cities Boston) having a popula-
ton of 100000 or more.
The old intangible personal prop
erty tax was abolished in 1899. It's
income was 7 per cent of the total
general revenues. But when this
was done Congress adopted for the
District new laws imposing taxes
on individual incomes of persons
"domiciled' here, on corporation net
incomes, inheritances and estates
The income from these new taxes
for the calendar year 1915 was 20.5
per cent of the general revenue.
Cites New Factors.
Mr.. Stefan emphasized a number
of new factors in the Federal-Dis-
trict financial picture, including
these:
That foreign governments are
acquiring larger and more valuable
properties here, taking them off the
District tax rolls.
That Washington has far more
park areas than any other city of
comparable size nearly Is per cent
of the total land area, excluding
streets and alleys. Mr.. Stefan
agrees the National Capital should
have such extensive park areas but
contends this is so only because
this is the Nations Capital.
That if the United States were
assessed realty taxes on its present
land and buildings here, the taxes
would exceed $12, 4O7 900, or a sum
amounting to more than so per
cent of realty taxes now levied on
taxpayers.
That in the last five years the
United States acquired taxable land
and Improvements assessed at SIS
300,0 900; private tax exempt in
situations nearly s19,o0O,O0O, and
the city government more than
100000, with the result the city
lost tax revenues amounting to
about $685., 600 a year.
That, in keeping with new Ma
tional Capital development plans,
including proposals for mall east
of the Capitol Building, the Gov
eminent may acquire and take off
the tax rolls properties assessed
at more than s32,0000OO, which
would mean an annual District
revenue loss of more than 1858 900
That other large tax losses prob
ably will result from other Federal
land purchases and proposals for
large-scale, low-cost housing projects
in East Washington areas to reclaim
"blighted areas"
Jail Expenses Cited.
THE present 100000 paid an
nually by the United States toward
the expenses of the National Capt.
tai" said Mr.. Stefan, lis approx
mately only Al per cent of the value
of concessions granted the United
States by the District"
He reminded House members that
while the District paid more than
$l6l 900 in 1914 for support of Dis
trict prisoners in Federal institu-
tons, the United States does not pay
the District for Federal prisoners
held in District lockups. He called
attention also to the patients at St
Elizabeth's Hospital (nearly $1,000
charged against the District for more
than $3,290,000 a year and asked
DO you think for moment there
would be so many patients in that
institution from the District if this
were not the Capital City?"
Explaining that this was only part
of the story, he concluded: IF YOU
fail to render full justice to this Ma
tons capital, it will be only because
you fail to recognize its relationship
to all other cities, to all States ano
to all the people of this great Union.

IA Community Christmas tree
will be held tonight at 8 o'clock at
Hilton Park subject to the weather.
"The live oak tree has been
decorated with $50 lights and will
make a fine showing"
Morning Star, Dec. "a, 1929
Such was the modest beginning
of a great Wilmington tradition.
When these words were written,
the Hilton Park Christina stree was
a year old. 1t was not yet known
as "the worlds largest, and its
glories were not yet enshrined in
a Fox Movietone camerman's film.
The Star, on Christmas Day, re-
ported that, on the previous even
ing a "huge crowd" had gathered
to hear a "short, but impressive
program of praise, prayer and
SCRIPTURE"
Respectful, but calm enough,
words for the primary stages of a
great institutions development.
For the Hilton Park tree was to
become a great institution.
AS the years went on, through
the depths of depression, and fear
of war, up until the very eve of
war itself, the tree flourished.
It took on new Iuster until by

Yuletide Tree Tradition
Had Modest Beginning

1910, it's $50 lights had become
$500.
The tree became the focal point
for a city's holiday festival from
Christmas until the New Year;
school children sang their songs of
Noel at its feet; and people from
all over a nation stood each year
beneath Its branches.
There was a year when the city
fathers offered a prize to the auto
mobile which travelled the farthest
distance to end up in Hilton Park
and an Australian car Won top
honors.
In 1871, the shadow of Pearl
Harbor darkened the tree. Through
four years of war, and the first
joyous but Spartan year of peace,
Wilmington m a r k e d Christmas
without the lustre of its lights.
Last December Z, the city turned
them on again, and 10000 persons
came out to see their tree in its
ancient glory.
Such was the response that City
Manager J. R. Benson approved
suggestions that the lights be kept
burning for the rest of the month.
Because Christmas Eve for Will

with the Hilton Park tree, you can
