LINCOLN PARK BODY
CRITICIZES GARAGE
Citizens Say District Officials Fail

Criticizing the failure of the District
government to act on complaints
against q large garage near Twelfth

Park Citizens Association last night
took steps to investigate the matter.
Members Of the association charged
that the garage was kept open all night
and the noise caused many sleepless
nights for residents of the vicinity.

BY the Associated Press
ALBANY, N. Y, April 21.--Upstate
New York and part of Massachusetts
trembled to earth shocks yesterday. No
serious property damage was reported.
The area in which the tremors were
felt was not definitely outlined, but they
seemed to center about the Albany
Schenectady-Troy area.
In those cities dishes ratified on
pantry shelves, pictures swayed on
walls, chairs rocked by themselves and
objects skidded about on tables and
mantelS.
The earthquake was officially recorded
ct the Dudley Observatory in Albany
and at Canisius College in Buffalo The
Rev. John P. Delaney, in charge of the
seismograph at the college, said that
the instrument showed it began at
2:56:34 pm. and lasted about one min
ute.
DR.. Ralph E. Wilson, assistant direc-
tor of the Dudley Observatory in Al
bany, said the observatory buildings
were shaken for several minutes and
that the windows SHOOK as if heavy
truck had been passing"
He offered the opinion that the
shocks followed the st. Lawrence fault
through the Hudson and Champlain
Valleys. Previous quakes have been laid
| to this fault.

Sees Raise From Evaders,

Another District official expressed
the view that the increase in collec-
tions possible under an income tax law
would come in large part from those
who now dodge the tax on intangi-
bles. II taxpayer states under oath
that he had no intangible property on
July ! OF any given year, at present the
assessor must take his word for it and
let it go at that. II. however, he states
that lie did not have a taxable income,
that is matter which can be checked
by investigation. Incidentally, the bill
as adopted by the House gives the
assessor power to compel the attend
ance of witnesses and put them under
oath, power he does not now possess
1t was pointed out that the bill is
extraordinarily severe on those who
refuse or neglect" to make returns.
The bill imposes on all such fiat pen
atty of $500, which in most cases would
be many times the amount Of the tax.
Under the present intangible tax, II a
property owner fails to get his return
in on time, he is assessed a penalty of
20 per cent Of the amount Of the tax,
SO that the amount Of the penalty Is
graduated according to the amount of
the tax. and, theoretically at least, to
the capacity of the taxpayer to pay.
How many persons would be required
to pay the new tax is not known. Last
year 7247 persons filed returns Of in
tangible property only. and 33,755 filed
returns of both tangible and Intangible
property, a total Of Al l,002.
For comparative purposes it may be
pointed out that persons in the Wash
ington area last year paid to the Fed
eral Government income taxes aggre-

increase in the Federal lump sum con-

This increased allowance has been car

but now the effort in the House Is to
seek to cut it to $6500 600
The District Commissioners yesterday
appeared concerned over the, prospect
that the proposed District tax on in
comes would be applied to Maryland
and Virginia residents who work here.
DR.. Luther H. Reichelderfer, presi-
dent of the board, sent Charles A Rus
Sell, deputy assessor, to inquire of Rep
reSentative MapeS whether the COM
mittee had intended to tax the incomes
OF residents of Maryland and Virginia.
Mr.. Russell reported that Mr.. MapeS
had said such was not the intention,
but that the matter could be straight
ened out satisfactorily when the bill
was in conference.
Reichelderfer Reticent.
DR.. Reichelderfer still would not give
his opinion of the various tax measures
passed by the House to increase the
Districts tax burden, on the ground
that he expects to be called on for
written expression of opinion by Con-
gresS, and does not consider it proper
70 make public his views in advance.
Tax Assessor William P Richards
does not take very seriously the pros
pect that under one Of the sections of
the income tax bill he will be called
upon to levy taxes on the incomes of
congressman. When informed yeSter-
day that Representative Mapes had
been quoted as saying that this matter
would probably be left to his decision,
E2ichardS smiled, and admitted that he
was a prophet of great note, thereupon
predicting that by the time the income
TAX laws comes to him for administra-
lion, there will be a clause in its ex-
smptlng CongreSSmen from taxation.
He pointed out that the first draft of
She Intangible personal property tax
aaw had contained no reference to the
property of Congressman, but by the
time 1t was enacted it exempted the
property of cabinet officers and per-
sons elected to positions in the United
states Government and resident in
washington only because of such cleo
ton. He said that one of the first to
pay tax on his intangible personally
under that law was Associate Justice
Oliver Wendell Holmes of the United
States Supreme Court.
