to meet increase of three and one
half per cent. levied by the City Coun-
Gil as license tax. The court stated
that he thought the increase in rates
was retaliatory and showed the power
of the association to penaliZe any city
in the State whenever they thought
the tax too heavy. Justice Brown
pointed out that there is urgent need
for insurance legislation in Virginia,
as there is no law on the statute books
to reach the case. However, there is
ample authority under the common
law for prosecution. The appeals will
be tried at the September term of
the Corporation Court.
