The annual reportot the Board of Asses- Sors has been submitted to the District Com- missioners in answer to a request of the latter that the assessors state the reason why the law was not executed as to the assess- ments on personal property. The report opens with the correspondence between the District Commissioners and the chairman of the Board of Assessors last spring showing ‘why personal ‘was not assessed. (This cor lence was published in THE STAR at that time. COMPARISON OF OUR ASSESSMENT WITH Hines cities iran pected After recitin; by the board, state that having been | brought tm con’ with the resident holders they availed themselves of the oppor- tunity of comparing standard ted, for the assessment of property in this Dis- trict with that adopted in other cities in the states and territories. In every instance when nou-residents were property holders in | this District and owners of Lace re in other | ecetions of the country, co.nplaint was made that the assessment of our was higher in proportion to its value than in the state or city when the complaining ey held other estate, and in examining various tax lawsof other places the board found that while those laws require the prope.ty to be assessed at its true cost value, the assessors have uniformly adopted measures of value | Something less than that t pecified »n the law on theory that, as the assessment is to stant for aterm of years, itis just and proper to provide fora possible depreciation in price, and also on the ground that the LOWEST CASH PRICE under clreutnstances the most aivantageons to the property, is the measure designed to be established by the statute. Under this *ystem it has become the recognized cust »m throughout the country not to assess property at more than one-third or one-half its caso value, as estimated for commercia! purposes in the market. “This board,” 1 says, “determined to follow as ne: sible the letter of the law, and has aszessc.. the property of this Distri¢t at the same rate it would have estimated such property for 2 commercia! transaction in cash; and this fact should be considered by Congress in any comparison as regards the percentum to be levied upon the tax-payers of the District of Columbia with the centum levied In the several and respective states. It is of easy demonstration tbat one dollar aod Sty ceats perecentem upon the one hundrel dollars, ibe present tax,) taking the high rate of assessment, is proportionally a heavier tax- ation than in other sections where the per ecntum is double but the rate of assessment greatly less. TAXATION ON PERSONAL PROPERTY. The provisions of the law in regard to the taxation of personal property developed mapy expressions of opinion as to the policy of levying sucha tax in the District of Co- lumbia for its support. The law was evi- dently designed to make a certain class of property contribute its jon toward the expenses of the District; but it is equally apparent that this object would have been defeated to a great — by = col i i oft le property into property non-taxa- ble under the Taw fast or to the day fixca for its assessment and its reconversion when that day had passed, thereby leaving those who beld non-convertible commodities to bear the burden of the tax. The board had the satisfaction of an explanation from a number of citizens from other sections of the country as to how the personal tax laws were executed in their respective states ar cities. If the statements of these gentieme are correct—and the board has no evidence to the contrary—it is painful tocontemplate, and greatly to the discredit of the who! country, that any population should be in- vited, tempted and forced to commit the amount of perjury that is evidently com- mitted under ali systemsof law providing for the taxation of personal property, and having the inquisitorial features of the act passed at the last seeston of Congress. After considering all the advantages and disad- vantages of the taxation of personal property, the members of the board are compelled to say that such a tax would perate very detrimentally in this District. The District of Columbia not being a com- mercial or manufacturing place, depending entirely upon the disbursements of the gen- eral government and outside capital for its prosperity, the accumulated wealth sup- posed to be taxable does not exist. It was trathfally Lpryor in one = the pope pot last session of Cony When the per centum to be levied for taxation for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1576, was under considera- on, “that the city depended entirely upon the government, and upon inviting outside capital, not for speculation, but for the tem- porary abode of the citizens of states of | wealth. culture and education, and making the city of Washington (the capital of the nation) a cheapand attractive resort.” It is not difficult to conclude that ail such citi- zens of the staies able to indulge their tastes by baving a home in Washington, if followet closely with a personal tax, would accom- modate themselves with @ very temporary residence in this city, if they came here at | all. After fully considering the whole sub- | ject the board récommends (in lteu of a per- sonal tax) a system of licenses for all perm nent business pursuits. similar to that pri vided for by —t laws. Many reforms might be introduced into the existing system. of assessment for the purpose of taxation. — The board was much embarrassed in makin ‘AN ASSESSMENT OF THE IMPROVEMENTS, having, according to former usage in this particular, given such improvements a s perficial view, and thereby making concla- sions by no means satisfactory, possibly do- ing great injustice to many, and produciug an unreliable record of the actual value of the improvements assessed. The board | would suggest for the correction of these ir- | regviarities that in whatever law may be passed for the levying of taxes for the year ending June 30, 1817, there should be a pro- vision for A PERMANENT BOARD OF ASSESSORS, with full and well deuned powers, to go im- mediately to work, with authority to make any corrections in the present assessment that might be found necessary, taking the present assessment of the land as conclusive, and re-assessing all the improvemeats, by requiring the property owners to report ina schedule specifically setting forth everything relating thereto, and asseasin; a rate rela- tive to the value, specifically designated iu the law. This once done, would give perma- | rency and reliability to the appraisal, and Would be an invaluable guide in the fature for all business transactions, such as insur- ance, sales and mortgages. OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS, Some provision should be made as regards the status of unfinished improvements in the course of completion during the fiscal year, fo that the same may be p! don the assessment books, to contribute their just and fair proportion of the tax. The large smount of improvements that are co:- pleted subsequent to the time for making the assessment escapes taxation under tue existing law. Power should also be vested in the board of assessors to assess improve- ments @t the time of hac gop and for this purpose the board should have access to the records of the superintendent of buildings. Such provisions in the law would enable the assessors to advance the assessment with the progress of the District. The duties of the of assessors, of the collector, and of the superintendent of assessments aud taxes, should be so modified in their relations to each other as to work harmoniously and with greater economy.
