SEVEN REASONS GIVEN
NOT TOEXEMPI WATER GO
From Taxation Because il is Not a
Municipal Corporation.
HARDSHIPS ON TAXPAYERS.
Heavy Burden on Second District Tax
PAYERS Who Derive No Bsselt
(CCnnunicted }

Mr.. Editor dear Sir Having read
your editorial and MIR D0uw's com-
munication upon the exemption Of the
Annapolis Water Company. permit
me 70 state my reasons why the An
napolis Water Compsny should not
be eNepmt from taxation.
First that the Annapolis Water
Company applied 10 the County Conn
missioners for exemption and ia
written opinion, now on file in the
office of said Commissioners. their
csulselor, Mr.. Ridgely p. Melvin,
stated that the Annapolis Water Com
pany was not a municipal corporation
in the sense Of the law, and therefore
were not entitled 20 the exemption
asked.
Second, that il is not expedient at
present. due 20 the fact that the
County Commissioners will be COM
PEELED TO increase the rate consider
ably at its next levy.
Third, thst il will entail loss in
taxes Of So. 1925. The City of An
napolis lSixth district Will lose 81.
1855. The Second district will lose
81, 92l.3O. These amounts include
all taxes for 1912 aud 1918. No taxes
having been paid by said company
Fourth, that the approximate basis
of the Second district next year will
be about So, 500, O0O, and the loss OF
revenue to this district hy eXempting
the Annapolis Water Company will be
about $1,000 yearly, equivalent 10
four cents increase ia their tax rate.
Fifth, that this is o hardship upon
the taxpayers of tie Second district
and will initiate against al that
beautiful water front property sItu-
sted upon the south bank uf the
Severn and the north bpnk of south
river, Arundel-on-the-Bay Bay Ridge,
etc.
Sixth, that Eastport, Germantown
and West Annapolis should not be
made to bear this burden, especially
Esstport and West Annapolis, as
they derive no benefit whatsoever
from said Company. There is moth
ing that hurts a community more
than a high tax rate.
Seventh, that il the Annapolis
Water Company, under its old man
agement, could pay 6 per cent. divi-
dfnds end their taxes every year,
why cannot the present management
do the same7 The statement that
the amount saved by exemption
would help to reduce the water rate
is simply problematic If Senator
Watkins and the members o. our del
egation in the House deem it proper
20 pass this bill No. 600. have moth
ing further to say upon the subject
except that, gentlemen. the day of
reckoning will come when the taxpay
ers, oppressed by their enormous bur
den, will revolt.

This amendment was offered by Sen
ator Johnstone through the senate
finance committee, along with various
other amendments to the bill providing

urers and au litors of the State,
Debate on the bill in the senate was
adjourned until this week, but an
