English Summer.
-om the London Chronicle

FROM tho London Chronicle
Is the Frenchmans definition OF our
English summer-"three fine DAYS and a
thunderstorm!-so far from the actual
facts. after, all? Midsummer day has
now to be referred To in the past tense.
Yet it takes man of robust constitution
and pronounced tendency toward opti-
msm to venture out in the straw hat
and zephyr clothing commonly associated
with this time of the year. However, the
holiday maker may, perhaps. find some
little consolation in the fact that a CEN
tury ago his ancestors were reviling the
clerk of the weather with even greater
justification. for late In June, 1909, snow
was lying three feet deep in some of the
northern districts of Yorkshire Mean
while heat wave is taking it's usual toll
of victims in America, and we may get
some summer weather vet.

NICE QUESTION FOR COURTS
RESIDENT OF MARYLAND OBJ
JECTS TO PERSONAL TAX.
Assessed for mobile-Corpora-

Action of Board Should Stand.

Can the District levy personal tax

neighboring states who have permanent
business headquarters in the District and
who use such property with their business
or in going between their homes and Of
hces, the property being as often in the
District as in the state?'
That is the question which was recently
referred to Corporation Counsel Thomas
The Districts legal adviser declared that
although there may be some doubt about
the general principle, he thinks such prop

I'm the meantime l have been assessed
for the automobile in Maryland. and
beg to enter a protest against the assess
ment in the District, as l certainly should
not be called upon to pay tax on the
automobile in two jurisdictions"
Outlining the reasons of the board of
personal tax appraisers for making the
assessment against Mr. Middleton, Fran
els Nye of the board says:
The information furnished by +. l..
Middleton, on which the board of appeals
decided to retain the assessment on the
automobile referred TO, was that he re-
sided in the District about nine months
of the year (fiscaD 19OS-9, and that the
automobile was kept here during that
