TAX PENALTIES
 MAY BE LEVIED
Tomorrow Evening Last Opportunity to Pay and
 Avoid Extra $1

Payment of the old age assistance tax, with one more day before the $l penalty will be added, amounted to $102,884 today according to re- port of the close of business last night by Tax Collector William A. Ennis.
 To provide opportunity for pay ment by those unable to, arrange to call at the office during regular hours, the tax collector and a specially augmented staff will keep the office open until 8 o'clock to- night.
 Unless the tax is paid at the 8 rate before close of the office at 5 o'clock tomorrow evening, the statute requires that $1 penalty be added, making all persons liable to the tax pay $4 after Thursday.
 Slightly more than $6,OO0 was paid yesterday but the volume of mail increased until about 2,0OO pieces of mail had accumulated, pending conclusion of the capacity service of the office in receiving direct payments. y.
 The tax collector reiterated to- day the fact that failure to receive a tax bill does not relieve tax payer in the 21-6O years, inclusive, age range from liability for the tax. If persons have lost their tax bills new ones will be made out promptly on application at the office, he stated. ..

Ruling voids District
Police Regulations
On Gas Trucks
Interstate Traffic
Is Held Governed
By |. c. c. Order

In spite of District police regula-
tions to the contrary, trucks carry
ing gasoline and other inflammable |
liquids in single compartment tanks,
holding over 600 gallons. may still
rumble through Washington streets
en- route from one State to another.
Such was was the effect of rul-
ing yesterday by Police Court Judge
John P. Mcmahon based on the
grounds that the Interstate Com
merce Commission regulations COW
ering the issue must prevail over
those of the District. The case had
been under the advisement of Judge
Mcmahon for several weeks.
The question arose when Clyde
Lucas driver for a petroleum trans
port firm, was arrested on August
7 as he drove his truck loaded with
3,512 gallons of gasoline through the
District en- route from Alexandria.
Va. The truck, it was admitted,
carried single compartment tank
with capacity of approximately
$500 gallons
Driver Arrested.
Mr.. Lucas was arrested for al
legged violation of the Metropolitan
police regulation which provides
that tanks of trucks carrying in
fammable liquids through the Dis
trict which are in excess of 600
gallons capacity shall be subdi-
vided into compartments, none of
which shall exceed 600 gallons ca
pacity.'
The defendant, represented by
John j. Ferguson, Philadelphia law
yer, claimed that while the Inter-
state Commerce Commission makes
similar provision with "toler-
ance OF 10 per cent" for each COM
partment, the commission also pro-
vides the restriction shall not pro-
hibit the use of single compart-
ment tanks of excess capacity when
used for bulk hauls between cities.
Representing the District, Assis-
tant Corporation Counsel George
Nelson contended that Congress
provided the District Commissioners
with power Ito make and enforce all
such reasonable and usual regula-
tions" as it may deem necessary to
protect the lives, limbs and prop
erty" of District residents.
Called Reasonable Regulation
Hence he contended, because of
"the indammable and dangerous
nature of gasoline. the police ruling
covering the question is valid as a
reasonable regulation, for the pro-
lection of the Lives. limbs and prop
erty" of District residents.
Through his attorney, Mr.. Lucas
contended that the District derives
its power from Congress and. unlike
q sovereign State, has no reserved
police power. 1t was also claimed
that since Congress has specifically
placed the regulation of the trans.
portation of explosives by common
carrier in the hands of the Inter
state Commerce Commission, 1t has
superseded whatever powers might
have been granted to police or othel
District authorities.
Mr.. Nelson said he planned te
confer with Corporation Counsel Ell.
wood Seal as to whether the District
would appeal the case.
