New Tax Dodging ~.
Scheme
English Gipsies Find a Way To
Escape Paying Local Taxes

Guildford. Eng, Sept. ia novel
way OF avoiding the payment of local
taxation has been discovered by sew
eral large families OF gipsies in an en-
campment here. They own the land
and thus are liable to house duty.
There Is a reg gulation, however, that
IL the wheels Of a permanent cara =
van home are turned completely round
once every year the owner is absolved
from duty. Consequently when the
tax collector calls at the camp there
Is a general wheel turning. Every
caravan simultaneously moves for
ward about two yards-and the gipsies
can live duty free, for another year.
