COUNTY READY
TO PAY DEBT
ON ROADS

ROCKVILLE, Jan. ga solu-
ton of a method of payment of
Montgomery countys debt to the
Maryland State Roads Commits
sion, will in all probability be
worked out today, during con-
ference betw zen State roads Of
ficials and representatives of the
local Board Of County Commits
Sioners, in Baltimore, Md.
Since being notified by DR..
Homer E. Tabler, chairman of the
State Roads Commission, some
time ago that further extension
of credit for maintenance of
county roads and for debt retire
ment would be halted until the &C.
count showed a credit balance.
members of the county board have
probed various methods of raising
funds and maintaining roads in
an effort to find satisfactory Solu-
ton to their problem.
Not in the Budget
Faced with the problem of rails.
ing funds to pay off their in.
debtedneSs or maintain their own
roads, when no provisions for
either had been made in the an.
nual budget adopted last July. has
proved quite a task, county Of.
ficials openly admit.
The county'S account, according
to the State roads figures, at the
present shows a debit balance of
approximately $4,000. Nearly as
much as all of the other lin the
red" counties of the State put to-
gether.
When they requested an item.
lied statement of their account to
enable them to check and find out
where the over-expenditures were
made, county officials were fur.
nished with a statement which
contained one item for sos, 900
listed as lover expenditures on
various items over a period from
1925 until 1928"
Item Battles
Since the gasoline road tax
fund, which is the one allegedly
overdrawn, did not go into effect
until 1881, county officials can,
not understand how or why an
item of this amount could be
charged against them. And be,
fore they make any settlement
this will have to be explained to
their satisfaction, they declared
here today.
When Commissioner Paul M.
Coughlan and Edward Peter,
counsel to the board, meet with
members of the State Roads Com.
mission in Baltimore today, they
will first ask an explanation Of
this item, and then attempt to
work out some satisfactory method
of paying the account and main
tanning the roads at the same
time.
Mr.. Peter said last night the
most logical way of ironing out
the whole thing as he could see,
was to ask the State Roads Com
mission to retain the county's
share of the lateral gas tax fund,
amounting to approximately $780,,
900 annually, until the account is
in shape. and in the meantime the
county raise additional funds
through sale of county bonds or
certificates of Indebtedness to
maintain lateral county roads.

COUNTY PLANS
REASSESSING
BY APRIL |

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE,
Va, Jan. 28.-ReaSsesSment Of all
real estate property throughout
Arlington county is expected to be
started here not later than April
/. it was learned today from an
authoritative source. 1t was es-
timated that about nine months
would be required to complete the
task, thus putting the new assess
ments into effect on the 1887 tax
bills.
Passage of special legislation
permitting the county to make the
assessment this year was today
considered certain, as it was
learned that a bill to this effect
was out of the committee Of the
assembly and had passed the first
reading on the floor.
Every Four Years
Approval of the new assessment
and a desire to exercise such
authority has already been ex-
pressed by the County Board Of
Commissioners.
Passage of the bill will provide
for a mandatory assessment every
four years, beginning 1910, and
also carries a special provision
making it optional with the county
authorities this year.
10 c
of revenue of Arlington county,
who instituted the move for a new
assessment Immediately, said in an
annual report from his office:
Equalization is the essence
of good taxation. A recent
study Of assessed valuations in
Arlington county, made from
actual sales recorded in the
clerks office, show that many
inequalities exist. There has not
been a general reaSSessment of
real estate in Arlington county
since 1925. Conditions since
then have changed to such an
extent that some real estate is
assessed as low as 10 per cent
Of its market value. while other
assessments are almost 100 per
cent"
READY FOR THE JOB
Following passage in the assem-
bly,, after two more readings, the
bill must be signed by the gov
ernor and then all will e in readi-
ness for the county to begin. Ap-
pointment of several men to make
the assessments will be made by
Judge Walter T. Mccarthy, of the
Arlington County Circuit Court.
In preparation for the new as
seSSmenS, Mr.. Green said that he
would recommend to the county
board the appointment of an en-
gineer and a contractor to make a
preliminary survey to assist the
assessors.
The engineer would reduce the
various parcels of land to its &C
tual square feet, while the con.
tractor would estimate the cost of
replacing all buildings on the
property, as we'll as estimate the
depreciation involved in each
building.
Whether or not outside men will
be brought in to make the assess
ments is left with the county board
of commissioners. The usual pro-
cedure. however, is to have land
owners living in the county to do
the work.
With the total real estate valu-
alton in the county now estimated
to be approximately $22,000,000, a
new assessment is expected to
considerably increase this figure,
as most of the inequalities are be-
lieved to exist to a disadvantage
to the county.

POLI'S

A great double feature program made up of Victor McIiaglen and Freddie Bartholomew in "Profession- al Soldier" and Wallace Ford, Alan Hale and Phyliss Brooks in "An- other Face" Is now current ct Polls and will continue through tomorrow night.
 Tonight Is the regular weekly "screeno" party. the event that all Waterbury looks forward to, and which gives Q load of fun, thrills and entertainment to everyone in the theatcr.
 Whole lodges have attended this feature in c body and weekly there Is e request for Q great number of seats from societies and others who want to get in on the fun that Is part of this program, and remember that there is no advance in price for this triple feature tonight,
 Saturday Poll brings another pro- gram that features as the first cin- ema treat that will no doubt be ranked very high among the lead- ing pictures of 1886. Manager Ed. Fitzpatrick wants to 90 on record, after seeing 0 preview of "The Pris- toner of Shark Island" in stating that here is one Of the best pictures that he has ever seen.
 Quick death on the gallows would have been mercy for him. He lived to die Q thousand timesl
 Revealing for the first time in all It's vivid horror and brutality the shocking story of @ nations hidden shame, "The Prisoner of Shark Island," comes as the first feature of the Poll Saturday to Tuesday double feature screen program.
 It's hero is a gaunt figure who looms up out of the pages of Amer ican history, Dr. Samuel Alexander Mudd--martyred by nations fren- zy for his innocent deed of mercy.
 With Warner Baxter starred in the leading role, the picture tells the story of this gentle Maryland physician who was trapped with Lincoln's murderers, and who spent years in 8 living hell for Q crime he never had committed.
 Grim, fever-ridden Fort Jefferson, the massive American fortess on a Carribean island, is the scene of this powerful drama of mans in- humanity to man. Gloria Stuart, Arthur Byron, o. P. Heggie and Claude Gillingwater are seen in the principal supporting roles.

STRAND

The story of @ modern girl with & super charged temper who meets and loves man who prefers fight ing to eating. that's "The Bride Comes Home" starring Claud- cite Colbert with Fred MacMurray and Robert Young which heads the new show at Warmers Strand the- ater today, tomorrow and Saturday.
 It is a thoroughly amusing story, skillfully presented, and possesses a definite appeal for all married couples. The spectacle of a young woman and 8 young man who dis- agree on everything from spinach to to1thbrushes. but manage in their impetuous way to work out their heavy problem, would be dif- ficult to present without being en- tertaining.
 Yet "The Bride Comes Home" Is more than that. The picture could not have been better cast. Lovely Miss Colbert is superb as the so- ciety girl whose father has lost all his money and who decides to go to work, while MacMurray is grand as the hard-boiled. two-fisted newspa- perman who turns magazine editor and finds Miss Colbert working as his assistant.
 The companion feature is "Mil- lions In the Air" big musical comedy filled with all the laughs. roc nance, excitement and heartbreaks of the nations amateur hours. John Howard, Wendy Barrie. Willie How ard, Benny Baker and Eleanor Whit ney head the cast. Sunday brings Ronald Colman in "A Tale of Two Cities" also "The Lone Wolf Re- turns" with Melvyn Douglas and Gail Patrick.
