 How come such funny looking shoes?" queried the reporter.
 He was told comfort was the most common cause, most surgeons preferring loose, ill-fitting shoes while performing delicate opera tions.
 Others, he was told, had been worn for years because of super sition.
 One doctor said:
 T am still wearing the same pair of shoes I wore during my first operation. They have brought me good luck and I never want to lose them"

There are shown on this map 1O1
communities in the District, l74 in
Maryland and l35 in Virginia. A
majority Of those in the outlying
sections have been developed in the
past few years. No doubt you have
never heard of many of them, but
there they pre- and most Of them are
thriving.
A fact which impressed Mr.. Sud-
duth in making his survey it that
many Of the communities of smaller
homes are just as attractive as those
containing the more pretentious resi-
dences. He found that good COM
munity planning is being practiced
all around the city. and on every
side new houses and developments
are rising in sections that a few
years ago seemed as far from the
city and modern conveniences as

sprung up during the past few years.
1t represents several weeks work on
the part of Newman Sudduth of The

the map. In gathering material,
Mr.. Sudduth consulted Government
and private agencies, and Travelled
hundreds of miles through the Dis
trict and surrounding sections of
Maryland and Virginia. finding a
new community at nearly every turn.
The map was suggested to The
Star by d subscriber. 1t should prove
of valuable assistance to most read

and other businessmen, and those

not pretended that The Stars map
includes every one of the subdivi-

an lmpossibility. Mr.. Sudduth be-
lleveS he may have omitted a maxi
mum of 25 little developments. But
most of these are so small that they
include no more than a street inter-
section and row of houses.

cally all of this increase occurred
during the third quarter Of the

FAIR TAX GROUP
ASSA|LSD. C.PLAN
Citizens Committee Backs
Principle of Graduated
Lew on Incomes.

The principle Of graduated income
tax for the District was approved last
night at full meeting of the Citi-
Eens' Committee on Fair Taxation at
the District Building. The committee
went on record as disappearing several
features of the tax measure now be-
fore the House Fiscal Affairs Sub
committee.
A tax council was created to direct
policy and organization. 1t will con-
sist of one of the three delegates of
each group affiliated with the Citizens
Committee Miss Genevieve B. VIM
satt was elected executive secretary.
Specific Features Opposed.
Specific features of the House SUBJ
committee bill disapproved by the
delegates last night were:
u. The plan as reported in the
press to allow Federal income tax pay
ment as credit against the District
income tax. This would result in a
tax which would be unique among all
State income taxes in that it would
be regressive instead of progressive.
y. Omission of taxation of capital
gains which would probably encourage
considerable degree of evasion of
the income tax itself.
"3. The fact that the first effective
year as proposed is 1888 instead of
1887 would deprive the District of con-
siderable revenue for the fiscal year
1889. There is no justification for
this in law or in equity.
More Difficulty Seen.
a. The reported proposal will in
volve far more administrative diff
Guilty and be considerably more ex-
pensive to enforce than a District in
come tax based on a fraction of the
Federal income tax, such as is pro-
posed by the Citizens Committee"
The meeting went on record as op.
posed to taxes on beer and liquor,
pointing out that these nuisance
ievies" are special sales taxes which
are burdensome to both consumer and
merchant"
The Research Subcommittee was in
structed to draw up a detailed ANALYSIS
OF the proposed House bill as soon as
1t is approved by the Fiscal Affairs
Subcommittee.
