owners property but seem to have
no effect whatever on the value
for tax purposes.
Primarily the group will COM
pile a list of the improvements
that have been destroyed in the
past few years to make way for
parking lots.
A graphic example of the ex-
tent of this activity is seen in a
neighboring city. The owner of
a one-time valuable hotel prop
erty found that zoning regulations
and the trend of the city's de-
velopment had placed his prop
erty in a location where it no
longer earned sufficient to pay
for taxes and maintenance, to
say nothing of a fair return on
his investment.
Unsuccessful in his efforts to OBJ
tain a reduction in his t.XeS, ne
sold the improvements to a sal
wage concern and rented the
ground to a parking lot conces-
Sionaire.
His own income from the
property was trebled-his taxes
were reduced to a nominal sum,
but the city, by failing to meet
him halfway in the first instance
when his original income from
the property was diminished, lost
heavily in revenue from that
particular piece of property.
There are probably a hundred
such instances in the District,
and the Washingtonians are 60
ing to get the actual figures.

still legally dry. The charge is in effect immediately.
 Mailing of newspapers contain. ing liquor advertisements into dry states had been forbidden by postal authorities since the early days of prohibition. The offense was pun ishable by fine, imprisonment, and the loss of mailing privileges.
 Shortly after the advent of re- peal, special postal bulletin was sent to uostmasters informing them that the regulation was still in eff feet and that the sending of liquor advertisements into districts still under prohibition was specifically forbidden. A query as to whether the mailing was justified if the ad- vertisement contained the line, Not to be considered as an ad- vertisement for the sale of liquor in places where such sale is for- bidden", was answered with the reply that such a line made no difference, and the publishers were liable to penalty.
 The cancellation of the old rule was voted by congress early this session, but has just become eff fective In the postal service reg ulations.
 Regulation sos, as the old rule was known, could have been the source of great confusion in this state, since towns have the right of local option. Should a town have voted to forbid the sale of liquor, 1t would have been illegal to mali newspapers having liquor adver- tisements into that territory.

CWAPLAN HELPED
 PUBLIC CARRIERS
Trolley Cars and Busses Doing Rushing Business
 All Over City

It would be difficult to think of anybody who has not profited to some extent by the CWA plan of employment. Even the Connecticut Co is reaping a rich harvest in the increased numbers of passengers during the early morning hours and at quitting time. Until this new order went into effect one found no trouble in getting a seat in the public carriers. It is different now. In fact on some of the trips men are standing so close together that it is quite an effort to get out pro- vided you are in the rear of the trolley or bus.
 But at that everything goes along nicely. People who felt lonesome in the cars when few were riding, take the crowding good naturedly and appear quite pleased over the turn things have taken.

the disease is spreading in the east. In order to protect Conencticut elms sharp vigilance on the part of all people who have the opportunity to observe trees closely will be necessary.
 This disease was, it has been proven conclusively, brought in on elm logs imported by various ve- neer factories and in many cases seems to have been transmitted from the veneer logs to our native. elms by the elm bark beetle.
 One of the best methods yet de-. vised for combating the disease is tree sanitation, that is keeping trees free from dead wood, dead bark areas and generally in q healthy trees. Therefore, MT Keith suggests the exercise of utmost care in pruning of elms. Every dead limb, even the size of a pencil, he says, should be removed back to live wood and the dead bark area cleaned, traced back to live wood and painted; the resultant brush and dead bark, should be burned.

Stock Market Head
Backs Mcleod Bill

PITTSBURGH, April 10 (U.SO,
Enthusiastic support of the Nc
Leod bill, passage of which would
result in the payment of all de
positors in closed Federal Reserve
member banks in full, was voiced
today by A. l.. Rinham, secretary
of the Pittsburgh Stock Exchange
Mr.. Rinham declared that
the bill would have immediate ef'
feet of greatly expanding pur.
chasing power. In addition it
would solve the monetary troubles
of many city and county govern
ments. He said:
MANY real estate owners
have not been able to pay their
taxes because all their funds
are tied up in either restricted
or entirely closed banks.
"The liberation of this money
would permit the real estate
owners to avoid the loss of their
properties and also would per-
init cities and counties to col
lect their taxes. This would
result in the automOtic balanc.
ing Of most municipal budgets.
81 think that the bill should
receive enthusiastic support
from every one"
