MT. RAINIER SEEKS
HIGHER TAX RATE

MOUNT RAINIER. Md. July 2s.-
Because of the depleted condition
of the town treasury, which pre-
vents the making of needed i'm
provements, the town council. has
passed a motion to appoint a COM
mittee to draft a Dill for presenta-
tion at the next session of the State
legislature to provide for an in
creased tax rate. The present rate
of 25 cents per 800 of real estate
is said to be barely adequate to
cover the towns debts and expenses.
At the last meeting of the council
citizens of the vicinity of Thirty
first and Newton streets delivered
an ultimatum to the effect that IL
relief was not granted Immediately

slider court action. to compel this
work being done. The petitioners
were told the town officials would
contest such action in every man
ner possible, the council pointing
out that the town was simply not
able financially to do the work.

DENY RIGHT TOFTX
ON DEPRECIATION
Telephone Men Oppose Power
of Public Utility
Board.

Opposition to the fxing Of depre-
citation by the Public utilities Com
mission for the Chesapeake and Po-
tomac Telephone Company was ex-
pressed Thursday by officials of the
company at the depreciation hear
ing held by the commission.
They claimed that the equipment
OF the telephone company comes
under the jurisdiction of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission. J. T.
Bracelin, representative of the Bell
Telephone system. quoted numerous
decisions from the Interstate Com
merce Commission and of the
United States Supreme Court to
show that the commission has no
right to fix depreciation rates.
At the afternoon session OF the
hearing G. Thomas Dunlap, presi-
dent of the Terminal Cab Company.
requested the commission not to
change his coppany's present rate
OF depreciation, which was formerly
fixed by the commission at 21k
per cent.
buhlOp sdlu lHdN lne average lie
of the automobiles which the COM
pany used /. not over four years.
They cost from $4,000 to $1,000 each,
he said.
The method now in use to es-
tablish a depreciation fund" said
Dunlop, 'is to place the deprecia-
tion rate into the depreciation fund
in monthly installments. When the
sum on the car in question is large
enough to cover its replacement no
additional payment is made"
Roger J. Whitefogd, representing
the Union Transfer Company, gave
ten years as the life of his trucks
The depreciation rate of his COM
pany is figured, he said, on an an
nual basis instead of a monthly, as
the volume of business varies in
different seasons of the year.
