quests for adjustments may be
made in person or in writing.
The same consideration, 1t is
stated, will be given each.
From all Indications it doesn't
appear as If rural taxation will
be greatly affected and for that
reason probably only the normal
amount of protests will be made.
Authorities declare the rural con-
dition have not changed materi-
ally. In cases where new dairy
barns have been built to meet
Washington health requirements,
new homes built, road improve
ments made and old run down
farms renovated, naturally these
improvements will influence the
rates, so officials say.
All field work is expected to be
completed by November Is and at
least 10 days notice will be given
to all property owners Of the
hearings.

MONTGOMERY
Nl SIDELICHTS

A short distance from the noisy
traffic of U. S. Highway 240, on
the road to Kensington, lies the
quiet, sleepy looking town of Gar
rett Park, named for John W.
Garrett, president of the BIO
Railroad, the Metropolitan Branch
of which runs through the town.
Laid off like park, with gently
winding streets, it is famed for
its many lovely trees-it must be
q birds paradise in summer, and
we think a dogs paradise at all
times-We recently turned idly
into a street, lined with trees on
either side whose branches met to
form an aisle, down which we
were escorted by five dogs of
various sizes and colors, who
made it clear to us that we were
expected to drive slowly and care
fully down their streets.
A young community was
farm land fifty years ago-Gar-
rett Park was first started as an
amusement place, later to induce
government workers to come out
there to live, the railroad is said
to have hauled their groceries and
building supplies free.
A product of the gay nineties,
the bicycle played an important
part in it's development, we are
told that commuters rode to the
train, put their bicycles in the
baggage car, and upon arrival in
the city, rode them to their offices.
Temple Bailey, a resident for a
time, used the locality as the set
ting for her novel "The Blue
Lantern" Remember how the
! characters drove through Rock
Creek Park and up and down
Connecticut avenue?
We were much interested by
the recent account of the cur
tailed visit of DIR. and Mrs. Allan
Fry to Holland and Belgium
how they were twice stopped by
German U-boats on the return
trip-they will be able to tell
future generations tales far more
breathless than any of Temple
Bailey's.
