Hyatt TTSV|LLE'S
LOAN OFFICE
ENLARGED
Top Floor of Police Building Is
Given Over to Peyton and
Staff as Work Grows

The rush for loans at the re-
gional office of the Home Loan
Corporation at Hyattsville has re.
suited in the need for larger quar-.
ters for the staff.
Thomas L. Peyton and his force
we're using only one room in the
police headquarters building, but
now they have acquired the entire
top floor.
Two Get Offices
An office has been provided for
Mr.. Peyton and Lansdale G. Sass
Ger, counsel for the office. There
is also a reception room.
The office of Mrs. w. L. Preston,
county welfare agent, was moved
downstairs into that of the county
nurse to make way for the loan
officials.
Mr.. Peyton declared yesterday
that he desired persons making
their loan applications by mail to
include the book and page in
which the deed for their property
was entered at the office of the
county recorder.
From Rural Areas
This is done to simplify the work
of approving the loan and to save
time for the title examiner, it was
pointed out.
This information is needed only
in the case of applicants from the
rural districts, Mr.. Peyton said.

A boyish prank played on him
by a brother many years ago made
John De Witt Sterry, of New York,
blind. Six months of agony fol.
lowed, intensified by prospects of
a lifetime in darkness
Then at the hands of a Gotham:
specialist who worked miracles by
prescribing powerful spectacleS,
the boy recovered his sight.
He died June 13, an old man,
but. remembering how his sight
had been restored, he bequeathed

TUESDAYS PRIMARY HOLDS BIC STAKE FOR SENATOR
Code Boosts Costs,
But Killian Sees
Profits Later

George P. Killian, head of
Killian & Co., paper box manu-
facturers, in putting the pro-
visions of the National Recov-
cry Administrations code into
effect, finds that his operating
costs advanced from $285 to
$685. a week as a result.
He has introduced a 30-hour
week with a minimum pay
scale of 80 cents an hour, and
will employ three more workers
at once. BY fall he expects to
double his present force, but
this will be largely because of
seasonal conditions, he said.
Mr.. Killian believes that the
business men will lose for a
time under the codes but event
ually they will come out all
right.

FEDERAL POSTS
SEEN HANGING
. IN BALANCE
However, Machine Choice for
Governor of Virginia Ap-
pears Well in Lead

Senator Harry Flood Byrd of
Virginia has much at stake in the
Democratic primary to be held in
the Old Dominion next Tuesday.
Patronage in the State will not
be distributed until results Of the
election are complete and if the
candidate of the Byrd machine,
Judge George F. Peery, for gov
ernor, is defeated or makes a poor
showing, the Virginia Senator's
power over the political plums will
be greatly lessened.
Smith Cites Threat
Judge Howard w. Smith, men,
Der Of Congress from Alexandria,
leading proponent of his brothers
candidacy, stands to win many
favors if the brother, w. Worth
Smith. jr., State senator of Louisa
Courthouse, wins the Democratic
nomination.
Representative Smith, in a re-
cent speech at Ballston, said he
had been warned that if he sup
ported his brothers fight his "po-
litical life would be lost" and
that he would Immediately be
barred from political favor.
This was borne out in the fact
that certain appointments Of
minor nature, made in northern
Virginia recently were obviously
Byrd nominees.
Peery Seen in Lead
OF course Smith has been able
to get one or two appointments,
but in the main the ones made
are ardent supporters of the
Peery-Byrd contingent.
Choice in the primary is prac-
tically tantamount to election in
tie general polling in November.
At present, returns from all
parts of the State show that
Peery has a substantial lead,
Smith in second place, and
Joseph T. Deal, Of Norfolk, a
close third.

REOPEN Vets
REGULATIONS
Irregularities in Veterans Com.
pensation Matters to Be
Ironed Out.

As a result Of conferences between
the President, the National Commander
of the American Legion, Louis Johnson,
and the Director of the Budget, the
following conclusions have been
reached.
As result Of the application of the
veterans regulations, it now seems that
the cut in compensation of service
connected world war veterans with
specific injuries has been deeper than
was originally intended. The regulation
and schedules in this respect viii, there
fore, be reviewed so as to effect more
equitable levels of payment. Careful
study also will be made of the other
regulations and their effects.
BY reason Of the burden incident to
rerating and in order that undue hard
ship will not be imposed upon veterans
in their application for adjudication of
their cases, regional offices of the Vet
erans' Administration VIII not be closed
as has been reported, except where it
has been clearly demonstrated that re-
gional facilities are not necessary
It is not contemplated that Govern
ment hospitals viii be closed pending
a careful, studious survey of the entire
hospital situation. This, Of necessity,
viii require considerable time
These conclusions are in line with the
Presidents original statement that the
regulations and schedules would be
drafted so as TO effect the most humane
possible treatment of veterans truly dis
abled in war service

H0PEFOR BOOM
BARGAIN TAXES
County Officials Expect Boom
in July and August Tax
Payments.

Officials of st. Louis county are
hoping for substantial payments of
taxes on two unusual dates this year
They are July l and August "A. Those
are the dates set by the legislature last
winter for the opening Of bargain sales
of tax-delinquent land
Lands which have been delinquent
since 1922 viii be offered Aug. "A to
Dec. 81 at 20 per cent Of the total taxes
up to and including those of 1881 No
penalty, interest or costs will be added
The auditor will add up the face of the
original taxes for the nine years, divide
the sum by five and accept bids for not
less than that amount. The purchaser
viii then owe the 1892 taxes in full.
As the law is interpreted at present,
the buyer of these tax certificates may
serve notice on the original owner, by
publication If he cannot be found on the
land, and so days after the completion
of the notice. may get deed for the
property, unless the owner redeems.
The owner may pay up on the same
terms, getting receipt in full
IF the taxes are delinquent only since
1923, the bidder must pay one-third of
the delinquent taxes; if delinquent only
since 1925, one-half the taxes.
According TO I. G. Wollan, deputy
county auditor, there are thousands of
tracts in the county, in cities and vii
lagos and in the country that are sub
ject to these provisions. Had the sale
been held earlier, know of sales to the
amount of $4,000 or $4,000 that would
have been made" Mr.. Wollan said.
Whether as much land will be sold in
August do not know"
Beginning the first Of July all taxes
assessed for 1926 and succeeding years
may be settled by the owner or a pur-
chaser of tax certificates for so per
cent of the original amounts; those of
1927 and after at so per cent; and
those of 1929 and 1890 at 80 per cent.
These settlements may include ditch
assessments on farm lands and i'm
provement assessments on city property
unless the county commissioners or city
or village councils file protests. None
ever have been filed in st. Louis county
as TO previous similar settlements.
There are about $3.50 parcels of
real estate that will come under the
provisions of this law in this county.
The law applies to other counties as
well.
Under the law as it now stands, on
taxes of 1926 and succeeding years, the
buyer of certificates will not be able to
get tax deed before 1886. The five
year moratorium given by the 1927
legislature was extended two years by
the 1888 session, and, on these latter
taxes, the owner has year in which to
redeem after he is served with notice
of the sale of the certificates.
