A special dispatch from Richmond
yesterday quoted Speaker Byrd as
stating that the law in question, OF
which he was patron, d es not ex-
empt the public service corporations
from municipal license taxes. This
settles any doubt as to the intent OF
the bin as its patron understands 1t,
so the only question is as to whether
the law is what it was intended to be.
Certainly the cities of the common
wealth would have a serious griev-
ance against the assembly If bill
exempiing the public service corpo-
rations from municipal license taxes
had been passed, and we are conf
dent that no member of the assembly
intended to d. such thing. The
lawyers only are qualified to pass up
