William Brown, ten years old, was knocked down by a horse near 8th and P streets yesterday afternoon and slightly injured. He was taken to Davis’ drug store for treatment. John Byrd, a boy who lives at 1103 O street northwest, made complaint to the Police last night that he had been robbed. His overcoat was stolen from a vacant lot where he was playing, and a colored boy says he saw a woman take it. The police are looking for the woman. The District Commissioners have ap- pointed Ellen Smith cook at the Washing- ton Asylum, at $120 per annum, vice Caro- line Frazier. ‘The District Con missioners have directed that the plumber's license of J.

Kintz the 18th last month to store street sweep- ings on the James Creek canal between I has been revoked by the RAILWAY TAKATION Todapi / The Present Method of Assessment Explained. SOME QUESTIONS® ASKED The subcommittee on railways of the House District committee resumed con- sideration this morning of Representative Odell’s bill relating to taxation of street railways, which was published in The Star yesterday. A Mr. Trimble, the asséssor of taxes of the District, appeared before the comniitteo by request of Chairman Babcéek. Mr. Odel?’s Explanation. Mr. Odell explained the probable effect of the bill. The first proposition in “the bill, he said, is to tax the frarichiseé of sireet railways on the basis of the valué-of the stock. It is assumed that a stock which pays 6 per cent dividends is supposed to be at par in value, and stocks paying less are held to be below par. That is the plan in operation under the New York law, of which his bill is a copy. The tax is to be levied on the value of the stock at‘ithe time It is ap- praised for taxation. The bill provides for the taxation of common stock and pre- ferred stock in case two kinds are issued by the railroad. Mr. Odell said he had:found one railway here, incorporated under the laws of an- other state, which has paid no tax to the District. His bill would correct this dis- crimination. Real and Personal Property. Proceeding to the second section of the bill, which requires the real and personal Property of the street railways to be as- sessed upon the same ‘basis as all city property, in addition to the franchise tax mentioned above, Mr. Odell said this would increase the taxation of the Metropolitan and Columbia lines, which pay a sum equal only to 4 per cent of the year’s receipts, while the Capital Traction Company pays the 4 per cent and the realty tax also. Mr. Nathaniel Wilson, representing the Columbia railway, made a computation for the committee of the probable effect of the Odell bill upon that road. The result was that the company would pay $0,147 under the Odell bill, while it ‘pays $5,920 under the present law. a The differerce, he said, was accounted for by the fact that the Columbia stock is now up to 70, owing to unustal circumstances. If normal conditions ard restored and the stock goes down, the taxation under the Odell bill would fall. Substantially, there would be no great difference between the two results. : Present Method of Taxation. Assessor Trimble then testified to the method of railway taxation. He said the roads operating under the new law pay 4 per cent on their gross receipts. Those roads governed by the dld law were taxed on their capital stock. :Phe assessor had no meens of arriving at the, value of the stock, and so he had computed It on a basis which would be équivaient to 4 per cent of the capital stock. “Don’t you think,” Ssked" Mr. Curtis, “that the same plan of faxation should ap- ply to all roads?” 1 “Yes,” replied Mr. Trimble, “I think the tax should be at the rate of 4 per cent on the gross earnings of all roads.” At this point the discussion @rificd away to the subject of general taxation in the District. at Mr. King Expresses Surprise. Mr. King expressed surprise that the per- sonal property returned fer taxation.in the District had fallen:in recent years from $16,000,000. to. $11,000,000, "4 Mr. Trimble said“it was probably due to the fact that the tax office has to rely to a large extent on voluntary returns, as it does not have the machinery to obtain ac- curate assessments. Mr. King said he thought there ought to be $50,000,000 worth of assessable personal sessment and taxatiom a proper one?” asked Mr. Odell. “It might be simplified,” responded Mr. Trimble. “Is it not true that ‘kissing goes by fa- vor’ in this District with regard to taxa- tion?” “I am not aware that such is the case.” “Well, if more money: were raised by tho city,” said Mr. King, ‘‘would not the gov- ernment have to pay less?” “Oh, no: the government only pays one- half the expenses, and never makes up @ deficiency.” The Anacostia Rond. Mr. Griswold of the Anacostia roai gave the committee some facts in connection with the taxation of that read. It was decided to hold a meeting of the District committee next Tuesday at 10 o'clock to give a hearing on the proposed extensions of the Capital Traction and Met- trepolitan lines. ———_-o-—______ LODGED IN JAIL.
