END OF AUTO TAX
WAR IS IN SIGHT
Commissioners Will Rescind
Order Exacting Big Fees
From State Motorists.
VIRGINIA HAS SUFFERED
District Heads Convinced That
1t Has Worked Great
Hardship.
VIRGINIA HAS SUFFERED

Washington. July 15.-End of the
long automobile war waged between
the District of Columbia and Mary
land and lately taken UP by the State
OF virginia, is in sight, as the result
of a decision reached to-day by the
Commissioners to rescind the order
adopted by them last January com
pellirg motorists from other States who
use District roads to pay the same
amounts for licenses that are assessed
against Washington Automobiles who
enter those Commonwealths.
Formal action revokinE the order
may be taken by the Commissioners to-
morrow. While the object of the regu-
lation was to establish reciprocity in
license fees. the District heads are
convinced that 1t has worked a hard
ship upon Maryland and Virginia
citizens. and. therefore, believe that IL
should be annulled.
This view, it is understood, was
reached after conferences with a num-
Der OF local automobile owners II is
believed that the return to the former
license arrangement, under which n
perpetual District license may be OBJ
tained upon the payment of So will re
suit in establishing harmony between
the District OF Columbia, MARYLAND
and Virginia in the matter of regulat-
ing motor vehicle traffic and put an
end TO any discriminatory practices
which may be exercised by the authori-
Ties or those States against Washing
ton motorists.
Regulation Melted S2,490.aS.
Since the regulation became effective.
February Is, the District government
has collected in license fees from non
resident motorists S2,49O.5s Opposed
to the old rate of 50 for a perpetual
license. fees ranging from SIS 10 s25,
according to the horse power of the
car, have been assessed against Mary
land motorists.
Fees ranging from SIS to SEQ have
been required of Virginia AUTOMOBILE
lists, since these rates are in effect in
that State and are assessed against
Washingtonians.
AT the time of the adoption OF the
regulation 1t was estimated that the
increased tax would add $4,000 more
year 10 the revenues of the local
government
The commissioners. ii was learned
to-day, are giving considerat ton TO the
question of returning to Maryland and
Virginia residents the fees which they
have paid under the license system,
which has been found to be unsatis-
factory and is to be abolished Com
missioner Rudolph, 1t is known. is in
vestiGating this feature of the case.
New Rule Mny he Temporary.
With the repeal OF the regulation,
nonresidents. as stated, may obtain a
perpetual automobile license upon tho
payment of So, the same as District
residents, but this arrangement may
prove to be only temporary.
The commissioners now have before
The times dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1903-1914, 1913-07-16

Congress bill providing for the nm
nual registration and licensing Of au
tomobiles. which Will affect resident
ana nonresident owners alike. Under
the terms OF the measure. the amount
or the annual license fee to be charged
may DO determined by the District
heads.
1t was stated to-day that the com
missioners intend to urge favorable
action by Congress on the bill
although Maryland Automobiles
were not specifcally aimed at In the
regulations which the Commissioners
have decided to abolish. It is no secret
that the order was adopted IN the
nope that II would have the effect Of
making officials OF that State more rea-
sonable In their treatment OF district
motorists
FREQUENT arrests for alleged trivial
ofenses OF Washingtcn!ans who motor
ed into Maryland led to widespread
indignition among local automobile
owners. The Maryland licenses have
to be renewed each year and. time
and again. it IS claimed. Washingtoni-
ans who ventured into that state with
in n few days after the first Of the
year without their new licenses. were
arrested and fined
Overtures Arc UuavniIInE.
Overtures have been made bv tho
commissioners to the executive heads
OF both States IN favor of the estab-
hshment OF reciprocal relations in the
matter OF the issuance OF automobile
licenses. but without avail.

communication TO the district heads,
stated that $4,000 automobiles from
the district annually enter the State.
whereas the number OF Virginians who
motor into Washington is comparative
~ small. He expressed tho opinion
that district automobile owners who
use Virginia roads should contribute
TO their upkeep.
The commissioners believed that
citizens of both States will appreciate

1t will be n contest between n boy
from Southern California and another
boy from Northern California. with u

This is one contest that has expert
sporting followers guessing No light
weight bout of recent years has had
such an even look TO 1t. Rivers's ad-
mirers are cocksure that the little fell
low from the south Is destined to de
prive Willie Richie of his title. Friends
or Ritchie are just AS sure that Willie 8
title liz as safe In q bout with Rivers
as though he had IL locked In a burglar
proof safe and no one else but himself
knew the combination.
So far as the contest is concerned,
to-morrow's encounter promises one OF
the liveliest glove sessions In this sec
ton of the country for some time. The
betting indicates how closely the pub
lie holds the lads. To- might the odds
were 10 TO S, with Richie on the honor
end, and there was no indication that
the figures would change.
1t will be the first time that Willie
Eitchie has defended his title since he
won 1t from adj Wolgast. and many
fans who hold to the theory that "un-
easy rests the head that wears a
crown" believe that this Will he a

very proud young man, and he prob
ably realizes that 10 lose his title to-
morrow would be dire calamity and
for this reason nc will fight to the last
ounce OF his energy from tho time the
bell taps sending them away until the
bout is concluded.
The handlers Of the champion are
confident that their boy will retain
the title. and Richie seems the most
confident man In tho camp.
Willie says that he never felt halt
SO good for any contest before. and he
declares that the only anxiety he har-
bors is an impulse TO hear the start
ing gong. so that he can start the
process OF clearing Rivers out OF his
way. Richie figures that his natural
advantage OF height and reach Will be
OF great aid to him in this bout. and
though some persons figure Rivers
more rugged than VIII. the champion
does not share such views

champions that ever defended title.
