Figures on Property.
Now the real estate taxable property
held in the District at this time is
thirds Of this amount, or about $472,-
100000, is the estimated assessed
value under the old system.
The personal tangible property in
the District amounts to approximately
85,000,00O.
Under the old two-thirds assessed
valuation basis, 1t would mean that a
tax of 1924 per 500 would be laid
against real estate in order to raise
sufficient funds for the carrying out of
the requirements Of the District This
900 needed. when the old system is
used.
Sugar-Coated PHI.
The sugar-coated pill, however, un-
der the new system-and this is
probably the point recognized by the
conferees-is in the form of the full
assessment Of property value, which
would run the basis for taxation up
for real estate taxes. which, inciud-
ing the $85,000,000 basis for taxation
Of personal tangible property-such
as watches, jewelry, furniture and
the like-would give total basis OF
$685., 100000 for taxation. Wherefore
the simple way to raise the $12, 800, OO(
yet needed under this system is
sugar-coated into an assessment 81
$1.S2 per $1,000 OF property or there.

abouts. that to all intents. and pur-
poses would seem to be no increase.
Hardest to Discover.
On digging beneath the sugar coating,
however, the stark fact Is revealed that
the man owning. say, $1,000, worth OF
property would have, under the new
system. to pay a tax Of 1890. Under
the old system-where really a 20 per
cent valuation is made-the tax would
be approximately $12.74.
Experts who have watched the state
| taxation of intangible property, 1t was
said today, are agreed that this taxatioh
is the hardest to discover and the hard
est to collect. Intangibles can be con-
cealed very easily. A low rate means
more declarations and easier collections.
A higher rate means more dlfflcuity III
collections.
Aside from this. 1t is pointed out,
