And this double raise would
be only half the tax increase
story for a substantial number
of property owners in Washing
ton. The other half is the mat
ter of the city's real estate as
seSsments, which are the dollar
base for the tax levy.
Under the Districts system,
the Finance office attempts to
assess property at SIS per cent
of its actual market value. The
tax rate then is applied to this
assessment to determine the
annual tax payment.
For most property owners,
the first Jump in the real estate
tax bills since the rate was
lifted from 1920 to $3.50 in
1856 came during the fiscal
year beginning July /, 1859.
ReassesSment Reflected
1t was then that the results
Of the Districts first city-wide
reassessment program, which
began in 1856, were reflected in
the tax bills,
About 100000 pieces of pro-
perty were checked by the Fin
ance Office. The value on a
sizeable number was not chang
ed, and the assessment figure
on others was lowered. But the
net result was a $168 million
increase, up to more than $2.2
billion, in the total assessment
figure for taxable property.
With these property values
as a starting point, the city be-
gan a new program designed tc
review the value Of every lot
and building at least once every
four-year period, Finance Of

The Finance office statistics
indicate that each year the as
sessed value has been raised OF

Item: While $4,000 firms
were born in 1861, this was
about the same as in 1860 and
nearly 100000 companies died
last year. The deaths in
recovery 1861 were 3.5 per cent
higher than in recession 1860
Item: The growth in the
business population has slowed
to about l per cent in the
past two years and the number
of firms in manufacturing now
is actually lower than it was
10 years ago.
Item: The failure rate i'm
proved in June, but the i'm
provement was exceedingly
spotty and among manufactur-
ing business failures hit a
seven-month high.
Item: AS the improvement in
June was highly Selective by
line of business, so it was Sc
lective by geographical distri-
button. Most of the improve
ment was concentrated in a
few States-New York, Illinois,
Michigan, Alabama, Louisiana,
In Colorado and Arizona the
failure rate is way up.
The pattern is unmistakable
Why? Dun g. Bradstreet has
made a breakdown of the
causes of the 17,075 failures
which it recorded in 1861
(highest since 1881 into these
categories: inexperience, ass
per cent; incompetence, 44.4
per cent; neglect, 3 per cent;
fraud, l.3 per cent; disaster
0.8 per cent; reason unknown
3.6 per cent.
Competition Is Basic
But underlying all these fun
damentals is the No. / funda-

There have been violent shift!

been compounded since tht

Market analysts. who had
confidently expected a renewed
