DISTRICT FINANCES. Assessments and Taxes. ASREUAL REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT. The annual report of Mr. William Morgan, Superintendent of Assessments and Taxes, states that the number of transfers of prop- erty made during the calender year ending December 31, 1475, was about five thousand. Owing to the limited time given the asses- fers to make the annual assessment for the year ending June 30, 1577, they were unable to complete their labors and make a return of their assessment until November 13, 1876. ‘Tax books were prepared to enable the col- leetor to commence receiving taxes on the ‘with ult. but this was only accomplished bya temporary increase of force. The assessment for Washington city amounts to $81,246,817; Georgetown, $5,953,952; county, $5,754,433. Total assessment $95,985,- 212. Showing sm increase over the last annual assessment in Washington city of 92,477 915 py Georgetown £104,615. Total in- 2 BSD BZA. onal assessment under the late Jaw of Congress, as shown by the returns of the assessors as far as completed gives the following: Washington city, $12,011,469; Wi, $1,785,684; county, $454.10. ‘To- tal, $14,251 428. The suggestion is made that Congress be urged to pass the tax law for the year ending June 20, isis, at a very early date, thereby giving the assessors time to make the next assessment. thus affording the office ample time to complete the tax books in original and duplicate before they are delivered to the collector. Under the last law of Congress but twenty-five days were given to make the mecessary books after the completion of the annual assessment, the lenzth of Ume being =, inadequate to the proper perform- ance of the work required. ‘The superintendent requests that some steps be taken to preserve some valuable books of reference, ameng which are the general as- sessment books of 1864 and Is, whieh are now absolutely going to pieces, and which eoukl be resto at a comparatively small cost. These books are referred to almost daily by the difterent officials of the District, constantly by lawyers engazed in the examination of titles. “If something is not #eon done they will be entirely lost. The re- west is made that a resurvey of the city of Seergetown be made and a perfect plat of that city be made, showing each square and Jot. The increased revenue which would in ashort time be derived, would pay all the expense attached thereto, besides materially benefitting the citizens, many of w charged with more ground than thes while others éscape paying taxes on 4 large Pt ‘ion of what they actually own, attention of the District Commissioners is called to the small salaries allowed the elerks in this office. and a request made that they be placed on a footing originally de- signed by the law. ‘The Sinking Fund.

No interest has been paid on these bonds since the ist of July, 1*74, but in receiving them in settlement of assessments, interest is allowed on them to the date of such payment. There is in the bands of this commission, security for the ultimate redemption and e- Linetion of the above named amount of bonds, Assessments amounting to (exclusive of in- terest on them) $755,057.98.
