Trading Stamp Tax

As there has been a great deaI
of comment regarding a probable
tax ON Trading Stamp concerns.
we publish copy of the ordinance
now in force in the City Of Peters
burg, as follows:
The specific license tax on
every person, firm or corporation,
whether acting for himself or as
agent for another, TO engage in
selling trading stamps or any
other device for the same purpose.
TO any number of persons, firms
or incorporated companies doing
business IN this city. shall be olc
thousand $1,000 dollars. payable
in advance: and in addition thereto
a tax of one and six tenths q .6O
per cent. on the gross receipts of
such person. firm or corporation.
payable at the end of each quarter
during the term of one year.
Any such person or agent en-
gaging in such business without
paving the license therefor shall
be lined five hundred $500 dollars:
and any such person or agent fail
inc to make any of the quarterly
payments herein required shall be
fined five hundred $500 dollars
for each failure so To do.
Any person or agent who shall
fail TO pay any fine imposed ON him
for thc violation of any provision
of this section shall be confined i'm
the Jail of the city not less than
one nor more than three calendar
months.
Staunton and other Virginia
towns have also passed ordinances
taxing Trading Stamp concerns.
In Washington City they are
prohibited.
What Is to prevent Bcrryvillc
from imposing a tax of, say. $3.50.
and l per cent on their gross re-
cciptS,
These companies take great
deal of money away from the
Town.
They should pay for it,.
The local merchants will not
have the tax to pay.
If such an ordinance Is intro
duced before the present Town
Council it will be passed and over
$1,000 added to the years revenue.
Can we 90 better than re-elect
the Town officers.
We think not.

ers of Potomac Wharf PROPERTY.

The Supreme Court of the District of Co.

tlces Anderson. Gould and Stafford on the
bench. this afternoon considered a motion
of counsel for certain of the original owners
of wharf property in the famous Potomac
fats case to limit the time of those claiming
interests in specified improvements thereon
to prove their claims.
In connection with the awards made to
the owners for improvements certain sums
were withheld from them amounting in the
aggregate to several thousands of dollars,
because of claims made by tenants and
lessees that certain of the buildings We're
placed upon the wharves by them. and that.
therefore, they were entitled to the awards
in such cases.
After hearing arguments the court direct
ed counsel to prepare an order in accord
ance with the motion and submit 1t.

hearing by Attorney G. Z. Cole and the
