WALK SAFELY
(By John Jaster, Jr.)

iDy ColA cooICl, Ol'J
Drivers, of course, should show
every consideration to pedestrians
Persons on foot are more or less a
the mercy of motorists when cross
ing highways or streets.
But pedestrians should show con
sideration for drivers. 1t takes
lot more time and space to stor
when driving than when you are
walking.
So when you are pedestrian
give the drivers a break. At cor
ners with signal lights cross only
on the green. At corners without
lights cross only after looking care
fully in beth r ctions.
Above all, don ay'9l'-. You
c1n expect motorists 70 be watch
ing pedestrians darting out into
their paths and at the same time be
watching the stream of traffic about
them.
Walk safely as we'll as drive safe
ly.

There was the usual gathering

was only right. For this is .

TAK0MA PARK
PAYS ITS TAXES

TAKOMA PARK. Md, Aug. %.
Taking advantage of the four per
cent discount allowed for payment
Of taxes during the month OF July,
residents of Takoma Park. Md,
paid j. Wilson Dodd, town clerk
and treasurer, nearly half Of the
entire years levy during the first
81 days of the 1s3&30 fiscal year.
During the month Of july, Mr..
Dodd said, town residents paid
s2S.666 of the years total 9,000
tax levy and so far during August
an additional $1,000 has been
paid. However, these making pay
ment during August only receive
three per cent discount, he
said.
A reduction Of three cents In
this years tax rate over the pre-
ceeding year was believed to be
partly responsible fer the early
payments, according to Dedd. The
rate this year is 80 cents per each
$100 assessment as compared With
SO cents last year.
The discounts will continue to
decrease one per cent per month
until November when a one oeH
cent penalty will be added to ur1-
paid taxes. This penalty will then
continue to increase one per cent
per month until April next year
when the penalty will reach 8
per cent. If not paid at that time
the delinquent property will be ad-
vertised and sold at public auction
for the amount of taxes due, Mr.
Dodd explained.
