HYATTSVILLE TAX BASIS INCREASED 2 Reassessment of Real and Personal Property Brings Total to $3,000,000. Dec Special Dispatch to The Star. HYATTSVILLE, Md., June 20.— able basis of the corporation sville has been increased from $1,800,000 to practically $3,000,000, as the result of a reassessment of all real and personal property recently completed. The mayor and council have fixed the rate on the new assessment at 55 cents on each $100, which is 5 cents lower than the prevailing rate. This means that during 1925-26 the esti- mated receipts on account of general tax collections will be about $16,500 as against $12,000 collected during 1924-25. It is stated that based on the addi- tional assessment it would have been possible to have made the new rate 50 or even 47 cents, but it was nec- essary to levy $1,000 to pay the cost of making the new a ssment, $2,200 for repayment of loans, and $1,350 for the nev dillac fire truck. Councilm Charles D. chairman of the finance committee, who worked out the budget, believes | that, with strict economy, the money to be raised will be sufficient to place Hyattsville on a sound financial basis and that next year the rate of ta: tion can be reduced.

BALTIMORE, June 20.—Chestnut hunting will soon be a forgotten sport in Maryland within the next five years, according to Karn E. Pfeiffer, stant State forester. For within that time, unless nature comes to the aid of scientists, chestnut trees of the State all will be killed off, so far as bearing nuts is concerned, by the blight. At present there remain practically but few nut-bearing trees in the west- ern section »* the State. Not 50 long ago chestu. trees were to be found on every country lane and road in every patch of woods. The blight, according to Forester Pfeiffer, is an imported disease. It came from Europe, and was unheard of here until 20 years ago. Its presence was first discovered after a number of trees brought from Europe were | planted n Prospect Park, Brooklyn, ¥ ‘Within a short time chestnut trees in the neighborhood began to die off. Gradually the blight spread, and in this direction it has already reached the Carolinas and is still moving. The blight is* a fungus growth which encircles the tree and strangles it.

Amundsen’s story will be a minute-by-minute narrative of the most daring jump into the un- known ever ventured by man. Graphically he relates their sensations as the planes swept on and on over the desolate floes of jagged ice toward the Pole. Amundsen writes: “In the midst of the fog through which we flew at times we saw a double halo, in the midst of which the sun cast a perfect shadow of our plane. Those two multi-colored halos beckoned us enticingly into the unknown.” Further on he says: “Suddenly the mist whisked away and the entire panorama of polar ice stretched be- fore our eyes—the most spectacular sheet of snow and ice ever before seen to be described by man from aerial perspective. I stared out from the cockpit fascinated.” And then he goes on painting weird pictures of terrible battles with perils never before en- countered; dangers no human. being ever before attempted to conquer—writing with the in- spiration of personal experience in which the truth outshines the most vivid imagination of fiction. Quoting again from Amundsen: “We had already failed five times to get our only remaining plane off the ice. At last, after heart-breaking efforts of twenty days we had prepared a fairly smooth runway. We each felt that if we failed to rise we would be drowned. It was the most dramatic moment of my life.” Every chapter of the Amundsen story is full of just such hazardous encounters with death— interspersed with descriptions of Arctic splendor and grandeur which no artist has ever seen, and which Amundsen’s pen, with all the realism of personal experience, can only paint in words faintly expressive.
