URGES SALE Of BONDS
Chamber of Commerce Passes
Resolutions for Disposal at o5
Cents, if Necessary

The board of directors of the cham
Der of commerce in specia1 meeting
called for this purpose passed the fol
lowing resolution addressed to the
city council:
Resolved that we respectfully re-
quest your honorable body to sell the
park and viaduct bonds at once at
the best price offered-95c or better
if necessary. We believe the price
offered for our bonds only drawing 5
per cent is better offer than our
neighboring city is getting for her 6
per cent bonds for we are saving
thousands of dollars of interest. What
our city needs is quick action on our
bonds to get the work started for our
laboring men. The difference of 2
or 8 cents on bonds now is worth
more to our city generally than it will
be six months from now, we believe
the city is losing money every day
by the delay"

HOW CANADA FARES
ON PAPER TARIFF
Treasury Rulings as to I'm
ports Are Completed.

The Acting Secretary of the Treasury,
James Freeman Curtis, has completed
the new regulations for the admission of
pulp wood, wood pulp, and print paper
into the United States from Canada One
of the questions was as TO importations
cut partly from crown lands and partly
from privately owned lands. On the
former there are restrictions, and on the
latter there are none The department
has held that where an importation con-
sists of wood taken partly from the
crown lands and partly from private
lands the sworn statement OF the i'm
porter shall be accepted as to the per-
centage of each, and the duty levied ac-
cordingly. This has been the practice
under the Payne law and the Dingiey
law.
In view of a decision of the surveyor
general of New Brunswick, that the re-
strictions of that province on exports Of
wood and paper cannot apply to licenses
taken out before October l, the depart
ment will admit free of duty all wood

are the products of timber cut under Ii

tions dutiable after August q.

1t was said at the Office of Militia At

Is no reason why the National Guard
should not ask for aeroplanes and aero

known reason why such requisitions
should not be honOred.

is likely that after Lieut.. Foulois gets

that they will do So"
In only four States and the District
