SURVEY IS ORDERED
FOR FISH HATCHERY
Request From State Official
Taken to Mean Establish
ment of County Industry.
clal Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, June PA re-
quest from Swepson Earle, State con-
servatiop commissioner, that he at once
have the necessary surveys made, is
interpreted by w. Frank Ricketts,, presi-
dent of the Montgomery County Fish
and Game Protective Association, so he
stated today, as forecasting the early
establishment of large fish hatchery
on the game preserve OF the flsh and
game organization at Middlebrooke,
this county.
The movement for the location of
hatchery there was inaugurated several
months ago by the fish and game as
sociation, and since then representatives
of both the National and State Fish
cries Bureaus have, at the suggestion
of Mr. Ricketts,. visited the preserve and
declared it ideal for such purpose.
MIR. Ricketts, said today that, in COM
pliance with the request of Commits
sioner Earle, he had engaged former
County Surveyor Charles j. Maddox to
make the survey and that he expected
the work to be completed and plat
submitted to the conservation commits
sioner within the next 10 days or two
weeks.
The game preserve comprises ap-
proximately rs acres, owned by the FISH
and Game Association, and several hum
dred leased acres surrounding. An at
tractive clubhouse adorns the 75-acre
tract and is said to be growing in
favor as place for dinner parties and
other social functions. The grounds
nearby are popular for picnic purposes.
The hatchery will, 1t is understood,
be exclusively for propagation Of small
mouth black bass and its output will, 1t
is stated. be used largely, il not entirely
to restock from time to time the upper
Potomac River where the supply of this
fine game fish has been gradually
dwindling for some years.
The cost Of establishing and main
tanning the hatchery will, according to
Mr.. Ricketts,, probably be borne jointly
by the State and National Fisheries
Bureaus.
The presence Of hatchery on the
game preserve is expected to prove
decided attraction.

DELINQUENT TAX
!. LAW IS HELD VOID
Decision on Collections in Ar
Iington County Brings
CONSERVATION.
BY LESTER N. INsKEEP,
star corresnondent ~ The Star.


ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, Va, June 27.-Believing that
the action of Judge Howard w. Smith
in sustaining a demurrer to chancery
suit brought by the Board of Super
yisors against Frederick w. Ingram and
others for the collection of delinquent
taxes is calamity to the county, Com
monwealth's Attorney William C. Cloth
today left for Richmond to seek the
aid of State tax authorities IN prevent
ing the final entry of the order,
Judge Smiths decision not only volds
between 400 and 500 suits brought by
the county for the collection OF taxes
this year, but makes most uncertain
the status of all property purchased
under tax sales during the past 70
years, Cloth says.
Request for Delay Granted.
The court, after rendering the de-
cision. granted the request OF the COM
monwealth's attorney for asdelay IN
entering the order, announcing that
he is willing to give the county an
opportunity to acquire any addltlonal
facts that might be used to support
the constitutionalty OF the act unoer
Judge Smiths decision was made as
a result of clause In the Virginia
constitution, which prohibits the enact
ment by the General Assembly OF any
local, special or private law 1or the
collection of taxes.
The law under which the suit was
brought was passed in 1900 ana Is
applicable only to Arlington County, OF
Alexandria County, as 1t was tnen. Inc
and carries q provision that repeals any
previous law which is repugiant to the
constitution.
According to the demurrer, which
was filed by Attorney H. s. Rucker, the
act of 1900 is repugnant to the con-
stitution in that 1t grants Arlington
County a special privilege in the col
lection of real estate taxes by a Spe-
cial or local law and that 1T, therefore,
becomes unconstitutional.
Hundreds of Sales.
There have been hundreds of tax sales
under this law during the past 20 years,
Cloth said, and the owners OF these Varl-
ous pieces of property may now ma thaC
they do not have clear title to them.
If such is the case there will probably
be many suits brought for the recovery
of property sold in this manner.
Fucker also set forth in his demurrer
that the treasurer of the county had
failed to exhaust all legal methods at
his command for the collection OF taxes.
These methods include levy, the col
lection of rent and garnishee process.
The decision came as bombshell to
the many attorneys who habituaIly
practise in the Arlington County Court,
since many of them have passed upon
the titles of property sold under the
contested tax collection law.

Costs Defendant 50 to Find Out Court
Was Not Joking in Sentencing Him to Jail

Following his release on bond,
Kaiser went to Cuba for several
months. Upon his return he was
again taken into custody by police.

pleas of guilty to charges of driving

tomobile without the authority of

When the sentence was pro-

contempt of court and imposed an
