Foreign Corporations to Pay Treble
for Certificates of Authority.
Foreign corporations which desire
TO do business in Virginia and which
are not as yet qualified. had best get
busy before June Is, for after that
date the fees for certificates of author
ity will be greatly increased. In fact
the cost is trcbled for concerns with
capital stock of less than s1.000,00o
heretofore foreign corporations had
an advantage over Virginia companies,
being compelled to pay only an annual
registration fee after the original att
thority had been secured. Home COM
panies, ON the contrary, must pay all
annual franchise tax. Under the new
act of the General Assembly, the mat
ter is more nearly equalizcd by
charging a higher fee when the cor
poration comes In.
Tho old law fixes fees for certiti-
Gates of authority on foreign corpora

The new statute amends Section IS
of the tax law By adding g. new sub

BIG GAIN

Years Ago.

Decided growth In tho attendance on

the quinquennial school census, which
has just been completed and aled IN
the Office OF the superintendent of pub.
lie schools. Since the census of 1905
the total attendance for tho three dis
tricts Of the city has increased from
a3.95s pupils to 25.oSS. a net gain of
1000 at the end OF f,ve years. Count
ing to the attendance in Washington
Ward, the total now reaches 2a,0ss.
These figures. of course. apply only to
persons of school age. that is. between
the ages Of z and 20.
No exact comparison OF tho district
census of 1905 with that OF the pros
ent year can be had. because the ter
ritory annexed from Henrico county in
1905 was not included In the census
of that year. though 1t has been done
this year. With such explanation in
mind. an Interesting comparison is af-
forded By the following figures:
