FAIRFAX. Va. June 22.-Heavy
building operations in Fairfax Coun-
ty during the last year resulted in
a net increase of 81 ,646 $40 in the
assessed valuation of real estate for
the current year, according to a
report made bv County Commits
sioner of the Revenue James u.
Kincheloe
Mr.. Kincheloe explained new
buildings alone brought about the
boost is realty valuation since as
sessments on land are not changed
between general reassessment pc
RODS. He stated the new assessed
valuation is the highest ever listed
for the county.
The tax value of real estate was
s2O.078. .726 for l94l, compared to
s2l ,725 $3.50 for the present year.
Tax Gain Is Large.
1t was announced the tax levied
on real estate this year is s75 ,967 80
ahead OF the l94l figure. In 194l
the real estate tax was 1888 1874 SO,
while the treasury is scheduled to
receive s459, ,3627l for 1912. A por-
ton of the boost this year comes
from an increase in tax rates, as
we'll as increased assessed values.
Falls Church district leads in the
total of increase, while for incor-
porated towns. Falls Church is
ahead. In the district the jump is
S535 ,204. representing boost from
the l94l total of s3,368,926 to
So, ,9O4, 100 this year. The town in
crease is s204.078, rising from 81 6ll.-
Ais in l941 to sl.8l5. .493 for 1912.
Largely because of the fact the
Federal Government took over ap-
proximately 2,700 acres in Mount
Vernon district for the expansion
of Fort Belvoir. the increase of as
sessed values in that district was
only s298,l79 although Mr.. Kinche-
loe pointed out this figure does not
represent the true growth there as
a number of dwellings were also
acquired by the Government and
become tax exempt.
New Rates Are Given.
For the entire county the COM
missioner said the Federal Govern
ment took over about $500 acres.
all of which was dropped from the
tax records.

tax levy are predicated are as fol-
lows: Centreville district. $19l:

going on. He ran to drug store and
called police
When a scout car arrived. the
youth still was under arrest. There
was no miStaking that. His custodian
had a few abrasions and scratches,
but that didn't bother him.
The man who turned the sneak
thief over to the police was not the
owner of the car. And he was nc
officer of the law-at least not by
vocation He was violinist by pro-
fession. But he was on duty along
that street just the same. He was

UnwOrried About His Hands.
1t might have been thought that
Max Finder. who plays first violin
at the Capitol Theater, would be
about the last fellow to volunteer for
the police force. His hands, one
might have asked-Surely he
couldn't risk marring them?
But Mr. Finder was one OF the
first to seek this hazardous service.
And he does not seem to have wor-
ried about his hands-or his lace
either. He has, in fact. been one
of Mai. kellys most active auxll-
iaries. seeming to prefer the more
dangerous shifts and beats.
Mr.. Finder has paid musicians to
work for him so that he could go on
duty at important times like prac-
tice blackoutS. He often leaves the
theater at midnight. after an exact
ing nights work. reports for police
duty and stays on beat until OF
5 O'Clock. 1t has cost him money
to say nothing of time and Wearl-
ness, to help his city for nothing
except the satisfaction OF knowing
he is performing a needed service
in time of crisis.
Nor are such examples of courage
and zeal rare among Maj. Kelly S
1000 and more auXiliaries. In
spectors and precinct commanders
sergeants and patrolmen can tell
you similar stories.
