The District Commissioners have flled with the Senate District com- mittee a report favoring passage of the Jones blll to amend the law so as to make taxes on real property in the District payable semi-annually, instead of annually, at present. The Commissioners Tecommended, however, several amendments to the bill. They recommended that the bill carry a provision placing existing $5,000,000 surplus of District rev- enues, now in the Treasury, to the credit of the District of .Columbla. As the Jones bill is designed to ald the District in getting on a cash-pay- ing basis, the Commissioners point out that the inclusion of the pro- posal to allow the District the use of the present surplus is highly de- sirable. They say in their Teport: Reasons for Proposal. “If Congress would allow the Dis- trict the right to use its surplus rev nues now deposited in the Treas of the United States” and requive the payment of real estate taxes only in two installments, payable Novem- ber and May of each vear, the Com- missioners believe the District of Columbia would have ample funds to operate on a strictly cash basis and, considering the total of present an- nual appropriations, there would be no need of an increase in taxes.” The Senate has already put through a concurrent resolution, Introduced by Senator Jones of Washington, providing for a joint congressional investigation to determine what shall be done about the existing surplus of Distvict revenues. The Commission- ers recommend that whatever sum ls found to be due the Distrlct by this investigation be placed to the credit of the District and suggest an ‘E,}',‘f“"'“‘"' to this effect to the Jones Rebate Plan Opposed. The Commissioners say they opposed to an amendment to Jones bill adopted by the District committee which would provide a re- bate of 3 per cent for the payment of the entire amount of taxes due for the year at the date th& first Install- ment falls due. The say that this would increase unnecessarily the cash balance of the District in the Treasury and would result in an in- crease in the tax rate to take care of the loss of revenue due to the rebate. The Commissioners are in favor of the semi-annual payment of taxes on real estate and real personal prop- erty. but are opposed to a seml-an- 1 collection of taxes on intangible Personal property. Faver Change in Dates. The Commissioners propose that the semi-annual payments of taxes shall fail due November 1 and May 1, instead of October 1 and April 1, as an amendment adopted by the Senate committee provides. They say that & greater amount of time, under their plan, would be given for the office work in connection with assessments and bills. FINED IN LIQUOR CASE. Mrs. Alice W.
