the power 20 tv aad ceiAz azs IN ne support " Alie

We have that this special power was granted by
the charter Of 1920 and above the power OF gal
taxation 10 the extent Of quarters Of per centun

There was therefore no occasion its repetition here
except for the that provision had been made
in favor Of the pabic schools y authorizing poll tax
and them II the poll tax, that tax aided BY the
ordinary general fund, intended 10 be the sole
means Of establishing, supporting, aud endowing the

intention Of Congress- notwithstanding the eeaton OF the
poll tax TO continue ia the corporation the powers granted
by the charter OF 1920 to lay aud collect further special
tax for the support OF the public schools and above
the general taxation Of three quarters Of Per centu

Washington. Sept. g 1885


SIR Tho question submitted to nae by your commit
tee | understand to be- Whether over and above the
existing taxation of treeqarters of per cent upon
the assessments Of real and personal property " Is com
potent for the corporation if il shall be deemed expeI
emit to lay and collect special tax graduated upon such
assessments, for the support of the public schools
shall, of course, abstain from any remarks upon the
expectancy OF the proposed measure and confne myself
to the question of power under the charter
By the Tth section of the charter OF 1920 IL is provided
that the corporation sha have full power and author
ty to lay and collect taxes upon the real and personal
property within the said city provided that tax shall
DC iad upon real property at higher rate than three
quarters of one per centun the assessment valuation
thereof eot for The sporzl purposes hereiler prorid
Among the special purposes hereinafter yroosauf is the
following:
" The said corporation shall also have pswer and an
thority to provide ur the establishment and snpernend
ence OF public schools, and to en,ow the same 5
Under the charter OF 1890 therefore, il seems beyond
question that there power and authority to provide
by special tax, and above the three of one
per ccntum, for the establishment supcntenience and
endowment Of public schools. 4
BY the charter 81 1873 the charter of 1870 w ptin

Of May, 1913, or until Congress- by law determine 9TH
erwise, 'wh the alterations additions explanations
and amendments set forth in the said last dated charter
Among these alterations, &c, is a grant of power
'to lay and collect school tax upon every free Whit
male citizen OF the age OF twentyone years and upwards
of one dollar per annum
IL the subject Of taxation for tho public schools were
not an and otherwise referred in this new charter
il might well be argued that the poll tax however mani
testify inadequate was the only special tax for their sup
