assessed valuation than during the
preceding year, and be higher In the
fiscal year 1898 than In 1882. The
revenues Of the city from real estate
taxation would be approximately Sl2,-
100000 greater In 1888 than in 1882
under the same rates of taxation, he
said
Another interesting portion Of the
testimony is the following:
Mr.. Cannon: How does your as
sessment in the District compare with
the assessment in other cities such as
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
and Chicago, in a general way?"
Mr.. Richards: "I do not know of a
single city of 100000 people that has
anywhere near the assessment that we
have. We will take Newark, N. j.,
which has nearly 100000 population,
and they assess at one-half Of our
value, but the rate is higher"
Mr.. Cannon: How does the contri-
button of the taxpayers in those cities
compare with the contribution Of the
taxpayers of the District. when you
take into consideration both the as
sessment valuation and the rate? How
does the contribution of the taxpayers
in those places compare with the con-
tribution made by the taxpayers IN
Washington"
Mr.. Richards: Higher, because Of
the bonds that they have issued and
the extravagant use they have made OF
their money. It Is bound to be high.
Evening star., 1932-04-02

II YOU would take 80 cities in ,bs
United States averaging a ponliation
of SOC, 900 you will find that their rate
is about 20 mills on a full adjusted
value. II you will subtract from tha
tar they are paying as interest and
sinking fund on their indebtedness the
rate will come very close to sI IN or
81. 80 per hundred. cannot nrove
this to you absolutely, but 1t is In NV
mind that way"
In another period OF the hearing
Mr.. Richards brought out that nrop"
erty values in the District have been
increasing. over a period of wears. de-
spite the fact that the population of
the central section Of the District has
been decreasing.
The population of the District as a
whole has been increasing annually.
but that of that section within the
original boundaries has been decreas-
ing, he pointed out. He referred TO
the 1000 acres Of the old city rlnning
around the Eastern Branch. Rock
Creek the Potomac River and Florida
avenue.
"The value OF land In the District
would increase from year TO wear witn-
out any one living inside the bound
aries If the population increased out
side and the pressure Of the population
in buying capacity showed up in the
District" he continued That would
increase ground values"

sessments on r street properties "be-
cause we did not go to that peak. We
did not attempt to do that, because If
we reached 1t in one year. we would
have had to reduce 1t the next. 1t
has been our policy to try to keep F
street assessed with gradual rise,
rather than have peak values and then
decline in them. !"
When land on F street was worth
about $50 per square foot, we had
$4,000 people in Washington. That
was in 1916 During the war values
seemed to spring out OF sight on F
street and other places around.
I'VE might have tried to reach that
peak Gin assessed values and then the
next year there might have been a
great decline That is not the proper
way to arrive at assessed valuations,
The proper way Is to try to keep as
sessments on a gentle rise, or up Ia
its fair market value under normal
conditions. Those were not normal
conditions at that time. You Will re-
member that 10000 or 10000 people
came into the District, stayed while
and then went out again"
Explaining that there would be in
creases in assessed values in some sec
tons of the city, with others remain
ing stationary, and still other places
subject to lowered assessments, Mr.
Richards said that for the District as
a whole land values had increased
horizontally during the past fiscal
year, and that each building Is con-
sidered on its own merit.
For the entire District as whole
he said, there would be larger total

FOR SEAT Tie

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 22.-U.PD-
The Southern California Trojans
were enroute to Seattle today on
the last lap of their quest for coast
conference championship .honors.
Thirty-six football players were
in the contingent that set off last
night for the Thanksgiving day bat
tie with the University Of Wash
ington Huskies. The first stop in
the northward trek was at Sacra-
mento, where a short practice ses-
sion was planned for this after
noon.
The Trojans will be hampered
in their endeavors to keep their
1882 slate clean by the absence Of
Ernie Smith, giant tackle. who was
unable to entrain with his team
mates. Stricken with influenza af-
ter the Oregon game, Smith was
ordered to remain in a hospital by
physicians who said he would not
be able to play in the last confer
ence game of the season. His place
in the lineup will be filled by a
young and heavier Hercules, Hues-
ton Harper, sophomore.
Otherwise, the Trojans were re-
ported in tip-top condition by their
mentor, Howard Jones. Jones ex-

Veterans ShouU
Willing Spirit

Axes replaced banners for 13
members of the ill-Starred Bonus
Expeditionary forces Saturday when
the bonus marchers, returning
from Washington, asked aid from
Captain Jess King of the Saliva
ton Army in getting along on
their road home.
The small contingent of bonus
marchers was able to make its
way from Cleveland to El Centro
in an old motor stage which had
been given them, but here they
ran out of funds for gasoline, and
applied to the Salvation Army.
Captain King, remembering a
stand of trees waiting to be cut
down, loaded the willing bonus
marchers into a truck, furnished
them with implements and set
them to work. Like a tribe of
beavers the veterans attacked the
trees, cutting them down, splitting
the wood up and completing their
task in record time. Their reward
was enough gasoline to carry them
tc San Bernardino.

JOBS WANTED
FOR IDLE MEN

Ell Centrans are asked to "make
jobs" for the local unemployed
again this year as a means of as
sisting unfortunates until the let
tuce season opens in mid-Decem-
| ber.
The appeal was made today by
w. N. Cunningham, who has
charge of the federal free employ
ment agency in the valley He ex-
planned that his office will be able
TO send men or women to work
Immediately upon a report that
work is available. Anyone hav-
ing work to be done is asked to
telephone 85.
In a file maintained for the pur-
pose, Cunningham has 800 persons
listed who are in need of employ
ment of any kind.
"These men and women want
work, not charity" Cunningham
said, land they are willing to do
any kind of work for any length
of time. Even a few hours work
will be welcomed.
Residents of this community
assisted greatly last year in the
matter of made jobs and it is hoped
they will do the same this year.
Providing work for them will re-
lieve the. burden of the central re-
lief committee"
1t was suggested that residents
might provide work by having
their premises cleared of unwanted
trees, unsightly brush or shrubs
The work thus provided would help
the unemployed and improve the
appearance of the property. Odd
jobs of painting or repairing also
may be handled by the men want
ing work in order to keep off the
charity list.
Warning Issued
Women also are listed and are
willing to do any kind of house
work as means of earning funds
with which to maintain them
selves and their families.
Since Imperial Valley employers
plan to utilize local unemployed
this year, the United States En-
ployment service recently broad
cast a warning to people in all
sections of the country that there
is no agricultural, packing house
or other employment available
here.
The warning contained further
information that there is sufficient
labor here to handle all require
ments. Transients were warned
that they would work on a hard
ship upon themselves by seeking
work in the valley.

President Hoover and Governor
Roosevelt prepared for their meet

The majority of French news
paper correspondents in New York

cred it likely the American gov
ernment would reconsider the sit
uation after the next payments
are made.

believe President Hoover woulc

Bonus Morchers'

no funds to aid 'bonus marchers"
who stop here.
The veterans had asked financial
aid and lodging for 1,500 veterans
who, they said, would arrive in
Chicago this week enroute to
Washington.
The delegation also wanted per-
mission to hold a "tag day. for the
marchers. This also was refused,
the committee explaining that vet
erans' organizations already had
held two tag days" this year.

has grown 1000 acres of melons at
