Difficulties Outlined.

''In attempting to enforce the collection
of the per-passenger tax" the assessor add
ed. the District authorities would be en-
countered with the following difficulties:
1.-THE time when the tax should be paid is
not prescribed.
ut is not stated to whom the tax shall
be paid.
NO means IS arranged for ascertaining
the number of passengers carried across
the bridge, or, in other words how much
the railroad company shall pay.
There is no provision made for redress
on the part of the District of Columbia in
case tie railroad company does not pay the
tax.
There is no provision that interest shalt
accrue at so much per month In case of
failure to make prompt payment
Continuing Mr.. DarnieIle declared:
1T is obviously impracticable for the
District to cause to be counted the number
OF passengers on each car crossing the
bridge, and rs consequence the state
ment of the company must be accepted.
1T seems TO me that the best arrange
ment would be to require the company to
make each year a sworn return on or be-
fore the fst of February they are re
Quired to do with regard to their receipts
and for this return to be used a basis
of taxation, this office carrying such tax
in the personal tax accounts
The proposed bill provides that each and
every street railway company carrying
bridge recently constructed over the Po-
tomac river under the provisions of the
act of Congress approved February H.
1901, SHALL on or before the first day of
February in each year, make a report to
the assessor of the District of Columbia
OF the number of passengers transported in
the cars of this company over the bridge,
both ways, during the preceding year, end
ing January 81, and the companies shall
pay to the collector of taxes of the District
one-half of one cent for each passenger so
transported. The payment Is to be made
in May of each year following the date of
the report, and if such payment is not
made before the first day of June next en-
suing a penalty of per centum per month
shall accrue and be added to the principal
of the tax. If payment of the tax and
penalty is not made before the first day
of March next ensuing the collector of
taxes of the District is hereby authorized
and directed to levy upon, distrain, seize
and sell at public auction any real or per-
sonal property belonging TO the company so
falling to pay.
Section provides that all acts or parts
of acts inconsistent with the provisions of
this act are hereby repealed.

Assessor Submits Bill Providing for
Reports From Railways Carrying
Passengers Over the Structure.

Assessor II. II. Darnielle yesterday for
warded to the Commissioners the draft of
a bill providing for form of collecting the
tax of one-half cent for every passenger
carried by any street railway across the
new Highway bridge. The proposed meas
ure will probably be submitted to the cor
poratiou counsel for scrutiny as to form
after which 1t will go to Congress with a
recommendation for speedy enactment into
law
In his letter accompanying the draft of
bill Mr.. Darneflle said that the law of Feb
ruary II. 1901 dealt very meagerly with
the subject of collecting tax for street rail-
ways crossing the bridge. and to illustrate
his point he included a copy of the only
reference in that act to the question of
taxation. which reads
Each street railway company using said
bridge shall pay In addition to other taxes
as by its charter provided. half of one
cent for each and every passenger carried
across said bridge"

our Water supply Question settled.


A pleasant surprise of the week has
been the settlement of the water supply
controversy. so far as this can be done by
a mutual and entirely amicable and salts
factory agreement between Mr. Crowell
a the water board. Last Monday an
agreement was signed by Mr. Crowell the
owner of the Chestnut Hill and Sunset
Lake water systems on the one hand. and
by all the members Of the water board
for the village of Brattleboro on the other
hand, for the purchase by the village OF
Mr.. Crowels systems for the net sum
of practically $275,OOO. The amount of
cash to be paid is 1870 900. and tne viii
lagos releases Mr.. Crowell from his indebt-
edness of $4,000 for the Vernon street line
built to supply the Brattleboro Cabinet
company's factories. and assumes the cost
of the work on the Frost street line now
in process. of construction. 1t is agreed
also that a provision for the purchase by
the village of these water systems on
this basis shall be inserted in the bill for
the village charter amendments now pend
ing in the legislature. A call was posted
Monday for a special village meeting to
be held on Monday, the 18th, when the
village will be asked to ratify this agree
ment. The hearing before the legislative
committee on the proposed charter
amendments, which was set for Wednes-
day of this week. has been postponed for
two weeks, pending action by the village.
There is a general feeling of relief and
satisfaction that a way has thus been
provided for ending this long g-drawn out
controversy. Men identified with the large
business interests Of the village lent their
aid to this end. and after the initial steps
had been taken it was the work of only
short time to complete the negotiations
The members of the water board on their
part, standing for what they considered
to be the best interests of the village,
went to the limit of price which they felt
ought to be paid, and Mr.. CrowelI, on his
part, named the price finally accepted as
the lowest that he would consider under
any circumstances. The situation was
rapidly drifting towards one of open and
permanent division on this question and
it is cause for congratulation that mutual
concessions and mutual regard for the
| best good OF the community have carried
the day. We cannot afford to have our
present period of marked prosperity in
all our business interests disturbed or
curtailed by lack Of harmony and of
spirit of mutual good will and helpfulness.
The fact that, with the purchase of the
l-Crowell system, the village will at once
come into possession of ali the revenue
from our water supply has been an i'm
portant factor in convincing business men
that an agreement like that which has
been reached would be a desirable out
come of this water controversy. No doubt
is felt that, under wise management, the
present system can be fully completed
and, in due time, a sinking fund be es-
tablished which will take care of the
water bonds as they become due in fu-
ture years, and that direct taxation for
the building and operation of our water
system can then be avoided. as it could
not be in. any other event
