ing false affidavits as to their
residence in Alexandria, in order
to obtain a Virginia automobile
license, thus getting out of the
payment of a Maryland license.
Many Dodge Tax.
The warrants will be asked for
by City Manager w. NJ. Rich, Of
Alexander, Va. who has just COM
pleted q roundup of Alexandria
license dodgers" and whose records
show that between two and four
hundred licenses have been granted
to people purporting to live in
Alexandria, but who have no resi-
dence there.
To date more than 1900 automo-
bile licenses have been collected
from lax autoists in Virginia, since
June 1. netting s4.550 for the city.
There yet remains to be collected
400 back licenses for 1922, and Of
this number more than half are
believed to be Washington auto
mobile owners.
The warrants, when issued, will
be turned over to District police
officials with a request that they
be served. The warrant, in each
instance, will charge the evasion of
taxes by making false affidavit as
to place Of residence.
Promises Prosecution.
District motorists are being warn
Cd II they pursue the same prac-
tice of getting Virginia licenses in
1923, by making false affidavits,
that they will be prosecuted vigor-
ously.
"On checking up our records we
find that a great many District Of
Columbia motorists secured Vir-
ginia licenses, giving Alexandria as
their place of residence. The law
states that persons living in Alex
andria. must secure an Alexandria
city license, as well as a State H.
cense," Mr.. Rich said.
by getting a Virginia license,
District Of Columbia autoists do
not have to get a Maryland or
District license. thus getting out Of
paying those taxes, which are hign-
er than in Virginia, and at the
same time they did not comply with
the law by getting an Alexandria
corporation automobile license.
"They cannot swear Alexandra
as their place Of abode, and get out
of paying Maryland and District
taxes and at the same time not pay
an Alexandria tax" is the ukase
Rich has issued to them.
