Refund of Tex on Ship's Repsirs. Judge Simplicio del Rosaria in a decision at Manila recently ruled that the provision of the not of congress of August 9, 1909, which provided for an ad valorem | tax of 50 per cent on the value of repairs to steamers abroad or vessels under the Philippine registry. laviable by the insular government, was not applicable to the case of Gutierrez Hermanos. when they had the Magallanes repaited in Hongkong on the ground that no facilities for such repairs were available in the islands Gutierrez Hermanos were ordered sometime last year by Customs officials to have the tail shaft of the Magallanes" repaired: The firm ordered the repair made in Hongkong, paying the sum of 71,694.5% dollars in Mexican money. Upon the return of the vessel here, the collector of custorns levied the 59 per cent. ad valorem tax on these repairs, requiring the company to pay P45,296.28 Gutierrez protested, taking the case to the court of first instance. In the decision of yesterday Judge del Rosario ordered the collector of Customs to refund the tar ao collected.
