HOLD Different VIEWS
| Of DISTRICT TAX LAW
Gasight Company Tenders $74,-
067 .13, Which Amount Collector
Insists Is Not Enough.

A man with a satchel containing $14,-
05Tl3 stood outside the tax collectors
office In the municipal building today
and vainly endeavored to have the Dis
trict accept the money.
Rawlins Hume. assistant treasurer OF
the Washington Gas Light Company,
was the custodian of this neat fortune,
which he was unable TO turn into the
city's Golfers because Ben L. Prince.
tax collector. claimed that it was sew
eral thousand dollars short of the
amount which the company owes the
District in payment OF its personal
taxes for the fiscal year 1918.
The real amount OF the indebted
ness. according to the collector, is $1oe.-
s0l.94, the difference between this sum
and that proffered by Mr.. Hume repre-
senting the tax on raw materials used
in the manufacture of gas, which the
company claims should not be assessed
against it.
Payment Last Year Under Protest.
Last year q similar complaint was
made by the company. but the raw ma
terial tax was paid under protest when
Collector Prince threatened to distrain
its personal and real property.
The company will again face distraint
proceedings unless 1t settles tho ac-
count in full, 1t is understood.
Following the protested payment OF
$31,321.62 last year, the company en-
tered suit to recover the amount A
demurrer was filed by the District and
| overruled by Justice Gould in the Dis
| trtct Supreme Court. An appeal will
be made from this decision.
In letter sent today to Collector
Prince Howard s. Reeside. president of
the Washington Gas Light Company,
holds that the overruling of this de-
murrer in effect sustains the Washing
ton Gas Light Company in its conten-
ton, namely, that to arrive at the
amount of it's gross earnings for each
| tax year, the cost of raw materials
\ should be deducted from its gross re-
ceipts. and the balance constitutes the
gross earnings. upon which the COM
pany is taxed at the rate Of s per
centum."
States the Gross Earningx
In accordance with this decision Mr.
Reeside states that the gross earn
| tngs of the Washington Gas Light
Company for the year ending June 80,
1915. were s1,4s1,l42.46. and the amount
of its taxes therefore is $74,o571s.
This company now tenders the sum
| OF $T4.05713 in payment of its per-
| sonal taxes for the year ending june
30, 1915. Should the District appeal
from the decision OF the court above
referred to. and succeed in reversing
| that ruling, the company will at once
| accept and obey the Anal adjudication
| of this question"
