MAIN POINTS OF GEORGE
MEASURE ARE FAVORED
Chief Features of Taxation Bill
Practically Adopted by House
District Committee.

Tantamount to a favorable report on
the George bill to provide a new method
of taxation and assessment in the Dis
trict of Columbia. the House District
committee today practically adopted the
chief features Of the measure, but 1t was
not without a protest from Representa-
tives Walters Of Pennsylvania and Igoe
OF Missouri who maintained that strict
legislation should be adopted to keep the
proposed assessment board from being
filled with political henchmen anxious for
political rewards. This protest was I'M
needed by the majority Of the committee
Representative Walters also raised
question concerning the provision of the
bill which states that the assessment
rate should be based partially on any
de6cit existing between the District and
the United States In favor of the United
States. Representative Walters thought
that something definite should be written
into the bill as to what authorities would
determine what the deficit might be. He
also raised the question of losing taxes
on an estimate rather than on the ex-
penses- citing the present 100000 diff
ference between the estimates and the
apprOpriat ton bill.
