FOR SENATE AGAIN
Change in District Tax sys.
TEN Expected Up Today
Fight May Delay Action,

The District appropriation bill and
the conference fiscal relations rider,
as reported from the Senate appro-
priations committee, is expected to
como up for consideration in-the Gen
ate before adjournment today. The
supporters of the new fiscal relations
plan hope to have it approved. op-
ponents of tho plan. on tho other
hand. will seek to have the bill
and rider recommitted, with instruc-
tions that hearings be held.
Senator Jones Of Washington, one
Of the conferees on the District bill,
who aided in drawing. I'D tho new
fiscal relations plans, today intro
duced q bill to make one half Of the
taxes on real estate and real personal
one-half payable May l. The purpose
Of the bill is to make some Of the
revenues Of the District available
early in the fiscal year. In this way
1t will be possible to bring the Dis
triet to e cash. paying basis In accord
plan, without laying up such a large
sum of money in surplus taxation as
was originally believed necessary.
The Jones bill, which was referred
to the senate District committee,
provides that, beginning July /, 1922.
and annually thereafter, one-half Of
the tax on real estate and real per-
sonal property in the District shall
become due and payable November 1
and one-half May 1. II the INSTALL
ment of one-half Is not paid before
December 1 the bill provides that this
installment shall be held to be in
arrears. and that a penalty of 1 per
Cent per month shall be charged
against the delinquent taxpayer until
the installment is paid. The second
installment must, be- paid before
June 1, or q similar penalty will run
against 1t.
The fight in the Senate over the fiscal
relations plan and the contention that
the people Of the city should be given
apopportunity to be heard in regard
to it may cause final action, to 10
over for another day, 1t was said,
Resolutions adopted by the Board
of Trade. protesting against the new
fiscal relations plan. were laid before
the Senate today by Vice President
Coolidge.
