sician who said Mr.. Mast had liver trou-
bic. The Saturday following another ply

disease to be yellow fever, in which opinion
he was corroborated by a third physician.
and both said his condition was very seri-

felt much better and would soon be all
right.

RECONSIDERATION APPROVED.
Commissioners Macfarland Comedies in
EXEMPTION OF Idnthict1m Institute,

Exemption Of 1dnthicum Institute.
Commissioner Macfariand has approved
the recommendation Of Commissioner West
that the houses and lots owned by the Lin
thicum Institute OF Georgetown be ex-
empted from taxation. Mr.. Macfarland and
Mr.. West conferred as to the matter be-
fore the recommendation OF the latter was
written. and agreed on the views therein
taken. Mr.. Macfarland stated today that,
while he is opposed to increasing the tax
exemptions In the District, he could not do
otherwise than agree to the exemption of
the Lnthicum Institute property, in view
OF the express provision made to that end
in the charter granted by the legislative as
sembly. This is the only corporation known
whose real and personal property was spe-
cificaHy- exempted by charter. The Com
missioners take the view brought forward
effect that to take away this chartered
privilege Of exemption would require spe-
cif1c act of Congress, that the. exemption
would not be wiped ont by q general act
on the subject OF tax exemptions.
Mr. MaefsTtand Asiisyes IN the exemption
shown to betased' for pubic purposes. The
amount of exemptet property In the Dis
trict Is already Et9cc large. he thinks. and
should be, red9ced. In the case OF the LIN
thicum Institute the institution is to an In
tents ana purP6ses a public one, for IT'S tut
ton Is free Ind school supplies are fur
nished to punsi2s. at Is also the only night
school In Georgetown. the District authori-
ties not having been enabled to establish

REGARDING SLOT MACHINES.
Relative to License Prom
ised Consideration.

Charles L. Frailey, attorney for the
Cabinet Cigar Company. will be informed
by the secretary to the Commissioners that
any statement or argument he desires to
make relative to the licensing OF slot ma
chimes in the District may be submitted to
the board, and will receive due considera-
tion. The Cabinet Cigar Company until
recently maintained numerous slot ma
chimes for vending cigars. The attorney
asked that decision Of the Commissioners
relative to the licensing OF these machines
be reconsidered.
Several weeks ago the assessor presented
this matter to the Commissioners and the
board, on the advice Of the corporation
counsel,-decided that for each machine Of
this kind there must be paid a license OF
S12the regular retail cigar license.
Mr.. Frailey wrote that his client owns
about 300 of the machines in question, and
that the annual tax on that basis would
amount to $500. a sum which. he says, is
entirely prohibitive. and II insisted upon
will drive him out Of business. He SUBJ
mits that the tax Is too great and ought to
be modified, and he thinks 1t would be 30
modified II the matter was properly pre-
scented to the authorities.
