DENIAL BY STEVENS.

line, from Colon, after a brief stay on the

prospect of a decision for sea level canal,

OPPOSE GILLETT BILL
COMMISSIONERS SAY TAXES ARE
HIGH ENOUGH.

Unfavorable report Will be made by the
Commissioners upon the bill introduced In
the House April n by Representative GIL
lett. which proposed regulating thel as
sessment of real estate In the District of
Columbia" In brief the bill proposed an
amendment to section five of the United
States Statutes at Large by striking out
the words mot less than two-thirds Of IN
that portion of the section made into law
by act of Congress approved July /. 1902.
The portion of the act referred to reads
as follows:
That hereafter all real estatesin the Dis
trict of Columbia subject to taxation In
Guiding improvements thereon, shall be as
sessed at not less than two-thirds Of the
true value thereof and shall be taxed III
per centum upon the assessed valuation
thereof and the purpose of the amend
ment was to have District property as
sessed at its full value.
When the proposed amendment came to
the District building the papers In the case
were referred to Assessor Darneille. and
after stating that the existing law en-
powers and directs the board of assistant
assessors to assess real estate at whatever
value they may consider proper, providing
such valuation Is not less than two-thirds
or the true value, he sums up his opinion
or the proposed amendment In the follow
Ing language:
While it is true that the tax rate pre-
scribed In the District of Columbia, namely,
Ia per centum. Is lower than the rate per
centum In other large cities, It Is also true
that two-thirds of the true value of realty
is largely in excess of the assessment of
realty in other cities
In my opinion an assessment of two
lhlrds or the true value of realty in the
District of Columbia, and tax upon such
vaIuatlon OF one and one-half per cent, Is
ai mp, cnarge against real estate owners"
ms opinion has been approved by the
commissioners and report on the lines
suggested by Mr.. Darnelie will be forward
ed to Congress.
