Committee May Urge
Higher License Fees
For Housing in District

Proposed higher license fees for
apartment houses, hotels and ROOM
ing houses here may be disclosed
at public meeting Wednesday, a
District committee studying the sub
iect indicated today after some real
estate dealers and owners protested
against the suggested increases.
Taxes and fees have almost be-
come burden that apartment own
ers cannot carry, Morris Cafritz,
Washington real estate man and
builder, told the committee yester-
Cay at session in the Municipal
Center Building. Mr.. Cafritz de-
clared heavy building and operating
costs in the multiple housing field
are driving investment people into
nearby Maryland and Virginia,
wnere fees and taxes are lower than
in the District.
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Milton D. Norman, committee sec
retary, said yesterdays session was
to get the reaction of real estate
dealers and others before Wednes-
days public meeting and before the
committee submits its final report
to the Commissioners. Mr.. Norman
the committee received "a
fair amount of consent" to the pro-
posed new regulations, although sew
eral Of the speakers felt the sug-
gested fees were a little too high
for their particular business.
The committee was appointed four
years ago by the Commissioners but
ran into difficulties because Con-
gress, until almost the end of the
last session, failed to revise the
License Act of 1882. particularly by
clarifying the definitions Of multi
pie housing, rooming houses and so
forth.
District officials have said the
present schedule of license fees for
such housing does not bring in
enough revenue to cover the cost of
and other administrative
expenses.
The proposed new schedules and
regulations will be discussed Mon
day at a meeting of the management
group of the Washington Real
Estate Board. A board official said
the group will try to work out plan
that will not penalize property
owners.
