been e%ndeavoring to enforce the Law
without success.
The mayor threatens to take away

NO TAX ON "FACIALS."
BARRIERS Need Not Take Out License
for Massaging.

BARRIERS will not be taxed SO year for
n,asselrs' licenses, as was feared by them
when Judge Pugh recently ruled that all
BARRIERS in the District were liable to tax
under the act regulating massage parlors
The District Commissioners today decided
that no move toward collecting this
money be made In motion by Commits
sioner Rudolph he said:
The corporation counsel states that in
his opinion the law licensing masseurs
was not intended to and does not apply
to BARRIERS | concur in this and move
that no further action looking TO the col
lection of an additional tax from BARRIERS
be taken
The other Commissioners approved this.
The subject was taken up by the Com
missioners after Judge Pugh decided that
a woman operating beauty parlor was
liable to arrest if she gave facial mas
sage and had not taken out a license as
prescribed by law for masseurs. Judge
Pugh said then the BARRIERS of the city
were required to obtain licenses also II
they gave facial massage. This matter
was brought to the attention of the as
s.ssor of the District in whose charge the
license bureau is placed and from him to
the Commissioners.
