PROPOSE SLIDING SCALE
FOR AUTOMOBILE TAXES
Baltimore Officials Urge System to
Eliminate Special Appeals
by Drivers.
Djspatch TO The Star.


BALTIMORE. April 2S-The mem
bers Of the appeal tax court are PLAN
ming to abolish the present system OF
automobile taxation before assess
ments for next year are made, by
working out schedule for automatic
reduction of assessments each year.
based on the average depreciation of
automobiles in service.
Chief Judge Edward A. Hartman
and Judge E. Centrum have announ-
ced that they are in favor of the plan.
and the proposal also has the ap-
proVal of Mayor Broening.
Under the present method an auto
mobile is assessed at two-thirds of
its original cost for the first year, but
no reduction is made as it deterio-
rates in service. unless individual ap-
plication is made to the court.
The judges feel that the owner of
an automobile should not be required
to appear each year to ask for a re-
due ton which is justly his. Their
idea is to continue the original as
sessment al two-thirds of cost and to
fin fiat scale of yearly reductions to
apply on all cars.
1t is not thought that the new plan
would mean great reduction in tax
receipts from this source.
