COPELAND HOUSING
BILL IS CRITICIZED
ContempIates Unnecessary
Expenditure of Public
Moneys, Says Miller.

The Copeland housing bill, which
would authorize the creation of a hous-
ing board and the incorporation Of lin
tied dividend housing corporations in
the District, contemplates unnecessary
expenditure Of public moneys" in the
opinion Of william c. Miller, president
of the National Association of Real Es-
tate Boards and member of the local
realtor firm Of w. c. & A. N. Miller.
With the exception of the proposal
for the establishment Of housing
board and the recommendation Of an
appropriation Of S25, 900 per annum for
the act, I am of the opinion there Is
nothing In the bill which IS prejudicial
to our interests" Mr.. Miller said today.
Backs Part of Bill.
II am thoroughly in accord with that
portion Of the bill which would foster
the construction Of new housing facili-
ties under public supervision, with
proper standards of sanitation and
safety and at a cost which will permit
monthly rentals within the means of
families Of low income, and for the
gradual demolition of existing insani-
tary and unsafe housing" the realtor
said. He expressed the belief, however,
that the construction of new housing
facilities for the low income group "is
impossible Of accomplishment"
Declaring that the proposed board
in itself would be duplication Of the
powers already vested in the National
Capital Park and Planning Commission,
Mr.. Miller is Of the opinion that such
body as that contemplated in the
bill should "be an adjunct to the Park
and Planning Commission"
'The act of Congress approved April
80, 1926" he declared, Charges the
commission with the duty of prepar-
ing, developing and maintaining a COM
prehensive, consistent and co-ordinated
plan for the National Capital and en-
virons, which plan shall include
housing, building and coming regula-
tions and public and private building"
Fears Abuse Of Power.
The National Real Estate Boards
president also said he feels that abuse
of power might result from that Sec
ton of the bill permitting the District
Commissioners to determine by ordi-
nance that real property of the mu-
ntcipality is not required for use by the
District and may sell or lease such
property to q limited dividend housing
corporation.
'I do not believe the act as a whole
can do any HARM" Mr.. Miller added,
except that 1t Is repugnant to good
practice and is a waste Of public
moneys, for do not believe any prof.
ect undertaken under the proposed act
can be successfully financed by private
subscription Of capital"

living room, with its Colonial wood
burning fireplace, and on the other by

floor are equipped with large closets.
They are serviced by large bath room

major feature. Covering half the

TEST CASES PREDICTED
ON GROUND RENT RULING
Thousands of Baltimoreans Are
Expected to Benefit by Bu-
reau's Decision.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, February 18.-Test
cases to determine whether the Gov
ernment should refund Federal income
tax paid on ground rents In past years
were forecast this week, with the ruling
that the annual ground rent paid
might be deducted from gross income
in making out returns.
The new ruling by the Bureau Of
Internal Revenue Is expected to bene-
fit thousands of Baltimoreans, but it
has not been decided yet by Federal
officials whether the ruling is retroac-
tive.
Rent on an irredeemable ground
rent may be deducted only when paid
on property used for business purposes.
This deduction is listed as a business
expense. Should the courts decide on
the retroactive clause tens of thou
sands OF Baltimoreans would receive
funds. The new ruling applies chiefly
to Baltimore, one Of the few cities In
the country having ground rents.
