Transit Asks
Tax Refund

| d. c. Transit system, Inc,
today asked the District to re-
fund 1927 .303 in gross receipts
taxes end penalties paid under
protest November 20.
The refund claim is expected
to be preliminary to legal ac-
ton in an effort to force the
District to f6reeo the tax.
The tax issue already had
been in court. The transit firm
in the last year obtained two
temporary injunctions blocking
collection Of the tax.
The United States Court Of
Appeals on November said
the company should pay the
tax and then take the matter
TO court. however.
The District is expected TO
deny the refund request. The
transit firm is excused from
paying the 2 per cent gross
receipts tax under its fran
chise. but this exemption did
not apply to Capital Transit
Co. the present firms prede-
cessor. The city assessed the
tax in September. 1856. against
earnings Of the CAPITAL Transit
Co. before d. c. Transit took
over the transit operation on
August IS. 1856.
Corporation Counsel Chester
H, Gray said the city has based
its case on a provision Of the
transit franchise holding D. c
Transit liable for Capital
Transit debts.
The company. however
claims the city has no right to
collect the tax.
