REMOVAL ASKED

Property Owners.
Special DiJpatch to The btar.

Special Di.patch to The star.
BALTIMORE, February f6.-Enact-
ment by the present Legislature Of q
bill gradually eliminating the State
tax on real estate In Maryland and
prohibiting any future real estate
levy for new bonds Is being advocated
by the Real Estate Board Of Baltimore
The bill would eliminate the State
real estate tax levy as rapidly al
outstanding State bonds are paid OF.
according to G. Phillip Pitt, secretary
Of the board.
THE reason the board Is advocating
gradual rather than immediate elimi-
nation is because It's legal advisers
are not certain that such immediate
elimination would not be in conflict
with the constitutional prohibition
against repeating any tax levy made
to service the State debt" Mr.. Pitt
said.
"All Of the present 22-cent State
levy is allocated to debt service, and
with . probable net shrinkage in the
basis and increase in the amount re-
quired for this purpose next year, 1t
apparently will be necessary to in
crease this levy unless other revenues
may be substituted
1T appears that the emergency now
confronting our lawmakers at An
napolis may force the opening of some
new sources Of revenue, and, in that
event. unless some measure Is adopted
to relieve real estate, the property
owners, instead Of obtaining much
needed relief, will simply be bur-
dened with q new and additional tax.
1T is for this reason that real
estate owners, already heavily over
burdened with taxes. should be alert
to demand that they receive fair
consideration in any new tax program
which may be adopted"

Power Co. Building at Tenth and e

Almost every type Of equipment
available for conditioning the

The show will last five weeks. It
provides a perfect opportunity for
those interested in intalling air.
conditioning equipment to compare
the products manufactured by leading
concerns throughout the country.
A number Of models are actually in
operation and clearly illustrate the
various functions which they perform.
One machine has cut-away cabinet
so that the compressor, cooling coils,
and fan can be seen as the air Is be-
ing cooled and blown out into the

Various types of unit conditioners
are represented. including hoor

method is one the cheapest satisfac-
tory systems Of obtaining Summer
comfort in the average home.
All-Year Function.
The display as a whole is stressing
the fact that air conditioning should
not be limited only to Summer COM
fort, but should embrace all six Of
the important functions Of heating,
cooling, circulating, f1ltering, humid
flying and dehumidifying.
Among the thousands of owners
that are moderniZing their homes
under the plans of the Federal Hous-
ing Administration there are many
who want to install air-conditioning
equipment, new heating plants and
little conveniences that heretofore
have not been available.
This is an ideal time to install
forced circulation blowers on warm
air heating plants, or possibly equip
present heating systems with modern
controls that will relieve much of the
drudgery Of operating furnace.
Radiators that have been made
quate and have made it impossible
to use rooms in very cold weather
should be replaced with larger ones
and defective valves, traps on air
vents repaired or renewed.
Humidification Easy.
Humidification equipment can be
installed in q number Of convenient
ways. There are small units that can
be placed in the basement, connected
to the boiler, water line and electric
supply, that will blow moistened air
through the entire house. Units can
be placed in the smoke preaching that
will make use of heat that would
otherwise pass up the chimney. They
are equipped with humidifiers also and
