Ex-Assessor Fish's Testimony Before the Assessment Investigating Commtttec. Speaking of the matter of assesements Mr. Ros A. Fish when testifying before the com- mittee investigating the District assessment Sat- urday held that in this District they were greatly in favor of the holders of property and ad- verse to small holders. Small buildings were taxed about cighty percent of their value, while larger ones w. only assessed at about twenty percent At that time, in 1889, according to Mr. Fish, the city was losing $1.000,000 in taxes. The assessment especially on F, 14th and 7th streets, Mr. Fish said, were grossly wrong. In answer to Mr. Johnson's question Mr. Fish stated that he thought property should be taxed at its full value. A permanent board of assessors should be established who should assess the cash value of the property at that time. The present board of assessors, he thought, wero upright, honorable men, although he thought the rule of assessing what property would bring under adverse circumstances entirely wrong. Mr. Johnson asked Mr Fish what would be the effect of taxing only the land. Mr. Fish d that if the land was taxed the full value d the improvements not taxed at all the revenue of the city would be greatly increased from the present amount, Mr. Johnson followed with a number of questions on tne line of the singie tax idea and Mr. Fish testified that he thought it would be an advantage to the city to exempt ail improvements from taxation, The building of better structures would be encouraged, rent would be cheapened old buildings would ‘be replaced by new ones, the suburban property residents would come back into the city and in short a practical millennium would arrive for Washington. Mr. Fish figured that the land in the Dis- trict of Columbia had a present value of $20,000,000, whereas five years ago the value had only Been about $46,000,000. This in- crease, according to Mr. Fish, had almost en- tirely gone into the pockets of. real estate speculators, gee United Order of the Golden Cross. Citadel of Meridian Commandery, No. 178 of U. O.
