In Retail Trade,
Census Shows
1o48 Business Study
Indicates 207 Pct.
Boost in D. G. Area

Suburban business establish.
ments have been getting more anc
more Of the Washington area re.
tail trade, although the city still
retains the lions share.
The Census Bureau today made
public the preliminary results o1
its 1948 business survey, showing
the picture then as compared with
1899. Although later figures are
to be released, the trends indicate
during this period should approx
mate the situation today, the bu-
reau said.
Here are some of the general
conclusions reached:
About one-quarter of every re-
tail dollar spent in the Metropoli-
tan Area goes to suburban bust
nesSes.
Area Trade Rises 2O7 Per Cent.
The volume of retail trade in the
District increased ITS per cent
while that for the whole area, in
Guiding the suburbs, amounted to
207 per cent. The National aver
age for other cities was a 200 per
cent increase. The suburbs alone
noted a 1868 per cent increase in
retail business.
In the field of private employ
ment. the suburbs accounted for
23,215 out Of the 125,484 working
in the Metropolitan Area in retail
wholesale and service establish
ments in 1948. Nine years before
the suburban businesses employed
10.418 out of total of 1896.
Here are comparative retail fig
ures for the city and it's environs
showing the 1948 and the 1889 vol
ume of business:
Washington, $1.1 billion anc
s403 million; Montgomery Coun-
ty, $l03.2 million and $24.3 mil
lion: Arlington, 1888 million anc
$16.4 million; Prince Georges
s78.7 million and $20.1 million;
Alexandria. $70.9 million and $l4.I
million. and Fairfax Gncluding
Falls church,, $27 million and $4.7
million.
Although the latest reports
placed FairfaX-Falls Church at
the bottom of the list in the VOL
ume of retail business, that area
was at the top in the percentage
OF increase. This is the way the
rate was reported:
Fairfax-Falls Church, 474 per
cent: Arlington, 469 per cent;
Alexandria, 399 per cent; Mont
gomery. 325 per cent; Prince
Georges. 292 per cent. and Wash
ington. ITS per cent.
Wholesale Volume Up.
The wholesale volume in the
District showed an even more
impressive growth. increasing 244
per cent in the period. Sales
reached a total of $1,195, 100, 900
in 1948. as against $347,SO0, 900
nine years earlier.
The service trades In the city
reported receipts of $8S million
in 1948. compared with 1855 mil
lion in 1889. Hotel receipts jumped
from STA million to $40 million.
In 1948, a total of $2O.2 million
poured into the tills of the city's
amusement business. There are no
comparable figures for 1889 avail
able.
Employment in the city was also
on the upsWing, the census
showed. Retail establishments re-
ported 69,368 paid employees dur
ing the census sample week in
November. 194S. In 1889, the total
was 50,838.
Wholesale houses employed 49,

Prince Georges Board
Weighs Budget Pleas
Before Tax Action

The Prince Georges County
commissioners today weighed citi-
zen pleas for budgeted services as
they prepared to set the 1851
rate of taxation.
More than 100 persons attended
a hearing yesterday at Upper
Marlboro to advocate passage OF
the principal budget sections as
proposed-for schools, the Health
Department, the mental health
clinic. recreation and libraries
If enacted intact, the new
budget would entail expenditures
of almost SIS million. or $911 ,000
more than the current record
figure.
Hopes Rise Won't Be Needed.
At one time the commissioners
said a 27-cent increase in the
tax levy might be necessary tc
balance such a budget. but some
held out hope yesterday that the
big rise would not be needed
The present rate is $197 per
500 valuation.
Harry w. McNamee, board
chairman. said the commissioners
want to analyze the recommended
tions received yesterday before
taking final action. possibly next
Tuesday.
The county stands to realize al
most $500,000 more revenue next
year, even with the same tax rate,
because of an increase in realty
assessments from $195 million to
$220 million. Also, it was dis
closed yesterday. the county will
receive more than 81 million from
outside sources, such as a share
in State income taxes. gasoline
and motor vehicle taxes and other
levieS.
School Appropriations.
Attention yesterday focused, as
usual, on the Board of Education's
request for school appropriations.
This year the amount asked of
the county is $2,531,522. That is
slightly less than one-half the
amount the board expects to re-
ceive directly from the State.
Among those advocating that
the school items remain un-
changed were DR.. Keith C. Harder
of Mount Rainier, chairman of
the School Board Advisory Com
mittee; Wesley c. Darling, presi-
dent of the county Council of
Parent Teacher Associations; Mrs.
Reuben Bogdanoff. president of
the county League of Women
Voters, and Walter F. Mulligan,
president of the county Civic
Federation.
DR.. Harder reported that Fed
eral aid soon may be forthcoming
to the county school system, al
though Commissioner McNamee
advised against counting on it in
time for this years budget. DR..
Harder urged county residents to
attend a mass meeting at 8 pm,
April Is, at Western High School,
to discuss measures pending be-
fore Congress, which would provide
aid to schools falling in range of
Government facilities.
Health Unit Seeks Rise.
About 25 persons spoke on be-
half of the school budget. A
smaller number urged the COM
missioners to approve the Recre-
alton Boards request for $44,338.
Others asked that the tax portion
covering operation of the county
library system be increased from
2 to 2la cents per 800.
The county Health Departments
request for $61 ,9O4. compared to
the present $4,000, also was rec
commended. DR.. Thomas S. Eng

crease is needed to provide an
additional public health nurse. a

The Miami times. [volume] (Miami, Fla.) 1923-current, 1950-08-19

Cause of this trouble is the
recent sale of the st. Paul's
Reformed Episcopal churrh
building by its reduced
White membership to the
Negro West Community
church. This church edifice
is located in a neighborhood
that is rapidly becoming all
Negro.
Things became very bad
last Sunday when the Rev.
Horace Hayden, pastor of
the Negro congregation, re-
ported to st. Paul's to hold
service for his own church.
Instead of a house of peace
he met a six-foot, 200 pound
White blocking the door
with others around him and
a new lock on the door.
Rev. Hayden called the
police after the defenders
of the building told him
there would be bloodshed if
he tried to enter. The police
said they could do nothing
at this time because of the
size of the crowd, and adj
vised him not to hold SER
vices on the steps.
This resulted in a court
appearance Tuesday in
which Rev. Hayden sought
possession of his new
church.
In doing this he found
himself right in the middle
of a series of legal entangle-
ments, most of them involv-
ing the Rev. Emanuel,
p as t or Of the sold
church and the man who sold
the church to the Negro
congregation.
1t seems that Rev. Eman-
uel is in the midst of a suit
filed against him by the
same people who are block
ing the church from the Ne
groes. These people claim
that the church vote which
approved the sale was illeg-
