STOCK MARKET

New York, March 7.-Opening.- Prices of active stocks seemed to ex- press Jess confidence in conditions at the opening of tOday's market Over night advances from Washington sug- getsed a greater strain on the political situation and foreign news was more conflicting. Some gains were scored at the outset but advances generally were limited to fractions. Later some of these gains were extended, while other issues, notably California Petro- leun, were lowered to the point of weakness. U. s. Steel, Union Pacific and Erie yielded with the rest of the list.
 Noon-Crucible Steel and Baldwin Locomotive led the irregular move ment of the early session, dealings in those stocks far exceeding the de- mand for U. s. Steel which continued. to denote moderate pressure. Crucible added 2 to yesterdays advance and Baldwin 3-4. their strength being ascribed to statements of earnings. California Petroleum common and preferred made further recessions on the poor annual report and Mexican Petroleum and Texas Company yield ed sympathetically. Sugars retained much of yesterdays buoyancy and metals were firm, Butte & Superior making a new record on it's fractional rise to 99 IA. Bonds were irregular.

MUNICIPAL ICE
 COMMISSION TO
 GARRY ON WO2K
Common Council Authorizes Board to Proceed to
 Bond Issue.

Little information is given in the report of the municipal ice and cold storage plant commission submitted to the common council last night other that the plant will be built at the city yard in HOusatOnic avenue, will cost in the neighborhood of $1 900 and will produce artificial ice by what is known as the ffcan' system The re- port was accepted and the commits sion, given permission to carry it's plans further. It was voted that the bonds for the plant be dated July 1 instead of Jan. 1. to save interest This means that very little work will be done until the middle of the summer and the plant will not be available if it is built at all until some time next year.
 The committee has been unable to obtain statistics as to the amount of ice consumed in Bridgeport and it is yet uncertain as to low much ice such a plant will produce. The com- mission proposes to ask for bids for the distribution of the product of the plant in various sections of the city. The commission under the resolution which created it has charge of the purchase, sale or lease of property and the building equipment and man agement of the plant and the sale and distribution of it's product. There is a, SZOU,OOO DOnd issue VOISo the people for the establishment of the plant. The members of the comnis- sion are Vincent S. Whitney, chair man; Timothy c. Cumming, Frederick w. Hall, and Israel J, Cohn, Harry Turner is secretary.
 When Alderman Winterburn asked unanimous consent of the council for permission for the Salts Textile Go. to erect a. frame storehouse on it's prop erty, Alderman Harrigan asked if it was proposed to take part of city street for the shed. He said that as the streets and sidewalks had refused to report on the matter of closing g South avenue for the Crane Go. all members of the council being oppos- ed, he would object to unanimous consent on the petition.
 A recess of five minutes was then taken while the fire committee con- sidered the matter and on the com mittee returning a favorable report the permission was granted by the council.

 There have been ministers in Bridgeport who received only $15 per week. he said, 'Fand a salary of $5, ,O0O in this church is equivalent to more than $15, 900 in some of the New York churches. We should aim for a big man and not be satisfied with any, thing smaller. I plead with you to make the foundation of this church such that it can be built up by future generations'

staring him in the face, he convened
the legislature in its second extra
ordinary session during his admin
istration on July 20, 1914, and cut
the state tax rate to practically what
it was when he became governor. He
reduced the tax rate not expenditures.
1t must not be forgotten that this
reduction came in the second year of
Gov. Cox's administration, just few
months before the election. 1t must
also be remembered that the high
taxes levied in 1913 by the Cox legis-
lature did not reach the state treas
ury until 1914 and that the reduc-
tions made in the state tax rate in
1914 would not effect the state treas
ury until 1915. With these facts in
mind let us see how the reduction OF
the tax rate in 1914 effected the gen.
eral revenues of the state.
Prior to July 20, 1914, the state tar
levy to support the common schools
had been fixed for several years al
1896 mills and this levy produced $2,-
18S,434 which was distributed in 1911
to the many school districts of the
state at two dollars per capita for the
enumerated youth of school age
Large as this sum is, it was not suf
ficient to pay all the school districts
the amounts due them and $303,56'
had to be taken from the general rev
enue fund of the state to make VI
this deficiency. In the face of thi
Gov. Cox had the state school lev.
cut from 1886 mills to .055 mill
which produced $379,500 with whicl
to pay for the support of the common
schools in 1915. Remember Gov Co.
| in 1914 had 2,188. .434 raised by direc
taxation to pay for the support o
the common schools while by reaso
of the Cox cut in the school levy Gov
Willis had only $379,500 in 1915 t
pay for the support of the commo
schools. AS the population of Ohio
rapidly increasing the number Q
enumerated youth of school age
increasing, thus in 1914 in Gov. Cox
administration there had to be pai
2,492 900 and in 1915 in Gov. Willis
administration there had to be pal
S2,551, ,340 for the support of tn
! common schools of the state based pr

Fiscal exhibit of the affairs of
Ohio for the year 1915 has been made
at the end of the Republican admin

the fiscal exhibit Of on year earlier not
only explodes the chief of the campaign

be absolutely false any claims of
economy made by that administration.
Here are the comparisons: Total cash

Total cash balance, Dec. 81, 1915, $9,-

For the purpose of making an in

balance December 81, 1914. So that
instead of there being a deficit of over
two million dollars in the general
revenue fund of the state at the end Of
the first year of the Republican ad-
ministration the figures of the "Ex-
positor" prove that there has been
an actual saving of more than a third
of a million of dollars as compared at
the beginning of this article by the
"Expositor."
This is no complaint or criticism
against or of Cox's reducing the
state tax rate, but it is a protest
against unfair comparisons being
made by partisan press to mislead
and prejudice the people.
