AUTOIST VIEW ON BALL BiLL A. A. A. Sends Letter and Ballot to All Drivers for Their Decision. _ Members of the American Automo- bile Association and Washington mo- torists generally, whether members or not, will be polled on thelr atti- tude toward the gas tax.plan sub- stitute, which has been prepared by Senator L. Heisler Ball, chairman of the Senate District committee. The American Automobile Assocla- tion has prepared a letter to its more than 3,000 members and has inclosed a ballot for voting purposes. Read- ers of The Star are urged to clip the ballots, fill them in and mail to the assoclation headquarters, at 1108 16th street. The original reciprocity bill foster- ed by the Governor of Maryland and the District Commissioners called for ! the levy of 4 two-cent per gallon tax ;on gasoline in the District in lieu i of the personal property tax on auto- mobiles and the horsepower tag tax. The two-cent tax on gasoline alone has been figured to bring in ap- proximately the same revenue as the two other taxes combined. The Ball Pyoposal. Senator Ball's proposal is that a personal property tax on automobiles tax of about $500.000 per year on the District motorists, In ad- dition to that his plan calls for the creation of a special fund from the proceeds of the gas tax for the main- tenance of District roads. This fund olely by the District sted by the cus- per cent contribution of will be raised and will not b tomary 40 Congress. The letter and ballot follow: “Senator L. Heisler Ball proposes as a substitute for the Maryland- | District of Columbia regiprocity bill which recently passed the House two important points: “First—A flat reglstration fee of $1.00 plus a tax of 2 cents per gallon gasoline, plus a personal property of $1.20 per hundred. ccond—That the receipts from £1,000,000 a vear, be appropriated for improvement of streets and highways without any appropriation from the federal government to meet this amount. ~Hitherto there has been a 60-40 per cent ratio of payment. Equivalent to Old Price. “Senator Ball's plan will produce about $1.590.000 a year. This will in- crease” our present total motor ve- hicle tax by about 50 per cent, and will be about equivalent to the pres- ent District of Columbia tax plus the st of Maryland tags for District of lumbla cars. pposition has developed to Sen- ator Ball's campromise, chiefly on the ground that It destroys the fixed ratio of contribution by the federal gcvernment and the District of Co- lumbia_as 1aid_down in the organic act of 1922, and ihat it may set up & principle which may have the effect of placing more and more of the Surden of Capital improvements on distriet of Columbia taxpayers. “Gov.
