selves to do everything within their power to interfere with, harass and delay as long as possible the perform ance of the plaptiff's contract with the city to build a garbage disposal plant at a site on Arthur Kill, known as Lakes or Arthur Island.
 The complaint charges also that the various officers in the government of the Borough of Richmond concerned with the building of the disposal plant kept the plaintiff running from one department to another without making any headway.
 MT. Gaffney intimates that his com pany has lost at least $100,000 by the delay.
 The complaint gives dates when various plans were first filed with the building department of the borough and how those plans were kept oscil- lating between the fire department, the building department and the bu- reau of fire prevention.

Congressional leaders a suggestion as
to how over 10 per cent Of the $ZoV'-
100000 extra revenue needed by the
government could be quickly raised

without adding TO the price the people

Treasury an additional S23,0OO,oOo an

"The difference between the two
taxes-one cent on foreign sugars ana
one-half cent on domestic-would give
the domestic sugar industry the maxi

of taxing domestic as well as imported
