Auto Insurance Practice
Ruled Illegal in Maryland
By the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Aug. 25.-The state
Insurance Department said yester-
day it will issue an order stopping
automobile dealers from collecting
commissions on insurance covering
cars bought on the installment plan.
Hazelton A. Joyce. deputy insur-
Iance commissioner, said ne had a
ruling from Attorney General Hall
Hammond that the practice is il
legal Mr., Hammond decided it
violates the Maryland anti-rebate
law.
Automobile dealers have long col l.
lected considerable sums from the
insurance business. When they sell
a car ION time" the cost of the policy
is part of the conditional sales con-
tract. The dealer then gets a COM
mission from the insurance COM
pany.
Mr.. Joyce said the department
probably will issue an order next

TaxpayersSue
Alexandra 10
|EqudIize Rates
City Council Warned
Spot Reossessment
Can't Be Defended

A number of Alexandria tax
payers are suing the city for equali-
zation of their property assessments,
City Attorney Joseph M. Pancoast
told the City Council last night.
Mr.. Pancoast warned the council
that in many of these cases he saw
no way of defending the city
against the citizens who ask that
their assessments be lowered. He
called the councils attention to the
recent report on Alexandria real
estate taxes which criticized the
spot" reassessing practice en-
ployed in Alexandria.
The practice. the report declared,
consists of raising assessments on
properties as they are sold. The
report asserted this practice was
illegal as all property in a city is
required to be assessed on the same
basis. 1t was brought out that
more than 200 properties which had
been sold in recent years had been
reassessed according to their sale
prices, while other properties still
are assessed according to lower
market values.
Keeps Number Secret.
Mr.. Pancoast would not disclose
the number of such suits that had
been filed. If the court decides in
favor Of some of the petitioners, the
city may be required to refund taxes
paid on the higher assessment scale.
The city attorney said he hoped the
city would take steps to change it's
reassessing policy so that it would
not be confronted with a "delugeo
of such suits.
The Council Finance Committee
recommended general reassess-
ment of all real estate to straighten
out the inequities. City Manager
Nicholas Colasanto was instructed
to confer with City Assessor Francis
Drischler to determine the personnel
for the work.
Council gave final approval to an
amendment to the city's $3.50 900
bond issue ordinance permitting a
higher interest rate than at first
was anticipated. The amendment
places 4 per cent maximum on the
interest rate, while the ordinance
as originally written requested bids
on the bonds at per cent interest.
Financial Adviser Authorized.
The council authorized employ
ment of special financial adviser
tomorrow to help study bids which
are to be opened at noon tomorrow.
The Finance Committee was au-
thorized to employ a firm to work
out a retirement plan for city en-
ployes. Col. Everett Hellmuth, COM
.nittee chairman, outlined four plans
that could be used Costs of the
plans ranged from $4,000 a year to
SOS, 900 year.
Last nights meeting was the final
regular session of the outgoing coun-
Gil. Only three members of the
present nine-member body will con-
tinue in office after next Wednes-
day. Mayor william wilkins, one of
the three carryovers, turned the
meeting over to George K. Bender,
who Is leaving the council after IA
years. Mr.. Bender, at II, is the
councils oldest member.

rollment can be increased by 80 or

Virginia S Electors
Wont Bolt Truman,
Party Chief Indicates
From Yesterdays Last Edition.
BY the Associotsd Press

BY the Associated Press
RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 24.--State
Democratic Chairman G. Alvin
Massenburg of Hampton indicated
today there will be no official bolt
of Virginia's Democratic leadership.
Mr.. Massenburg said he will not
call meeting of the State Demo-
cratic Central Committee until
after Labor Day"
This would preclude any posi-
bility of recall to the July 2 State
Democratic Convention to give new
instructions to the electors named
at that time.
Lacking new instructions prior to
September 2, these electors are to
vote for the Truman-Barkiey ticket.
When the State convention adj
journed On July it adopted reso-
luton which permitted the Central
Committee by two-thirds vote to
order it back into session.
This was to permit new instruc-
tons to the State partys II presi-
dental electors if delegates to the
convention were not satisfied with
the slate nominated at the Demo-
cratic National Convention at Phila-
delphia.
Virginia's new presidential election
laW-the so-called anti-Truman
election law-requires that instruc-
lions to the electors of a major po-
litical party must be given by a
State convention held tat least so
days" prior to the presidential eiec-
ton.
The delaying of committee meet
ing until after September 2 would
make it impossible for this pro-
vision of the law to be met.
