CH|LDREN'S FARE
HEARING IS CALLED
Public Utilities Group to Con-
slider Various Proposals
Pending in Congress.

Although no legislation requiring re-
duced fares for school children has yet
been passed, the Public Utilities Com
mission will hold a public hearing on
the subject beginning at 10 O'Clock to-
morrow morning in room 104 of the
the District Building.
There is more or less conflict in the
provisions of the measures in various
stages of completion in the legislative
mill, and no certainty that any of them
will be enacted into law. The House
District Committee favorS 2-cent fare
and the Senate Committee would simply
order that the fare be reduced and
leave the exact reduction to the Public
Utilities Commission. There is also
considerable variation in language re-
speeding those who are to benefit from
the legislation, whether it shall be for
public school children alone, or for all
school children, or for all children.
There is also doubt whether the half
fare provision refers to the token fare,
of 712 cents, or the cash fare, of 10
cents, although Commissioner Harleigh
H. Hartman said yesterday he supposed
the token rate is intended.
Should no legislation be passed, the
hearing would be of no value, but should
some bill pass, then the commission
will be in a position to enforce its
provision sooner than if it had waited
for the passage of the bill before or
dering the hearing

RADICAL TAKING
CHANGE PROPOSED
Brookhart Introduces Bill to
Apportion Burden on In
StalIment Realty.

A radical change in the method OF
taxing real estate in Washington was
proposed late yesterday by Senator
Brookhart, Republican, of Iowa, who
introduced a bill to provide that when
property is being bought on the install
ment plan, the tax assessment would be
apportioned between the purchaser and
the holder of the mortgage.
The percentage of the assessed value
charged against the purchaser would be
in proportion to the amount he had
paid on the property at the time of the
assessment, and the remainder of the
assessment would be levied on the
holder of the mortgage or deed of trust.
The bill would amend the assessment
laws by adding the following new
section:
Beginning with the taxable year
1882 in the case of real property pur-
chased on an installment basis, where
the obligation of the purchaser to pay
is secured by mortgage or deed of trust,
the percentage of the total assessed
value of such property assessed for any
taxable year against the purchaser
thereof shall be equal to the percentage
of the total purchase price paid and
payable up 10 the commencement of
such taxable year for such property,
and the remainder of the total assessed
value of such property shall be as
sessed agains5 the mortgage, or the
trustee named in the trustee deed"
Explaining his proposal, Senator
Brookhart said he felt that the rule
of charging the property owner taxes
on the full value when half or two
thirds of it is covered by mortgage is
unjust. He said q similar proposal is
being advocated in his State. The bill
was referred to the District Committee.

larly anxious to get House action on
the substitute measure for the old
Borland law, which has been made in
tricate by a series of court decisions.
The corporation counsel also is inSiStent
upon early action on the repeatedly
rewritten new traffic law. There are a
half dozen other District measures
awaiting action on the House calendar
and conspicuous among these is the
bill to regulate billboardS and exterior
advertising in the District.
A particularly strong effort will be
made to get action on this measure by
the House on February 8. There is
more unanimous agreement on this
measure than on any other pending
legislation for the District. The bill is
sponsored by the District Commission

billboard and other advertising inter-
ests, as well as by the National Capital

that the Capitol dome itself could be
seen with the naked eye, the officers
asserted, to say nothing of the bal
looms, but the negatives must be devel-
