Transit Limousine Tax
By District Is Approved

tested d. c. Transit's claim for
an exemption. The excise tax
is levied only at the time of the
purchase of a vehicle and is not
assessable thereafter.
Gray's Opinion
Mr. Gray's opinion to the
Commissioners said:
when it is considered that
every other limousine in charter
service and every taxicab. in
GLIDING those which are en-
ployed on an hourly basis. is
subject to the 2 per cent excise
tax, and that while Congress
gives the (Transit) corporation
a monopoly on mass transporta-
ton, it did not extend that
monopoly to operations Of this
special type of service, it is my
opinion that Congress did not
intend to grant the corporation
"a competitive advantage over
every operator of this special
type Of service in the District.
ITO grant the corporation
exemption from the excise tax
claimed by it on its limousines
would constitute discrimination
1T is possible that a court, in
constituting the exemption, might,
in the light Of the foregoing
facts, hold that it is an unlawful
discrimination. That being so,
1t is my opinion that the Com
missioners should not adopt q
construction Of the act which
would impute to the language
used by Congress a discrimina-
ton, the legality of which is
doubtful"

INAUGURAL SIDELIGHTS
Warmer Weather Remains only Hope
For Send Free Parade Route

The post-Inaugural Parade
cleanup is usually headache
enough for the Districts sani-
ltation division. but this year the
outfit has pre-parade worries as
well.
There's all that sand to get
off the parade and formation
streets before the marching be-
gins.
So far. work crews have been
manicuring the line of march
with their big power brooms.
But brooms aren't enough"
according to William A. Xanten,
sanitation director. What really
needs to be done. he added. is
to apply the hose.
But if we do that during this
subfreezing weather. we'd be rid
of the sand but would have ice
Instead, so we'll need to sand it
all over again." he said.
The division is pinning its
hopes on a warmup at least to
IS degrees so the hosing can
proceed.

D. C. Transit System, Inc,
must pay the District excise
tax on its aforementioned Cadil-
laos just as the operators of other
limousines and taxicabs used for
sightseeing purposes must do.
So ruled Corporation Counsel
Chester H. Gray in an opinion
to the District Commissioners.
The Commissioners said yester-
day they had approved Mr..
Gray's opinion.
Although the actual amount
involved so far is only about
$500, the basic question was
Just how far Congress intended
the company to have a monopoly
over transportation facilities
here.
Mr.. Gray said Congress. in CIV
ing d. c. Transit a monopoly
on mass transportation, did not
extend a competitive advantage
to the company for its sightsee-
ing business.
Transit President o. Roy
Chalk had sought an exemption
from the Districts 2 per cent
excise tax on the % Cadillac
limousines it has acquired-at
about $500 each--so far. He
has not paid the tax on the first
three cars purchased but paid
about $3.50 on 10 others.
Paid Under Protest
Mr.. Chalk said the tax was
paid under protest SO the We
hicles could be in operation by
the time visitors arrive over the
week end for the inauguration
on Monday.
District Finance Officer James
L. Martin said the company
would be billed for. the remain
ing tax--about $450-on the
other three vehicles and any
others that may be acquired
subsequently.
