TAX ON REALTY
AWAITS PARLEY
.ON SUPPLY BILL
Deficit Will Govern
Amount of Levy
BY JULIA A. BONWIT

Final determination of the
amount of the real estate tax for
the fiscal year 1889 depended to-
day on Senate and House confer.
ence action on the appropriation
bill and it's resultant deficit.
The tax bill decided upon by
the House District Fiscal Affairs
subcommittee, with its graduated
income tax and whiskey and beer
levies, will yield approximately
S3,500.000 If the real estate tax Is
permitted 70 remain at the old
rate of $1.5o which prevailed un-
til last year.
However. the 1899 supply bill,
now awaiting conference action,
leaves the District with a deficit
of $4,7OO,Ooo.
TO REDUCE DEFICIT
Both Senate and House leaders
were agreed this deficit will be re-
duced in conference by swap.
ping" but at the same time, the
actual figure will not be known
for some time.
In the meantime, Representative
Jack Nichols CD of Oklahoma,
chairman of the tax Subcommit-
tee, is not calling his group to-
gether until next Monday, with
the expectation, it is understood.
that by that time the tax subcom.
mitee will be better informed on
the probable deficit.
He declared the subcommittee
final action is dependent on the
action of the conference on the
appropriation bill.
Representative Nichols is known
to. favor a reduction in the real
estate tax from the SITS rate
voted last year to $3.50.
EFFECT OF RATE
If the deficit remains at $4,7OO,.
900, the $1.6O rate will Just cover
the deficiency, provided the 70.
mainder of the tax program re-
mains as approved yesterday by
the tax subcommittee, with its
anticipated yield of $3,500,0O0. A
10-cent increase in the real estate
tax would return approximately
$1,2OO,O0O.
The income tax approved by
the tax group is expected to yield
$5,000,000 gross and 100000
net. The net figure is predicated
on crediting Of intangible prop.

Over at Fort Myer, the entire
post is swept with excitement.
Every man, from the highest rank
ing officer to the lowest rookie
recruit, is burning with one ques-
ton:
will Sir Conrad beat
Billy Do?"
And they do say that the wagerS
on the outcome of the rivalry be-
tween these two great jumping
horses run into a considerable
amount of money.
The final answer to the ques-
ton will be given at the last of
the spring indoor horse shows in
the riding hall Tuesday night by
the judges. who will carefully
check the two great horses as they
make Cnelr roundS over Ine Jumps.
For months now the two have
been running neck and neck in the
jumping competition for the cham
pionship of the post. First one,
then the other, has been on top
in the total number of points
scored. in the closest competition
ever held at the post.
At the present time, Sir Conrad
is out in front by a couple of
points, but it is entirely possible
that after the final course is run,
Billy Do may be named the win
