Only half a dozen persons appeared and their cases were referred to A. Hempstone Griffith, county tax assessor, for investigation. It was stated that the commisisoners expect to render decision at an early date in all such cases, probably at their meeting next Tuesday. ‘The property owners who feel that their property has been assessed too Jow, it was stated at the office of the| county commissioners yesterday, are few, but two such cases, according to Charles Y. Latimer, clerk to the board, were recently. brought to the attention of the commissioners. ‘When Norman F. Danis, engineer employed by the Potomac Electric Power Co., received notice that his home between Conduit road and the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, about a mile beyond the District of Columbia line, had been valued for taxation pur- poses at $500, he notified the commis- sioners that the assessment was too Jow and that he wanted it raised to $2,500, stating that the building cost him $6,000. He was accommodated. ‘The other ‘exception was Dr. Beatrix A. Bickel of Glen Echo Heights, who informed the commissioners that a higher valuation should have been placed on her property, but no change, it was stated, has yet been made. | The commissioners received a com- smunication from the Kensington Wom- an’s Club indicating that organization to be opposed to any cut in the salaries of public school teachers of the county. i % U.

NEW YORK, April 14—Midway through his talk on “The Utility of the ‘Tariff,” Robert Lincoln O'Brien, chair- man of the United States Tariff Com- mission, requested newspaper reporters to withdraw from a meeting of the Na- tional Catholic Alumni Federation last night and continued only after they had left. ‘The forepart of his discussion was devoted to what O'Brien termed the evils of a policy of self-sufficiency in national life. ~He emphasized the United States still was selling more goods abroed than it bought. He assailed the “buy national” move- ment, declaring it invited reprisals which would react seriously against certain domestic industries. He said the Government, through its tariff policy, should work out any restrictions to be made on the purchase of goods from foreign countries and that it should not be a matter for settlement by individuals.
