INCREASED REALTY
VALUATION SHOWN
Fairfax Commissioner of
Revenue Reports Boost
of $60,777.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

8pecial Dispatch to The star.
FAIRFAX, Va, September "a
substantial increase in the total assessed
valuation of all real estate together
with its improvements In Fairfax
County is shown by the land recapitu
lation Just drawn up in the Office OF
James U. Kncheloe, commissioner of
yevenue.
An increase of s6o,777 in the total
assessed value is reported. which marks
q Jump from S11 1,428,33O in 1882 to
ll.489,lO7 in 1888. The value of land
itself without including any improve
nlerfts shows a decline in value from
S6.5O2.669 last year to $6,478,04 the
present year. This loss is more than
offset. however, in the increased value
of improvements, which have Increased
$85. 5.40l, or from S4925, ,661 in 1882 to
$5,0l1 ,062 the present year.
Increased Acreage Shown.
An interesting fact brought out in
the recapitulation is the increase in
acreage in the county this year. 1t
is pointed out by the commissioner
OF revenue, though, that this was
not brought about by any increase
in the size of the county, but rather by
the fact that modern land surveys are
was actually shown by old deeds
AS general rule, the acreage of the
county usually diminishes somewhat
each year because when any tract OF
land is subdivided into lots, 1t ceases
to be carried on the commissioner
books as acreage, but as lots instead.
In 1892 a total tax of $204 ,497. .38 was
assessed on land and improvements.
This year the entire tax amounts to
nf COHE
taxpayers. even though the total as
sessed valuation this year IS greater.
This reduction in 1888 taxes has been
brought about by slight lowering OF
the average of the several district tax
rates.
Providence Ranks First.
OF the magisterial districts, Provi-
dence ranks first in value of total land
assessments, exclusive of incorporated
towns, being listed with $3,O9O,O37.
Mount Vernon district is second with
a valuation of S2307, 1892. Providence
district, however, has an approximate
acreage 800 greater than Mount YER
non Falls Church district Whlch con-
tains many subdivisions, shows the
smallest acreage in the county, pelng
listed with but 22,548 acres.
Falls Church town ranks first IN
INCORPORATED town realty valuations,
where a total of s766,393 is listed.
Herndon follows with total OF S3Il,-
4l3 and Fairfax third with S36O,5ll.
The value of buildings and improve
ments on real estate has grown steadlly
during the past years in the county.
Many Improvements are missed eaen zen
wear however due to the fact that tne
county has no building ordinance that
requires new buildings or Improvements
to old buildings to be listed with any
department in the county.

HAVANA, Aug. 2l-Good souls,
Il Il stepped in the nineteenth
century legend of Anglo Saxon
benevolence, rejoiced in 1901, as
they cycled to work. that Leonard
Wood had cleaned up" Cuba and
opened schools for the benighted
offspring of backward neighbor.
They read that a great con-
course of volunteer firemen had
paraded Havanas narrow high
ways, ending their march by pre-
senting the military governor
with a shiny helmet and a lac
quered fire axe.
The demonstration indicated to
the American reader the simple
hearted gratitude of the Cuban
masses for tidy streets, punctual
trains. reformed courts, and an
honest collection of duties and
taxes.
In Havana and the provinces
the incident amused fiery revolu-
tionarieS, now disband.9d and
politically helpless. Cartoons poked
fun at the dourly efficient admin
iStrator in his patent leather head

Discomfort over the protracted
stay of the American forces rose

openly were expressed that a
Cuban Aguinaldo might at any
time pop up TO challenge the
'pacIficatorS."
Fortunately none did. The mod

Moreover. no Cuban could deny
