Of either yacht. The margin OF victory

THE RECENT decision of the Court of
Appeals In the case OF Thomas against
Commissioner of Revenue Snead, OF
Lynchburg, will affect Alexandria very
materially, as II does Lynchburg and
other cities. 1t will render any special
ordinances exemptiDg from taxation
manufacturing establishments an impos-
sibility, and will nullify those already
enacted. Under the decision all taxes
must be equal and uniform, and there
can be no exemptions from taxation
upon capital employed in manufacturing
establishments. The Court OF Appeals
several years ago decided In the Wes
Point case that exemptions from taxa
tion could not legally be made by thu
city or county authorities in the com
monwealth, so with these two decisions
the matter of tax exemptions lie pretty
well settled 10 Virginia.
