before the court by Deputy Harry L.

was the property of his emplover' the
Crane Service Co. of Washington.
A precedent for the dismissal was
established last year during a drive
against Virginia residents driving on
District of Columbia tags. At that
time Judge Thomas took an opposite
view of the situation, having dealt out
fines in several cases. Most of the
cases, however, were appealed to the
Circuit Court and Judge Howard w.

The ruling of the two courts, it is
pointed out, makes it permissible for
Virginia residents to drive a car with

shown that the car is used in the
business.
