undergone considerable revision In
practice today. Federal Housing
Administration officials say.
we have long sinee departed
from the dangerous assumption
that values really change but little
through the years." v. ~. Bsbeock,
Assistant Administrator Of the
FLA. said.
I'VE hear les frequently the az.
pressions normal value and sta
hilixed value For example. we
have developed the substitution
theory. which holds that no prop
erty may be properly appraised at
= figure In excess Of the amount at
which an equally desirsb BILE and sub
stantislly Identical property can be
obtained by buyers In the same
market and at the same time. Such
buyers have two ways Of obtaining
such substitute properties. They
may buy lots and build or they
may buy existing properties now
offered In the market. In no case
are they warranted in paying more
for the subject property than they
would pay for substitute rropertis.

A. b Comfort. chairman Of the
Committee Of 1000. promised the
group that he would investigate
the reason for the trees removal
and report back 10 the committee
next Tuesday. Inquiries will be
made at the state highway de-
partment offices and unless a valid
reason exists for destroying the
trees the committee will move TO
prevent the practice being con-
tinued.
Trees along the highway pro-
vide a beautiful entrance TO the
city. Comfort said. "and 1t is a
shameful act to cut them down in
order TO provide billboard space"
Franklin Park Discussed
Members OF the executive COM
mittee talked about getting work
under way for the development OF
Franklin park. II was brought out
that with the completion of the
Narrows bridge. traffic from the
south will pass through the Frank
lin district and a developed park
in this section will create a favor
able impression. Lack of park
facilities for residents Of the west
side was also given as a reason
for the immediate commencement
OF the project. One of the men,
bers of the committe said that a
wPA project has been approved
for this development work but that
he was told men are not available
TO start the work at this time.
After consideration OF many
sides Of the question. the commit
tee passed a resolution, TO be sent
to the park board. favoring de-
velopment Of the park.

erty is being made each week, the
committee noted. Those who know

Hitler Takes Slovaka & Hungary Carpatho- Ukraine
Germany And Hungary Absorb Czechosloyakia

UNDATED, March l6 (H) - The two new states, Carpatho- Ukraine and Slovakia. left from the wreckage of Czechoslovakia, faded from Europe's map as Hun gary annexed Carpatho- Ukraine and German took Slovakia under it's protection as Hitler laid down German law in Bohemia and Moravia.
 The rest of Europe wondered anxiously where the next Ger man expansion would be felt, but only one man, Hitler, knew the answer. and he is in Prague awaiting a propitious moment to appear before the 100000 new Czech subjects over whom he has laid his protective hand.
 A decree was broadcast by For eign Minister von Ribbentrop that Hitler has charted the fut- ure of the ancient lands of Be- hernia and Moravia as that of ian autonomous protectorate , within a greater Germany.
 While Hungarian troops march ing across Carpatho- Ukraine, reached the Polish frontier, Hun garian premier Count Teleky pro claimed to wildly cheering parliament in Budapest th t "Carpatho- Ukraine has become a part of Hungary"
 The British press found in Ger many's emergence to imperialist power, further reason for vigor- our preparedness. Prime minister Chamberlain stuck to his policy of conciliation, simu ltaneous with rearmament but with em- phaSis on rearmament.
 In Paris agitation appeared to be growing for a coalition govern ment of all parties, to present a strong front to Germany.
