BAY STATE
AIDS JERSEY

Word has just been received by City
Comptroller Tyler Parmly that Governor
Foss. of Massachusetts. has signed the
law legalizing bonds of New Jersey mu-
inequalities in that State. This infor-
nation was received with great salts
faction by the officials who have charge
OF the finances of this city. The new
law of the Bay State will result In the
establishment of wider field wherein
Newark bonds may be legally bought
and sold. 1t will be effective after
July ].
The action of the Massachusetts Leg
isature In opening the doors of that
commonwealth TO New Jersey bonds,
thus enabling the savings banks located
there TO buy and sell the same results
from recent endeavors of Mr.. Parmly.
Some time ago, In receiving bids for
an issue of bonds the comptroller no,
ticed that not one came from Massa-
chusetts. Investigation disclosed that no
application had ever been made to the
end that these securities be legalized in
that State.
Mr. Parmly journeyed to Boston, where
he had interviews with the State Com
missioner of Banking and with Governor
Foss. TO eacn delegate he exhibited a
statement showing that the net bonded
indebtedness of this city was a little
less than three and one half per cent. of
the assessed valuation. This SO Impressed
the Bay State officials, that on the rec
ommendation of the Banking Commission
er Governor Foss asked the Legislature
to pass the bill. This was done and
the measure was signed by the Gov
ernor last Saturday.
The law Affects not only the bonds OF
Newark. but all municipalities in this
State having a population of SOooo or
more. 1t provides that savings banks
can exploit the legally authorized bonds
of cities of 10000 or more population
whose net bonded debt is not greater
than per cent. of the total assessed
valuation and OF cities Of more than
100 900 population whose net bonded debt
is not greater than per cent. OF the
assessed property valuation.

began, my wrist and shin itched like
poison. ! would scratch those places
until they would bleed before l could
get any relief. Afterwards the places
would scale over, and the flesh un-
derneath would look red and feverish,
Sometimes IT would begin to itch until
II would waken me from my sleep.
and | would have to go through the
scratching ordeal again.
Our physician pronounced 1t dry
eczema" used an ointment which
the doctor gave me, but 1t did no good.
Then he advised me to try the Cuti.

been in our family for years. and is
considered hereditary. felt anxious
to try to head 1t off. got the CUT.
