Federal Housing
Aids Authorities
In Flood Areas
Field Representatives Placed At
Disposal OF Local
Officials

Every facility of the Federal Hous-
ing Administration was ordered placed
at the disposal of the local authorities
of the stricken flood areas, today by
Henry w. Webb, State Director of the
FILA. Mr.. Webb offered the services
of Field Representatives to assist in
the work of rehabilitation of the dam
aged properties.
Under the provisions of the Nation
al Housing Act, it is possible to Dor
row from 500 to $4,000 for the pur-
pose of modernization and repair Of
residential and business property.
The funds are loaned by banks, build
ing and loan associations, and other
approved lending agencies. The FILA
insures the loans against probable loss
in the event of default. Another pro-
vision of the Act provides for the in
surfing of mortgages on residential
up to 800 of the appraised
value of the property. These loans
are repaid in equal monthly install
ments.
The Modernization Credit Loans
are made on character basis and the
original Act limits the time for the
acceptance Of such loans for insur.
ance to March 81, 1886. Individuals in
the stricken area have been advised to
make application for their loans az
soon as possible before the Mpiration
date.
Every indication u that the Mod
ernization Credit Plan of the Federal
Housing Administration will be ex-
tended to December 81, 1885," Mr..
Webb said. However, it will be neces-
sary for Congress to act before this
extension will be possible. A bill has
been introduced for an extersisn Of
the Title / phase Of the National
Housing Act, and undoubtedly it will
be passed"
Millions of dollars of determination
Credit Loans have been accepted for
insurance throughout the United
States by the Federal Housing Adj
ministration.
Such items as repainting, papering,
remodeling, and the installation Of
modern equipment are eligible for
financing through the plan. Flood
waters have undoubtedly damaged
thousands of dollars worth of such
items and the FILA plan should be Of
invaluable assistance to individuals.

AS WE SEE 1T
Ba MoNTco

THE APPOINTMENT OF Albert
NJ. Bouic as attorney to the Board
Of Commissioners is a load off the
minds of many taxpayers in Mont
eomery County. Mr.. Bouic is general
" recognized as stickler for details
and his connection with the county
government means another step to-
ward protection as far as modern
business and legal methods are con-
cerned. Mr.. Bouic, although identified
with the Fusion party, still remains
a Democrat and had he been treated
with the courtesy he deserves he
would perhaps never have stepped
over the traces" That disposes of any
Democratic organization charge
against his political irregularity. For
that matter Mr.. Bouic is the type of
man who will discharge his duty re-
CARELESS of any political connection.
The administration of county affairs
is definitely looking up. The Commits
sioners are to be congratulated on
their choice.

Farm Organization
Shows New Growth
AS Never Before
Importance Of Cooperative Eff
fort Is Recognized, Says
State Leader

Farmers of all parts of the country
are working together for the interests
of their industry as never before in
the opinion of C. E. Wise, Jr., secre-
tary of the Maryland Farm Bureau
Federation. The situations that have
been faced by agriculture in the past
three to five years have indicated the
necessity of farmers working togeth-
er and they have taken advantage OF
the opportunity.
"Even if no other benefit had come
from the AAA program, hundreds of
thousands of farmers learned that it
was to their advantage to work with
their neighbors on common problems, u
says MIR. Wise. "The fact that indivd-
ual farmers WORKED with their COM
mitteemen in the administration of
agriculture's first national program
has shown farmers the power of
group action for the improvement of
farming. The new soils conservation
act is going to require the continuance
of the same type of cooperative action
to be effective"
Maryland farmers have kept pace
with the general advance of organized
effort in the country, Mr.. Wise be-
lieves. Cooperative marketing and
purchasing agencies of the state are
in stronger position than ever before,
and more farmers are working with
them, he says.
eve are expecting an increase of
from third to a half in farm bureau
membership in Maryland this year,
Esays. the Federation secretary. "Farm-
ers of 10 of the % counties of the
state had organizations at the begin
ming of the year. In Somerset
county farmers have already arrang-
ed for the establishment of such an
Organization within the next month,
and preliminary organization has
been formed in Calvert county, bring
ing the number up to 90"

One per cent automobile titling tax,
100000.
Twenty per cent increase in State
excise liquor tax, 100000.
Fifty cents per barrel beer tax,
$550,000.
This makes an estimated total of
100000. In addition, another bill
is proposed to re-allocate 100000
collections from Inheritance taxes to
ralief and old-age pensions, making a
total revenue program of $5,00O,0O0.

measure creating police justice for
Takoma Park and another authorizing
the State Roads Commission to re-

In a surprise move and in defiance
of the State Senate, The Ways and
Means Committee Of the House OF
Delegates last night voted to shelve
the proposed 100000 tax program
of the Senate and substituted relief
revenue measure designed to bring
into the State Golfers approximately
$5,000,0O0.
Because Of the contemplated opposi-
ton to the new plan on the floor, an
adjournment was unanswered until
today when the favorable report will
be brought up with in all probability
a hard fight facing the committee pro-
posal. An indication of the coming
struggle was seen in the fact that adj
journment was accomplished only by
a two-vote margin.
The new revenue program adopted
by the committee includes:
Continuation Of the existing 1 per
cent gross receipts tax to April 30,
which is expected to bring in 1926, 900.
Three-fourths of / per cent gross
receipts tax for II months follow
ing April, with the first 81 900 month
" business exempted, $2,0OO,0O0.
One per cent on commercial cleo
trio, gas, steam sales, and on tele-
phones, kilograms and admissions,

WHENEVER ONE FINDS a COM
munity or State confronted with a
real calamity how easily its differ
ences are dissolved In the light of
mutual sympathy ana understanding
Montgomery County went over the
top in a day or so when called upon By
the Red Cross for FUNDS and clothing
to aid the unfortunates driven from
their homes when a record breaking
flood cast its destruction over the
many acres bordering the Potomac
and Seneca rivers. An outstanding ex-
ample of what citizens will do when
a concrete instance of real suffering
arises! There has been lot of doubt
about certain families needing aid in
this county under normal relief con-
dltlons. There is no question about
need when we see and hear with our
own eyes and ears.
FRANK R. KENT had drawn the
nre OF certain Democrats. Without
trying to detract from the widespread
political knowledge and economic
theories of Mr.. Kent, the Maryland
democrats, particularly the old-time
democrats and the Young Democratic
Clubs, have ceased to consider Mr.
Aent when speaking of Democratic
ngures in Maryland. Mr.. Kent has
never entirely recovered from the late
disaster attending Mr.. Herbert Hoov.

ments which have no actual voice il
