to rid the state of criminals than it
is cases of diphtheria. 1t would cost
more in one day to maintain large
force of policemen or soldiers than
it would to immunize every child in
Indiana.
"Immunization against diphtheria
is one of the most effective measures
known to medical science. 1t very
rarely costs moments discomfort
to the child and at the most,
causes only a moderately swollen
and infiamed arm for day or so.
The immunity produced is usual
ly permanent. 1t will protect the
child for the rest of his life. The
expense and trouble involved are
very little in comparison to the
possible saving of a life.
Last year if the deaths had been
evenly distributed throughout the
tweleve months, one might have
gone to a diphtheria funeral every
other day for the entire year. This
fact shows clearly that diphtheria
is by no means as nearly eradicated

NEED OF FARM HOUSE
REPAIRS IS SHOWN
Agricultural Survey Discloses
$500, 900, 900 Could Be
Used.
SOUND ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNING A

A bird's-eye view Of the farm hous-
ing situation, as disclosed in the re-
cent housing survey made by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture in 352 counties in 46 States,
was given to members of the Ameri-
can Society Of Agricultural Engineers
at its recent meeting in Detroit by
Wallace Ashby of the Bureau of Agri-
cultural Engineering.
OF the six and a quarter million
farm houses in the country, probably
about so per cent are in fairly good
structural condition, AShby stated.
About Is per cent of farm houses
need complete requirements of foun-
dations, between Is and 20 per cent
need replacement of roofs, 10 to Is
per cent need new floors and about
10 per cent .need repairs or replace
ments of exterior walls.
Between these extremes of houses
in good condition and those needing
complete replacements of some parts,
are large group needing repairs of
some kind, including much interior
ref1nishing," Ashby stated.
lie eSJlIudLeQ COSI Ol repairs anu
alterations to put farm houses in
good livable conditions, based on
the reports of the survey, would
amount to about three and one-half
billions of dollars, or an average Of
about s575 per house, but this is
several times the amount farmers
feel they can spend at present.
In the last three years they spent
an average of SIS per house on re-
pairs and contemplate spending dur
ing 1884 about $25 per house. which
is about per cent of the estimated
amount needed for desirable recondi-
tioning.
Only about 20 per cent Of the total
OF 100000 farmers interviewed we're
interested in borrowing for farm house
improvements, even on their own
terms. The estimated amount of
borrowing desired was less than $500
per farmer. or less than S100 per
farm if based on all farms.

BOILER FLUES SAVED
BY CRANK CASE OIL
Method of Defeating Rust in
Summer Suggested by Plumbing
and Heating Bureau.

The use Of automobile crankcase
oil on boiler fiues to keep them from
ruSting during the Summer months
Is suggested by the Plumbing and
Heating Industries Bureau.
1t is pointed out that there is
close analogy between a good boiler
and a good rifle. Neither a boiler
nor a rife are ordinarily harmed by
use. 1t is the failure to keep them
clean which is generally responsible
for deterioration.
The action of basement moisture
on SCOT produces a mild sulphuric
acid which, during the Summer
months, is likely to result in corrosive
action on all parts of the boiler which
come in contact with hot gases.
The proper procedure for the
home owner is to clean the boiler
f1ues, the fire box and the inside Of
the doors at the close of the heating
season. All doors should be left open.
The smoke pipe should be cleaned
and the accumulation of SCOT at the
chimney base should be removed.

The legislation passed by the Seventy

though no specific law was enacted
to such purpose, according to Frank
Simon, veteran real estate broker.
1t would scarcely be an exaggera-
ton to say that recent events, taken
collectively, constitute virtually guar
antee of realty values in the District
for some years to come, he adds.
While some direct relief was given
the property owner in the continua-
ton of lowered tax rate and the
reduction of sewer and water main
assessments, it is upon other develop

the realty market along materially
higher levels is predicated," says Mr..
Simon.

BY STAFF Correspondent OF The Star.
BETHESDA, Nd, July 7.-Statis-
tics compiled by County Building In
spector J. Fred Imirie disclosed to-
day that building construction in
Montgomery County during the first
six months of 1894 was approx
mately so per cent higher than
similar activity during the same
period last year.
Permits for construction totaling
$859,675 were issued by Imirie and
Assistant Building Inspector Martin
F. Iverson up to and including June
80 this year, while building activities
totaling S576, ,925 were coverd in per-
mits over the same period in 1888.
Imirie's figures showed that $485,-

APARTMENT Costs Since 1919
Compared in Recent Surrey
Engineering Ne,os Record Reveals Fire
proof Building of Today Costs No
More Than Semi-FireprOOf.

A comparison OF actual cost rec
ords for AZ apartment house buildings
erected from 1919 to 1881 with 2l
similar units proposed for 1884 con-
Struction shows that today fireproof
construction costs no more than the
semi-fireproof building of the pre-
vious IS years, according to data
compiled in the 1884 edition of Con-
struction Costs, published annually
by Engineering News Record. The
seventh edition of the annual is now
ready for distribution.
The publication reveals that
fireproof, elevator apartment of the
slum clearance type can be built now
for only slightly more than the semi
fireproof walk-up of 1919. The new
edition contains construction cost
data from 1910 to 1888 and original
basic data comparable for to go
years.
In one section Construction Costs
presents an analysis of building costs
for eight groups of buildings, the first
built in 1880 and the others in
1922, 1929, 1s23-24, 1929
and l933-34, respectively, with two
groups included in the last period.
For the 1890 period an analysis
Of 10 units Is presented. These units
consist of four-story semi-flreproof
walk-up apartments. In all they in
clude 64 apartments of four rooms,
81 of five rooms, Is of six rooms, and
total Of IA baths and 20 garages.
The average gross area per room is
237 square feet, and the total cubic
volume 2,l46.918 feet. For this type
of construction the cube foot cost was
38.1 cents. Similar construction,
equipped with elevators, cost SIT
cents per cube foot in the 1922
period.

In contrast, construction costs
shows. the estimated cost of construc-
ton Of 20 units, of six to eight floors
in height, fully f1reproofed and
equipped with elevators, proposed for
1933-34 construction. is only 40.6
cents per cubic foot for a total volume
of 8,44O,0 900 cube feet.
In the five years since 1929 build
ing cost has declined IA per cent, ac-
cording to results of repricing for

posite" ONCE building, obtained by
an analysis of construction costs Of
six class A "skyscraper" type office
buildings. such as are found in New
York, Chicago and the Midatlantic
section. Materials account for IS
per cent and labor for IS per cent Of
the decline.
To make certain that the estimates
of the cost of reproduction are in line
with actual current costs under pres
ent working conditions Construction
Costs editors say. figures were checked
with contractors now constructing
similar buildings. Cost changes over
the flve-year period show a total de-
cline of 1898 per cent. Of which 4yS7
per cent is from material cost reduc-
tions. and the balance, Oil per cent,
from field labor cost reductions. The

for the composite" building Is re-
duced to s0.653 for reproduction new

INCREASE IN TAXES
WILL RAISE RENTS
Higher Levies to Affect
Prices to Tenants, AS
sociation Says.

An increase in the real estate tax
burden as Maj. Daniel j. Donovan,
District auditor, has suggested may
occur in 1886, lis bound to be re-
flected in the rents paid by tenants
for houses, apartments and business
structures" according to statement
issued today by the Building Owners
and Managers Association.
The association, whose members
own approximately 40 to so million
dollars of apartment, ofice build
ing, hotel and business properties in
Washington, continued its statement
as follows:
Taxes are one of the principal
items of expense in the operation of
any piece of real property. 1t is also
cash item; it must be paid in full
when due or the owner suffers usuri-
Gus penalty since he is further taxed
at the rate of per cent a month on
his unpaid taxes
Tax Payments Big.
Each apartment renter may con-
servatively figure that at least 81
in every 10 that he pays in rent Is
in turn paid by the owner to help
operate the District. OF course, this
is not the only tax. In addition
there are personal and intangible
taxes and various inspection fees. In
addition to this there are Federal
taxes which help to boost the mount
ing tax burden. ONCE building ten
ants may count on 81 in seven Of
their money finding its way to the
Office of collector of taxes.
I'm the case of business properties
where no service is furnished prob
ably 20 ner cent of the rent, in many
instances it is considerably more than
this, goes for real estate taxes alone
Without having exact figures it Is not
exaggerating to say that when a man
buys a $50 suit of clothes from a
downtown store about 81. or 2 per cent
of the cost Of a suit, is for real estate
taxes.
Home Owners.
I'm the case of home owners,
roughly. IL or IS per cent OF the
rental value of the home is absorbed
by the tax collector.
1T is to be hoped that Dlstrlct OIL
ficials in making up the 1885 budget
will start with the premise that the
budget will be kept to such fgure
that it will come within the revenue
income of the District for the coming
year and that they will dismiss the
thought of any new taxes. and par
ticularly any increase in real and per-
sonal taxes"
