$1O,OOO,OOO May Be
Added To Tax Basis
Through Intangibles
Supervisor Of Assessments
Allen Sees Possible New
Sources

Possible addition of $4,000, 900 to
the Montgomery County tax basis
through ferreting out hitherto un-
taxed intangibles was predicted by
Wilton T. Allen, supervisor of
assessments in report to the board
Tuesday.
Allen, who has been going over
Federal income tax returns for 1896
for several weeks, said he already
had recovered $500 in taxes on in
tangible property, although only
about 1 per cent of the property
owners had filed returns as a result
of his billing.
The work of going over the 1886
returns is about one-half completed,
he said, and as soon as it is finished
the 1887 returns will be scrutinized.
The tax rate on this type of prop
ert yis 45 cents per $10O, of which
80 cents goes to the county, and Is
cents to the State. Addition of the
$1O,000,O00 basis predicted by Allen
would return 100000 to the county
annually.
According to Allen, the county
is allowed to tax back for three
years on all unpaid or unreported
intangibles. The 1886 return, he
said, may give the county tax yield
of as high as $4,000 due to the
fact that the imposition of the Fed
eral undistributed profits tax that
year evoked unusually large dividend
payments from many corporations.
The board announced Tuesday
after conference with DR.. Edwin
w. Broome, superintendent of
schools, that it was not prepared to
make a commitment regarding new
school construction until after prep
aration of the levy for the coming
fiscal year.
1t was indicated, however, that
an attempt will be made to provide
in the levy for purchase of from
IL to 13 acres in Takoma Park for
a new junior high school, and for
a purchase of 10 acres on Massa-
chusetts Avenue extended for a new
elementary school. Further efforts
will be made to build the first unit of
the elementary school at an appro-
pirate cost of $16O,OOO although it
was stated that the Takoma Park
unit probably will not be started
this year.
A recommendation by DR.. V. L..
Ellicott, county health officer, that
all milk producers be ordered to keep
their milk at a temperature not
above 55 degrees while being deliv-
cred to plants was received but no
definite action was taken.
