Commissioners had taxed their rentals
as a part OF their gross earnings after
the real estate from which the rentals
had been derived had been subjected
to the real estate tax. The two COM
panies insisted that under former rul-
ings of the United States Supreme Court
they were being subjected to illegal
double taxation.
Pointing out that the controversy was
of great importance to banks and other
corporations owning real estate in the
District, the two companies urged the
highest tribunal to pass on the merits
of the questions they had raised. It
was contended that the District Com
missioners had plainly disregarded the
law and had exceeded their authority.
