according to the estimates of city of.
ficials. In the meantime-1913 to the
present-the population has increased
but about so per cent, as opposed to
the doubling. trebling and quadrupling
of the assessments.
Today the rate on real estate and
tangible personal property is the
highest 1t ever has been, at $1.80. In
1921 there was a rate of $1.95 and in
1922 a rate of $1.82, but these were
on the basis of a two.thirds valuation
instead of the full valuation now pre-
vailing. Previous to 1921 the rate
uniformly was $3.50 cn a two-thirds
valuation. Then, too, the rate on in
tangible personal property was raised
in 1922 from So per thousand to IS
per thousand, so that the Increased
rates, with full value assessment, are
raising proportionately greater per-
centage of revenue than has ever been
done in former years.
The question naturally arises. How
far shall this revenue problem press
upon the taxpayers OF the District,
who are without voice in either the
Federal or local affairs?
Some members of Congress have ex-
pressed the opinion that a greater
rate should be assessed against Wash
ington's property owners. This opin-
ion seems to be based on a compari.
son of the District tax rate with those
of number Of States where high
rates are due to a low assessment or
differentiation of real and personal
property. Statements have been made
that the District not only has a low
tax rate, but that the assessment is
far below true value.
An analysis of the situation, how
ever, presents a far different picture
Not only is the 1928 total assess.
