AT STAKE IN RULING
Controller General to Give
Decision as to Division of
Certain Revenues.

The District government has about
100000 at stake in a decision which
the controller general Of the Treas
ury soon will render on the question
OF whether the United States should
get credit for 40 per cent of certain
city revenues.
This decision will have a material
erect on the tax rate to be fixed for
real estate and tangible personal
property for the next fiscal year. and.
therefore, Is being awaited with in
terest by local officials.
Provisions of Measure.
In framing the appropriation act
for the current fiscal year Congress
stipulated that all miscellaneous rev.
enues collected by the city shall be
credited to the United States and
District governments in the same
proportion In which each government
contributes toward the sources from
which such collections are derived.
Aside from real estate and personal
taxes, the District derives income
from sixty-one miscellaneous sources.
or that number, forty-four items are
credited either fifty-fitty or sixty
forty between the District and the
United States.
Up to June 80, 1922. the money de
rived from the remaining II sources
OF revenue had been credited wholly
TO the District account. The decision
now being awaited from the con-
troller has to do with these II items.
Maj. Daniel J. Donovan, city
auditor, submitted the matter to the
Treasury in November in the form
OF long letter, in which he outlined
the nature of each Of the II items
and asked for a ruling as to how
many Of them should be divided 60-40
with the United States.
Difference in Revenue.
Last year these IL items brought I'm
total revenue Of $1,17S.273.11. all OF
which was credited to the District.
II the Treasury rules that. under the
wording Of the current appropria-
ton law. 40 per cent of these ~
items of revenue should go to the
federal government, 1t means that
nearly 100000 more must be raised
from the tax on real estate and tan
gible personal property.
The proposed tax on gasoline as
means of bringing about automobile
reciprocity with Maryland is another
matter that throws doubt on what the
real estate tax rate will be next year.
If Congress. before adjourning, en-
acts the gasoline tax bill, Auditor
Donovan will have to allow for the
effects of that law in fixing the real
estate tax rate.
