Tax CAllAcff0ns.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE COLLECTOR.
Collector Cooks annual report for the fiscal
year ended June 3Oth, 1885, shows that the
total taxes collected nom all sources, including
licenses, dog tax, fees, penalties, &C., footed up
$29,626.0s by acts OF Congress on the Pearson
does not include collections on account Of
special Improvement tax which aggregates
$114, 357.29 additional.
Mr. Cook states "The large arrears. balance
carried on the books of this office on account Of
both real and personal property, is more appa-
rent than real Almost the entire amount on
1881, is based on arbitrary assessments Of par
ties supposed to be possessed at the time of val
liable personality. and falling to make return
sonal examinations BY this his " once, as
Of their speciaI auaIifctions nom other
departments of the District government, have
developed the fact that these arbitrary assess
sessed had nothing which could be legally dis
trained to satisfy these accounts. Some provi-
sion OF law should be asked for whereby the
Commissioners would be empowered to inquire
into, and when satisfied OF the facts above
stated, to cancel these accounts. and thereby
rear balance on account of real estate tax It can
be said that much Of It is predicated
on property owned by the United States, Dis
trict OF Columbia, churches. asylums and col.
leges exempt by law, yet assessed and taxes
carried out against said assessments on the tax
ledgers as Indebtedness, which should be au-
dited, II found as represented, cancelled by the
same provision OF law, and the actual tax in
debtedness shown.
One or two bills have recently been presented
to Congress looking to more effective modes of
tax collections so as to forestall this delin-
quency, which heartily endorse, except the
proviso attached, which says that the collector
shall first endeavor to distrain personal effects
to satisfy real estate tax. The seeking OF per-
sonal effects to satisfy the tax thereon is at
tended with 80 many endorsements and de-
lays and with such barren results, generally,
that am satisfied that delinquency In real es-
tate will be increased rather than diminished
by the provision"
