County Officials
Press for Standard
Rates on Taxicabs

The Prince Georges County COM
missioners today pushed plans to
set up a proposed uniform system
OF taxicab zones and rates through
out the county to be submitted at a
public hearing some time this month
In Upper Marlboro.
Date of the hearing, to which rep
resentatives of taxicab companies,
the State Public Service Commission
and the general public will be in
vited, will be announced later.
In announcing their intention to
establish such system, the board
declared that the action will be
taken despite the failure of most of
the county taxicab firms to send in
their present rate schedules.
Only Three Filed Rates.
The commissioners said only three
OF the approximately nine txicab
companies in the county have sub
mitted rates. although the deadline
for receiving them was extended one
week from October to October 8.
Decision to establish a uniform
system of rates was taken last
month after complaints by county
residents of ''gouging" on the part
of many cab drivers.
At the same time, Board Chair
man William A. Carson said the
commissioners probably will seek
authority at the next session of the
State Legislature to set up a hack
inspectors office and to license cabs
in the county.
Road Examiners Named.
L. Clinton Donaldson, Clarence
L. Tucker and Samuel o. Wiiiett
were appointed road examiners to
determine whether the following
roads shall be taken over by the
county:
Armstrong lane for distance of
three-fourths of a mile south from
the Marlboro pike and the road be-
ginning at Mitchell's Cottage, / mile
east of Ritchie on the Ritchie-Marl-
boro road, and extending south IN
miles to Barnett's Community Mar
ket on the Almhouse road.
Trial Magistrate Arthur P. Owens
reported collection of $4,540.95 in
fines and costs during August, Of
which the commissioners receive
$2,760.
The commissioners also authorized
Linden Briscoe, clerk to the board,
to advertise for bids on street con-
struction in Dillon Park.

High Attendance
Is Attributed to
Separation Centers

Attendance at USO centers in
Washington has increased Is per
cent since the surrender of ia
pan, George o. Draper, area rep
resentative, estimated today in
an appeal for support of USO
services through the Community
War Fund.
USO centers report that their
attendance in September was from
10 to 100 per cent higher than for
September, 1914.
Mr.. Draper attributed the in
crease to the large number of sepa-
ration centers in the vicinity. He
also noted that the number of serv-
lcemen travelling through Washing
ton is rising steadily. Soldiers visit
ing the USO lounge at Union Sta
ton rose from l44,297 in July to
l56,010 in September.
Largest Single Share.
The USO will receive the largest
single share among the 162 agencies
to benefit from the $4,970 900 Com
munity War Fund campaign. Al
though the drive enters its final
week today, contributions reported
to date total only 1900 ,876.36.
Combat troops on their way home
from overseas will be more in need
of entertainment and hospitality
when they stop in Washington than
servicemen regularly stationed here,
Mr., Draper observed
Far from curtailing its services,
the USQis opening new clubs in the
area, he Said. A new USO club soon
will be opened at the United States
Naval Test Center on the Patuxent
River in Maryland.
Z Z Halifax Urges Support.
Lord Halifax, the British Ambassa-
dor, urged members of the staffs of
the British Embassy and of British
missions in Washington to support
the campaign as they opened a one
week campaign today.
Despite the fact that British War
Relief for the first time will not
benefit from a Community War
Fund drive, he expressed the hope
that British workers would equal
their record last year when they
raised the largest share of the money
donated by the United Nations
group.
Herbert Willett, executive director
of the fund, reported that the
budgets submitted by member
agencies were pruned from S6,200,-
00o to s4,970.0o to keep the appeal
within the ability of the community
to give.
Coleman Jennings, vice chairman
of the drive. termed it "a labora-
tory example of what living together
really means" F-;,f

@. Why give money to the YMCA
when people pay to use its facili-
ties?
A. The Community War Fund
furnishes less than IL per cent of
the money spent by the YMCA.
Those who can afford it pay their
own way and little more. Boys
who can't pay also get to swim and
play in the gym because the COM
munity helps out. Every agency
earns as. much of its own cost as 1t
can, Rse Community Was Fund
only makes up the oencit.
@. Why include in the commun-
ity-wide drive agencies catering to
special groups?
A. Every agency benefiting by
the community appeal serves large
group in the community, and has
its friends and supporters. The
Community War Fund is COM
bined appeal which all contributors
cs-l use to save time, money and

Fights
Tax Changes
In Arlington
100 Pct. Assessment
Plan Meets Nearly
Solid Opposition

The Arlington Chamber of Com
merce went on record last night as
opposing plan to increase county
real estate assessments to 100 per
cent Of the fair market value.
With only one dissenting vote, the
chambers % members, including
the 5 members Of the Legislative and
Taxation Committee, voted in favor
OF making next years, county real
estate reassessment on the present
basis OF 40 per cent of the market
value. *e. >-
Formerly the committee had rec
commended the 40 per cent rate to
the Executive Committee and the
Board of Directors of the organiza-
ton, but it was felt the question
should be referred to full member
ship meeting.
Arguments Listed.
Thomas w. Phillips, committee
chairman. gave report discounting
major claims OF those supporting a
change.
The report argued that an in
crease in tax valuation does not
broaden the tax base; that such an
increase is not necessary to get
additional revenue; that an increase
in tax assessment with a correspond
ing decrease in tax rate, would mean
an annual loss of approximately
$685. 900 to the county in tax revenue
from approximately $4,000, 900 worth
of utility property, inasmuch as it
would continue to be assessed at the
40 per cent rate prescribed by the
State Corporation Commission.
Other points brought out by the
committee were: If the assessment
Is increased and the rate lowered, a
low tax rate would be vulnerable to
minority pressure seeking increased
tax rate to provide revenue for prof.
ects they might be fostering; II
property is assessed in what Is now
a substantially inflated market, it
might bring a tremendous sales re-
sistance for county property" when
inflated values end.
Borrowing Limit Set.
The committee also pointed out
that the argument for an increase
to full valuation in order to raise
the county's borrowing power lacks
merit, because the county now has
q borrowing ability of approximately
$l3, SOC, 900, with not much possibility
for taxpayers approving such heavy
Indebtedness.
Howard B. Bloomer, jr.. publisher
of the Arlington Sun, advanced the
only arguments for an assessment
increase to full market value.
Mr.. Bloomer pointed out that
the State constitution provides that
property shall be assessed at a fair
market value and that the 40 per
cent basis on utility property is not
a law but an administrative decision
of the State Corporation Commis-
sion.
Fears High Rate.
Mr.. Bloomer said under the pres
entI arrangement, If the tax rate is
incfeased in the future to provide
revenue for the many capital i'm
provements the county needs, it
would reach such a high figure as
TO be deterrent to prospective
purchasers of county property for
home and business purposes.
Members of the committee making
the report. in addition to Mr.. Phil
lips, were Claude o. Thomas, Oren
r: Lewis, Allan Adams and James
Sinlmonds.
