STREET CAR TAX RAISE URGED
Assessor Thinks Levy on Gross Earn
ings Should Be Increased.
Two Per Cent Added to Present Rate
Would Yield District $4,000
More Revenue.

In agreement with the policy of the
board Of assistant assessors TO increase
the taxes Of certain of the public utility
corporations, Assessor E. W. w. Griffin
said yesterday that he is seriously con-
sidering the ACCESSIBILITY Of recommending
to the Commissioners an increase Of 2 per
cent on the gross earnings OF the street
railway companies
The tax paid by the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company and the Capt.
tai Traction Company for the year 1907
amounted in the aggregate 10 $15S,65Sle.
which sum Mr. Griffin regards as made
Quate, IN view OF the value OF the fran
chises Of these companies. Mr.. Griffin IS
Of the opinion also that the present tax
rate is too small because Of the fact that
the tracks Of the street railway com
panies are not taxed as real estate. but
are included in the personal tax paid on
gross receipts.
Ap increase in the present tax rate
would mean an added revenue 10 the
District Of $4,000, which Mr.. Griffin thinks
is not unfair when 1t Is considered that
the national banks and trust companies
Of the District are paying a per cent
tax
This proposed recommendation OF the
assessor in regard 10 the street car com
panies Will require Congressional action.
as it is not within the province Of the
board Of assistant assessors, as in the
case Of the increase in the assessments OF
the properties Of the Pennsylvania and
Baltimore and Ohio railroads and the gas
companies
As the recommendation has not been
made officially to the Commissioners. the
latter made no statement concerning II.
No word has as yet been received from
the gas companies, the railroad COM
panies, or the Potomac Electric and
Power Company in regard to the pro-
posed increase in their assessments.

ali rejoice in the Lord while we celebrate
this festival in honor of the Blessed Viz
gin Mary"
The vigil Of the feast Is observed as a
day OF fasting and abstinence.
