MCCARTHY Is AGAINST
TAX DEDUCTIONS

Senate Bill 65, introduced few
days ago by Senator r. w. Single
and providing that estimated depreci-
alton may be deducted from income
taxes before they are paid into the
territorial treasury, is slated for some
decided opposition very shortly.
Treasurer Charles J. Mccarthy
placed himself on record last night
against the measure in meeting Of
the senate ways. and means commit
tee, and asked to be heard officially
when the bill is taken up for consider
alton. .... -.
Senator Single, it is understood,
introduced the bill upon request and
is not necessarily In favor of it. Judge
w. L. Whitney is said to have drawn
up the measure. Iii. IS.
According to the belief of Treasurer
Mccarthy such law would result in
a legion of legal suits as to the proper
amount to be deducted from profits
before the income is estimated.
In matters of actual expenditures for
replacements this could be computed,
he believes, but not on theoretical
estimates r..:, - . .-....

IL. F0rDeS Is not 10 De releQ upon. IN
expressing this conviction we are not
moved by any personal animus toward
Mr.. Forbes. Because OF his abundant
energy, he is undoubtedly fitted to do
good and useful work along some lines
in this or any ether community, but
, it is our belief that the design Of en-
gineering works is not the direction in
which Mr.. Forbes talents lie
We can see no legitimate economic
reason why man whose approved
plans and specifications led to the
present deploratle condition of af-
fairs on piers s, 9 and 10, which We
recited in our former report, and who
now admits by his proposed ''deck-slab
anchorage" scheme that his former
plans were grayely defective, should
be permitted 4 second opportunity so
recklessly to plan and execute an i'm
portaDt and expensive work. Il
Finally, TO Mr.. Forbes criticisms
of the estimates Of cost which we sub
mitted with our former report, we con-
slider it unnecessary to make any re-
ply. Our regulations as engineers
stand back of those figures and the
designs to which they apply. We be-
lieve the structures which we planned
would be safe, and, though far from
ideal. to be the best which could rea-
sonably be built, considering all the
circumstances. In

A GLOWING TRIBUTE

safety first, in spite Of romance!
There are here great liveoak trees
under which the Indians reveled ages
before the colonists came. And the
citizens of Brunswick have had the
fine aestheticism in their souls which
have caused them to preserve these
trees. Even driveways and car lines
have been turned out of straight lines
in order to save these giants of the
forest. How splendid this! You can
grow geranium in few months. It
takes God century to grow giant
oak To the lover of nature-God's
handiwork, it's strange that poet
had to write "Axman, spare that
tree" These moss covered oaks look
like Gods sentinels of the centuries.
Were the Druids living they would
worship under these sylvan temples.
And it is easy for Christian to think
that the infinite God loves these trees.
Were the Nazarene to visit Bruins
wick, as once he walked in Palestine.
I'm sure that he would sometimes
rest and pray beneath these wonder
full giant evergreens. One can fancy
Him looking at them and catch the
inspiration for new parallels.
But while the natural scenery of
the city lends itself to dreams. its
people have not been asleep more
than was their necessary need. They
have builded exquisitely. Their pub
lie buildings are types of architectu-
raj beauty. The federal building
