SEES MENACE IN TRAILERs
Jersey Vehicle Commissioner Says
New Law Ends His Control.


State Motor Vehicle Commits
sioner Dill draws attention to a
new law which deprived him of
supervision over the size and
weight of trailers and semitrail-
ers.
Heretofore such carriers were.
registered with the department.
The recent statute, which was
sponsored by Senator Mackay, of
Bergen, sanctions the use of trail
ers when engaged in moving road
building machinery, traction en-
gines, steam rollers and other
equipment provided the weight is
so distributed that there is not
more than 800 pounds per inch of
width of tire on any one wheel
upon the highway. Permits are OBJ
tanned from the County Road
Supervisor.
An opinion by Attorney General
Katzenback was quoted by Mr..
Dill to the effect that the act,
having separate title, repeats all
inconsistent laws and renders 1in-
operative the limit fixed by the
Motor Vehicle act as to the size of
trailers. AS means of protecting
the counties from damages which
may be caused to the roads by the
use of these carriers, Commissioner
Dill suggested that the Board of
Freeholders exact bonds from the
owners before granting permits.

self into two fundamental premises:
a. There are a great many i'm
provements which are needed for the
development of Washington and can
only come by fair. equitable contri-
button from the Federal Government
and fair amount of taxes paid by tn
citizens Of the District.
"2. The available taxable property
cannot yield enough revenue to sus-
tain large budget if the Government
is to contribute continually the sum of
$4,000 900, and there is only the alter
native of pairing the budget or an
excess tax burden on the citizens.
while it is highly desirable that
the development of Washington should
continue upon as progressive a basis
as possible, yet, on the other hand,
this board sees a grave danger in the
increase Of local taxation and munich
pal financial obligations. This danger
involves, primarily, the very basis
upon which rests the prosperity of the
city, that of financially well.off and
economically sound community. The
present situation In Washington, both
commercially and from the point of
view of the home owner and the fam
lily head, leads us to believe that any
increase in the financial burdens
placed upon the citizens Of the Dis
trict at this time would be fraught
with grave danger.

It further shows that while there has
been a general tendency to stabilize.
and, indeed, in a greater number of
instances. to cut municipal taxation.
on the contrary, Washington has
shown steady increase, not only In
its tax rate, but in assessments. We
desire to point out to you that this
community is one of the very few
which actually assesses property on q
fair true market value to the point
of between 90 per cent to 100 per
cent. and that while other cities have
a legal assessment rate of 100 per cent,
they frankly admit they make no such
attempt. The general raise in assess
ment this year throughout the city is
little over 20 per cent, and means
a raise in values from $950,000. 900 to
$1,150. 100000.

ers could bear during the year 1928
20. because Of the heavy boosts in the
assessments on real property.
In requesting the Commissioners to
limit the budgetary estimates for the
192S-29 fiscal year to $43 800, 900, the
trade bodies seek cut OF approx
mately $500 600 from the $4,000. 900
total requests of the city department
heads, which now are being studied
by the Commissioners preparatory to
formulating IA proposed budget to be
submitted to the Bureau of the Budget.
Coupled with the budget and tax
proposals of the trade body represent
atives were recommendations that
every effort possible be made to in
crease the contributions by the
Federal Government to more eqult-
BILE proportion of the expense OF the
upkeep and development of the Ma
tionai Capital, and that the appoint
ment Of special commission be
sought at the coming session of Con
gress to determine upon fair and
just tax to be paid by the city.
Result of Public Protest
The united action of the trade asso-
Citations comes as elimination of a
rising tide of sentiment among Dis
trict taxpayers against the mounting
tax burden assessed against them,
while Congress, on the other hand, has
in recent sessions reduced the contri,
button of the Federal Government to-
ward the expense of building and main
tanning the Capital City.
Only last week, for the first time in
the history of the associations. the
three trade bodies banded together to
present a strong and united protest
to the Commissioners against the set
ting of a tax rate for the ensuing
fiscal year higher than $1.65. which

burden which Is comparable to that
paid by property owners in cities OF
comparable size, and 1t therefore urges
that no higher rate be established for
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1929
The committee is aware Of the
many and pressing needs of the Dis
trict of Columbia at the present time
needs which cannot be met imme
diately by the estimated income from
the tax rate herein recommended. The
citizens of this community should
not be expected to pay more than
fair tax as compared with cities OF
comparable size for the maintenance
and development of the Nations
Capital. Consequently. the committee
urges that every effort possible be
made to increase the appropriations
