Corporation Counsel Duvali has given

whether the tax was 10 be construed as
one on property. or was a franchise tax
The appraisers took the latter view,
which was upheld by Mr.. Duvall, as OPP
posed TO the contention of counsel for
the bank who held that the bonds con-
stituted contract between the Govern
ment and the bank. which would be
abrogated II the Government could levy
tax upon interest collected from such
bonds IN contravention of the language
Of the statute They contended further
more that the act of 1902 did not con-
template the raising of franchise tax.
Mr. Duvall. in his opinion, says:
In the present case there is no tax
imposed upon any property OF the cor
poration, but on the earnings of the
corporation. and the tax is not laid
upon the earnings for the year in which
the tax was collected. but IL IS laid upon
an estimated amount which Is the actual
amount of earnings for the preceding
year -" I am of the opinion that
the tax provided for in the act is not TO
be construed as a property tax, but as a
franchise tax. and. as such. is a legal

Why the undertakers Of the city have
so much trouble in obtaining from the

les Of those who died there is a question
occupying the minds of two Commits
sioners of the District. the visiting ply
stefan Of the hospital, and the Health

trips 10 the hospital and two TO the

than TO delay. burial In such cases.
Commissioner West referred the pro

The report came back with great speed,
saying the blame for such delays ought
