counties of the State where the average

consumption of tirewood per family was

this, or haul coal from distant K. r.

cut his wood at most convenient times
when other farm work is not pressing SO
that the fuel he uses is practically that

murrer filed on behalf Of the State To.

to the bill of complaint Of James NJ.
Christmas, a taxpayer and tobacco grower
of Prince Georges county, asking for an
injunction to restrain the commission
from tearing down State Tobacco Ware
houses Nos. 8 and and building a new
warehouse and expanding $267 600 to
pay for it.
The decision was preliminary to a
final decision of the case in the Cour: of
to take it.
The case was argued yesterday by Mr..
Isaac Lobe Straus for the plaintiff and by
Attorney General William Shepard
Bryan for the Building Commission.
1t was contended for the taxpayers
that the act was invalid because it's pro-
visions were not described in its title and
also that even if valid it did not confer
on the commission authority to proceed
as they are about to do. Attorney Gen
eral Bryan. for the commission, contend
ed in support of his demurrer that the
act was con stitutional and valid.
Judge Wickes in sustaining the demur-
rer did not deliver a formal opinion, and
said that he rendered bis decision at once
so that the case could go promptly to the
Court of Appeals.
Mr.. Straus said that a prompt appeal
would be taken to the Court of Appeals
SO as to expedite the final decision.
