What distance away does an i'm
moral act become moral?" asked Hull.
Palmisano failed to answer that
question.
Palmisano then reopened a discus
sion of his ill-fated beer bill.
Representative Shafer, Republican,
of Michigan, who made the motion to
report Palmisano's bill favorably last
week, joined in the discussion and
declared: "If had to do it over again
I certainly would not make the motion
to report this bill out. I understood
the bill was designed to stop boot
Logging and cellar bottling."
The Palmisano bill already had been
recalled from the calendar, and Hull
at this point made a motion to post
pone indefinitely its further consider
alton by the committee.
Palmisano Immediately made point
Of order against the. motion, on the
ground that Hull was not privileged
to make 1t because he had voted IN
the negative on the original motion to
report the measure. -
Chairman Norton overruled the
point of order on the ground that no

action when the bill was reported out
Of committee.

Best indoor spot Of the outdoor

REALTY VALUES
GAIN S4,O95,54O
IN ARLIN GTON
II Per Cent Increase
Over 1886 Shown

ARLINGTON, Va, Aug. %.
Real estate values in Arlington
county for 1887 increased by 81
o95,54o over 1886, a gain of IT
per cent, according to figures re-
leased by Commissioner Of Rev.
enue Harry K. Green.
The increased valuation will re-
suit in an increase of $110,579.58
in collectable taxes this year, SET
ting the county's total collectable
taxes from real estate at $751;
414.s6.
REASON OF INCREASE
Mr.. Green said the increased
real estate values are due to a new
land assessment made in 1886 and
to his assessment of new improve
ments made last year. The re.
assessment of property added ST.

The county's total real estate
valuation or 1886 was $23,734,-
$40. Today it is $27,830.180.
Commissioner Greer 1885
assessment was based on 661 new
dwellings. 10 business houses and
five apartment buildings.
s3,OOO,OOO VALUATION
The second unit of the Colonial
Village development, including 1852
apartments, was assessed at $515,-
900. A third unit is to be COM
pleted by January l, giving the
apartment village a valuation of
more than 100000.
The ratio assessment in Airing
ton county is approximately 40
per cent of the market value, ex-
cept on business properties, which
are assessed higher, Mr.. Green
estimated. Although the county's
tax rate is higher than that Of
the District of Columbia, real
estate taxes here are considerably
less because the ratio assessment
is much lower, he said.
