statement given out yesterday by
City Treasurer James 3. Pace 1.-The
time Is so short and December ! Is

Mr.. Pace. land l have decided to
keep the Office open Thanksgiving
Day. A large number OF persons who
would not otherwise be free may wish

sidered As capital. Under the city
classification as tangible property, the
tax would be ten cents to the State
and sl.66 to Richmond on the 500.
This would bring 1000 in taxes TO
the city on the amount Of tobacco in

A case similar to this was decided
IN favor of the State recently by the
supreme Court of Appeals. In this
the United Cigarette Machine Com

though the tobacco in the Export
Leaf Tobacco Company's case was not
manufactured, the two cases were con-
sidercd analogous.
