D. {. 10 Hold
Tax Rate on
Real Estate
Congress Action
On 1860 Budget
To Give Surplus

The District Commissioners
today voted to hold the real
estate and personal property
tax rates at the present levels
for the current fiscal year.
The $241.S million budget
recommended yesterday by
House-Senate conferees is ex-
pected to produce an antici-
pated 100000 surplus at the
end of the 1860 fiscal year. The
Commissioners therefore ruled
out a tax increase.
Another factor, according to
a report on the Commissioners
action, is that property owners
are expected to pay an addi-
tional 81 million in taxes as
a result of completion of the
city'S reaSSessment program.
Present Rates
The present tax rates are
$3.50 per 500 of assessed valu-
alton for real property and 50
per 500 for personal property.
The real estate levy was
raised from $500 several years
ago.
In their report, however, the
Commissioners warned that it
is probable" that the city will
have to increase some taxes to
finance the budget for the fiscal
year beginning next July /.
THE amount of such in
creases will depend upon the
size of the budget that may be
necessary" the Commissioners
said. The Commissioners added
that the public is assured of
hearings on any tax increase
proposal.
Increased Revenue
A budget breakdown showed
that the $3.50 real estate levy,
applied to an assessment of
more than $1.9 billion as Of
July 1. 1858. brought in more
than 45.650.000 for the fiscal
period which ended last month.
This same rate, figured on an
estimated assessment of nearly
$2.2 billion as of the first Of
this month-pluS supplemental
assessments to be added this
year-will produce about SIS
million more in tax money.
On the 50 personal property
rate, about So million was col
lected for the past fiscal year.
The same levy, applied to an
increased assessment base. is
expected to bring in about
$4,000 more for fiscal 1860.
Quick Passage Seen
Meanwhile, quick congress
Sional passage, possibly by to-
morrow, is in sight for the
Districts appropriation bill.
Houses e ate conferees,
headed by Senators Pastore,
Democrat of Rhode Island. re-
solved their differences in less
than two hours yesterday.
The completed version of the
bill was mostly the way the
Senate District Appropriations
Subcommittee wanted it. The
settled amount was SAL million
higher than the House recon-
mendation and only $413,326
less than the Senate urged.
The total was still SAT- mil

SIS Million Payment
The Federal payment to the
Districts general fund was
fixed at $25 million. This is
81 million less than the full au-
thorized Federal share of the
National Capitals expenses. It
is also So million less than the
Senate originally proposed.

Eiabeths grandfather, Tin the snoot' if he should
ever happen to set foot in that windy city.
But the attention of Chicagoans, and Americans
generally, will certainly be divided between the
Queen and the ship which hears her. Designed for
a royal yacht in Peacetime and hospital ship
in time of war; the Britannia is the biggest vessel in
private use anywhere.
This is by no means the Britannica sole distinc-
ton. She is unusual ship in many ways. For
example, like the Queen skirt, she has been weight
ed to behave well in any weather. Elizabeth is in
no danger of undergoing the unpleasant experience
of her great-grandmother Queen Alexandra. Sailing
aboard the old Victoria and Albert with her husband
Edward VII to meet the Gar of Russia in the Baltic
Sea- the Queen had just settled down to tea in the
main drawing room of the yacht. Suddenly Queen
Alexandria still in the chair, sailed across the room
with teapots, cups, saucers, marmalade and hot muf
fms flying after her. She I'M ured her ankle and it
was years before she would climb the yacht again.

which flashes signals to the crew.
But while all may be quiet on shipboard, matters
not SO serene elsewhere. The British press has
been loud in its criticism of the vessel ever since its
launching in 1853. To begin with, the ship was
scheduled to cost So million. When it was finally
completed its cost came to we'll over So million. On
top of that the ship costs up to $ll thousand week
to operate.

When Philip took the Britannia to the Mediter-

A few years ago all young
people Of junior high age in
Southeast Washington's Ana
costa and Congress Heights
sections were attending Kra-
mer Junior High. Naturally
It was crowded and a new
Junior high was badly needed.
In 1854 a site was chosen
and the building was started.
On February 6, 1856, Charles
Hart Junior High was opened
at Sixth street and Mississippi
avenue Sc. The building
contains 80 classrooms. a
cafeteria, a library, an audi
forum, two gyms. recreation
rooms, a health suite and a
dental clinic. Enrolment is
now more than 1000.
Hart was named after a
man who devoted most of his
life to the education of young
people. Charles Hart was for
many years principal of East
ern High School, where he
established the reputation Of
being a great leader in hui
manitarianism, discipline and
education.

Other activities at Hart
are the glee club, the stamp

If you had been a visitor
at Hart during a recent home

seen students hard at work

sponges. Hart has the usual
amount of custodial help, but
each year the students con-
duct their own cleanup CAM

dent Council. All home room
sections competed for the
cleanest room and winners
received cash prizes.
The cleanup campaign
makes students feel they are
more than just young people

gives them a chance to make
the school look the way they
want it to look.
