District Bill Up for Discussion in House On Taxation
The District appropriation bill was taken up in the House yesterday and will remain unfinished business. Mr Gillett outlined the main provisions and discussed half funding by the government, while William Alden Smith defended the practice. Smith argued private property in the District is held under government needs, and questioned the fairness of continuing the arrangement as the city grows. Smith urged the necessity of increased revenues to fund future improvements and criticized street maintenance as inadequate. The discussion touched on tax assessment methods and the influence of wealthy residents seeking District residence to avoid taxes. The debate paused after resolutions on California sufferage were reported and the House adjourned.
