BAL T|MORE REALTY
TAX BOOST FOUGHT
Reduction in Operating, Ex-
penses Is Demanded by
Two Agencies.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special D1spatcn 10 1he Oter.
BALTIMORE. Nd. November 12.-
Vigorous protests against an increase
in the tax rate on real estate developed
in two sources this week. The Real
Estate Board and the Apartment
House Association voiced demands for
reduction of government expenses in
opposing increased property taxes.
Throwing down the gauntlet to
Mayor Jackson, the Real Estate Board
announced it would fight Ito the last
ditch" any attempt to increase the
present rate of $2.45 per $1O0.
The board, in advertisements in the
daily papers, asked taxpayers to pro-
test by phone calls and letters to the
mayor In addition, the organization
forwarded letters to 1000 associations
of home owners, banks, mortgage COM
panies, building associations and similar
groups urging mobilization of "all the
forces within reach to sound loud
and vigorous demand that the cost of
government in Baltimore be reduced
by at least $5,321, 900 recommended by
the commission on governmental ef-
ficiency and economy"
In q letter to Mayor Jackson the
board said:
"You have freely admitted to us and
have been quoted on numerous occa-
sions In the newspapers as being con-
vinced that real estate, which pays 80
per cent Of direct taxes collected by
Baltimore City, can stand no additional
burdens, yet your tentative budget con-
templates tax rate of SO for 1888 as
against $2.45 for this year.
Under the present economic con-
ditions and the consequent depletion
of income from real estate, any ad-
ditional burden in the form Of increased
taxation placed on it at this time will
be conflscatory"
A strong protest against any increase
In the present real estate tax was filed
by the Apartment House Association,
composed of owners of apartments here,
representing interests of approximately
$4,000, 900. The protest says, in part:
"AS large taxpayers and citizens, we
insist that the city meet its budget by
reducing its expenditures for operating
expenses. It is our opinion that it is
possible to make a very large cut in
the operating budget, and we feel that
before any additional revenue sources
are tapped these reductions in expenses
should be made"
