In this way the city wai denied its lawful income, and ii church was but poorly recom pensed. For these reasons, the law was wade. It was not the Intention to require the tax from entertainments given Bolely by home enterprise. By some mlsiinderstandltr; the Pub lic School entertainment was taxed, but the council will refund the money.
