BOSTON, Aug. 1A-Every city in New
England today feels the effect OF the
telegraphers' strike. While telegraph
business is by no means at standstill,
ordinary messages are moving slowly
and accepted everywhere subject to de-

ploying enc or two men. in many cases
not members of the union. do not suffer.
Today the local union will decide
whether to call operators on leased
wires. Thus far the financial houses

under contract have been able TO do
business as usual Another question
still unsettled concerns the so-called

ASSESSORS REPORT
ON TAXES SOUGHT
BY COMMISSIONER
All Public Service Opera
tons to Be Investigated
for Taxable Prop
erty.

A fun and detailed report of just how
the several public service corporations
in the District stand with relation to
their taxed. and taxable property will be
submitted by Assessor Z. w. w. Grimm
to Commissioner West within a few
days
Mr.. West this morning received let
ter from Mr.. Griffin in answer TO the
formers request for such a report, stat
ing that the board OF assistant assessors
would get together at once and make an
investigation OF these corporations TO
discover whether or not there is any
further property which had escaped tax
alton as in the cases of the gas COM
panies. and whether that already on the
books is assessed at high enough
figures
Since the additions u the assessments
of the gas companies and the Pcnnsyl-
Vania railroad. no further additional as
sessments have been made but there is
a question now pending about the Po-
. tomac Electric and Power Company and
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. AT
any rate, these two, and also the street
car companies, the telephone company
and the two telegraph companies, will
come in for attention by the assistant
assessors. Mr.. West will then know
just how they all stand.
This information, too. will be used in
connection with the next triennial as
sessment of all property in the District
which is TO be, completed by the first of
the year.
No replies have as yet been received
by District officials from the gas com
panies or the Pennsylvania railroad as
10 whether they intend to pay or to con
test the increased taxes levied against
them. Neither has the Potomac Elec-
trio and Power Company replied to the
inquiry OF the assessors asking whether
they have included in their statements
the values of their couduits and meters.
