Views On Taxability
Of Mortgage Certificates

The question as to whether mort
gage certificates are taxable was
argued before the State Tax Commits
sion.
Alexander Fairbanks, attorney for
the Mortgage Guarantee Company, and
Enos Stockbridge, counsel for the Sc
curities Company, of Baltimore, held
that mortgage certificates issued by
these firms are not taxable.
"The argument of these attorneys
Edward S. Britain, secretary of the
commission, explained, was that the
certificates issued by these companies
were assignments, legally, OF mort
cages and as such were exempt from
taxation.
ION the other hand, c. C. Wallace,
Assistant. City Solicitor, commended
that the certificates were in no sense
assignments of mortgages.
"The problem was taken under ad-
visement by the commission, as it will
require some time to go over the argu-
ments presented. The question in
wolves the taxation Of millions of dol
lars of mortgage securities"

.PATUXENT BRIDGE
MAY Be DISPLACED
Roads Commission Considers
Structure For Grain and
Defense Highways.

The State Roads Commission is con-
sidering a plan OF replacing the pres
emit bridge structure known as Priests
bridge between Anne Arundel and
Prince George counties over Patuxent
river with modern concrete bridge
which will serve both the Grain and
Defense highways.
Engineers of the commission are
making soundings in the Patuxent to
determine the possibility of building
the bridge. The tentative plans that
are being considered call for a reloca-
ton of the bridge crossing and aban-
donment Of the wooden structures
that now serve at this point. AS both
State roads will cover new routes it
is planned to have them cross each
other at point where one bridge will
serve both roads.
There are three different bridges
over the forks of the river now. If
the contemplated plans are carried
through there will be only two bridges
Of two spans each, with connecting
link between them running over low
land.

JOHN FISKE AND ABBY
BROOKES

rHE American historian and philoso-
4 pher, John Fiske,N was rather
bashful lover and when he met the
girl Of his heart his first proceeding
was to ask her permission to write to
her. This being decided on we
have the following letter addressed by
Fiske to Miss Abby Brookes:
Something almost compels me to
write this, though readily imagine
how assuming may appear In doing
SO. But can sincerely say that were'
the state of things now to exist. Of
which we read in the fairy fable, and
were some benefcent genii to ask me
what boon of all would have soonest,
granted me, should at once answer
this: that you might deign to bestow
upon me the favor, for which ! have
Just asked permission to wrlte).
Should you think best to refuse this
request. beg you to think no more
of It,"
Miss Brookes consented. and later
consented to a greater favor asked by
John Fiske. They lived happy ever
after, so happy that Fiske could send
a letter like the one below, after eleven
years Of married life:
eleven years ago was the day I
asked you to write to me up at Peter
sham. Oh, If only we were in Peter
sham now dearest spot on earth),
with our precious little flock! I am
eaten up with inconsistencies and think
II can ever see New England again
I shall be content never to travel at
all. l crave every word from home as
a drunkard Graves his liquor and the
kindest thing you can do for me viii be
to write little almost every day. even

I may see an envelope directed by you.
