MANTON, Circuit Judge.

Respondent is the chairman of the Albany Port District Commission, and the petitioner seeks to tax his salary received for the year 1930, under the Revenue Act of 1928 (45 Stat. 791), 26 USCA § 2001 et seq. The Board of Tax Appeals held that his income was exempt because it was a salary paid by the state of New York to a state officer, for services rendered in the performance of an essential governmental function.
