No Thought Of
Rationing Clothes
Declares Harman
The Ardmore War Price and
Rationing Board has received olli-
cial wOl'd that there is no inten-
tion or thought of rationing cloth-
ing now or at any fixed date.
Declared Henry R, Harman,
chairman of the Board, the na-
tion's textile supplies and produc-
tive capacity al'e moz'e than ample
for any conceivable rate of con-
sumption and only large - scale
hoarding would make rationing
necessary. The only apparent rea-
~on why rationing- of clothing
might become necessary would be
hecause of excessive huying and
hoarding of clothing hy the gen-
el'al pUblic. There is no reason
for the panic buying of clothing
which is now going on In some
places.

To and Fro He Goes
Candidate HENRY A, SMITH, Jr,
After nearly a year overseas, he
reWms to America to go through
Officers' Training School.
It was almost exactly this time
last year that the Army sped him
across the seas, a five weeks' sail
landing him in Ireland on St: Pat-
rick's Day il\ the morning, a good
time for any man to arrive in the
Emerald Isle.
There COl'poral Henry A. Smith,
Jr., yclept "Hank", stayed until
last morrth, When he was bid pack
his kit once more, thil! time for a
return journey. and happy lad he
was to see Lady Liberty in New
York Harbor last week-end.
The purpose of the hegira was so
that "Hank" would ~o through the
Officel's' Candidate School at Fort
Lee, Va., an appointment which
had been diverted in 1941. as a rush
call came for good qual'tel'masters
fO!· overseas and the lieutenancy
which was in sigtlt at that lime had
to be postponed until the more
pressing work had been accom·
plished.
Henry was inducted in November
of 1941, hence was only three
months in the Service befOre he
was tumbled aboard ship, and it
wasn't long before he was mad I' a
COI·pol·a!.
After ten weeks' schooling, he
will probably be going" aCI'oss the
big pond once again, nobody being
more experienced in that respect
and' none more immune than he
from~Jhal de mer.
Henry, who is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Henry A. Smith, 21 Windsor
av., was born in Narberth and Is
one of the Borough's most PopUlar
young men.
At sessions to be held In the
afternoon and evening, speakers
will cxplain the A. B. C. of garden-
ing for thOse who are making
their first attempt at growing
vegetables.

Business Council Solicitor Cites Four Examples
Where Increases Are Recommended; Claims
It Would Be An Injustice At This Time; Letter
Is Sent To Councilman Carr
In a six-page letter denouncin~ the attempt to incr,e~se the
tax burden of merchants during wartime, John E. Flynn, soliCItor for
the Narberth Business Council, gave four examples this week where
assessment increases ranging from 12 1/2 to 65 percent have been
recommended for business properties.
Bigger Boro Due,
Says 'Dick' Blue
"Dick" Blue has sent along
his compliments regarding the
Narberth Gift Box, but the
committee has culled that part
of the letter which covered the
unavoidable delay in reporting
I'eceipt, on t he score that no
Service Man need explain ,that
he does not always have the
opportunity to do what he
wants to do at the lime he
wants to do It.
"Dick" thinks Narberth is
due foJ' a rise In population
after the War and also says
some other interesting things,
as follows;
I must try to think of how tu
thank the Biggest Little Town
in America l'nough for YOUI'
wonderful Christmas box of so
many well-chosen gifts, Which
I might add is an impl'essive
job. Really there is no way
possible that I could describe
the feeling that came over me
when 1 looked at all those swell
presents. It is easy to sec that
thel'e was more than a lot of
planning behind all this. It sUre
gave me a feeling- of pride to
know that I was from a town
where thl' people We I'e pulllllg
for you and intel'ested in their
!Joys.
No other fcllow in my entil'e
outfit can show anything from
his hometown to compare with
your gifts and the thought he-
hind them. Believe me, I hope
and pray that the day Is not
fiu' off when I too can take a
seat in that citizens' commit-
tee of a great little town with
a heart and I certainl)/ intend
to try and make myself in the
future a real active citizen of
Narberth.
I feel sure that you will ftnd
quite a post-war migmtlon to
Narberth it' e\'el'yone is im-
pl'essed the wa.v the men out
here were. In closing I want to
thank you once more and say
I'm sure looking fOlward to

PRICE FIVE CENTS
His letter was addressed to Henry
P. Carr, chairman of the finance
committee of th(' BOI'ough of Nar-
berth.
The solicitor for the Business
Council took strong exception to
the methods employed in trying to
raise assessments of business prop-
erties. He referred to a meeting
attended by representatives of Bor-
ough Council, the School Board, the
tax collector and the assessol'.
"It seems to me that at a meeting
of such Importance it might have
!Jeen advisabe to have called in
some representatives of the taxing
puhlic. CCl'lainly when it became
obvioUs that thp entit'e tax struc-
tUre of the business area was to be
over-turned. it would at least have
heen wise to consult with some of
the repr('sentatives of the husiness
area,"
The Business Council's solicitor
referred to a lettcr he I'eceived
fl'sm Carr;
"Certainly anyone who has been
a t all cOncel'ned with the levying
of taxes 01' the assessment of prop-
el'lics must be aware that undor no
Cil'cumstances can an increase o!
from 12'" pl'rcent to 65 per'cent in
one year be justified. I can lmag'ine
the dismay th:!! would b'Weep the
community if suddenly wit hout
warning the tax l'ate was incn'ased
in SUCh a mannel·...
In the latter part of his letter the
solicitor told Carr:
"CertainlY you must agrep. that
thel'e could not have been a worse
time to inCrease taxes on business
properties by as much as' even $1.
In the fil'St place, there are foul' or
five vacant business' propertios In
Narberth now, one of them .being
vacant solely because the merchant
could no longer ~et goods to sell.
"The present position of the SUl'-
viving mel'chants Is not to be en-
Vied. They are opel'atin~ under
price ceilings, their labol' costs

Solicitor Flynn gave the caBe his-
tory of the following four proper-
ties on which absessment increases
have bppn recommended to the
Montgomery County Board for the
Revision and Assessment of Taxes."
1. Max's Market, 227-229 HavPr-
ford avo
This pl·opel·ty had be"n con-
tinually assessed at $8.000.00 from
1934 up to and including 1942. DUI'-
ing" that time there ha\'e been three
different Assessors in Narberth.
You will also note that although
nine years passed. no allowance
was ever made for dep-reciatlon.
SUddenly in 1943 tb,~llalue ~.,.
raised to $9,000.0Q, or:. ~ in<:reas~,
of 12''''~. The building had in no
way been improved and no reason
appears fOI' such an increase.
2. The White propert~·, 222 Ha\'-
erfol'd avo
In 1932, when the present As-
sessor was also functioning as As-
sesSOr, this property was assessed
by him as being then worth $13.-
500.00.
In 1934, the County Commission-
ers f'mployed Thomas K. Ober, 3rd.
a Civil Engineer, to make a sur-
vey of the business areas of
Narberth, for assessment purposes.
I am advised that Mr. Ober had
likewise been used for the same
purposes in other parts of the
County. I am likewise advised that
he spent over a month In the Nsr-
berth business area. He measured
the lots and buildings. considered
the types of buildings, their use,
the value of the land and the de-
preclatlon of the buildings. I have
before me both his work sheets .and
a summary of his work covering
some seventy properties. He placed
a then value on the property of
$23,850.00, or on a 50% assessment
basis; an assessment of $11,925.00
would have been justified.
Eight years later this same prop-
erty. In 1942, was being asseslIf'd
at $11.000.00. Considering the de-
preciatlon. this value does not seem
out of line.
In 1943, however. the assessment
was Increased to $18,000.00. an. In-
crease of over 65% in one year al-
though no improvements justified
the increase.
S. The Davis property. 224-226
Haverford avo
From 1932 to 1939 three ap-
praisers. the present appraiser be-
Ing one, assessed tljls property at
$8fOO.OO. In 1939 .some improve-
ments were made And In 1940 the
assessment was irlcreased to $9,-
000.00. This Increase would appear
to be justified by t;he Improvements
that were made:
In 1943, althoumhthere had been
no further impt:Ovements. the as-
sessment -was l/icreased $1%.000.00,
or an Increase of 331-3%.
4. The RickUn propefty, 203·205
Haverford avo
The history of this assesBInent Is
likewise interesting. Aftei' the new
store. 'WtUl built In. 1941, the assess-
ment' ~ap,t at· $10,000,00. This
figure WIUI.• arrived .lI,t; nat Iby guess-
