THE DISTRICT LICENSES. Assessor Trimble Suggests Some New Legis- lation. MIS REPORT FOR THE LICENSE YEAR—BE THINES THERE SHOULD BE SOME NEW INSUBANCE LAWS--THE RECEIPTS FROM LIQUOR LICENSES— ‘MOTELS AND BOARDING HOUSES. The assessor of the District, Mr. Trimble, has snbmitted to the District Commissioners « supplemental report on licenses covering the operations of the license year just closed. The | report says that the receipts from licenses show an increase, notwithstanding the fact that the Distriet early in the license year was en- joined from collecting revenue from the sale of liquors within » considerable ares of territory. ‘The subject of a proper regulation of this traftic always has and ever must command the eurnest attention of all good citizens During the year 650 bar room and 434 wholesale licenses were issued, showing a decrease of forty-three bar room and thirty-one wholesale licenses. passage of the law referred to—the Sol- hr jor aplaathe-h limit legislated out forty-two retail and thirty-three rs. Of this number the pro- prietors of fifteen ber rooms were in possession ‘of their licenses when the law was passed. These bave now expired and as matter of course cannot be renewed. Parties affected by this law demurred to the construction of the authorities as to the area of territory covered, claiming the law should be construed to mean ‘one mile from the Soldiers’ Home property by the nearest traveled highwa: ‘This question was referred to the attorney for the District of Columbia, whe promptly decided that the law ay meant that noficense should be issued for any place located within one mile of any portion of the Soldiers’ Home property in a straight line. This view was adopted.

The amount collected was $158,200.57. This amount is credited to the various sources hereto appended, via: The receipts from licenses during the year were as follows: Apothecaries, $670.36: auction- cers, $1,424.82; brokers, $1,000; Yacks and bankers, $442.42; bar rooms, £75,8°6.93; brew- ers, #125; bill posters, €20: billinrd and other tables, &:.. $2,330-44;' cattle rovers, $483.3 ice, $164; deale: $78.01; dealers in old barrels, #80: entertainments, circuses, balls, d&c., '€2,200; lycks, cabs and vehicles, 3,390.41; hotels, ¢3,948.93; intelligence offices, 690.01; insurance companies and agents, €13,- livery stables, =: ; manufacturers inating gas, $1,972; peddlers, 1,270. wnbrokers, 2600; produce dealers at larg 971.77; produce dealersin markets, £4,620.01; restaurants, 26,817.22; real estate agente, $10,- 341.58; theaters, $700.’ ‘Total, $158,200.57. The increase over the preceding yoar was $2,415.39. “A comparison of the iucrcase and decrease of reveuue derived from various sources,” the report continues, “will serve to illustrate facta which have from time to time been re- ferred to in reports from this office, calling at- tention to the necessity of new legislation to equalize and perfect license system, which, as before stated, I believe, properly and judi- ciously administered, is capable of producing a revenue of 3500,000 without imposing addi- tional burdens of taxation upon those wi y. The collection of personal taxes js con- Baca to comparatively few, while the majority eseape altogether, beeause the license laws do not include them. From time to time the Dis- trict is the sufferer financially by decisions of the courts in the construction of the license laws. Acareful revision should remedy this. The revenue from the markets is steadily de- creasing, owing partially to this and partly to the fact that the dealer outside pays nothing while those inside are taxed. fame con- dition of inequality extends throughout the entire list of trades and professions taxed in this District. BANKS AND FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS. “The receipts from these institutions are stendily decreasing, although the prosperity of our city is indicated by their constantly in- ereasing number and the elegance and besuty of their financial homes. Congress on the ist day of October, 1890, passed a law prescribing @ taxon loan and trust companies in lieu of mal taxes, and this office, in due course of Easiness made demand upon them fo: the pay- ment of «tax as bankers under the require- ments of the license laws. This bad heretofore been paid in addition to the personal tax, for whieh the t law was substituted. ‘The companies demurred, and claimed that Congress intended by the passage of the act to include both personal and license taxes, although it was not so expressed. This view upon being refer to the attorney for the Dhtrict was sustained by him and approved. “In connection with the revision of ourlicense Jaws I beg to say that for over twelve years the license tax on the cars of the various street rail with three exceptions, have not cases were, I believe, prose- in liquors (whole funk, $2,533.51; cuted in yerve decision, from which, I believe, the District made no sppeals, The conditions or requirements of existing law in reference to horees us the motive power are rapidly bein; nullified by the modern systems of cables and electricity.

I again renew my recom- \dation of last yeur that boarding and lodg- ing houses be required to register by the pay: ment of # nominal fee. By this means the loca- tion and capacity of every house for public en- tertainmeni in the District would be a matter of record and available for the use of those having charge on public occasions. -—————— ALEXANDKEIA, ” FIRES SOON EXTINGUISHED, The dwelling of Mrs. Edward Lawler, on Wolfe street between Royal and Pitt streets, caught fire this morning in the upper story from a stoveand a hole was burned through the floor. ‘The alarm called out the firemen and the fire was put out before it spread. ‘A slight fire at the small frame tenement of Edward Jones, on Henry street near Wolfe, cecasioned a fire alarm yesterday afternoon.

The last ventare of street railways in this city was in the summer of 1873, by the Alexandria Passenger Railway Co., which gave up the enterprise in the sum- mer of 1875.
