Fairgrounds will be asked. in line with
a report by William j. Toomev. He
pointed out that Sherwood Playground
has been under construction for the
last three years, but has not been

age to Brentwood Playground, caused
by the circus, will be asked, and the
association will urge that new play
ground be established either on the
grounds OF Gallaudet College or at
Bladensburg and Mount Olivet roads.
The Trinidad area is without a fire
company between North Capitol street
on the west and Thirteenth street on
the east, B street southeast on the
south and the railroad tracks on the
north, according to J. H. Thomas. He
offered resolution, which was adopt

A vote of thanks was given George

for the work he has beer doing to
improve the Northeast section, and

to include 1t in the program because
the "use tax" itself was so susceptible
of evasion.
Before tackllng the problem of the
"use tax" In connection with the gen.
eral sales tax, Corporation Counsel
Elwood H. Seal got into communica-
ton with the California Tax Equal
ization Board In that State, which
adopted sales tax few years ago,
1t was reported that use tax" for
the purpose Of preventing evasions,
had worked out satisfactorily.
Copies Of the perfected draft of the
program were to be made available
also to the Senate Appropriations Sub
committee. which is handling the Dis
tr1ct supply bill. That group baked
yesterday. however, at the idea of
writing a tax program into the ap-
preparation bill, in view of the fact
that Maj. Daniel Donovan, District
budget ofhcer, advised there.is no peg
in the bill at present on which to
hang taxes. Revenue legislation in

"The principal objection to this
form Of taxation" said a statement
the Commissioners submitted to the
subcommittee, us that the poor man
pays equally with the rich In the pur-
chase Of necessities. This objection,
however, is obviated by exempting
food from the operation Of this tax
The Commissioners explained that
retail sales in the District last year
amounted to 1896 200, 900, of which
$70,0Oo,o00 represented sales Of food
This leaves. they said, approximately
$265, 900 900 upon which a 2 per cent
tax should be levied.
Income Tax Temporarily Screamed.
While the Commissioners temporar.
lily scrapped their proposals for an in
come tax and business privilege tax
based on gross receipts, they said these
TWO plans should not be abandoned
Tor future consideration.
An income tax, the Commissioners
salo' should not be adopted at this
time, In view Of the necessity of rais-
Ing with certainty" a definite sum
Due to the peculiar status of the
District, which is not paralleled any,
where In the United States" they de-
clared, great difficulties are presented
IN attempting to determine what in
come would be taxable by the District
and upon whom the tax could be
levied. 1t Is, therefore, impossible to
estimate with any reasonable degree
OF accuracy the amount of revenue to
be derived from such a tax, and it |,
possible, because of the numerous legal
questions involved, that the entire act
imposing such tax might be held
void.
"A business privilege tax REQUIRES
time for consideration in order to de-
termine the treatment to be accorded
peculiar classes Of business operating
in the District and the effect of the
tax upon wholesalers and retailers and
also the resultant effect upon the con-
sumers or users OF the commodity or
service"
A rough draft of the "use tax" was
drawn up by the three District lawyers
on the Commissioners Special Tax
Advisory Committee late yesterday,
as suggested means to prevent eva

goods purchased by local taxpayers in
another jurisdiction and brought into

BY the Associated Press.
HENDAYE, Franco-Spanish From
tier, May 25.-Gen. Emilio Mola's in
surgent army was reported today to
have captured the town of Yurre and
a WIDE region to the north opening the
way for a double thrust against Gal
dacano, strategic highway junction
southeast of Bilbao and key to the
city's iron ring" defenses.
With two insurgent columns ham,
mering toward it, Galdacano seemed
destined to be the center of the crucial
battle for possession Of the BASQUE
capital.
Verdant hills, overlooking Yurre, on
one OF the highways that fork out
from Galdacano, reverberated to the
blasts of mortars and field pieces, as
Basque "Gudaris" and their Asturian
neighbors struggled shoulder to shoul-
der to hold pocket" on the south
eastern front
Several thousand troops recently
called into action aided the defenders.
Basque commanders declared that
Galdacano, perhaps the most strategic
point on the iron semi-circle of forti-
f1cations protecting Bilbao from the
north, east and south, had been suf-
f1ciently bulwarked to bring Mola's
warriors to definite halt, but con-
tinued doggedly to delay this final
test.
The government outpost in the
Yurre hills was in a delicate position.
One column of Mola's men and guns
was being thrust from Amorebeta
toward Lemona. which lies between
Galdacano and Yurre. This column
threatened to cut off the forces in the
Yurre sector.
Another insurgent column, protect
Ing the Lemona- bound force from
flank onslaught, battered along the
main road between Amorebieta and
Galdacano, which roughly parallels the
route through Lemona.
Yurre lies about miles due south
OF Lemona, while Lemona is but
mile and half southeast of Galda-
cano. Galdacano is at the junction of
roads from Durango and Vitoria, both
tnsurgent bases.

Since the funds from the gasoline
