The need for q new law covering
sales Of real estate for delinquent taxes
in the District was emphasized by Dis
trict Auditor Daniel J. Donovan and
District Assessor William P. Richards
during hearings, made public today, be-
fore the subcommittee drafting the Dis
trict appropriation bill. Such a bill
submitted by the District Commission
ers is now awaiting action before House

Both the auditor and assessor pointed
out that on delinquent tax sales an out
slider buying the property for taxes
charges IL per cent interest during the
two-year period in which the owner IS
allowed to redeem the property. When
the District government bits it in the
owner is charged per cent.
Mr.. Richards said that this year the
list of delinquent taxes Is greater than
ever before. With about 81 100000
worth of overdue taxes, where ordinar-
lily there is approximately $500, 900 real
lied from the sale only 100000 was
taken in this year.
Representative Blanton, Democrat,
OF Texas suggested that language
might be written into the appropriation
act to correct this situation, but was
advised that study had shown an en-
tirely new act was preferable.

$4,000 have been sold for $4,000 or
$1,000.
During the last year we have had
appeals on a great many pieces of prop
erty in which they asked for about a
20 per cent reduction because of the
decrease in building costs. We have
allowed from to 10 per cent reduc-
tions. These changes affected 1,541

was about S12,000,000"

use of automobiles, however, has
markedly decreased the need for this
type of service" Mr.. Radcliffe said to-
day.

George c. Havenner Is chairman Of the
Membership Committee.
The fund, Mr.. Radcliffe said, expects
to cooperate closely with the Com
munity Center Department and other
groups sponsoring community celebra-
tions. The conducting of the July 4

Sylvan Theater were among the activ-
tiles of the fund last year,
