D. c. PLANS MAILING
REALTY TAX BILLS
Majority of 10000 Payers Now
Required to Journey to
District Building.

A suggestion that the District estab-
lish system of mailing real estate tax
bills instead of having taxpayers go to
the District building to get them will
be given serious consideration before
taxes again become due in November
Commissioner Rudolph, chairman of the
board, stated today.
The collector Of taxes already mails
bills for personal property taxes He also
mails real estate bills when the prop
erty owner makes written request. The
now journey to the tax office, consuming
their own time and that of the clerical
force in having the bills handed to them
Realty of 10000 taxed.
1t was estimated today that there
are probably 10000 individual real es-
tate taxpayers in the District. In
tax payments for their clients. In
such cases the real estate men send to
the District building and obtain at
one time bills for all of the property
they control. This practice, 1t was
pointed out, could be continued. leav-
ing the collector to mail out only the
bills of individual property owners
who handle their own taxes.
G. NJ. Towers, collector of taxes, be-
lieves that If a plan for the mailing
of all bills could be worked out, it
would result in a large increase in
tax collections and a corresponding
decrease in the number of delinquents
each year.
In order to establish the mailing
system the biggest task would be to
get an accurate mailing list. At the
present time under a new system the
tax ledgers are written up by square
and lot numbers and, since the bills
are mailed only on written request,
the tax office is not in possession of
the addresses Of taxpayers.
Card Index Possible.
1t is the opinion of Collector Tow
ers that a card index. record of tax
payers, with addresses, could be pre-
pared without disturbing the present
system of keeping tax ledgers and
bills mailed from the card system.
Taking the estimate of $4,000 tax
payers and the fact that bills are now
payable twice year, the cost of
postage would not exceed $4,000. Ad-
would not only prove convenience
to the taxpayer. but would render
the collection of taxes much easier.
If 1t should be decided to mail the
bills for both half-payments at one
time in November, the cost of postage
would be cut in half.
The last half of taxes for the cur
rent fiscal year must be paid between
now and June l to avoid the penalty
of l per cent month.
Commissioner Rudolph will Inquire
into the advisability of mailing bills
before next years taxes are due in
November.
