NEW SECTIONS INTRODUCED
Annual License Tax of $25 Imposed
Upon Contractors.
PRESENT PROVISION INVALID
Amplification of Law Regulating the
License Fees Required of
Claim Agents.

A comprehensive bill proposing the fur
ther regulation of certain licenses in the
District. prepared by Assessor II. II. Dar-
nielle, was submitted to the Commissioners
today, and should they approve II as to
fern it will go forward to Congress early
next week with recommendation for
favorable action Accompanying the draft
of law Mr.. Darnielle sent an explanatory
letter In which he stated the reason for
need of each new section
Section 1 provides only for the imposition
of a charge of 30 cents for each. lot or par
eel of land mentioned in any advertisement
by which nonresident property owners are
legally notified that work toward the abate-
ment of certain nuisances must be done
The stated reason for thus apportioning the
advertising charge is that it has been found
impractic3ble to do so In any other way
with any degree of fairness.
Section reads follows:
THAT an annual license tax of $25 is
hereby imposed upon contractors. Every
person, firm or corporation, who submits
bids and constructs buildings or other
structures. sewers. grading, excavations,
railways. vessels any public or private
Improvement involving the employment of
labor or building material, snail be con-
sidered a contractor, but this section shall
not apply to merchants, jobbers or subcon-
tractors doing business under a licensed
contractor"
