EXPORTS OFF

Maryland's export trade fell off
sharply in the first nine months
of 1882, its exports during that
period having been valued at
$12,413,128 as against $22,597 ,494
for the corresponding period Of
1881. These figures were an
nounced today by the Commerce
Departments statistical division.
Although the point was not
brought out specifically it ap-
peared that owing to the greater
purchasing power of the dollar,
volume of export did not decline
to the same degree that value
fell. For example, wheat contin-
ued to rank first among Mary
land exports, but the volume was
3,6O6,551 bushels as against g.
914,686 in 1881, while the value
fell to $2,388,289, as against $3,-
224,72O.
Leaf tobacco exports showed an
increase in volume, from 5,587, ITO
pounds to 6,335,847, but the total
price was lower. Iron and steel
plates, etc, declined about one
half both in volume and value,

REASSESS|NENT 7
NEED CITED

Reassessment of Montgomery
county properties will lower the
tax burden of home and store
owners by spreading the tax to
include unimproved land, it was
declared today by Major E.
Brooke Lee.
Previously only homes, farms
and business properties were
taxed equally. The new assess
ment proposes to raise the tax
on unimproved land to the other
level, he said.
In answering criticism of this
policy, he said:
"HOme, store and farm own
ers should support the reaSSess-
ment through which suburban
land will pay a larger but an
entirely fair proportion of the
total county tax bill, unless
home, farm and store owners
desire to pay this substantial
amount of taxes fairly charge
able to the suburban land for
1888 and the years to come"

To RULE
On ZONE CASE

Arguments by attorneys for Mrs.
Jesse w. Nicholson. of Chevy
Chase. Md, on the validity of the
Montgomery county zoning laws
will be heard tomorrow before
Judge Charles w. Woodward in
the circuit court at Rockville.
Mrs. Nicholson was found guilty
of not having a proper building
permit for improvements on a
gasoline station owned by her on
the Rockville Pike when tried be-
fore Police Court Judge Donald A.
De Lashmutt in Rockville, two
weeks ago. He fined her SO and
refused to increase the fine to $11,
which would have permitted an
appeal.
Mrs. Nicholson, who is presi-
dent of the National Democratic
Women's Law Enforcement
League, would not pay her fine
and was remanded to the Mont
gomery county jail, atop the new
Rockville court house, where she
stayed for IS minutes.
Her lawyers obtained a writ Of
habeas corpus, bringing her be-
fore Judge Woodward, and at
tackled the warrant, saying it was
not specific enough.

SHAKY BRIDGES
BAN TRUCKS

The Glendale, Md, Volunteer
Fire Department is banned from
crossing two bridges over the
Washington, Baltimore and An
napolis Railway. The bridges are
on Prince Georges county roads.
This information was revealed
when the county commissioners,
meeting at Upper Marlboro yes
terday, received a written protest
from the fire-fighters.
The bridges, it was explained,
are wooden structures, and old. AT
Randle Station there is a $100
fine for vehicles weighing more
than 1000 pounds caught cross
ing the bridge. At Bells Sta
ton a similar fine is threatened
for vehicles weighing more than
5000 pounds. Both weights eX-
clude the fire department.
The commissioners advised the
fire company to seek permission
from the railroad to use the
bridge, and said that if this fails,
some other action will be pro-
posed,
