MATTER OF TAX PAYMENTS
CHANGE FROM SEMI-AN-
.f1
NUAL To ANNUAL PLAN.
Commissioners to Give Hearing to All
Persons Interested-Peti-
ton OF Citizens.

It is understood the District Commission
ers will set a day on which they will hear
all persons interested in the proposition
that there shall hereafter be but one pay
ment of real and personal taxes a year.
The Board of Trade committee on taxa
ton and assessments, which favors the
two-payment plan, through its chairman,
Mr.. Jesse B. Wilson, has asked for hear
Ing upon the subject and it is said that
the Commissioners feel that such hearing
should be public one, and open to both
the advocates and tine opponents of the
proposition. Due notice will be given Of
the date of the hearing.
1t will be recalled that Congress at it's
last session provided that the semi-annual
payments of taxes due last November
should be omitted, and that the taxes for
the year ending June 80, 1901, should be-
come due and payable in May, 1901
Inc commissioners are said to favor a
continuance of this provision, believing
that, all things considered, an annual pay
ment OF taxes would be better for the in
terests of the public than semi-annual pay
ments. In support Of this position the
commissioners have received very largely
signed paper reading as follows: 1--WE, the
Undersigned citizens and taxpayers of the
District OF Columbia. being satisfied with
the present plan of the annual payment of
taxes, respectfully request that no change
be made therein
