Raise Designed
To Overcome
Deficits
Congressional Action
Needed on Budget
Before July !
BY JOHN DEAN MILLIGAN
Real Estate Editor

Odds are even that the District
Of Columbia real property tax
may be raised 80 per cent within
20 days.
The prospect has arisen because
Congress seems to be progressing
nowhere rapidly in its effort to
agree upon new levies to balance
the expected deficit Of $500, coo
In the local budget for the next
fiscal year.
If such proposals as q 2 per
cent sales tax, an automobile
weight tax and other levies are
Waylaid during the present session
on Capitol Hill, the Board Of Gem
misSioners will have but one alter.
native. And that is to increase
the real property tax, a procedure
for which they have permanent
authorization.
Some Hope Left
At the moment the realty rate
Is $3.50 per 500. II it is to be
increased in an effort to meet
the $7,5o0,00 deficit, at least So
100000 would be procured by
jumping the rate to 81 per 500.
This represents rise OF 80 per
cent.
Facing this dilemma, Washing
ton real estate men and property
owners have a modicum Of hope in
the possibility that other levies
may be placed on the books by the
House and the Senate. But all
suggested new taxes have met op-
position, including 1-cent boost
in the gasoline tax, an inheritance
tax, and an increase in the inSur.
ance tax.
Mean while, Senator Elmer
Thomas CD of Oklahoma, chair
man of the Senate subcommittee
on District appropriations, main
tains he will forego reporting the
local budget to the Senate until
ways and means of raising the
necessary extra cash are provided.
July Deadline
Add to this the facts that Con-
gress may disagree on new taxes
and that the District Commits
sioners are willing to enlarge the
real property tax as a last resort"
Then it becomes apparent that the
rate may be raised in a Garrison
finish to provide the city with Suf-
ficient working funds before the
next fiscal year begins on July /.
Hence, there seems to be a rea:
sonable motive behind the plans Of
the real estate editor to stage q
watch night" party next June 80.
He declares he wants to watch
the fiscal year out" since it is far
more important to Washing
tonians than the calendar year.

Brown Recommended

In decorating a bedroom which
has plenty Of light, brown, a light
coffee color. cinnamon, or medium
brown may be effectively used. In
suburban homes some bedrooms
with windows on two or three sides
have too much light for a restful
effect, and brown tends to tone
down the light. Brown walls are
good also in room finished in the
natural shade of the wood, Gre
ating a sense of harmony.

FILA Receives Letters
Inquiring About
EASY Terms"

Increasing interest in the uues-
ton of small homes that can be
built at low cost is indicated by the
volume Of correspondence received
at the offices Of the Federal Hous-
ing Administration.
An analysis Of a group Of repre-
sentative letters shows queries
from all sections Of the country
on the various phases Of home H.
nancing and home construction.
The major portion Of these ques-
lions deals with the problems Of
financing. Families heretofore un-
able to afford a home Of their own
are finding that the insured mort

ing Administration permits them
to achieve this desire without too
much strain on the family budget.
Advice Sought
Good building practice Is also q
question raised in this volume Of
correspondence. Because Of strict
regulations regarding construc-
ton requirements when q home is
financed by an insured mortgage,
homeowners frequently ask advice
Of the FILA on methods Of build.

Architecture Important

Modern decorators are no longer
content to merely furnish" a
room but give strict attention to
its architectural features. This
should be kept in mind when
building a new home and the
house planned to form the proper
background for the type Of deco
ration which the owner has

Dining Room Placement

Tbs ideal location for the dining
room, or, where there is one, the
breakfast room, is on the southeast
corner. This gives sunlight for
breakfast and luncheon; and. as
dinner is usually eaten under
artificial light, Q western location
is not necessary. That Is best
reserved for some other room that
needs it.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1937-05-22
CHOOSING CoLORS

Now that freShenlng up the
whole house is in order, bit Of
thought given to proper colors for
inside wallS-whethe they are to
be covered with wallpaper, paint
or another material-will give div
idends in cheerfulnesS during the
summer and winter.
If a room is small, light tones
are preferable. They give an air
of SpaciouSneSS, especially if dull.
Glaring or dark shades make a
room seem compressed and small.
Dull tintS of blue or green are
best in a room boasting a great
deal of sunlight. The brightness
Of the sun is offset but none Of its
Illuminating powers are lost.
Besides these practical reasons
for choosing light colorS, there is
the matter of good taste. Gone are
the days when a parlor was a
dreary place, with dark brown
walls, no sunlight and a conch
shell on the what-not. Today's
home is CHEEKY, inviting-with

One exception to the rule against
fancy colors" is a child'S play
room. Make the shades as bright
as you like. They are easier for
children to recognize and stamp
the room as their own.

Ornburn, secretary treasurer of the
Union Label Trades Department,
American Federation of Labor, has
sent to labor throughout the nation
a statement on the recognition of the
label of two unions. The statement
says:
"On January 6, 1887, the Union
Label Trades Department made pub
lie the contents of resolution
adopted by unanimous vote of the
delegates in attendance at the Depart
ment's convention, in November, 1886,
at Tampa, Fla. The resolution dealt
with the label issued by the Amalga-
mated Lithographers, or the Litho-
graphers International Protective and
Beneficial Association of the United
States and Canada, and was signed by
all of the delegates representing the
printing trades unions affiliated to the
international Allied Printing Trades
Association The resolution set forth
the fact that the Lithographers' label
was not recognized by the American
Federation of Labor, the Union Label
Trades Department Of the American
Federation of Labor, or the Interna-
tional Allied Printing Trades Associ-
alton. There has been no change to
date in the status Of this label.
in giving publicity to the resolu-
tion we overlooked informing all in
terested parties that in addition to
the international Allied Printing
Trades Association label there is an
other union label represented in the
printing industry that is recognized
by both the American Federation Of
Labor and the Union Label Trades
Department; that is, the union label
of the Plate Printers and Die Stamp
ers and Engravers' Union of North
America is affiliated to the Union
