RAILWAY OBJECTS TO TAX.
Suit Against the District Over Al
legged Arbitrary Figures.

Oscar T. Crosby and Nicholas p. Bond,
as owners of a large amount of the bonds
issued by the Belt Railway Company. yes
terday instituted certiorari proceedings
against the District of Columbia to compel
it to produce in court all the records rela-
tive to the assessment of personal taxes
on the Belt Railway Company's stock for
the year ending June 90, 1899.
The complainants. after reciting the cir
cumstances connected with the sale and
purchase of the property of the Belt Rail-
way Company, state that in consequence
of their large purchase of stock they are
interested in the correct assessment OF
taxes upon the same for the current fiscal
year. 1t is alleged that the true meaning
of the act of Congress of 1877, under which
the assessment is made. is that the Com
missioners for the District, through the
Assessor, shall value the capital stock of
corporations in accordance with actual
facts and conditions, including revenues,
fixed charges and floating debt, and that
from this basis of valuation should be de-
Quoted the assessed value of the real es-
tate of the corporation within the District.
1t is alleged that only the excess. If any,
of the valuation of the stock over the val
uation OF the real estate forms the basis
of personal taxation, and that if the valua-
ton of the real estate is equal to or ex-
ceeds the valuation of the capital stock
there can be no imposition of personal tax.
Notwithstanding these facts and against
the objections Of all interested, the COM
plainants allege that the Commissioners,
through their Assessor, have by some ar
bitrary mental process not understood by
the petitioners, assumed the value of said
stock to be s1s6,2s1. which, they say, is far
in excess of its real value. To this. the
complainants say, has been added the
value of the real estate, Sls0.295. making
total OF 1885, $50, from which is deducted
$3.50 295, the real estate valuation, leaving
as the alleged basis of personal taxation
siS6261, and against this sum, thus arbi-
trarily ascertained, has been assessed a
tax of 81, 1893.
In conclusion, II is stated that the per
sonal tax for 1899, when all conditions are
such as to make the stock less valuable
than in 1898, exceeds the tax of last year
by a very large sum. The petitioners say
that the stock had no assessable value. as
is demonstrated by the fact that the whole
property has been sold at auction for $780,
600, sum sufficient to pay only part of
the preferred debt and only about 40 per
cent upon the bonds, leaving a large deficit
chargeable to the bondholders, which alone
shows the utter worthlessness of the stock.
