. more equitable tax situation for
real estate. Reports will be made
from the 81 States where an active
movement is now in progress for
real estate tax adjustment.
President Roosevelt in a letter
to the conference last fall indicated
his own feeling that the question OF
the real property tax would prop
erly come within the scope of a
national tax study such as has
been proposed both by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury and by the
Conference of Real Estate Tax
payers.
The proposal, urged for years by
the National Association of Real
Estate Boards, Is Endorsed by the
Council of State Governments. Sew
eral States, among them Indiana,
Illinois, Rhode Island and Connec-
ticut, are setting up commissions Of
their own to study the tax outlook
in view of economic change in
cluding the demands Of the defense
program.
Formed Last April.
The conference was formed as a
continuing body at a three-day
meeting of taxpayers held in Wash
ington in April of last year, which
adopted this platform of principles
for action in the various States:
Cd Overall limitation of taxes on
real estate; CD recognition of the
productivity of real estate as prin-
cipal basis for valuing 1t for tax
purposes; CD broadening the basis
of financial support for education;
(4 a central expenditure control
agency in each State; 90 recogni-
ton that all forms of wealth on in
come should pay their proportionate
share of the costs of government;
go economy and efficiency In all

intelligent action, it asks that Con-

ample, to the dedication of the
building.
To cite a SPECIFIC example, al
though somewhat extreme one.
Eight years ago the School Board
first requested the Commissioners
to include in the Districts budget
an item to purchase the land for
Junior high school in the vicinity
of Massachusetts, avenue and Van
Ness street. Only this year was the
money granted and it will be at
least another two years, and pos
sibly longer, before the school is
actually built.
The changes that may take place
in neighborhood vitally affect the
value of property. The city cannot
always provide facilities as fast as
needed. A school will not be erected
until there are enough children in
the neighborhood to justify the cost.
Fairgrounds are not placed in un-
populated areas. However, different
departments of the government en-
deaVor to anticipate future growth.
The first stage in planning for the
growth of the city consists in map
ping out program for the erection
of schools, Fairgrounds, etc, in the
various parts of the city. The exc
cution of these plans requires secur-
ing authorizations and appropria-
tlons for ground, and later for
buildings. There may be a long
time gap between the planning of.
say, a playground and its actual
construction.
Some of the planned changes that
AFFECT property values are widening
or building of highways, bridges,
Fairgrounds, frehouses, parks and
schools
Check on Statements.
Here are suggestions that may
help you to find out what is to be
the future development of a neigh
borhood. Suppose you are told
there is to be school built "over
there" Find out if the land has
been bought or if the School Board
mas merely decided to place a school
IN the general vicinity. If the land
mas not been acquired, even though
tne School Board has decided that a
school will have to be built at some
tlme, you cannot count on a new
school In the immediate future
