Board Amends Action
So as to Lift Levies for

BY he Associated Press.


RICHMOND, March 9.-The Stas
Reciprocity Board has decided tc
waive Virginia's 2 per cent gros,
receipts tax on out-of- State truck.
and its 81 registration fee for foreign
vehicles for the duration.
G. F. Joyner, jr., chairman Of the
board, said he could not estirnat,
Immediately the amount of revenue
the State would lose as a result
Of the boards action.
Only Thomas w. Ozlin voted
against the move, which was in line
with the position taken by Gov
Darden that any action, as pre-.
viously considered by the board
which would discriminate against
neighbor State, in this case North
Carolina, would be unwise.
The board had previously recon.
mended that the gross receipts tan
be suspended to all States EXCEPT
the State which has laws pro.
Vldlng for a gross receipts tax which
has heretofore been imposed. or is
now being imposed. in whole or in
part, on vehicles from the State"
Gov. Darden had written the
board that this recommendation
would result in "a harmful discrimi-
nation, since the result of your sug-
geStlon is to suspend the tax as to
every State except North Carolina.
After the boards action in recon-
mendlng that the tax be imposed on
North Carolina vehicles but not on
other out-of-State trucks. the Gov
ernor asked additional consideration
OF the matter in the light of the
views which I have expressed"
Administrator Joseph H Eastman
OF the Office of Defense Transpor-
tatlon had requested that Virginia
authorities do everything possible ia
remove for the duration certain
barriers to interstate commerce.
In his written statement to the
board, Gov, Darden declared that
he was in accord with the boards
views as to the justice of the tax
levied, but that quite a different
situation confronts us because of
the war.

ertY covers 3i3 acres.
During the Civil War the church
was used as headquarters for the
Union soldiers who were camping
nearby. While they were there the
minister was not allowed near the
pulpit, because the church at that
time was part of the Southern

Virginia l.3C Board
Upheld in Control Of
Interstate Traffic
Court Of Appeals Rules
In l9 Cases; LeesDure
lcses Tax Case

RICHMOND. March 9.-The right
Of the STATE Liquor Board to regulate
int2rS-a ate liquor traffic in Virginia
was upheld by the State Supreme
Court Of Appeals in one Of 10 opin-
ions HANDED Gown yesterday.
The opinion, prepared by Justice
c. Vernon SpratloE. overruled con-
tcntiong th9t The regulations Of the
ABC Board have no extra terri
torial effect ond are null and void in
SO far as a non resident is con-
Cerned." and thas the regulations
dealing with the transportation of
liquor through the State constituted
burden on interstate commerce.
The case was appealed from Prince
William County by Earl Dickerson,
who was arrested and convicted Of
transporting liquor in excess of |
gallon through the State to a con-
signee in North Carolina who could
noc lawfully receive the liquor The
1852 gallons Of liquor and the liquor
truck were ordered confsca ed
Town Loses Appeal.
The court affirmed a lower court
order denying the town of LeeSbure
the right to retain for its own pur-
poses all the revenue received by it
from levies on the stocks Of banks.
The town, appealing from a iudg
ment in the Circuit Court of Lou
doun County. contended that an act
Of the General Assembly relating tc
the bank stock revenues was unCon-
StltutiOnal and void in requiring the
town to apply one-third of the reve-
nue. to the schools OF the district in
which the banks issuing such stocks
are located.
The opinion said that both the
town and school district Of Lees
burg ARE creatures of the Legisla-
ture within the authorization and
limitation of the constitution.
THE Legislature has ample power
to fix and limit the rate Of taxation
on taxable subjects within the town
and to provide how the proceeds
from such taxation shall be eXpend-
ed for the benefit Of the taxpayers. -
Judgment Affirmed
The court affirmed judgment in
another damage case, awarding $40
600 to Alfred M. Remschel for iniu-
ries suffered when he stumbled over
stump in parking lot operated by
the Acme Markets. Inc. for the use
Of customers. The case was ap-
pealed from the Corporation Court
Of Alexandria
The opinion said there was no
substantial conflict in evidence ex-
cept as to the adequate lighting of
the lot, and in our opinion the
question of negligence and contrib
utory negligence in this case were
for the jury to decide.
