the District bill that passed the House Of Represent.
Atvc' last Tuesday. and at the same time willing to
give their views thereon, representative of THE

gathered the following information:
commissioner DcnniSOn stated that he had not
scch tho bill as II had passed the House but thought
that IN tile main 1t was good II ought tl be- for
sIlne time had bcon spent in considering II. The
Chei ichthrc-thnt of div sion Of the tax between
The Government and DistTCt-had been retained
lie did not think the property qualification or five
yenrN re,idenco necessary, for II men claimed this
as their home that was ample to cover the round
lie did not expect 10 he IN the city to see the Op.
eratioms Of tho bill when 1t become q law, as he
presumed he would resume his law practice in
Columbus. ohio by that time. While there might
DC objection To some Of the clauses he thought tt.
main purpose was accomplished IN the sal".tion OF
| the one requiring the GOycrnmCn. 10 assume its
proportion Of the tax levied.
