struction of the States tax laws, and thus
affects every community In Virginia
Charged, as ii is with general supervision
OF the tax system, the State Tax Board is
vitality interested in the Interpretation OF the
law, and, therefore, recognizes its duty to take
part in the cases now pending. With the per-
mission OF the court, ii will appear as
friend Of the court, to assist il in reaching a
decision. However, in view of the far reaching
importance OF the question involved, it will
