NEW HIGH IN TAX
DEL|NQUENC|ESSET
Figures Show 18 Per Cent
of Levies Unpaid at End
of Fiscal Year.

A new high mark for delinquency in
real estate tax payments to the Dis
trict Government was established at
the close Of the fiscal year ended June
80, current analysis shows.
At that time, unpaid realty taxes
amounted to S3,856, 500 out of a total
levy of S20.899,000, showing a delin-
quency of about Is Ger cent.
Since June 80. however. officials re-
port, nearly S1,00O,OO0 has been paid
up by delinquents, greatly reducing the
percentage unpaid but still leaving the
record standing.
Economy Plan Blamed.
This situation is regarded by officials
as due partially to adoption of the Gov
ernment economy program which
brought on the Is per cent pay cut
to the Federal and District establish
ments.
Officials anticipate that very large
portion of the remainder of the un-
paid taxes will come in during en-
suing months Of this year, in keeping
with the experience of past years. They
have in mind also announcement that
the administration is considering res
toration of half the cut in pay next
January, and also the expected i'm
provement of business employment
conditions.
The grand total of unpaid realty
taxes on the books June 80. including
amounts brought forward from years
dating back to 1877, was reported yes
terday by Tax Collector Towers to be
s5,267,675 At the end of the fiscal
year 1882 the corresponding total was
s3,310,205, and at the end of 1881,
s3,114,335.
Per Cent in Former Years.
In pre-depression days, the annual
delinquency in real estate taxes
normally amounted to about per cent
of the levy, instead of 18 per cent, and
the great proportion of this was wiped
from the books by the annual tax deed
sales.
Unpaid intangible personal property
taxes at the end of the fiscal year 1888
totaled $1,054,000, as compared with
1888, 400 on June 30, 1892 For the
year 1888 alone these unpaid taxes
totaled $124,OO0, while for the year 1882
the figure was $135, 1929.
At the close of the 1888 fiscal year
unpaid tangible personal property taxes
on the books totaled $2,931 ,143, as COM
pared with $2,790,000 at the same time
year previous. For 1888 alone tangi-
BILE taxes in arrears totaled $220,000, as
compared with $209.711 for 1882.
In anticipation OF more serious tax
collection situation than had existed in
the past, Congress last Spring passed
a measure to permit the payment OF
real estate taxes in quarterly INSTALL
ments, instead of semi annually as
formerly.
To date some 5000 taxpayers, out OF
total estimated at $1,000, have taken
advantage of this change
Two other major changes calculated
to encourage taxpayers are the reduc-
ton of 20 cents in the realty tax rate
from S1.70 to $1.50 and 100000, ,OOO
reduction in real estate assessments
ordered into effect for the new fiscal
year by the District Commissioners
These two changes are figured to effect
saving of more than $3,000,000 to local
taxpayers.

HERE TOMORROW
Federal Employees Hope to
Eliminate Slash in
Pay.
QUESTI0NNAIRES ONLY
FIRST STEP IN SURVEY
More Detailed Information Will Be
Sought From Cross-Section
Of Workers.

The cost-of-living study on which
rests the hope of Government workers

per cent pay cut, will be started here
tomorrow.

tionnaires will be distributed to every

President Roosevelt. and with the CO.
operation of the Bureau of Home Eco.
nomics of the Department of Agricul-
ture.
More Detail Later.
When returns from the first question
naires are in hand, more detailed in
formation will be sought from a typical
cross section of Federal workers on
actual living costs.
The first QUESTIONABLE asks:
Length of employment: place Of resi-
dence: sex: classification: how living
that is, household status; dependents;
whether there are boarderS In the fam
lily. and if home owner.
1t also asks whether the employe has
any figures available on living casts for
the past five years.
Cooperation Asked.
The QUESTIONABLE explains that the
employe may be asked for expenditures
in the past year, and urges that this
data be prepared for early availability
if requested.
The living cost study will be carried
on elsewhere also in connection with
the proposed establishment Of a new
cost of Living index which is the basis
for adjusting Government pay.
It is intended to have the study COM
pleted by December 81. the next date on
which the pay schedule is to be fixed.
