Letter From Local Federation
Offers Vigorous Protest Of
B0rIand Measure.
DECLARES AMENDMENT
NOT WANTED BY PEOPLE
Claims It Has Proved an Unjust
Burden on Property Owners,
Especially in Suburbs.

On behalf of the Federation of Citi-
zens' Associations. William NICK. Clay
ton has filed with Chairman John Wal
ter Smith of the Senate subcommittee
in charge of the District appropriation
bill letter vigorously protesting
against the so-called Borland amend
ment. which imposes upon the owners
Of abutting property part of the ex-
pense of paving the streets of the cap
ital. The letter urges the repeal of
this amendment, and insists that it has
proved an unjust burden on the people
o: the District, particularly those who
reside In the suburbs. The letter says,
in part:
For a period of thirty-seven years
from 1878 to 1879 the whole cost of
street paving was paid out of the COM
mon tax fund contributed to alike by
all the taxable property of the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Law Changed in 1915.
In 1915 the law was changed by the
so-called Borland amendment, taxing
one-half the cost of street paving
against abutting property. No demand
on the part of the people of the Dis
trict was made for this radical change.
No opportunity was given them to pre-
sent objections.
After one years trial of this new
law protes; upon protest fill the official
files against its further continuance or
extension No one speaks for 1t. every
one condemns it and begs return to
the time-tested and time-honored sys-
tenn of forty years proven worth.
For forty years people have acquired
homes and property in the District, rely
ing on the good faith and integrity of a
law and system that had worked itself
thoroughly into the good opinion of all
our people. and they had a reasonable
right to expect that what everyone ap-
proved and no one disapproved would
remain the law of their city.
Full Share of Tax Burden.
The john committee of Congress on
the fiscal relations between the national
government and the District of Column
bia say in their report that real estate
in the District of Columbia is bearing
its full share of the tax burden under
the present'rate and present assessment,
and this is quite aside and without ref
erence to the many onerous special
taxes Congress is pleased from time 20
time to legislate exclusively upon the
District.
1t is now accepted as a sound principle
Of municipal finance that no special tax
should be levied until the general tax
fund becomes insufficient and inadequate
to meet the legitimate and reasonable
demands of a community.
The general tax fund of the District

hardship upon suburban Washington.
whose underimproved and undeveloped

raised in recent years to the full city
rate. $l.50p Suburban property pays

claimed by some an abnormal price
and beyond the actual cost of laying.
1t pays for sidewalks. expensive curb
ing. paving of alleys. etc, so that now
the special taxes levied and collected,
often by distraint and sale. run the tax
rate up on this class Of property t. to
Borland tax and you find the reason
why suburban Washington does not
grow and expand as the suburbs Of
other cities do. There they invite and
we tax our suburban communities into
encouragement and stagnation.
TT was testified recently before the
House committee on appropriations that
the average life of asphalt pavements
approximates twenty-five years. the
life of macadam eight years. Macadam
is used in the suburbs, asphalt almost
exclusively in the city. The suburban
home owner will, therefore. pay for
three pavements, while his city neigh
Dor pays for but one.
Nations Title Cited
THE title of all the streets and ave-
nues in the District of Columbia is in
the United States. What right has
Congress to compel John Smith, who
happens to own lot fronting on gov
ernment-owned avenue. to pay a tax for
paving the governments property
tax owed equally as we'll by every citi-
zen of the United States?
The claim that property Is enhanced
in value to the extent of the special
taxes imposed for so-called betterments
sors of the District recognize no such
dictum. but ASSESS equally at the same
rate and the same price per foot lots in
the same neighborhood, regardless of
what street improvements, water or
sew er mains, etc. may exist.
The Borland amendment is class
legislation in that it penalties sub
urban Washington for the benefit of
the city proper. Under the tax system
here in force for forty years over so
per cent of the city's thoroughfares
is now highly improved with flrst-class
pavements of long life, while but less
than rs per cent of the roadways in
the county is paved. with second-class
material. SO that under the new sys-
tenn the county must expect to pay
four times in proportion the tax the
city can be called upon to pay. with no
compromising balance.
IF the Borland law is sound in theory
and right in principle, why not extend
its benefcent and equitable provisions
and levy special taxes for the support
of the public schools. the sweeping of
the streets, the collection of garbage
and ashes etc: as many cities do
which have been forced to replenish
their depleted general tax funds by
special lev!es?
