In other words, the public utilities in the
District Of Columbia paid about II per
cent of the total amount Of taxes on
realty and personally collected in, the
year 1907.
In this connection the Commissioners
desire to renew the recommendation pre-
yiOusiy made to- Congress that the tax
upon street railway corporations be in
creased from 1 to @ per centum upon their
gross receipts with a specific provision
that the tracks of all the street railways
shall be excluded from assessment. A
thorough examination shows that a ma
jority of the original charters in tina Dis
riet of Columbia contain. specific pro-
Vision to this effect and 1t has meyer been
the custom of the assessors Office to re-
gard the tracks of street railways as real
estate for the purpose OF taxation, this
position being based upon the theory that
the tax upon the gross receipts of each
corporation is a franchise tax for the oc-
eupation Of the public streets.
