U. S. ACES WANT HIGH PRICE TO

FLY FOR LOAN

Returned Fliers Ask $10,000 to Advertise Victory Loan

Issue. (Br Associated Prem)

WASHINGTON, March 19. Four

teen German airplanes, captured vy

American fliers in France, arrived at Baltimore today. They are to be used

In the victory loan advertising cam

paign. Five will be sent to Mineola, L. I., five to San Diego, Cal., and the

remaining four to New Orleans. . The Treasury Department is expert

encing difficulty in obtaining fliers to

pilot the machines. It was desired to obtain the services of American

aces Who achieved distinction over the battlefields of France. The fee

asked by the fliers, however, is almost

prohibitive, being $10,000 a week in

some cases.

When the promoters of the victory loan conceived the idea of using the German machines as a means of stim

ulating interest in the campaign, several of the "aces" who had returned from abroad were approached with offers to pilot the planes.

They were offered $1,000 a day or

,ouo a week for their services. This offer was refused and a counter proposition of $10,000 a week was submitted.

INCREASE IN MARKET VALUE OF

PROPERTY RESULTS FROM LAW

What is going to be'the effect of the new tax law, requiring a strict and honest 100 per cent valuation of real property, upon - real estate and buildings of Richmond? The consensus of opinion of the men in charge of the 1919 assessment is that the last valuation made was about 60 per cent of the real market value, so that the sheets will show a rise amounting to about 40 per cent of the real value of the property, or about 75 per cent of the last valuation. In other words, if you own a property set at $1,000 in the last valuation you may expect an assessment of about $1,500 or $1,600, and raises will be proportionate to this for all town property. The average residence property, on the last assessment, ran from $750 to $1,250, and the average is expected to run this spring from $1,000 to $2,000. Main street property and business blocks In the center of town have for many years been assessed at nearer their real value than the suburbs, so that the rise here will run, it is estimated, at from 25 per cent to 35 per cent, with some property left at its present valuation and a few valuations to be lowered. But out in the suburbs, they have on the average been enjoying n tax rating of not much more than half the real market value of their property, so that larger raises are to be expected there than in the business district. The work of assessment has barely started in Richmond proper. Township Assessor David Reed has not yet been able to get his full force to work. Part of the northwest part of town has been covered and five blocks along

Main street, but two men are needed for the northern part of' town. People in general are taking the In

creased valuations with understanding and good will, but now and then there is a strenuous objection raised to the placing of true market value on a bit of property. The assessors have a quick cure for this, however. As their instructions are to take all property .at true market value, they sometimes offer to buy the house for what they wish to assess it, and they haven't been able to buy any houses yet, Reed says.

The letter was signed "C. C. of C." which initials also appended to a, threatening letter received by Gov. William D. Stephens before the executive mansion at Sacramento was dyna- ' mited a year ago. This led the police to believe that the same persons were responsible for both explosions. Nothing had beea developed today ; to show whether the explosive was ' hurled at Mrs. Greenwood, whether she picked it up and it exploded in her hands, or whether she caused the -detonation by stumbling over it.
