Occupancy Tax
Urged by Head
|Of II. S. Realtors

Replacement of present ad valo-
rem real estate taxes with the
occupancy tax" system ought seri-
ously to be considered, Herbert U.
Nelson, executive vice president of
the National Association of Real
Estate Boards, said today.
Writing in Headlines, official pub
hcation of NAREB, Mr.. Nelson said
that under the occupancy tax sys-
tenn, used in nearly every country
except Canada and the United
States. the occupant. whether owner
or tenant. would pay for public
services received on a basis con-
sistent with the annual rent or
rental value of the premises. It
would, he added, establish a ''use
value" as the basis of taxation,
rather than the ad valorem assess
nent method.
Money hungry cities are now
scraping the bottom of the tax barrel
all over the country" Mr.. Nelson
said. This results In wide discrep-
ancies between tax valuations and
market value. Realtors have long
urged that the tax value should be
related to the current use and
income of property"

searching for or storing food. They
can do great deal of damage,
chewing anything they can find to
line their nest. Their food storage
brings all sorts of vermin, which
eventually will appear throughout
the house.
Bats Are Nuisance.
Bats are nuisance. Though they
do not destroy apparel, they have
the most annoying habit of easing
their way down fireplace chimneys
and dashing out when the lights are
turned on in the house. Half-inch
mesh wire, laid over the tops of the
chimneys, held down with wood
cleats around the edge, will keep
them out. Bats and humans have
had no use for each other since
time immemorial, and, although not
as destructive as mice, they are
equally as obnoxious.
Irregular trash collection, COM
bined with the difficulty of getting
proper receptacles, puts the sanitary
condition of his house and grounds
up to each householder. Every ef-
fort to wrap refuse carefully in
paper, to burn everything burnable,
to house containers so as to obviate
flies and rodents and to protect the
interior of homes against the germs
which these animals bring into the
house is first" in the home front
campaign right now.

Paint Will Aid Owners
To Maintain Home Value

"A paint-neglected house is q
house well on the way to decay and
deterioration, says the Federal
Housing Administration. "If painted
In time, it will furnish years of ad-
diuional service and comfortable liv-
ing; in addition, the property will
maintain its value"
In the warmer seasons of the year
when insects may alight on and ad-
here to fresh paint, the addition OF
from two to four ounces of citron-
ella oil to gallon of paint is advo-
Gated by some painting authorities
as remedy for the trouble. The
practical test of how much citron-
ella oil to use is to make sure that
1t is sufficient to cause the paint tc
give off a fairly strong odor OF
citronella. 1t is the odor that keeps
the insects away.
If paint is applied over rust, the
rust will continue to eat into the
metal and ultimately the paint will
come off. For this reason, care
should be taken thoroughly to sand
paper or scrape all rust spots down
to the uncorroded metal.

| How safe is your home from the
! depredations of wild beasts? You
probably would not worry in Wash
ington about lions or bears, but how
| about rats, mice, bats and squirrels?
These can scare you as we'll as bring
pestilence and ruin to your house
1t is up to every householder to do
his level best to keep this nuisance
at a minimum on his own property.
There have been many difficulties
in the last six months with collec-
tion of garbage and trash. You and
have struggled considerably to get
garbage pals, ash cans and other
necessary receptacles to keep uncol-
lected items carefully covered. The
| fact that we have failed occasionally
is one reason why rats have gath
cred in the vicinity of the back door
and eventually worked their way
into the house.
Trash Box Is Remedy.
One simple remedy for this diff
Guilty is the construction of a sturdy
trash box, where receptacles may be
kept. Make the frame of heavy lum-
ber. with wood floor and top, and
inclose the sides in a heavy half
inch wire mesh. This makes it pos
sible for the air to circulate and
keeps rodents out. 1t is good plan
to line the inside of the floor with
the wire mesh also. The box should
be large enough to hold the garbage
cans and burlap bags for the collec-
ton of trash. Further fortify this
area by the use of sprays and pow
ders to discourage flies, ants,
reaches and similar pests.
Inspect carefully all the founda-
tions of your house. If you live in
an old house you may find that gas
or electric lines coming into the
house may have been taken through
the foundation just where the wood
frame meets the stone base. This
is an ideal spot for rats to enter,
and they will enlarge the smallest
crack until it is convenient for
them and all their cousins to run in
and out. If bricks or cement under
the back porch steps have dropped
out rats will wriggle their way
through this until they find en-
trance. Around chimneys, almost
anywhere that wood meets cement,
brick or stone, there is space for
rats, chipmunks or squirrels to enter.
Clean Roofs and Eaves.
Flatten out tin cans by cutting
off the top and bottom with tin ships
and hammering them fiat. Slide
these sheets between foundation and
wall. Drive nails at half inch in
tervals, and If there is any space
| left fill in with patching cement
The nails will help the cement to
lock in place so that it will not
fall out readily when set. If there
are places where tin may not be in
serted wedge crushed chicken wire
into the opening, forcing it in with
hammer and screw driver. When
this is in place, work patching
cement in around it.
| 1t Is about time to inspect and
clean out the roof cutters and caves
| While you are up on the ladder see if
| there are any openings around the
| roof line where squirrels may work
their way in. One of their favorite
! places Is between the ceiling and the
! roof OF the porch, from where they
will work their way into the house
as soon as the weather gets chilly
They will nest comfortably close
to the chimney or the heating pipes.
From here they will forage into the
attic or any other unmatched area,

FILA Insurance Souqhi
For 1882 DWELLINGS

Applications for mortgage insur-
ance totaling SOS, 5,759, $50 to finance
the construction of 1892 new dwell
ing units for war workers were filed
with FILA field Offices during July,
Federal Housing Commissioner Alb
ner H. Ferguson announced today
This brought to 103,935 the number
of proposed new dwelling units for
which private lending institutions
sought FHA-insured financing since
the first of the year.
Mr. Ferguson said that so far this
year 76,595 new family dwelling
units financed with FHA-insured
mortgage loans have been started
by private builders in critical war
housing areas. During the same
period 1850 war housing units were
completed by private industry under
the FHA program, he reported. In
July 14005 new units were started
and 14,720 were completed.
Of the total mortgage insurance
applications filed during July, more
than $50,256,000 was for proposed
one-to-four-family structures, which
would provide 11,514 new family
dwelling units for war workers.
This represents a slight decrease
from June, when applications to-
falling $57,037 900 for 1919 units
were received.
Applications also were filed in July
for Al proposed large-scale rental
housing projects, which would make
available 1928 dwelling units to be
financed by mortgages of 5.503 $50
and insured under the National
Housing Act. During the first seven
months of the year FHA issued
commitments of mortgage insurance
totaling 1862 ,676, ,440 in war housing
loans to finance the construction Of
approximately 87,600 new dwelling
units for war worker families.
During July the FHA reported
that it had also received 1894 ap-
plications for insurance on mort
cages totaling s25,815, TOO to finance
the purchase of existing homes.
At present upward of IS per cent
of all privately financed housing
units being built under the National
Housing Agency's war housing pro-
gram are financed by mortgages in
sured by FHA.

Extended Sea Battle
Baked Jap Attempt
To Aid Kiska, AHu
DuyIieht Torpedo Thrust
By ; Destroyers Freed
Navy Force From Trup

By the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 15.-It
was in perhaps the longest sea bat
tie of the war and against over
whelming odds that American naval
forces fought. of Japanese attempts
to reinforce Attu and Kiska and
blasted its way out Of a trap in
daring daylight torpedo attack, the
18th Naval District disclosed yes
.erday. 60
The action. was reported several
weeks ago of the Aleutians. Yes
terday's story paid particular tribute
to the lead destroyer of the three,
which, with the help of an American
heavy cruiser, put to flight enemy
destroyers, two heavy cruisers, two
light cruisers and two transports or
cargo ships.
The destroyers streaked in under
big Japanese guns for the torpedo
kill after the American force was
trapped between the Japanese and
nearby islands.
Jap Cruisers Struck.
The American cruiser walloped
one of the Japanese cruisers at the
start Of the battle. The lead de-
stroyer, eyewitness accounts said,
hit an enemy light cruiser with a
salvo and put torpedo into another
heavy one under IAN appalling vol
ume Of fire"
1t. Comdr. James M. Clute of
Richmond, Staten Island, N. Y, the
destroyer's executive officer, said the
continuous slugging match" from
7:30 am. until 1890 pm, possibly
set record in length, and that the
fact I'VE could make all the speed
we wanted to probably saved us"
He paid high tribute to the Amer
lean cruiser which fought off the
two Japanese heavies" and itself
was hit. He told of receiving orders
to lead the bold, daylight torpedo
attack after the United States force
had been trapped. The destroyers
waded in from $4,000 yards.
After torpedoes had been launched,
the two big japanese ships turned
and ran. Five persons were killed
and five wounded on teh destroyer
leader, which made its base after a
pretty miserabel trip" with no
lights, no heat and no fresh water
Destroyer Recognized.
The destroyer was greeted with a
mark of high esteem when it ar
rived. The skipper of the heavy
cruiser had posted an order that IF
the (destroyeD wants anything,
give it to them. If you don't have
it, 60 get it. If you can't get it,
make it."
Roy Jones of Clifton Forge, Va,
fire controlman, I'd class. said of
the battle that the Japanese kept
coming like termites and I figure
I just amt coming back. = When
