In concurrence with the action last
week Of the Board of Aldermen, the
Common Council last night voted 70
ask the Administrative Board to
automobile dealers for the use of the
Grays' Armory for the coming auto
show to begin January 81 The Ad
ministrative Board last Tuesday re-
scinded their conditional permit to
the auto dealers for the use of the
First Regiment Hall. and at the in
sistence of the dealers. the Council
and Board of Aldermen ask the board
to reconsider. The matter will be
taken UP this morning, when a final
decision will likely be rendered.
When the auto show was first pro-
posed, it was found that the Grays'
Armory was the only available build
ing in the city that would answer the
purpose Permission was asked Of
the board for the use OF the armory,
and this permission was condition
ally granted, it not being thought at
the time that the troops would re-
turn from the border as early as
they did come. Upon their arrival
here. Major Bright, commander Of
the regiment, insisted that the use OF
the armory he not granted to the
automobile dealers, and following

STIFF FIGHT TO
SECURE REVERSAL
stnte Tax Board Reinforces City in
Effort 10 Got Highest Court to
Change It's Views.
SERIOUSLY AFFECTS LOCALITIES
Permitting Them TO Levy Any De-
sired Tax On Merchants Capital

Acting on the request of the state
Tax Board that it be given reasonable
time In which to file a petition supple
of Drewry Hughes 4 Company and o.
Fl. Berry g. Company against the city
OF Richmond, the Supreme Court of
Appeals yesterday ordered both Of
these cases carried over to the March
term of the court for consideration.
Executive Assistant o. L. shewmake,
of the State Tax Board. will imme-
diateiy prepare a petition for the tax
board, supporting the contention Of the
city in these cases.
The question of the right OF locali-
ties TO tax the capital of merchants
In excess Of 80 cents on the 500 is
the main Issue in both cases. The city
of Richmond, some time ago, imposed
a tax Of Gao on the 800, from which
an appeal was taken by the Drcwry-
Hughes Company. The question was
argued before Judge Richardson. OF
the Hastings Court. which decided in
favor Of the company. and then the
case was taken TO the Supreme Court
OF Appeals. with the same result The
city has now petitioned the supreme
Court for rehearing.
Following the decision OF the Su =
of tho Drewrv- Hughes Company. q. II.
Berry & Company, OF this city. claimed
a refund in taxes paid the city at the
$40 rate. which wse granted by the
Hastings Court The city appealed to
the Supreme Court, and instead OF con-
sidering the case al the present term,
this court agreed to carry II over TO
the March term.
IT is expected that the State will put
up Il stif hight in its effort TO have the
Supreme Court reverse its former rul-
ing in the Drewry- Hughes case. and
to have the court render a decision
Favorable TO the city in the case of
o. Fl. Berry g. Company. The ruling
Of the court will be OF far-reaching
Importance. and IL upfayorable to the
city Of Richmond will present serious
situation.
1t has been pointed out that prac-
tically all Of the localities in the State
construed the tax law OF ia,5 a CIV
ing them right TO impose whatever
tax they desired on merchant capital
and that they were not effected by the
So-cent rate. Consequently. in decid-
Ing on the rates, they were placed any
where from 80 cents TO So on the 500.
II the Supreme Court should rule
that no locality should impose tax
greater thau the 81 cents as carried
by the tax law ofIaf5. this will cause
claims for refund from every section
OF the State, and to satisfy them would
mean serious drain on the local
treasures Taxes at the larger rates
have already been paid in. and the
revenues thus received applied TO the
various expenses of the localities.
