Taxable Basis Is
Estimated $24O,548
Less Than In 1888
Economies Will Permit Reduc.
ton In Montgomery County
Tax Rate

The total assessable basis for
Montgomery County upon which
taxes will be levied for the new
fiscal year beginning July 1, will be
reduced by the sum of $24O,548, ac-
cording to county auditor Alexander
X. Hancock. Mr.. Hancock estimates
the new figure at $1O3,95S,56O as
compared with the 1882 basic figure
of $104,199,10s.
Economies in the operation of the
county government made possible
through legislation enacted by the
State Assembly and other savings to
be effected in the drafting of the new
budget, however, will enable the
Board of County Commissioners to
carry out their plans to reduce the
$1.30 tax rate, Lacy Shaw, president
of the board, said.
Despite the decrease in the total
taxable basis-attributed by Hancock
to shrinkage in the value of securi-
ties, personal property and State GER
tifications-the estimates for the
coming year disclose an increase of
81 ,307,245 in the combined taxable
basis on real and personal property
due to the pretentious real estate de-
velopment program carried on in the
county during the past year.
Hancock's figures, compiled as a
guide for the County Commissioners
in their preparation of the budget for
the new fiscal year, reveal that the
total basis on which the general
county tax rate is to be applied will
be $87,S72,S45, while the basis on
securities, bank shares and franchises
which are taxed at a special tax of
45 cents on the 500 with the county
receiving 80 cents and the State 15-
is $16,586,215.
The figures, the auditor said, are
subject to minor changes before the
budget is adopted in its final form,
but are expected to hold true.
Included in the basis on which the
general rate will be levied is $S3, 1885,
800 on real and personal property,
81, 655, 1926 on motor vehicles, $420,985
on shares and corporations and $780,
145 on ordinary business and nom
stock companies.
The basis of $16,5S6,215 on securi-
ties, bank shares and franchises in
cludes $12,755, 682 on securities, de-
crease of $475,548 on the basis on
securities this year.
1t has been estimated by Hancock
that the revenue from State certifca-
tions, which include motor vehicles,
shares, ordinary business and nom
stock companies, will total approx
mately $4,000 during the new fiscal
year, decrease Of about $4,000 I'M
der the amount received during the
current year. The anticipated de-
crease, the auditor declared is the re-
suit of the drop in bank stock and
securities valuations.
The real and personal property
basis this year was $S2,449,645 and
the basis on securities $13,2S1, 239.

FIRST LADY URGES
AID FOR HOSPITAL
Asks Those Who Can to Help
Drive of ChiIdren's In.
stituti0n.

An appeal for public support OF the
campaign of Children's Hospital to
raise s25.OOO for a new heating plant
was made today by Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt She also made contribu-
ton to the fund.
In a letter to Miss Matte M. Gibson
superintendent of the hospital, Mrs.
Roosevelt said she hoped the public
would realize the emergency faced by
the institution and come to the as
siStance Of the children of Washington.
Her appeal was broadcast.
1T has just been brought to my at
tention." Mrs Roosevelt wrote, that
the Children's Hospital is facing a very
difficult situation. The heating plant
has to be replaced before cold weather
comes or the hospital will not be able
to keep open, as sick children cannot
be exposed to the risk of catching cold
in cold building.
The closing of this hospital will un-
doubtedly mean great hardship to a
great many poor families who will have
no place near them where they can
take their children who fall i'll or need
an operation. 1t will add enormously
to the burden Of other hospitals and
cannot help but mean that many chill
dren will either go without the care
they need or that they will receive less
adequate care.
Il am sending you this message hop
ing that those who can possibly do so
will realize that this is an emergency
and come to the assistance of the chill
dren of the city of Washington"

Secretary Perkins
Frowns on $4,000
Private Elevator
Claims Exclusive Lift Is
Undemocratic but Con.
venience Stays.

The $4,000 private elevator that has
been constructed for the use Of the
Secretary in the new Labor Depart
ment Building will be an unwanted
stepchild, SO far as the present Sec
retary, Miss Frances Perkins, is con-
cerned.
Learning a private lift to her suite
of offices in the new building was in
cluded in the plans. Miss Perkins yes
terday tried to halt its structure. but
found it was practically completed.
Then she discussed with builders the
possibility Of tearing out the elevator,
but discovered this would add from
$4,000 to $4,000 to the expense, SO
she abandoned that plan also.
However, she made it clear she does
not intend to use any private elevator,
holding such facility, even Tor .
cabinet officer, Is undemocratic.
Miss Perkins, on several occasions, 1t
was pointed out by employees OF the
Labor Department, has corrected over
jealous elevator operators in the pres
ent Labor Department Building who
have sought to give her privacy in the
regular elevators. As q result elevator
operators now allow the car which bears
Miss Perkins aloft to serve In the usual
manner, instead Of seeking to keep en-
ployes and visitors to the building out
Of the same lift Miss Perkins Is using.

Cream Trucking
Facts Presented

Cream trucking in an area in
southwestern Ohio centering around
Hillsboro and Circleville is done
mainly by small trucks. The So
truck owners interviewed by R. w.
Sherman, of the Department of Ru-
raj Economics at the Ohio Expert
ment Station, had So trucks with
which they were hauling cream. Of
these 68 trucks, 55 were either l. or
Il u ton trucks. Only one was above
the 112-ton size, and it picked up
cream only incidentally to milk
hauling.
Small trucks are the most econom-
ical to use for cream trucking be-
cause of the distance necessary to
drive and the light loads carried.
The average load of cream of the 68
trucks was 1900 pounds and the av-
erage number of miles driven per
route was 81, with an average dis
tance driven per farm pickup of
2.67 miles.
Cream trucking in only few in
stances occupied the majority of the
owners time. The average number
of miles of driving per year per
truck was 30,409, and of this distance
only 9,471 miles were for cream
trucking. The average income per
week was approximately $29 per
truck; the rate for cream hauling
varied from l to 3 cents per pound
of butterfat.
Practically all of the cream truck
ers were engaged in at least one
other occupation besides cream truck
ing, and some were engaged in two
or three other businesses. Twenty
seven were doing general hauling,
nine were operating cream stations,
and nine had milk routes. Seven
creameries were operating cream
pickup routes, and seven truck own
ers were dealing in other produce
along with cream. Six owners were
farmers and three operated stores.
In 1882 the total road mileage of
the Ia counties in which the study
was made was 12,910, of which
4,232 miles were earth roads. This
4,232 miles represented 32.78 per
cent of the total. Less than one per
cent of the mileage covered by cream
truckers was over dirt roads. Ac-
cording to the 1880 census, 81 per
cent of the farms of the area studied
was still on dirt roads, showing that
a very small per cent of the farms
on dirt roads sold their cream by
truck.
