Lack of Sewers May Evict
Five Families in Nearby Area
Deep Holes in Street Filled With Water,
Impering Their Health and Safety

Arlington County authorities said
today that forced moving seemed
to be the only solution to a dam
in new houses in the Columbia
Forest off Columbia pike on the
wooded hill west of Glebe road.
These families, three of them
with children, have been living
since January without sewer service
on a street pitted with yawning
holes filled six feet or more deep
with water.
Richard Writ, Arlington County
engineer. said today it will be some
time before the sewer can be COM
pleted. He said he had consulted
with Frank c. Hanrahan, county
manager, and that the latter agreed
that moving the families out of
the houses was the only way to
end a particularly dangerous health
and safety menace.
Tenants and management were in
conflict as to how the situation
arose. Jesse johnson, manager of
Westbrook, Inc, builder of the 200
small concrete houses comprising
the development, said the tenants
had begged him to allow them to
occupy the houses, although the
work on the street was not COM
pleted. Some of them moved In
without his permission, he said. He
said he has not been charging them
rent. County authorities pointed

By JAMES BIRCHFIELD.

One of Prince Georges County's
most fertile farms will be made
| to produce nearly third more in
crops this year, with no increase
in labor or farm machinery.
These $50 acres, which lie near
T. B., Md. have been built up
through crop rotation and ferti-
lization for the past IA years to the
point where the land will pay ex-
ira dividends in crops. There will
be plenty of time after the war to
pay back the land for its ad-
ditional effort.
Originally purchased by John
Deere of the farm machinery firm.
this Maryland farm now belongs
to Mrs Katherine Deere Butter
worth, a daughter, and is managed
by j. E. Hoge, graduate Of the
University of Nebraska school of
agriculture.
Land Shares War Burden.
Mr.. Hoge agreed with other
Maryland and Virginia farmers that
the man who cultivates the land
is on the low end of the economic
scale, but thinks that in any event
the land should be called on to
bear its part of the war burden.
Mr. Hoge explained that this
year he will plant two crops where
one is ordinarily raised Instead of
a three-year crop rotation plan, he
will drop to tWo-year plan, and
will take an extra crop from the
land without paying it back.
AS an example, he said grass or
lespedeza will be soWn with soy
beans When these are harvested
and out of the way the grass will
come on to make an additional crop
OF hay. This plan likewise will be
followed with other crops.
These double crops will be sown
at one time, requiring no extra labor,
and although the harvesting will
require additional effort, the normal
force will be able to do the job.
Crop Feeds Big Dairy Herd.
A believer in self -sufflciency. Mr..
Hoge said the farms entire crop
production is fed to a herd of 160
purebred and first-grade Guernsey
cows, the main source of income.
The only feed purchased, he said,
Is high protein content dairy feed,

out that occupancy permits had not
been obtained by the management
and that they did not know the
families had moved in.
Tenants held an informal protest
meeting this morning. They denied
they begged to get in. They moved
in in January, they said. on the
understanding that work would be
completed in few days.
Mr.. johnson said his attorney told
him there was no legal way he could
force the occupants to move. He
said he was willing to move them
to houses, up the hill and would sup
ply the labor and trucking for the
job. He agreed with the county
authorities that moving was the
only solution
Mrs. Lowell B. Archer, wife of a
warrant officer in the Navy, said her
4-year-old boy, Lowell, jr. fell into
a pit in front of the house the other
day and his life had been saved by
laborer.
Mrs. Archer and her neighbor.
Mrs. James II. MCGOWAN, said they
would rather remain in their homes
and have the place fixed. Mrs.

householders were able to tell when
the air raid ended by the fact that
the streets lights were turned on
again.
Lights on Soon After All-Clear
Within three minutes after the
all-clear, street lights in the down
town area were glowing again, but
in the outlying sectors, it took as
long as 10 minutes before wardens
realized the test was over.
E. M. O'Sullivan, zone warden for
Area 2l, Zone c, the Dupont Circle

borhood was highly successful.
MI. O'Sullivan called for addi-
tlonal volunteers to serve as air

Virginia Governor
Gets Pleas 10 Cut
State Income Tax
Arlington Federation
Among Those Urging
Reduction Of Levy
By the Associated Press.

LoN ti!t 1SSOCla ltu fFtHS.
RICHMOND, March l7.-Talk in
other States Of reducing State in
come taxes found an echo in Vir-
ginia when several groups ap-
preached Gov. Darden recently with
similar suggestions for modifying
Virgina'S tax.
The Governor said yesterday sew
eral groups had been in touch with
him and that he had told them it
was too early to make an intelligent
appraisal of the States financial
condition and that the matter was
one for the Legislature.
The Arlington County Civic Fed
Grafton, he said, wanted a reduction
of 25 per cent.
Revenue Hits New High.
Virginia tax assessments on in
dividual and fiduciary incomes rose
to a new high of s4,276,4l6.81 during
1912 to top the previous high in 194l
of $2,930,16785. The increase of ST.
346 ,24896 was due principally to
larger incomes brought about by the
war
The State tax rate is Is per cent
on the first $4,000 of net income sub
ject to tax; 2.5 per cent on the next
$4,000, and 3 per cent on all over
$1,000
In Maryland, where the Legisla-
ture is now in session, Gov. O'Conor
has proposed a straight third
cut in the total income tax to be
paid Under this plan, the tax
payer would figure his tax at the
normal rate, take of one-third and
pay the balance. The proposal is
still pending before the Legislature
which has taken no action so far.
Movement Widespread.
Similar movements to reduce or
abolish State income taxes have
been started in number of other
States to relieve taxpayers of some
of their burden of taxation for the
duration of the war. Arguments for
reduction generally have been the
greatly-increased rate of Federal
taxation and the ability of some
States to forego some tax revenue
in a period of decreased expendi-
lures
The Arlington County proposal
was being studied, meanwhile, by
Virginia Tax Commissioner c. H.
Morrissett on the suggestion of Gov.
Darden The recommendation
sponsored by Albert A. Carretta of
the federation. was approved un-
animously by the organization.

County Legislators
Hear Opponents Of
Annexation Bills
Views on CheverIy Bond
Proposal Also Received
At Special Hearing

Opposition to three bills pending
in the Maryland Legislature. two
of which would authorize Riverdale
and Mount Rainier to annex adja-
cent areas, was expressed last night
by residents of the areas affected
at special hearing before the
county legislative delegation in An
napolis.
Arthur Grenholm of Gretta, one
Of the three subdivisions proposed
to be annexed by Riverdale, con-
tended that most of the 100 families
in Gretta were against annexation
He said the move would result in
increased taxation.
Ramon Granados of East River
dale, which also would be affected
by the proposal, declared the area
to be annexed is large enough to be
represented by two councilmen in
stead OF one, as provided in the bill
Referendum Suggested.
He added that residents of River
dale should have a referendum on
whether they want the boundaries
of the town enlarged. The third
subdivision affected is Springbrook
Terrace.
Mayor William Wedding of Riv-
erdale and other town officials who
favored the bill, claimed that rep
reSentatives of the three subdivi-
sions had initiated the proposal and
wanted to be annexed.
Daniel M Greene of Avondale.
who spoke against the bill which
would authorize Mount Rainier to
annex the Heitmiller tract, said the
property was not ready for annex
alton"
Mayor Floyd M Matthias of Mount
Rainier had claimed previously
however that Mr. Greene was not
resident Of the tract and that the
owner, Phil Lustine, has requested
It's annexation. An apartment prof.
ect is now being constructed on the

Cheverly authority to issue bonds,
was opposed by Fred Cast, president
Of the Cheverly Citizens Association,
and Mrs. Betty Tayman They said
residents Of the town should have a
voice IN any such expenditures.
In supporting the bill, Mayor Ray
mond Fletcher pointed out that the
people should have faith in their
elected representatives.
Others who attended the hearing
included County Commissioners Will
liam A. Carson, Theodore Siehler
and Leonard Dyer. The hearing was
held before Delegates Leroy Pun

0'Conor Signs
Montgomery
Power Bill.
Governor Approves
Measure After Civic
Body Opposes 1t

ANNAPOLIS, March 17.-Gov
O'Conor late yesterday signed an
emergency measure granting the
Montgomery County Commissioners
extensive authority to deal with
emergencies of war, riot, insurrec-
ton, food or other disaster.
The Montgomery County Civic
Federation asked for a hearing on
the bill before the Governor, and
when it was held yesterday opposed
the measure because it lacked a time
limitation clause and hence gave
the commissioners unlimited power
for an unlimited time
AS originally written the bill con-
tanned a provision which would have
rendered the act invalid six months
after the war, but that sections was
eliminated in the House.
The civic had asked the Governor
to withhold his signature, which
when affixed today made the act eff
tectlve at once since it was an emer-
gency measure approved by three
flfths Of the membership of both
houses.
Broad Powers Provided.
AS passed by the House on Febru-
airy 3, the bill empowered the COM
mlssloners to appropriate funds and
to take such other positive action
as they may deem necessary and
proNer for yo11rrocec of ,>,,l,l;o co
fense in time of actual or impending
war, lnsurrection, riot or other
emergencies and for the de-
fense of Montgomery County /.
or for any other purpose necessary
for the preservation of the public
health, safety or welfare. and to
borrow upon the faith and credit
OF Montgomery County such sum or
sums as may be necessary to carry
out the provisions of the act"
Delegate James w. Gill and
Joseph Cantrel, counsel to the
Board of County Commissioners
explained at the hearing yesterday
that the reason for dropping the
limitation clause was that one of the
county commissioners thought the
clause might preclude giving help in
cases of insurrection, riot or other
emergencies.
Object to Proposals.
F. E. Chase, president of the
Greater Kensington Civic League,
and Ralph B. Stewart. president of
the Citizens Association of Section
4, Chevy Chase, also objected to the
proposals to laid the State of Mary
land or the United States in con-
nection with national defense" to
furnish arms and ammunition to
county citizens or ito the Regular
Army or militia of the United States
and State Of Maryland, and to the
ratification of all acts done hereto
fore for public defense.
Members OF the county delegation
in the House said they had no ute
rior motive in view, the House men,
bers said. They secuted the sugges-
ton that the commissioners might
take undue advantage of the emer-
gency powers conferred by the bill.
