EASEMENTS
IN ARLINGTON
SHOW GAIN

ARLINGTON COURTHOUSE
Va, Sept. Assessed valuations
of real estate and personal pro-
perty in Arlington county for 1885
show an increase of more than
$2,500,000 over the valuations for
1885, according to a statement
made today by Commissioner Of
Revenue Harry K. Green.
Representing the largest in
crease in the history of the county,
the increase shown in the past
year was $2,613,140.
Real estate values for 1885 were
$21,739,200, as compared with a
total of 23,734,640 for the current
year, is due to the heavy build
ing operations during the past
year in which 803 new buildings
were erected,
Property Rises
Tangible personal property for
1885 was assessed at $2,704, 900,
and this figure for 1885 jumped
to $3,277, $40.
Valuations set on machinery
and tools for 1886 were $287,700
and rose to 1891, $3.50 for 1886.
Total tax assessed on tangible
personal property, machinery and
tools, and real estate, for the
year 1886 is in the sum of $685.
$1,000, which represents an in
crease in the county's collections
for 1896 of $74,702.03 in taxes
over those collected in 1885.
. Assessment on public service
corporations has not yet been
completed, but this is expected to
remain about the same is it was
in 1885, which was $1,707,6 52.
S2.7O Rate Holds
Arlington county'S rate of tax
alton is $2.70 on the 500 valua-
ton, the same as was laid in
1885, with the exception of East
Falls Church, where the rate is
now the same as Arlington
county proper, due to the fact
that the part of East Falls
Church heretofore under a town
charter is now wholly under
county government.
A new assessment Of ali prop
critics in Arlington county, now
being made, will not be reflected
in the tax bills until 1887.

COUNTY CLINIC
OFFERS HELP
T0CHILDREN

Possibility Of complete or partial
recovery from Affections they
have suffered for several years,
is now offered to many crippled
children of Montgomery county
through the medium of free
orthopedic clinics.
The second in a series of these
free clinics was held at the Mont
gomery County hospital here last
week, when more than 80 patients
were given examinations and had
treatments and necessary appli-
anceS prescribed for them.
Two cases brought to the atten-
ton of DR.. johnson here last week
were those of Richard Trent, aged
8, of Brentwood, Md, and Betty
Marie Howes, age 4, of Sandy
Spring, Md. Both victims of in
fantile paralysis, which Richard
contracted at the age of 5 and
Betty Marie at 2 years of age.
Braces will Go
Richard, in addition to leg
braces, is forced to wear a spinal
brace, while Betty Marie is handi-
capped with a weakened spine
which necesSitates a corset brace.
Both of these cases are very ia
vorable to treatemnt, DR.. johnson
said. The present treatment, he
said, is being administered with
the belief that the nerves and
muscles afflicted are not dead,
and that proper care and assist
ance will strengthen and restore
them to their natural stages. This
treatment, he said, will in all
probabilities restore to good health
in time those affected members.
In other cases, some of which
have been brought to light dur
ing the the two clinics held in
the county, the nerves and mus
cles are dead. The only thing to
do in cases Of this kind, accord
ing to DR.. johnson, is to apply
the necessary braces to the help
less members and in this manner
strengthen them until they will
support weight and pressure.
Conducts Program
In addition to the medical
clinics the Maryland League for
Crippled Children, now in its
tenth year, conducts an educa-
tional and vocational program
for their patients. Private con.
tributions together with some
small State aid supports this com.
mendable enterprise, DR.. johnson
said.
The Legion Council in addition
to serving as sponsor for the clinic
program will furnish tranporta-
ton for those patients unable to
provide for themselves, and will
endeavor to pay for treatments
and braces for those unable to do
so for themselves.
OF the IS children examined at
the first clinic last April, "a were
under 16 years of age. Seven
X-rays were taken and 18 were
placed under observation. Special
equipment has been or is being
purchased for IA of these children.
The result of last weeks clinic will
not be announced for several days.

Conference Urges Aid to

Low Incomes.

President Roosevelt and members OF
Congress today received resolution
urging establishment of a permanent
Federal housing agency and appro-
priation of money to enable the agency
to assist State and local organizations
to engage in low-rent housing projects
for the low-income groups.
The resolution was adopted yester-
day at the closing session of the three
day convention Of the National Public
Housing Conference 1t also sought
separation Of agencies dealing with
public and private housing because
"the great need for public low-rent
housing for millions of families, who
cannot possibly be served by private
enterprise must not be confused by
private enterprise to build homes for
those other families who can afford
to purchase them"
NJ H. Hedges, director of research
of the international Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers. drew for the con-
ference delegates this picture of the
living conditions of persons forced TO
dwell in privately financed, low-rent
residences:
You will see novels, slums, tene-
ments, fire traps-habitation not fit
for animals-and you will return to
your own cozy f1reside feeling that
American civilization has been some
what overrated."
