B—2 #3% REAL ESTATE, REALTY TAXLIMIT - SOUGHTIN STATES Campaigns Under Way in 14—Income ‘Value Urged as Basis. Fourteen States already have cam- | paigns to secure at coming sessions of | their legislatures an over-all limita- | tion on the tax on real estate. In New York, property owner groups, | taxpayer groups and other organiza- tions concerned with more equitable | taxation for real estate have joined with the Real Estate Association of the State of New York through a newly formed State Committee for Real Estate Tax Limitation, in order 10 secure an amendment to the State constitution which would set a percent- age limitation on taxes on real prop- | erty. A widely representative group from about half the counties of the State met in Albany recently for the organization meeting of the commit- tee and local taxation limitation com- mittees are now being organized in all | parts of the State. | Active in Massachusetts. !

Plans Is Located in Rollingwood. ‘Thousands of visitors have thronged the “New American Home” in Rol- lingwood since it was opened last | week under sponsorship of the Gen- eral Electric Co., and Waverly Taylor Inc., builder. The home was praised by the public as well as leading Wash- ington realtors who inspected it. ‘The dwelling is one of several hun- dred which G. E. is sponsoring in al- most every section of the country. It is equipped with latest appliances, including sir conditioning, and rep- resents the latest in home design and plan. It has been furnished by ‘Woodward & Lothrop. Rollingwood, one of the newer de- | velopments in suburban Washington, is just across the District lme in Maryland, overlooking and adjoining Rock Creek Park. The site selected for the “New American Home"” is on | the corner of two winding streets, Rolling road and Vale street. On a slight eminence above the street grade, the house nestles securely among the oaks, beeches, dogwoods and poplars that tower above it. | In keeping with this rustic setting, | the architects, Waverly Taylor and J. F. Hogan, have chosen a modern adaptation of Norman architecture, blending walls of painted brick and half timbered gables of unpainted brick panels with a roof of dark red antique tiles, simulating “old hand- made shingles. The exterior timbering and porch woodwork is hand adzed and stained a dark maroon, with the | entrance door and window shutters contrasted with a livlier red. REPAINTING WICKER ‘Wicker furniture gets dingy-looking | on account of the dust that collects in | | the depressions of the weaving. Then, | | too, the paint wears off more quickly on the high points. To repaint such | | turniture, take it out to the garage or | somewhere where you can turn the | hose on it and give it a good scrubbing with soap and water and then hose it After it has thoroughly dried | paint it with a spray.
