More Important to

BIZ AssociuteG Press.

Paris, Wednesday. Aug. 20.-Con-
gresham Oscar e. Bland, of Indiana,
a member of the war expenditures
investigating committee, which is
here examining records pertaining to
the liquidation of the affairs of the
American Army in France, said to-
day that he felt it was more Import
ant to lower the cost of living for
the American public than to endeav-
or to protect market prices and pre-
vent the market from breaking.
He said the pressure brought to
bear by American dealers and man
ufacturers in an effort to prevent the
return of war supplies from France
to America were Objectionable to him
adding that when Americans so bad

"POLL" TAX MUST
BEPAID COUNTY
Levy Is Made on Every Male,
Regardless of Property
Holdings

Because of the inquiries being
made about the assessment of 40
cents as a county occupation, or
poll" tax as it is generally known
the county commissioners to-day
explained that every male resident
of the city and county, 81 years OF
age and over, according to law must
pay this tax, whether or not he owns
property.
In the majority of cases the as
SCISSOR in the various wards assess
each male resident 500, on which
each year a tax is due the county at
the mill rate fixed for that year by
the county commissioners. For
1919 the tax rate is four and one
half mills, and the occupation or
poll tax is 40 cents.
Persons who do not own property,
upon the payment of this tax. are
entitled to vote. Property owners in
addition to paying the usual tax on
the houses and ground they own,
are assessed the poll" tax also. In
some instances assessors add from
$3.50 to $500 for certain occupations
known to pay much higher salaries
than the majority of men earn at
trades.
According to the provisions of an
act passed by the Legislature at the
recent session, soldiers, sailors or
marines. may pay tax of ten cents
to the tax collectors, if they have
not been assessed in the usual way
and may use that tax receipt to
register in order to vote in Sep
ber and in November.
County Solicitor Philip S. Meyer
said to-day that he understood a
ruling would be given by the At
torney General explaining in full the
procedure under this act.
Registration days in Harrisburg
are August 2S, September and 13.

The Board of Grounds and Build
ings has ordered a survey of the Cap
itol grounds for the purpose of find
ing out the best location for a new
electric light, heat and power plant
The old steam heat and electric plant
will not answer the purposes of a
larger park and additional public
buildings. The Board also will look
into the question OF buying light and
heat from the Harrisburg Light and
Power Company. and will have a
comparison of costs made. The sur
vey will also include the lines of new
water mains and sewers in the en-
larged park.

The Board has authorized Greiner
and Company, of Baltimore, the con-
sulting experts on the Memorial
bridge, to select resident engineer
on the building and it is likely that
w. L. Perrine. already chosen as res
ident engineer for the bridge will
also take over the engineer ring duties
on the building. This will save the
State, considerable money by placing
supervision of the two undertakings
in the hands of the Boards resident

taken Immediately by the state for
the widening of Walnut street. al
though nothing definite has been de-

feel that it will take but a short
time to take down the trees along the
present curb line and increase the
street space by adding the present
width of the pavement. No immedi-
ate action will be taken on widening

ished the work which will close

ahead with the terracing and i'm
provement of the Third street front

ing the Walnut street Improvement
traffic conditions during the construc-
ton in the Capitol Park zone will be
materially benefited and that this
work is one of the first projects of
the big improvements that should be
undertaken. Final decision on the
improvements will likely be taken at

1t gives dependable service. 1t is the

light weight and low operating cost, men now
demand performance, luxury, comfort and

turns in a short radius. It steers easily. 1t
can be parked in spaces too small for the
average car. It has many qualities you will
like.
Ask yourself what car is so modern, what is
the type of the future, what light car can
match its performance. 1t is exclusive in
many particulars and no other car built has all
the features of the Essex.
