p. R. r. Head Trying to Save
Property, Now in Financial
Difficulties
FULLY TO CONDUCT ROAD

Buffalo, Dee. 5.--Thomps II. Mittcn.
head Of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit
Co., has hccn here arranging to take
over the affairs of tho International
Street Railway Co. of this city.
IT. Is understood that another official
Of thc Philadelphia company. Hcrhprt
g. Tnllv. vice president Of the Philn
delphia Rapid Transit Co.. who also has
been in Buffalo for several days. will
Street Railway Co, representing Mr..
Milton.
The main Offices of the company will
be transferred TO Philadelphia. so that
Mr.. NIitten cnn continue to direct the
Philadelphia Rapid Transit Go. as well
as the company here.
~ Mr.. AIittcn is widely known in Bnf
falo. His early street railway expert
ence was gained here. llc left Buffalo
to go to Chicago. where he made his
PRINCIPAL reputation before going to
PHILADELPHIA.
Mr.. Milton comes into control of the
Buffalo street railway through the com
pany's inability to pay the interest on
Its bonds. Mr.. Mittcn left the com
pany in thriving condition some years
ago, but it since has got into Difficult
ties. He retained chnirmanship of the
bondholders' committee. and when that
body bought the company III recently
under foreclosure proceedings. Mr.. Nit
ten was named active head of the con-
cern.
One of the first steps taken by the
enew executive was to bring efficiency
experts from Philadelphia. who had
been doing traction work there. to study
the Buffalo situation in all its details.
1t is understood that an elaborate re-
port will be- presented by these experts.
and that when the Mitten management
takes over the lines, January L, many
changes will be made. ..,
One OF the big questions here is that
OF fare. The Public Service Commits
sion has granted permission for the
international Co. to raise its fare from
Ave to seven cents. The change has
not gone into effect, and will not until
MIR. Milton takes over the management
Street railway men are waiting TO see
what he will do.
- There is belief that he will con
tnue the present five-ccnt fare, believ-
ing that he can make the property pay
by efficient management. Mr.. Mitten

fare rate in Philadelphia are taken a.

9Es9s:55 Esss5 President Signs Auto Tax

on the'business of operating or rent
ing passenger automobiles for hire,
are taxed SO annually for each au-
tomobile seating more than one or
less than eight passengers and $50 a
year for automobiles seating more
than seven.
The tax situation regarding the
exporting of automobiles, tires, parts,
and accessories therefore is changed,
SO that under the new law all such
articles sold or leased for export
and in due course exported" are not
subject to the tax. This is in COM
pliance with the Federal constitu-
tional provision against taxes on ex-
ports.
There are some complicated pr6vis-
ions in section 1872 Of the new law
to the effect that on contracts for
the sale or lease of cars and parts,
etc, made prior to the date when
this new law was first discussed in
Congress, the purchaser or lessee
must reimburse the seller or lessor
for the tax that the latter has to
pay.
Monthly Returns. ,
Those liable for the tax on auto
mobiles, tires, parts, and accessories
must make monthly returns under
oath, in duplicate, to the local col
lector of internal revenue and pay
the taxes due to this collector with
out further notice. If the tax is not
paid when due, there is added a pen
atty of 5 per cent. together with i'm
terest at ] per cent per month. In
case or overpayment of, taxes, the
Revenue Bureau may return the
overpayment.
The tax on automobiles, tires, parts
and accessories becomes due when
the article is sold or leased. This
means, in the case Of sales, when the
legal title passes from the buyer to
the seller or when the article ceases
to be the property of the seller and
becomes the property OF the buyer,
and in case of lease. the lease is
effective generally when the lessee
receives possession of the article.
Therefore, all sales and leases by
automobile manufacturers and ac-
cessory manufacturers made on and
after February 25, are subject to the
tax rates of the new law. All sales
and leases made prior to February
25 are either tax free or subject to
the old tax rate, as the case may be,
