BANKS win
THE COURT or APPEALS IDEGIDED THAT
BAAkINs INSTITUTIONS DO NOT HAVE
TO PAY THE TAX ON INCOME FROM
MORTGAGES AND JUDGMENTS. /:

-- WI
I'm an opinion written by Judge
Pattison. the Court OF Appeals or
Maryland handed down on March 9Th.
1919, decision affirming the Judgment
of the Circuit Court for Carroll Coun-
ty in the suit of the County Commits
sioners of Carroll County against The
Westminster HI, Savings Bank. This
case arose in an attempt made by the
County COMMISSIONER To collect from
the banks and trust companies Of Car
roll County the mortgage and judg-
ment income tax of eight per centum
on the interest payable on Judgments
and mortgages. The position of the
c. Commissioners was that the banks
and other banking institutions should
lDay as individuals now must. The
lower court held. that the banks and
trust companies were not compelled
to pay this tax because il was not the
intention of the Legislature to make
them, as the property Of the banks and
trust companies, represented by judg-
ments and mortgages, was already
subject to a tax paid by them on
every kind of their property; and the
Legislature did not intend to impose
an additional tax on the same form or
property. This view of the lower
court has been affirmed by the Court
of, Appeals in accordance with the
| construction lplaced for many years
on the law by the State and County
| officials charged with the collection
of taxes.

Second Rehearsal Of Choral Society
for Community Concert Next Mon
day Evening.

A splendid start was made last
Monday, evening when fifty enthusias-
tic singers met at the High School for
the first rehearsal of the Choral
Society for the Community Concert to
be given i'm the Armory.
But to make the concert the sue
cess it must be, at least one hundred
voices are needed.
The talent is in Westminster and
the surrounding community to fur
nish not only one hundred, but double
that number if all who can sing will
respond and assist in this commend
able effort on the part of the Choral
Society to establish musical or
ganization here that will arouse and
create a new interest in music that
improves. elevates and entertains.
There are scores of young boys
and girls in Westminster who should
take advantage of this opportunity to
cultivate and improve their vocal
talents and these are specially in
vited to be present at the rehearsal
next Monday evening.
Also the members of the various
choirs and all who sing are urged to
attend.
The tentative program for the, con-
cert is given below and on behalf of
the officers OF the society, Prof. Peltz
and the faithful members, it is earn
estly hoped the appeal for support
will not be in vain.
Come to the rehearsal next Monday
evening. You will enjoy it and your
presence will aid and encourage the
Choral Society in it's work and pre-
paration for the concert.
The lDrogram will be: "All We Like
Sheep Have Gone Astray," from
