 He then played his last high spade and led the five of spades to dummy's queen. North at this point held the diamond jack and four clubs to the jack. South held the heart jack and four clubs to the 10.
 North was forced to give up one of his four clubs to hold a dia- mond. When 1t came South's turn to play, he too. had to give up a club, as otherwise dummy, which had the eight and six of hearts, the eight of diamonds and the trey of clubs, would be able to cash the heart tricks.

TAX
PLAN SPLITS
DC. GROUP
Allen Favors, Hazen
Opposes Additional
Revenue Move

Proposal of a sales tax on to-
bacco as a means of raising needed
revenue for the Districts treasury
caused a split in opinions ex-
pressed today by two of the Com
missioners.
Commissioner George E. Allen
announced himself in favor of
such a tax. He declared the Dis.
trict was in a sorry financial strait
and levy, such as sales tax
on tobacco, was needed to meet
the expected deficit.
The Commissioner did not state
how much of a tax on tobacco he
favored, but discussed the situa-
ton from general rather than
a particular viewpoint.
Hazen Opposes Tax
On the other hand, Commits
sioner Melvin C. Hazen, while he
made no statement, indicated he
was opposed to such tax be-
cause of the already heavy tax
placed on tobacco by the Federal
Government.
The proposal for the tobacco
sales tax originated in the spe
cial committee appointed by the
District to map out additional ave
nues of revenue to meet the an
ticipated 100000 deficit if the
current tax rates are carried
through the fiscal year 1888.
Meeting Called
Meanwhile Commissioner Hazen
called a meeting of the tax COM
n1lttee to map out a partial re-
port so the city heads may be in
readiness when the tax hearings
of House District subcommittee
are resumed tomorrow.
The city heads and the COM
mittee will consider proposals for
a 1-cent increase in the gasoline
tax; an automobile weight tax in
lieu of the present personal prop
erty tax on automobiles; the
tobacco sales tax and taxes on in
Surance companies.
