced in
almost every instance except by the republican SUI
pervisors in the conduct of the countys business af
fairs
When the budget for this year was made up in
july there available in the general fund $63 200
co. whereas at the same time last year there only
$28,232.52 in the general fund, or $34967.48 MORE
MONEY ON HAND this year than last and avail
able for expenditures controlled entirely by the re-
publican supervisors.
This excess amount On hand was made possible
by the tremendous amount of interest on back taxes
collected by Democratic County Treasurer A. Dunn
bauld and current personal property taxes collected
by Democratic County Assessor Harry V Farrior.
Under provisions of House Bill No. 127, Dumbauld
collected during the past twelve months $136 323 81
in delinquent taxes covering the years 1915 to 1927
inclusive and IN addition, S3Z8(Z9S IN interest on
back taxes All of the latter went into the general
fund to be used by the republican supervisors as they
see fit.
Furthermore, the school trustees of the county,
in making up their budget for this fiscal year only
asked for $7823538 for the general school fund as
compared with $1O1 54867 last year, or reduction
this year Of $23,31329
With this $23313.29 cut off the county's expenses
and with the excess of $34 96748 in the general fund
made possible by the interest back taxes collected
by the Democratic County Treasurer why is it that
the supervisors ask for to be raised by dir
ect taxation this year for the counys general fund.-
and then make such a loud cry about cutting the
countys expenses?
The reduction from last year on this item is on
ly about $600OO0. How does that stack up with the
dfferentia Of approximately $58OOOO0 the supervis
ors had to play with in arriving at the tax rate for
this year?
All of this was not brought out by the republican
mouthpiece and very likely will not be mentioned prior
to the election, but these facts the taxpayers
should know.
The republican crowd will probably come back
again with the statement that SAL 100000 in bonds
were retired last year but have already informed

nothing whatever to do with it any more than thew

NATURAL GAS, which almost refutes the
old saying that N''you can't get something
for nothing" has one natural handicap that
puts something into the nothing" The
wells are more or less bothered by water and
removal of the water presents problem which
adds constantly to the cost of gas production.
The prime object, of course is to exclude
water from the well. but because of the nature
of the strata through which the gas passes
coming to the surface, it is next to impossible
to prevent water entering. Where the wells
are older and the pressure of the gas dimin-
ishing the problem is more difhcult.
Many methods have been tried in the past
for removing the water. Pumping blowing,
bailing and swabbing all have been tried, with
success none too great, for the expense has
been high by these methods. The Bureau of
Mines now is presenting substitute method
siphoning-which, it is believed will be far
more economical than any of the former
methods. In fact when the siphon once is in
stalled and in operation it is expected that the
gas itself win do the work of Kidding the wells
Of the objectionable water.
The water is detrimental in many ways, not
: the least of which is its habit of freezing in
cold weather and stopping the flow of the
gas or seriously curtailing it when it is wanted
most.

Forest Profit for States.

THE national forests of the country, entailing
huge annual outlay which In 1928
reached total of $40, OOO, 900, are returning
some of this sum, and the return with the
development work complete will be even greater
in the opinion of forestry experts
For the fiscal year ending June 80, the Gov
eminent received back $6.4O0,0OO made up
largely of payments for grazing and timber
privileges OF this sum one-fourth, or ST.
5000, went to 80 States in which the forests
were located under a provision whereby the
Federal Government allows the States to share
in the profits in lieu of paying taxes.
The money going to the States must be used
for school or State roads work, under the agree
ment with the Federal Government.
Because Of the overproduction in the lumber
business little effort has been made to dispose
of the national forests timber but this over
production is expected to end in the not too
distant future, either through regulation or

Many cities and other communities are fol-

are to be developed as town forests In future
years, it is expected that in these communities

movement has received considerable impetus
in the New England States in particular.

Notes of Art and Artists

rather with the purpose of evoking through
memory or association, emotions
OF exceptional interest is a water color by
Olive Rush. "Charros Before Parade" which
shows certain relation in adaptation to the
primitive art of the Indian and to the very
ancient art of the Chinese-an impression of
rhythm of line, of motion and of fact briefly,
but very sensitively rendered.
These painters for the most part speak a
new language, employ an entirely new idiom,
a language which may eventually be modified,
an idiom which may in time be cast aside, but
which TO-DAY give evidence not only of discon-
tent with things of the past, but of yelling
up of new springs of inspiration Such works
cannot be judged by any standard of the past,
nor can they be regarded as indicative of
new future. They are essentially works in
transit, concerning which one must seek and
find individual and personal Interpretation.
II Is OF interest to note that in commissioning
works in sculpture for the adornment of the
Arlington Memorial Bridge and the entrance
to Rock Creek and Potomac Pathways scup-
tors rather than models have been chosen.
1t has been announced that James Earle
Fraser has been chosen by the Arlington Me-
mortal Bridge Commission to do the two figures
representing the arts of peace to be erected at
the entrance to the Rock Greek and Potomac
Parkway, and that Leo Friedlander has been
commissioned to model the two figures on the
bri6gehead proper, representative of the valor
of war
In this way the sculptors. who have proved
their ability, viii be allowed free scope in the
matter of designing and modelling works suit
able for particular placement, and will be able
to adapt their work to the exigencies of need
with the assurance that it is eventually to be
given permanent placement. In other words,
will be able to work with assured purpose.
James Earle Fraser, it will be remembered,
is the sculptor who designed the scent piece
now in common usage; also the statue of
Hamilton on the south steps of the Treasury,
and the memorial to Ericsson in Potomac Park.
Among his other notable works are The End
OF the Trail" San Francisco; the John Hay
Memorial. Cleveland. and Canadian Soldier"
Bank of Montreal, Winnipeg.
MT. FT1edlander was born in New York City
and studied at the Architectural League of
New York and at Ecole des Beaux Arts, in
Paris. From 1913 to 1916 he held fellowship
IN sculpture at the American Academy, in
Rome. He is the sculptor of the categorical
hfe-sized bas-relief in the United States Cham
Der of Commerce Building in this city. His

buildings throughout the country.
