News of Ensley

Two additional cooling towers are be-
ing erected at the cooling plant of the
tennessee company at Ensley and are
rapidly nearing completion. The towers
are constructed of structural iron, REIN
forced cement and timber treated with
creosote. The plant consists of eight
cooling towers, each costing $4,000 to
build, making the total cost of the plant
100000
The purpose of the plant is to cool the
water that has been used around the
steel plant and blast furnaces, which in
passing through the tyeires and other APP
pliances used at the furnaces becomes
quite hot. and has to be cooled before
used again. The hot water is pumped to
the top of the cooling tower and passed
through a number of chambers that are
cooled by air, which cools the water,
making it ready for use again.

POSTAL SAVINGS
ARE EXEMPT FROM
--
ALL TAXATION
According to the Opinion of
Officials at the Postofice
. Department.

Whether postal savings bank de-
posts may be attached and whether,
also, they are taxable, are two Ques-
lions that officials Of the postal saw
ings system will have to face sooner
or later. Today they declined to dis
lcuse the matter.
1.-THE final decision will be made by
the courts" 1t was declared. ''In the
meantime, though we have our own
opinions, what we would or could say
would not be ultimate"
The matter has not yet been present.
ed to the courts, but when the Ques-
ton of attachment or taxation Is pre-
scented II will individually afford a per-
picking problem. The attorney general
Of the State Of New York recently ex-
pressed an opinion that postal savings
deposits are taxable, and IT is very
probable that some litigation will soon
be instituted to determine the taxable
or non-taXable status Of such deposits.
There seems to prevail at the POST
c tbs, e6t an an oPI
In the first place the act creating the
postal savings system requires that no
official, postmaster, or clerk, make
known the account Of any person, and
II is assumed tentatively that even a
tax assessor would thus be barred from
levying.
Added to that fart in this contention
is the theory, seemingly tenable, that
the deposits are really not the prop
erty of the depositors but are held by
the Government, as in trust, and II
may be argued that moneys held by the
Government may not be taxed or at
tached. Some think that even when the
postal savings funds are lent by the
Government to individual banks they
may not be taxed as assets.
II is recognized that Il information
as to deposits were desired by an as
SCISSOR, or other civil officer, recourse
might be had to the courts for a writ
If mandamus to compel the postmaster
holding. or in charge of the funds to
give information. It is probably upon
this point that the litigation would
hinge.
The act creating the system specifies,
as regards both taxation and attach
ment that the postal savings bonds,
into which deposits may be converted,
are not subject to any kind of taxation.
The deposits themselves, however, arc
not mentioned in this respect.
Just now the Government is desig-
mating postal savings Offices at the rate
of 100 a day. with the total already
more than 1000. and has had as yet lit
tie time for a consideration of the taxa
ton or other problems that may arise.
