At hearing before the Commissioners
yesterday objection was made to section
GS of the proposed license law for the Dis
trict of Columbia. George W. Evans, man
ager of the National Rifles Armory, repre-
senting the owners and managers OF sew
eral public halls in the District, presented
the matter TO the Commissioners and made
= strong plea for the revision of the section
m question.
Section 6S of the proposed law reads as
follows:
THE proprietor lessee, or manager of
any theatre having stage and movable
scenery, used for the purpose of acting,
performing. or playing any play, farce, in
terlude, opera, or other theatrical or dra-
matte performance, or any scene, section
or portion Of any play. farce or drama OF
any description for gain, shall pay a tax or
s10o annually Provided. That licenses may
be granted for theatrical performances for
one week on the payment of 500 or for
less than week on the payment of 80, and.
provided further. that the proprietors of
buildings other than theatres where eXhi
billions. lectures, or entertainments of any
description are conducted for gain. must
first secure the approval OF the Building
Inspector to the public safety, and shall
pay license tax of s10G annually. or for
less period as follows: Three dollars per
day, so for the first week. and s. for each
subsequent consecutive week. And. pro
vided further, that for entertainments. con-
certs. or performances of any kind given IN
church premises, where the proceeds are
intended for church or charitable purposes,
and where no rental is charged no license
shall be required
The objection TO the provision, as set
forth by Mr.. Evans rests upon The fact
that theatres and public halls are put in
the same category, so far as the license
tax is concerned II was stated by Mr..
Evans that the principle of putting a
license on public halls was commendable.
and he and those whom he represented he
said. are n favor Of it. We are not OBJ
jecting 10 the tax. but the equity Of the
amount as compared with the theatre.
Ii was then explained that the theatre
is open every night. and sometimes every
afternoon. where shows are present. for
the personal gain of the houses in ques
tion. II the case of public halls. ii was
Contended that the majority of entertain
ments held in them were OF charitable or
semi charitable character. Benevolent or
ders. civic societies. and other organiza-
lions occupy them. usually for one evening
and the proceeds go into funds for bene-
fetal purposes. Mr. Evans stated that out
OF 100 entertainments held In the National
Rifles Hall, not more than fifteen could be
said to be for personal gain to the house.
The Commissioners exhibited great in
terest in the subject. and il is understood
that they will review the subject and pos
sibly recommend a change. Mr.. Evans was |
asked by the Commissioners what rate OF |
license he thought would be equitable He /
replied that if the theatres We're charged |
S100 public halls should be assessed $50 !
per annum
