Appeals, who formerly served as as.
sistant corporation counsel in charg.
OF business privilege legal questions.
District officials had calculated they
would receive roughly 100000 ir
tax payments under the business priv.
1lege levy for the past fiscal year
plus some $270,000 for license fees
The final tabulations have not vel
been made.
Some District officials said they be-
Heved the decision would apply only
to taxpayers who could show that they
had been engaged in interstate busi-
ness, but they explained they had not
yet read the decision.
Number Affected Unknown.
Oficials in the business privilege divi.
sion said they had no way OF knowing
accurately how many taxpayers would
be involved in the interstate questions,
but it was estimated that probably
5000 "out-of-town" concerns had OBJ
tained licenses during the past year
What these firms had paid in in taxes
was not known because the business
privilege tax staff had not yet reached
the point Of making an analysis of
their tax records.
Most previous court attacks on the
law have failed because OF a ruling
that constitutionality of the law could
be tested only after payment of the
tax under protest. The grocery COM
pany fulfilled this requirement.
A somewhat similar case was taken
to the United States Court of Ap-
peaS In May by the produce firm
OF Neild & Sauerhoff, ON appeal from
q decision by Judge Ellen K. Raedy
IN Municipal Court denying its suit
to recover taxes paid under protest
That case Is still pending.
Levy Was Opposed.
Continuation of the levy on gross
business receipts, adopted last year as
an emergency measure to keep Dis
trict finances out of the red for the
1888 fiscal year, was opposed vigor-
ously by Washington and nearby busi-
ness interests during the last session
OF Congress.
The opposition resulted in several
notifications, including a sliding
scale to reduce the burden of the levy
on nonresident firms
The District Grocery Stores attack
on the law was filed in District Court
last December, few days after q
three-judge court had avoided a ruling
on the levy's constitutionality in dis
missing suit by Howard w. Berry.
