Stables Accused
Of Lacking Permits

Charges that several riding acad-
emies in Prince Georges County are
being operated without permits and
that horses at one of the academies
are being "mistreated" were made
today before the County Commits
sioners by Perce Wolfe, coming Of
ficer of the Maryland-Capital Park
and Planning Commission.
Mr.. Wolfe said horses at riding
stable operated by Bernard Hoff
man, near Seabrook, are "underfed'
and are being ridden over gravel
roads without shoes.
He said one of the horses recently
died of blood poisoning after being
scratched on barbed wire, while
others are tied to trees with bal
ing wire"
He asked the commissioners
whether there are any laws pre-
scribing proper sanitary facilities
and proper care for horses at riding
academies in the county. The COM
missioners replied that such matters
fall under health and cruelty to
animals regulations. They added
that in the future any application
for a permit to operate a riding
academy would be referred to
County Sanitary Officer Charles L.
Wood.
Mr.. Hoffman was scheduled to ap-
pear before the commissioners today

Bet by Neighbor
Brings Poultry
| Grower toCourt

An Arlington County woman who
has raised chickens at her home for
the last 10 years, may have to get rid
of her flock because of a bet made
by a neighbor.
Mrs. Bertha Hurlbut, 900 South
Nineteenth street, who is to appear
before Judge Hugh Reid in County
Court Friday on a charge of violat-
ing the county chicken ordinance,
said in court last week when her
case was continued that she had
raised chickens for 10 years with
never q complaint.
She said there was actually no
complaint against her now, but a
neighbor had made a bet he could
make her get rid Of her flock, and
here she Is in court.
Ernest Ford, 912 South Eighteenth
street, also is scheduled to appear In
County Court Friday on a charge OF
violating the chicken law.
Judge Reid said the County Board
has been sentimental" in its war
time nonenforcement policy in re-
gard to the chicken law, and that
cases brought into court under this
policy are predicated on malicious
ness or i'll will between neighbors.
"The worst thing in the world is to
be bad neighbor," he said.
Judge Reid said he thinks the
ordinance is q good law, and that
more value is expended in feed than
comes back to the raiser.

Alexandra Group Plans
Tax Assessment Survey

A special tax assessment com.
mittee has been named by Ralph
kneeland. jr., president of the Alex
andria North Ridge Citizens Associ-
alton, to conduct survey of recent
tax assessment increases in the
North Ridge area and to consult
with Lewis Ansley, city tax assessor,
on the situation.
Mr.. Kneeland said the decision
to appoint such a committee was
made at meeting Of the associa-
ton following a talk by Mr.. Ensley
on the methods now being used to
appraise real estate.
Mr.. Kneeland declared the action
was not in protest against reason
able tax increases, but resulted
from the concern of members that
the increased assessments might re-
fleet inflated war values.
Many residents OF the Beverly
Hills area have reported receiving
increases in assessments ranging
from IS to IS per cent over last
year, and in some instances the new
assessments were based on values
$500 to $4,000 higher than the
actual cost of the properties pur-
chased in 1910 and 194l.
Ralph Fulghum is chairman of
the committee which includes A. E.
Chesser, L. j. Curington, Marion
B. West, Marvin F. Hall, R. P.
Rodgers, George Rye, M. B. Rey-
nolds, A. ]. S. Weaver and Carl w.
