structure to replace that destroyed by
fire vas given out this mornihg.
The building. however. Is to be erect

This would indicate the abandonment
of rebuilding on the site at the north
west corner Of Baltimore and Calvert

located. The old building was badly ar

doris and stairways. and the rooms were
so arranged that little natural light

Great Structure.
To provide quarters for all offices sew
eral rooms in the Calvert Building were
leased
A plan under consideration is to put
up a magnificent and thoroughly mod
ern building OF eight or ten stories that
will take up the entire south side OF
Camden Street. from Howard to Eutaw,
and run back to line near the iron
gates leading TO the railroad tracks.
This would give frontage Of about 1855
feet and a depth OF 100 feet

which the ancient Camden Station is
now located. IL would include the open

CITIZEN DENOUNGES
PROPOSED TAX ON FLATS
Mr. Phillips Declares New Scheme a
Device Of Assessment Under
False Name.

= Commissioners Macfarland received a
communication this morning from S. L.
Phillips. Of 1871 New Hampshire Avenue.
IN which the writer denounced the pro-
pOsal of the District Commissioners to
Jay uniform tax of S. on all apart
-Inents In houses containing more than
five apartments. He criticised the prop
osition as being in the character OF a
double tax. and declared that to charge
= year for each apartment under the
spretense OF an Inspection" would be "a
transparent device Of taxation under a
false name"
Mr.. Phillips pointed out in his letter
that there are in the District a large
number of apartments that rent from
sl2 10 500 month. while there are also
"a good many that bring so to s1o0 a
month. In order TO make the tax equa-
sble the writer thinks sliding scale"
should be adopted. such as a 81 tax for
an apartment renting at $40 "A month.
s. for a $50 fat. and 50 on
In remarking on the proposition 20
tax apartments that have already paid
their full taxes with other improved real
estate. the writer says such a procedure
would be a double tax. and he can see
10 distinction between a man renting
his house to ten tenants and another
man renting his 70 n single tenant This
he says in speaking OF the unfurnishcd
house and apartments. but admits that in
che case Of furnished apartments there
IS difference. as the man who lets fur
ipished rooms makes unusually large
profits"
Mr.. Phillips also thinks that the need
OF frequent inspections IS not so great
as to necessitate the raising OF so much
extra money TO pay the salaries Of in
spSctors.
