owners MUST PAY
Commissioners Decline to Abate
License Tax for Inaugural
to AutomobiIists.

In view Of the crying Injustice
visited on District automobilists by
the Maryland automobile laws. the
Commissioners, on motion of Commits
sioner Johnston today. declined to ex-
empt. during the Inauguration period,
owners Of Maryland cars from the
payment Of the new license fee. All
owners Of Maryland cars who at pres

compelled to pay the fee established
by the police regulation recently
adopted by the Commissioners, which
ranges from IS to SIS, according to

Maryland, who are coming to Wash

and. in my judgment. no exceptional
order should be passed to render it in

which. better than any or all other oc-
casions to follow, ma. the more GER

land electorates' attention to the crying
injustice to our people Of the Maryland
automobile law"
This ruling will not apply to owners
Of Maryland cars who now hold Dis
trict licenses. the Commissioners hav-
