Taxation Of BGIIdinE Associations.

BALTIMORE, April 2l.-An unusually
large number OF persons were at the APP
peal Tax Court on Saturday making In
quiries in regard to the taxation Of the
shares Of building associations, the opin-
ion seeming to prevail among them that
unredeemed shares are not taxable. The
Judges referred all inquiries for informa-
ton to the opinion Of the Court OF Ap-
peals, given at the October term, on this
subject, and which declares that building
association stock in general was taxable.
Attorney General Gwinn later, in reply to
committee OF building association presi-
dents, which waited upon him on this
subject, stated that no distinction was
made in the opinion between permanent
and mutual associations, and that all
shares redeemed or unredeemed, are liza
BILE to valuation and assessment alike.
Upon this opinion the judges Of the Ap-
peal Tax Court intend to proceed, and the
rush OF the building association people 70
the court on Saturday was caused BY the
measures recently taken by the judges 70
insure a prompt return OF the value oil all
the shares Of such associations.

The RgAr is correct in saying that prior
tothelast city election there was "a kind
Of tscit agreement" that a reduction in
salaries and, as far as possible, Of general
expenses, was to be the order of the day.
The outlays OF the city were ventilated
in the papers and retrenChment was the
popular idea. 1t was shown that the in
dustries oithe city were greatly depressed
and lily able to bear the burden OF taxa
ton, and that in all departments Of trade
very radical reductions in salaries and
wages and all manner OF expenses had
hken place
In view OF these facts, there was at least
avery general hope, if not "a tacit agree
nent, tha. the new Council would look
sharply after expenditures, and apply the
pruning knife vigorously to such salaries,
lees or other outlays as were not in keep
ing with the reductions that had fallen
upon the unofficial public. Hence, we
doubt not, everybody was more or less as
tonishci to see Council at its last meeting
not only evincing no disposition to cut
down expenses but, quite the contrary, to
increase them. They not only declined
tonake any change in salaries, bnt seri-
OCsy discussed a proposition to add sew.

After reading the report, Mr.. Ruby read
a resolution adopting the report, and

facts contained in the report that made
the Convention so restive under op-

that the reason for turbulence in the
Convention was due 10 the presence Of
politicians, who inteffered with the bro.

would be appreciated. The colored men
