The attoriey states that “the Su- preme Court of the District has repeatedly heid that the imposition of the personal tax has no effect upon the lability of persons paying It to the license tax. In the case of Keyes & Sinith the court held that the payment of the tax on the value of their omnibusses did not release K. & S. from their Mability to pay a license for each Of them. So in the case of the Washing- ton Gas Company, argued for the company by W. b, Webb, esq. The point was expressly de- cided, and the validity of both taxes tmain- tained.
