REASONS FOR OPPOSING
BORLAND AMENDMENT
Northeast Citizens Object to Change
in Paying for Street
Pavements.

Evan Ii. Tucker, president Of the North
east Washington Citizens Association,
has written to Senator Gallinger, one of
the conferees on the part Of the Senate
who will handle the District appropria-
tion bill. setting forth his reasons for
opposing the Borland amendment, with
out compromise.
The Borland amendment. which was
stricken out of the bill in the Senate
proposes to put the cost of paving all
streets in Washington not more than
forty feet wide upon the owners of the
adjacent property, and to put a proper
tfonate amount Of the cost of paving
wider streets upon the property owners
along those wider streets.
In his letter to Senator Gallinger Mr.
Tucker says:
Il submit the following reasons why
the Northeast Washington Citizens AS
sociation believes the enactment into law
of the Borland amendment would work
great hardship and injustice to the own
ers of small houses and other small
holdings.
Unfair to Small Home.
First. The owner of small home,
valued at about $1,000 who owns no We
hicles would be required to pay as much
toward the paving of the street in front
of his home as would the owner of a
mansion valued at S103.OOO of equal 'front.'
age on the same street. though the own
er of the mansion might also own many
vehicles and enjoy a large benefit from
the improvement.
Second. A small house yielding an n
come of ST per month. or $2g4 a year.
would be required to pay as much toward
the paving OF the street as would a large
apartment house or business property of
equal frontage, although the latter prop
critics might yield an income of $1,000 a
year. Notwithstanding the probability that
the owner of the small property would
own no vehicles. and would, therefore,
derive but little benefit from the improve
ment while the owners of the large prop
critics would own many vehicles and
would be much benefited.
Corner Property at Disadvantage.
Third A small holding, valued at
$1,000 might be required to pay many
times the amount that a large one would
pay by reason of the small house occupy
ing Il corner lot. thereby having many
times as much frontage as a mansion,
apartment house or business house, occlI-
pying an inside lot; or the small house
might occupy a lot which fronts on al
avenue and runs back to Il street, which
is often the case. and this small house
would be assessed double much for
street paving as would a larger house, Of
many times it's value, which happened to
have only one frontage.
Fourth. Ninety-siX per cent of the
streets of one of the urban sections of
Washington have been paved. many have
been repaved many times. all of which
have been paid for out of the general
fund, to which the property on the unm-
proved streets in other sections of the
city as well in the suburbs, has been
contributing by the payment of taxes, for
over hundred years"
In conclusion M. Tucker urges that
the present plan of paving for street
pavements be retained.
