SPECIAL LICENSE AGENT RAFF to-day
procured warrants against the Metropolitan
and Washington Georgetown Street Railway

by the license laws, but among the various
and singular privileges allowed railroad and
gas companies, II appears that the failure to
pay this tax has been quietly permitted. II
has recently been suggested that the law be
enforced; hence this action upon the part of
the license officials 1t is understood that the
action of the authorities Will be violently op-
posed by the railroads, but II is to be hoped
that the law will be enforced by the courts.
