Arlington County
CONTINUED From First Pape)

the county has to offer from 4 tax
standpoint. close proximity to The
Nations Capital, modern conveniences
and other attractions are having q
great appeal to hundreds of people
who make their homes in Arlington
County.
The increase in population here in
1887, based on four persons to a new
home or apartment, is estimated to
be about 1000. Arlington County
has enjoyed great increase in popu-
lation during the last five years, and
it Is estimated the total population
today is $4,000"
Others Being Built
Approximately 225 dwellings and
businesses for which permits have
been obtained, but which were not
found ready for assessment on Janu-
airy Of this year, will be completed
during the present year. he said.
About 200 apartment units in Buck
lngham Village were completed during
1887. and about 600 more will be
ready for assessment by the end of
this year.
Total real estate values In the
county during 1887 amounted to $27,.
$780, ,180, which added to the new i'm
provements made during the year
makes the total real estate valua ton
as $30,410,100. This shows an in
crease during the year of about 90
per cent.
The total assessment for 1888, he
said. including public service cor
porations and tangible personal prop
erty, will amount to about $50, ,530,712.
The amount of revenue produced from

hope for the future OF Germany's
lighter-than-air passenger travel.
There will be no more passenger
Zeppelin flights without helium," the
veteran president OF the Zeppelin
manufacturing plant said in an in
terview.
He explained he felt disappointed
and astonished" by the continued re-
fusal of Secretary Ickes to consent to
sale of the non-inflammable gas.
1T is so sad" he said. that we are
held up by the military opinion of
ohe cabinet officer, when the American
military authorities have indicated
they fear no military developments
from the sale"
DR.. Eckener. seated in an easy chair
at the German Embassy. said the de-
cision might be the death stroke"
to the experiment in lighter-than-
air transportion. He insisted that Ger
many would derive mo military use
whatsoever" from helium.
The demand for helium to initiate
the giant airships was spurred by the
explosion at Lakehurst, N. j., last year
year OF the Zeppelin Hindenburg, in
which So persons were killed.
The Hindenburg was built in Ger
many to replace the Graf Zeppelin,
which. using inflammable hydrogen,
had made 80 round trips across the
Atlantic. The Graf Zeppelin has dis
continued passenger flights.
Chairman Sheppard. Democrat, Of
Texas, of the Senate Military Affairs
Committee, expressed opposition to
any move to liberalize the law and
proposed instead that the Government
subsidize construction Of commercial
dirigibles.
Construction Of a s.. 900 900 dirigible
Is authorized In the naval expansion
bill. and Senator Sheppard said he
thought that project would furnish
an accurate index on the cost of COM
mercial airships. The compromise
naval legislation was before the Sen
ate today after its approval by the
House.

|CKES EXPLAINS
HE[|UM STAND
Suggests Congress Action
May Be Required
to Sell Gas.
by the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Secretary of the Interior Ickes sug-
gested today that congressional action
probably would be necessary before
any helium is sold to Germany.
IF Congress amends the act and
makes more lenient the interpreta-
toin of the law" the Secretary told
his press conference, Il would not
stand in the way of sale, but as the
law now stands I can only deny the
sale on the ground that competent
testimony before Congress shows
helium to be of military importance. 4"
He insisted that his stand was based
solely on the section in the present
helium export law prohibiting the
accumulation of helium in quantities
Of military importance" abroad.
Mr.. Ickes add that he had no per-
sonal motive in blocking the sale.
The White House announced a
hands-oh attitude yesterday on the
question of whether the non-infiam-
mable gas should be sold to DR.. Hugo
Eckener's Zeppelin works for use in
transatlantic dirigibles.
Mr.. 1ckes, who has supervision over
the Governments helium monopoly,
has repeatedly refused to sign a con-
tract Of sale with the German con-
Germ on the ground that the gas might
be used for military purposes.
Board Could Vote Release.
Mr.. Ickes mentioned today that the
Munitions Control Board could vote
to release helium to Germany, but
no date has been set for that board
to meet. Furthermore, the law re-
quires that the board vote unani-
mously for exporting the gas before
any can be sold and Mr.. Ickes is a
board member.
AS a result of this stalemate, DR..
Eckener declared that he had little
