of 80 cents is the limit of taxation
that may be imposed on this class of
intangible personal property. lie
was reversed in the higher court. in
an opinion handed down by Judge
Stafford G. Whittle. who was then
president of the tribunal.
The bank is asking for a refund
from the city of S1i,5e9.2S the
amount collected in taxes in excess
of that which would have been paid
over If the rate of 80 cents had been
accepted. This is ties; case. and
upon It's outcome will depend largely
the decision of those OF the First
National, the Planters National. the
American National and the National
State and City Banks. which are now
pending I'm the Hastings Court.
Mr.. Wall returned to Richmond

yesterday:
ut is true that told an applicant

cation until after April q. l told him
my reasons for doing SO. which are
as follows:
FIRST, l do not care to be placed
in the position of buying vote with
any favor at my disposal. If l were
to silence any supporter OF the pres

a position, l could be criticized and
justly SO.
MY second reason Is that / am
charged with giving the citizens Of

mcnts under my control. 1t is OBJ
vious that this end cannot be accom-
plishcd if the Fire or Police Depart
