by non-residents of the District, ap-
propriate credit should be allowed
against the District tax, providing
the laws of such State or territory
imposing the tax grant a substan-
TALLY reciprocal arrangement in
favor Of District residents.
There are other provisions of the
existing law which apparently
should be amended, for example.
those provisions which may impose
collectively interest charges at the
rate Of 10 per cent per annum. If
possible, this amending law should
be made applicable to 1889 incomes
of individuals.
The assessor reported that District
residents during the past fiscal year
faced assessments of various kinds,
excepting water rents and some mis-
cellaneous accounts, of about $34,-
100000.
Realty Assessments.
The real estate assessment for the
past fiscal year, he reported
amounted to s1,211,203 ,484, on which
there was a tax levy of $21 ,196, 1893
both an increase over the previous
year. Since his report was pre-
pared, his Office has completed as
sessments for the new fiscal year
which began last July l, under
which the total realty assessments
would be 1927 937 ,085 or an in
crease of some $26, 1000 900; and the
tax levy would be s21 1854, 137, or
an increase of $467,739.
A new record for gasoline tax
receipts was established during the
past fiscal year, reaching s3,O02,-
42456 Mr.. Dent reported. This
represented an increase of s242,-
$3.50 over the previous fiscal year
and was contrasted with a collec-
ton of 1921 ,8704 AZ in 1925. the first
full year of the levying of the gaso-

taxpayer and the District. The I'M
certainty of the matter pending
court Interpretation OF the income
tax law prohibits definite decisions
and, to say the least, presents,
therefore, an embarrassing situation
In administering this section of the
law.
Aside from the objection from
the administrative standpoint to
that part of the existing law which
taxes incomes of individuals. there
is to be considered the question that
If the word 'domiciled' as used in
the act is finally interpreted as de-
fined in the Sweeney decision, then
there is discrimination in taxing
those residents of the District who
do not claim domicile elsewhere and
in exempting from the tax those
persons who are residents of the
District, but who claim domicile
elsewhere and yet receive the same
protection and benefits of the Dis
trict government as the persons who
claim the District as their domicile.
Secondly, if by later court de-
cision it is incumbent upon the Dis
trict to refund the tax to the ma
jority OF those who claim refund
because Of domicile elsewhere, then
some other source of taxation must
be found to meet the loss of current
revenue under this section of the
existing law and probably to provide
substantial sum to reimburse tax
payers for income taxes enormously
collected in a prior year or years.
Tax Credit Favored.
I'm view of this situation, it is
believed most essential that legis-
lation be enacted changing the
present law to tax individuals resid-
ing In the District for a period Of
six months or more during the tax
able year, as well as those who were
domiciled in the District on the
last day of the taxable year, and
to tax non-residents on income re-
ceived from District sources. The
question of the exemption from the
tax of income Of certain individuals
such as persons holding elective or
judicial Office, is one that should be
decided by higher authority.
ITO avoid double taxation by the
District and any State or territory
on income derived without the Dis
trict by District residents and on
income derived from District sources

A.-Even though your concrete
floor seems to be dry, enough mois-
ture will come through to rot a
wood floor laid over it and to at
tract bugs. Your best move will
be to put down heavy roofing felt,
stuck with asphalt. Over this you
can lay a wood floor in a kind of
waterproof cement known as mas
tic. which will hold the boards
tightly without mailing. The proc
ess is understood by good floor
