tags. Judge Samuel Riggs OF Police
Court announced this morning in ex-

sue raised by arrests OF Maryland
residents using District tags.

jections had been raised
Judge Riggs explained, however,
that this exemption could only apply
to cars which the owner used between

not to those vehicles which might be
kept in Maryland all the time.
Summer Residents Not Affected.
The Judge added. further. that the
exemption would not be allowed If the
District home was closed. but in this
connection it was understood that
where the car owner was retaining
home in the District while passing
the Summer in Maryland he would
be within the law in using only Dis
trict tags.
