With 21 corps competing for prizes after a colorful and interesting parade through the principal streets of the city, the Y. M. T. A. &5 B. Fife and Drum corps of New Britain won first prize in modern playing while the Troop 4. Boy Scouts of America, Trumpet band, captured first place in the junior bugle and drum competition and St. Joseph's Drum and Bugle corps finished second in the same class. These were the only three To- cal organizations entered in the competition, giving this city a per- feet day.
 The Tabs" working hard to put a successful conclusion on rather unfortunate season, were on their nettle and completely outplayed the other senior modern corps, their tone and snap on the stand giving them a distinct margin over the field. They earned appreciation along the line of march and receiv- ed flattering applause after com pleting their work on the stand
 Troop As snappy marching and excellent playing and rhythm put it so far ahead of any other junior corps that the judges had little hes itancy in awarding it first prize in the juvenile classification. Capping well played selection with a unique and difficult but perfectly executed maneuver off the stand, the scouts marched out amid a tremend- ous ovation which was exceeded only by that accorded the Rockville American Legion corps, home town favorite.
 The St. Joseph's corps was not at full strength, but the boys worked hard to overcome this handicap an1 finished second only to the local Boy Scouts. Their trim carriage and tlashy uniforms won them favor with the crowd throughout the aft ernoon.

14,O)O IN VIRGINIA
ARE TAX EXEMPT
New State Law Reducing
Levy on Incomes Explained
by Commissioner.
Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RICHMOND, Va, April &c. H
MorrisSett. State tax commissioner, fig
ures that $4,000 persons will be made
completely exempt from State income
tax payments by the tax-reduction bill
of 1880 and that the reduction, total
ing about 100000, will amount to about
Is per cent of the 1881 total taxes.
The new tax bill raised the exemp-
ton to single persons from 81 900 to
$3.50 and to married persons from
$4,000 to $780, but not less than 81
per cent of the total number of people
liable for income tax payments Will be
affected, since their incomes fall within
the range of the slightly increased ex-
emptions, Mr.. MorrisSett said.
In 1928 the total number of persons
paying ST 1888 ,069.18 in individual State
income taxes was As 1902.
During sessions of the 1880 Assembly
it was figured that the reductions eff
fective in the tax year 1881 would affect
10000 people, but Mr.. Morrissett now
figures that not less than $4,000 will
come within the new exemption range.
The States total population was es-
timated at 2,550,000, so that about l
person in go is paying State income
taxes.
One reason for the small percentage
is that Virginia farmers, while living
comfortably to a large extent, have
relatively small cash incomes and so are
not subject to the income tax.
