Mr. Richards announced his indorse- ment of the plan to revise collection of the tangibl® property tax on auto- mobiles by making payment of such tax a condition precedent to obtaining > license tag to operate an automobile in the District, thereby insuring pay- ment of the tax annually. Representatite Gibson of Vermont asked if the “Aodging” of automobile personal taxes was not one of the big leaks in the local revenues. M. Richards said it was ‘“‘tremendou: The only other witness to appear was Harmon Burns, clerk of the Dis- trict of Columbia Jury Commission, who explained in detail the method pursued in selecting the names of jurors for condemnation cases in the District. Mr. Houston and Mr. Hammer went into an exhaustive examination of this system with the witness. Mr. Hammer criticized the methods em- ployed in such selection as being such would fail to establish the moral standing of the prospective jurors be- fore sent into the courtroom for ex- aminatior. Mr. Bufns stated that he selected the names from a city directory, and after checking the addresses in a telephone book put them into the sealed jury box, from which the jury commissioners later drew them. He sald no preliminary examination of men’s fitness to be jurors was made, as the law stated definitely that such examination was not to be made.
