PERSONAL TAXES PRIOR
TO 1892 HELD INVALID
Corporation Counsel Decides They Should Be Stricken
From the Records and Books Cleared.

, standing on their books. respectively
assessed under the aforesaid act of Con.
gress prior to and including the fisca
year ending June 30, 1892
Assessments Were Invalid.
I'm Heald and others, committee
versus the District, at law. the Supreme
Court Of the District quashed an assess
ment of a personal tax. holding that the
act of Congress approved March 8. 1877,
providing for the assessment of per-
sonal taxes had been rendered flcapa-
Bile Of enforcement by reason of the
abolition of the office of the three as
SCISSORS, who under the law were to make
the assessment of personal property;
and that the present Assessor was not
their successor with authority to per-
form their duties and to make the as
sessment. The attention of Congress be-
ing called to the situation it saw fit
July /, 1902, to enact a new law for the
taxation of personal property materially
different in structure and machinery
from the provisions of the act of March
3, 1871.
The assessments for personal taxes
referred to by the Collector says
Counsel Duvall, in conclusion. ARE con-
fessedly invalid, having been made by
an officer who was not authorized by
law to make such assessments, and am
of the opinion that they should no longer
be carried upon the books of the As
SCISSOR or Collector"
