.FAVORS AUTO|STS
PAY PAVING COSTS
Corporation Counsel Bride
Urges BOrIa1d Law
inquiry.

The, argument that Automobiles
should share in paving costs here has
It's merits. in the opinion of Corporation
Counsel w. w. Bride. who touched on
this question IL his annual report, made
public yesterday. in which he definitely
recommended appointment of spe-
cial committee to investigate the Situa-
ton created by the Borland law, under
which ab5utting property owners are
assessed one-half the cost of street paw
ing He likewise urged a study Of street
paving taxes in other cities. The re-
suits of this study. myier the corpora
ton counsel's suggestion, would be pre-
scented to the District Commissioners
with recommendations for the relief of
tax payers.
The Commissioners should be en-
powered to make settlement of claims
out of court. he added.
With respect to the proposed special
Borland law committee and its inVeSti-
cation aimed to bring some relief to
owners of abutting property who must
pay for street paving, Mr.. Bride said:
Other methods of distributing the
burden of this tax might be easily pre-
Sented for discussion and if a salts
factory solution is reached, a formal
recommendation to Congress could be
made. A number of remedial supgeS-
tons occur to me, the adoption Of any
one of which believe would improve
conditions. and which would, of course,
be glad to make to the committee.
There is merit to the complaint that
those who use the streets should pay
for their paving, rather than the 'front.'
ing land owner. The greatly Increased
use of the highways due to the auto
mobile and through traffic have an
important bearing to uphold this view.
"A goodly portion of the complaint
made against the law will be removed if
the conferees to be appointed by the
House and Senate on the two bills
passed by them increasing the powers
OF the Commissioners are able to work
out satisfactory measure If the Com
missioners are permitted to settle claims
in line with decided cases and not be
put to the situation of having to re-
! quire that suits be filed in each case
coupled with the necessity for using
certain technical defenses. good deal
OF the cause for complaint will be re-
moved. 1t will not satisfy the large
number Of taxpayers who are inherent
~ opposed to the law itself as irt-
equitable in DrinciDle"
