REAL ESTATE TAX
CUT IS DEMANDED
Statistician Cites Burden on
Property Before Capt.
tai Realtors.

The heavy burden Of taxation now
borne by owners of real estate in the
District must be reduced, Rufus S. Lusk,
statiStician, declared in an address last
night before members of the Washing
ton Real Estate Board, meeting at the
Willard Hotel.
Citing figures to show the degree that
the tax burden on real estate has been
increased here in the past three dec
AIDES, Mr. Lusk declared there must be
an end to the continued rise.
The per capita tax on real estate in
the District in 1900 averaged about $l1
but now has risen to about SAL per per
son, he said. All District taxes have
been increased about $50 per cent in
the past 80 years, he declared.
Situation Can't Go On.
"This situation simply cannot go on, g."
he said. There must be an end to this
continued increase in the cost of our
government. People will not indef1-
nitely go on investing In a business
from which the government takes so
much of the return in the form OF
taxes"
Mr.. Lusk made the statement In
briefly reviewing results of a survey he
made for the realty board for presen-
mittee which is investigating rental con-
ditions here.
He explained that the statistical study
of the financial condition of 244 build
ings. having a total assessed valuation
of about $4,000, 900, showed that Sc per
cent of the total rent receipts went for
operating cost, including taxes and in
surance, but not mortgage interest; that
12.5 per cent went for taxes alone.
THE District government is in part
nership with the owners of real estate
in the District, in partnership with
them with vengeance" he declared.
You will realize this when you see
that for every dollar of profit taken by
the owner of the apartment buildings,
on an average, the District government
took in the form of taxes $170."
Based on Typical Case.
These figures were based on compu-
tations on a typical case drawn from
the statistical study, using the average
return of as per cent on the assessed
value found by the survey. the hypo-
thetical building being mortgaged to
60 per cent of its value at 6 per cent
interest.
The meeting also was addressed by w.
C. Miller, president-elect Of the National
Association of Real Estate Boards; John
L. Weaver, a past national president;
H Clifford Bangs, president of the
Washington board; J. F. M. Bowie, past
president of the local board, and John
r Meany, who discussed plans for the
Winter convention of the national body,
to be held here late this month.
Roger J. Whiteford, counsel for the
local board, reviewed evidence present
ed to the Senate committee on the rent
situation. Morton ]. Luchs also spoke
briefly.

By NEA Scrrice
LOS ANGELES, May 25.-The
Rev. John ODonnell isn't just an
ordinary pastor, and his church
here, st. Augustine's parish, isn't
just an ordinary house of worship.
On week days, Father ODonnell
is a motion picture technical di-
rector. And all the money he earns
goes toward support of the church,
which rightly can be called the
church the movies built"
With the money he has received
for his movie services, the pastor
has reconstructed st. Augustine's
parish, has built a rectory and a
schoolhOuse, and plans to finance
the erection of a new church in the
near future.
Various film players, too, have
contributed to the building funds.

PASADENA, Nov. "a. UP)-Dy-
ing winds brought hope of relief to-
day to a Wearied army of freight
erS, struggling to control a gigan-
tic brush fire that has spread a
wide path of destruction in the
populated foothills of the Sierra
Madre mountains.
A score of homes lay in ruins and
more than 5000 acres of valuable
watershed were devastated as fire
men sought to check the fire along
a smile front. Property damage
was estimated between three and
four million dollars.
A nightlong battle to prevent the
flames from roaring into the Ar.
royo Seco, Pasadena's principal wa
terShed, was rewarded early today
when the fire was blocked at the
Angeles crest highway on the west
ridge. Several hundred Civilian,
Conservation Corps men were
massed along the highway to keep
the fire from dealing a stunning
blow to Pasadena's water supply.
The situation in this section as
in most others was described by the
U. S. forestry station as very good.
A number of palatial homes were
menaced when the fire leaped into
Earl canyon after burning over a
25 mile area. The district was par
italy evacuated. A skillfully plan
ned back fire turned the blaze be-
fore it could reach the residential
area. A favorable wind aided fire
men.
Homes in this district include
those of Mae Marsh, film actress;
E. M. Hoag, chain store millionaire

lists climaxed such a murder case
as Chicago had not seen in years.
After the statement, the physi-
clan asked and received permission
of police to tell her story to her
family, one of the most prominent
medically in the city, in her own
words.
Police announced a belief that the
whole and true story of the killing
had not yet been revealed. They
doubted DR.. Wynekoops statement
that she cholorformed the girl and
shot her afterward.
The girl was alive when she
was shot" said Capt. Siege. ''Medi-
cal evidence shows this without
doubt. We believe more blood ex-
uded from the wound than would
have had she been shot while un-
conscious"
Police mentioned that another
young woman whose name has
not yet been revealed was involved
in some manner.
"Wynekoop had promised abso-
lutely to marry this third girl with
in a few months" one officer said.
Other developments may lead
from this angle
Captain siege described DR..
Wynekoop as calm and collected
during the confession.
