TAXPAYERS FIGHT REALTY TAX RAISE Congress Urged to Restore Rider Holding Property at $1.50. Voicing opposition to any increase | ; in the real estate tax rate in the Dis- trict of Columbia, the Washington Taxpayers' Association yesterday is- sued a statement urging Congress to restore in the District appropriation bill the legislative rider holding the real property rate to $1.50. The rider was eliminated by the House on a point of order. The asso- ciation declared the ridsr is ‘he “only sure way to prevent a drastic in- crease in real estate taxes on July 1.” Lack of Time Cited. With only 56 legislus've days re- maining, the associaticn said. it is ‘“‘doubtful if any of the tax bills pro- posed to make up the deficit in next year's District revenues—something over $6,000.000—wiil be enacted before July 1.” Unless they are, it stated, the Commissioners must raise the rate to “at least $2” to meet the estimated deficit. A $2 rate would mean, the arso- ciation declared: 1. An increase of $2 or $3 a menth on “modest” homes and of $50 or more on a $10,000 property. 2. A material reduction of owrer's profit on residential rented property, where real estate taxes constitute 10 to 15 per cent of the rent. 3. “Even greater harm” to owners of business properties, “‘where taxes often equal 20 per cent of the total rents received.” A one-third boost in realty taxes, the statement said, would be “disas- trous” for 50,000 home owners and buyers, to many of whom a sudden rise in the tax rates would disrupt the family budget. omme Club to Honor Pennsylvanians.

BRIGHTWOOD ZONING CHANGE PROTESTED Citizens’ Group Opposes “Three- in-One” Homes in Semi- Restricted Areas. Opposition to any change in the roning regulations permitting the erection of “community” houses was voted at a meeting of the Bright- wood Citizens’ Association 1ast night in the Paul Junior High School. The matter was brought to the attention of the association by Sec- retary Samuel A. Swiggett, who point- ed out the undesirability of so-called “three-in-one” homes being erected in semi-restricted areas. President Charles W. Ray expressed regret that work had been discon- tinued in the improvement of Fort Stevens and at his suggestion the Mail and Phone Otders . .
