TRINIDAD CITIZENS
OPPOSE ROAD TAX
1000 Property Owners Sign
Petitions Against Levy,
Committee Hears.

More than 1000 signatures Of prop
erty owners have been obtained in the
last three days to petitions circulated
In the Northeast section against the
proposed take assessment schedule lev
led in the Benning road widening prof.
ect, it was reported last night at
meeting Of special committee of the
Trinidad Citizens Association which is
directing the fight against confirmation
Of the assessments.
The meeting. which was held at the
residence of John r. Miller, 1918 Mary
land avenue northeast, chairman Of the
committee, considered and gave fnal
approval to the wording Of the petitions,
which tomorrow morning will be pre-
sented to Justice William Hitz In the
District Supreme Court
The formal petitions to be presented
in court were drawn by Bruce L. Casteel
and Charles I. Kaplan, lawyers and
members of the Trinidad Association.
They recite that the method Of assess
ment in the case Is faulty In that 1t
places the burden Of cost on small prop
erty owners, whereas the principal
benefits to be derived from the improve
ments will be obtained by the business
men OF washington ana nearby virginia
and Maryland. 1t further sets forth
that the assessments are not for the
opening Of new road, but for the
widening of an old one, which, as far as
the property owners taxed are con-
cerned, Is wide enough.
The assessments for the widening of
the road are spread over an area six
blocks removed from the highway and
involve about 2,000 pieces Of property.
At last nights meeting. it was pointed
out that both Maryland and New York
avenues are scheduled to be extended
within the next few years, and it is
feared that if precedent is established
of making the property owners within
wide zone pay for street improve
ments, 1t will overburden the Trinidad
section with taxation.
Besides the special committee, last
nights meeting was attended by
George j. Cleary, president of the
association, and the executive officers.
Bad weather recently compelled the
Manx Parliament to twice postpone ST.
tings within fortnight.
