Better Look the Home Over
Carefully

Now is the time to "take that stitch that
will save nine" AS the old saying goes. Send
for an Eberly Plan Supervisor to 60 over
your home with spotting needed repairs
here and there; renovizing - converting
spare rooms into an apartment you can rent
proftably helping to relieve housing
shortage.
There are many other things that should
be definitely put on the must list-such as
tightening cracks and crevices; fitting storm
sashes-for you will need to conserve every
possible heat unit if the fuel shortage
materializes. Why not let us give the home
a complete insulation? Our way is highly
satisfactory-an NOT expensive.
This entire program can be satisfactorily
and economically handled if you will place
it in the hands of one of our Supervisors He
will submit complete and definite estimate
and because all the work will be done by
Eberly Plan skilled craftsmen it will be done
with only ONE moderate overhead-and
with ONE ponsibility-OURS.
Experience is the most practical teacher
and The Eberly Plan puts 90 years of it at
your service.

Cities
Show Tax Rate Drop,
First in Seven Years
Average Decrease Is
Five Gents Per 81 900,
League Reports
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Dec. 1o.-For the
first time in seven years the average
tax rates in American cities with
populations between 10000 and 500,-
900 showed a decrease in 1912, the
National Municipal League reported
today.
The small decrease-averaging 5
cents per $1,000 of assessed value
was accompanied by a is per cent
increase In assessed value.
The leagues annual tax survey,
prepared by Rosina K Mohaupt of
the Detroit Bureau of Governmental
Research, compared the adjusted tax
rates for 276 cities with the surveys
Of former years
Falls Below 1941.
The survey disclosed that Atlantic
City, N. j., for the fourth consecu-
tive year had the highest reported
adjusted property tax rate-$57.2O
thousand This was $3.50 lower
than Atlantic City's rate in 194l.
Wheeling. w. Va, showed the
years lowest adjusted rate-$l0.50.
The city with the lowest rate last
year, Montgomery, Ala, at $8.13 a
thousand in 1941, failed to report in
this years survey. -
The most favorable record was
shown by cities between 25O,O00 and
100000 population. They reported
the greatest decrease in adjusted tax
rate-31 cents on every $l,000-and
the smallest increase in assessed
value.
Cities having more than 100000
population failed to show a trend
toward decreased rates. Miss Mo-
haupt said these cities had expert
enced a series Of decreases in as.
sessed valuation which had never
been restored to them, a factor
which appeared 10 years ago as an
outgrowth Of pre-depression assess
ments based on speculative real
estate values.
Highest Adjusted Rates.
The survey showed that each Of
the following cities had the highest
adjusted tax rate In its population
group: 100000 or more. Chicago,
1869: 100000 to 100000, Boston,
$41: 25o,0o0 to 100000, Jersey City.

The huge base was begun May IS.
Within six months after the first

1000 men, is stepping through the

polishes a raw recruit to the extent
that he is able to take over a post

detailed training program. He says
that recruits, after finishing the H.
week course, are not synthetic sea-
men," but real fighters.
He comedies the curriculum is in
complete. but he adds that it will
be rounded out by the time the re-
manning buildings Of the base are
completed. Then, he adds, the
training program will offer courses
for yeomen, storekeepers, signal

The base was named In honor OF
Commodore William Bainbridge,
commander of the historic frigate
Constitution and hero OF the War
Of 1912.
Covering some 1000 acres, the
base has been merged with the old
Tome Preparatory Academy, which
was taken over by the Navy. The
school was the nucleus around which
$50 structures eventually will be
built, capable of accommodating
nearly 10000 men.
Approximately IS per cent OF the
project is complete, and 1t is in this
portion of the base that recruits are
stationed for primary training.

The base, one Of three strategic
ally located to expedite the training
OF recruits, will be a permanent
training center. 1t will have all the
necessary conveniences, on an ever
more elaborate and larger scale
than those of naval bases already
built. The other two are the Samp-
son at Lake Seneca, N. Y, and the
Farragut at Pond Oreille, Idaho.
Capt. Russell said that a 10000
bed hospital is included in the
project, together with four drill
halls, capable Of holding 5000 men,
and four mess halls, each of which
will accommodate 5000 men.
