L. A. Cline. general manager OF
Dy-Dee Wash Of Washington, Inc,
is trying to figure out what leads
the District Government to value
five identical motor trucks at four
different figures.
1T doesn't look right" he said
in bewilderment today. apparently
regarding dy-dee washing as a lot
less puzzling than buying license
plates for trucks for deliveries.
This is the situation as Mr..
Cline related it:
The company bought five trucks
which, as far as can be seen. are
identical. The prices were identi-
cal, too. Recently it received ap-
plication cards for l949 license
plates for the trucks, each card
bearing the valuation of a par
ticular truck.
Two of the trucks bear success
sive serial numbers, so Mr.. Cline
figured one followed the other of
the assembly line. One was valued
by the assessors office at $400, re-
quiring $44 for a license. The
other was valued at $640 Qicense
tag. $4,000.
One Of the other three trucks
was valued at $500 and the two
remaining were valued at $3.50
each.

Voryinq D. 6. Fees for Identical
Dy-Dee Trucks Stump Manager

But that isn't all. Dy-Dee
Wash, Inc, bought another COM
pany, and with it came two more
trucks. Again, in Mr.. Cline's eyes,
they are identical. But not in the
eyes of the assessor. One was
valued at $l,370 ($63.40 for the
license), the other at $1,165.
Finally, the $64 question: Why
should a truck-only one this
time-have two different valua-
tions? Mr.. Cline and an associate
organized the Medical Equipment
Service Co. and bought a truck.
They sent in a card noting q
change in address for the license
of the truck.
There came two applications
for license plates for that truck.
On one card the vehicle was
valued at $625, while the other
bore a value of $3.50.
Now, why-?" asked the
mystified Mr.. Cline. I'm trying
to find out" he added.
The District tax assessors Of
flee, to which tag applications are
referred for valuation of the vehi-
cles, said their valuations are
based on the cost, and that altera-
tions in models of similar type,
make and year would change the
assessments. The spokesman ad-
mitted, however. that vehicles
which are identical should have
identical valuations.

Car Tag Demand Lags;
Director Fears Jam

The number OF District auto
license tags issued since March l
is tagging more than $500 behind
the total at this date last year
George E. Keneipp. director OF
vehicles and traffic, expects a jam
on March 81. the last day for tag
distribution.
At this time last year 30,244
tags had been issued. To date the
number is 27,731 and the tag line
at the Municipal Center this
morning was slim.
With approximately 1000 tags
still to be issued, he said. the rate
will have to increase about 1.500
a day to get through on time. The
issuing machinery is geared to
handle up to 1000 applications a
day. The rate so far has been
about 1000.
Mr.. Keneipp said the deadline
has not been extended since 1887
and that he contemplates no ex-
tension this year.
The director said he believes the
main reason for the lag is eco
nomic" more people have new
cars and have to pay higher per-
sonal property taxes on them
Other reasons. he said. include
waiting for delivery of new cars
this month and the fact that
many new District residents are
accustomed to extensions In their
home States.
