ARLINGTON COUNTY HOUSE, Va., August 31.—A petition to | dismiss the appeal now being prepared by Ccmomnwealth Attorney William C. Gloth in the delinquent tax tst suit wes presented to the Board of Super- visors yeslerday by Col. Charles T. Jesse, i president. of the Arlington County Bar Association, and signed by 13 attorneys, ' | but failed to receive favorable action. Col. Jesse in speaking before the board said that failure cn its part,to dismiss the apepal would defeat th purpose of the board, which it set out to accom- attorney to file suits to collect delinquent ! taxes. "No_taxes will be paid except | ch beecome necessary to com- for loans, the attorney said | A Case in Point. | In citing a case, Col. Jesse added that 79 suits have been filed against one single land owner, and the amount of ! taxes involved in $614.71 for the years | 1926 and 1928, of which less than one- | half was delinquent at the time the suit was filed. Should the owner wish to pay these taxes during the pendency of the appeal it would be necessary for him to pay about $3,000, but if the appeal is dismissed he pays $614.71, including thos> of 1928, which were not delinquent | at the time of filing the claim. | Col. Jesse, said it is evident that no business man will pay $3.000 to satisfy a bill of $600 and that he would wait with the hope the Court of Appeals | would sustain Circuit Court Judge Howard W. Smith. {plying declared that it was not the man with small taxes that did not pay but it is the promotor who buys acreage | that is not paving his taxes causing the county to suffer for the want of funds to operate its government. In most of these suits which have been filed the |land is unoccupied and is being held for speculation, Mr. Gloth said He added, regardless of what action the board takes, the suits will be con- tinued to be filed in the name of the State tax commission. Mr. Gloth said that he paid between $1.600 and $1.800 a year and that he objected to am move that will stop others from payin thefr taxes. Salary Cut Off. The salary of Achie C.
