For Changes in Law.

',Of course, I will recommend certain
changes in the law. 1 believe absolutely
that the assessment should be at full
value, and, right along that line, l under
stand the Johnson bill to require the true
consideration in real estate deals being
reported should become a law. The
Commissioners and the assessor have rec
omm ended this bill, and I believe It will
help toward making right system in the
District
II have found many fine and strong
points about the Districts taxation and
assessment, and / also think l can con-
vince the committee that there are some
weak points. The whole idea OF the
inquiry has been not to muck rake. but to
get at the bottom Of the matter. and,
having found out what the substratum is,
to build up better system. II possible"
Mr.. Georges inquiry will be reported
to the full committee. with tables and
diagrams showing the trend of assess
ment for many years back. 1t will also
show that Mr.. George indorses Assessor
Richards view that an annual assessment
in the District would be better than a
trfennial one.

The court Of appeals. in order to

Should all this time be consumed,
the printed record OF testimony could
not be submitted to the court until early

Court probably will defer a final set

gagged In a conspiracy to monopolize trade

Lawson Purdy. president of the board
of assessment and taxation Of Greater
New York, will pay a visit to the Dis
trict committee Wednesday morning and
will 30 on the witness stand. Mr.. George
considers him one Of the greatest authori-
ties on tax methods.
When the inquiry is at an end the Dis
trict committee will get the data and
recommendations to be made by Mr..
George, and 1t will be found that the tax
inquiry has developed many odd points Of
interest. One Of these, which Mr.. George
called attention to today, is that great
many sections In the older parts OF the
city are overassessed
II have found several blocks In the
old part of the town." he sad, where
the assessment has been jumped 20 per
cent and even 80 per cent and there has
not been the slightest change In the char
acter Of the buildings believe this will
be obviated by having larger force of
assessors, so that the work can be done
with more care.

FOR LARGER FORCE
May Report Bill for Assessors
Office Increase.
PROPHECY OF Mr.. GEORGE
Based on Assumption Assessments
Will Be Made Annually Instead
Of Triennially.

That the House committee on tho Dis
trict Of Columbia will report q bill in
creasing the clerical and assessment
force In the ONCE OF tho assessor Of the
District Ii the prophesy Of Represent
alive George Of New York. who Will con-
clude his inquiry into the taxation and
assessment methods Of tho District Of
Columbia within q few days.
Representative George bases this view
on the assumption that an annual as
sessement In place Of a triennial one in
the District will be arranged for by a
law to be enatced by Congress this ses-
sion. and. as tho present force at the
District building is too small in his opin-
ion, an increase will be authorized. Mr.
George mentioned ten men as an ideal
board Of assistant assessors for real
estate assessment.
THE assessors Office" he said to a
Star reporter today. while discussing the
tax situation, is VIGOROUSLY untitled to
handle the vast volume Of business which
goes through it. 1t Is numerically weak
and should be strengthened. AS for the
three real estate assessors. when they
are through with one task they find the
work they have done is already behind
the times. 1t is too much to expect three
men to do"
