Tax Assessor William f. Richards
revealed today that he has placed a
Hypothetical assessment of $4,000
900 on the White House and Execu-
tive grounds.
If President Coolidge were taxed
he would have to pay $374,00 a year
taxes on that property, based on the
local tax rate of $1.70 for each 500
worth of property. His salary is
only $4,000 a year.
Richards has just completed as
sessing all Federal property in the
District of Columbia. His estimates
show that the National Government
owns 100000 worth of property
here.
Each Piece Assessed
In order to reach this total assess
ment, which the District Commits
Ginners plan to use as a basis for
their drive for a revision in fiscal re-
1ations, Richards had TO place ind-
Vidual assessments on each piece of
Federal property here. In reaching
his individual estimates Richards
took into consideration the assessed
value Of the surrounding property.
