Five officials Of the Chesapeake and

that company owes the District ap-
proximately $3.50, 900 in taxes. The

pany does not owe the District enc
cent, but that of all the public service
corporations doing business here, tney
are the best and promptest taxpay-
ars. was placed on the record.

sized that the Chesapeake and 70
tomac Telephone Co. is the only puohc
utility paying the so-called structure
in-space tax. which the other utllties
are contesting and which constitutes

it's taxes as charged promptly each
year and accompanies the remittance
with q written protest against this
