TOTTENVILLE, Oct. 20-The
staten Island Chamber of Commerce
after an investigation of the tele-
phone situation on Staten Island
have adopted resolutions and for
warded them to the Public Service
Commission, favoring the granting
of an increase in rates to the phone
company. The resolutions are sign
ed by the telephone committee of
the Chamber of Commerce, William
S. Van Clief, Louis l.. Tribus,
Charles D. Durkee, E. A. Joline and
Max Thaten. The resolutions were
adopted on October z, at the meet
ing of the committee, the vote being
unanimous. The resolutions state
that the telephone service has been
inadequate for the want of proper
facilities. 1t also stated that the
committee in it's investigation has
found that the company is mourning
financial loss in the operation and
maintenance of the service.
Better service is being demanded
by the public, the resolutions go on
and provision for this will require
heavy exp Observation-Disclosures
heavy expenditure by the company.
1t Is conceded the resolutions read
that increased wages and cost of
material have effected the telephone
business In common with all others
and it must be recognized hat un-
less sufficient revenue is provided to
meet such increased cost a restora-
ton of the service to require eff
cheney and a greater extension of ia
cilities cannot be anticipated. The
resolutions approve of the granting
of a reasonable increase in rates,
stating that this will enable the COM
pany to furnish adequate service to
the city.

ANOTHERFERR
To MANHATTAN
Borough President Van Name
Makes Announcement at
Local Board Meeting.

By SPECIAL Correspondent.
TOTTENNILLE, Oct. 20:-Bor-
ough President Calvin ID. Van Name
before the opening of the meeting
of the local board of public i'm
provement AT Borough Hall, St.
George, made the announcement
hat another ferry would be estab-
lished between the borough of Rich
mond and Manhattan. This new
line, he said, would be between Sta
pleton and Cortlandt street. Man
haitian. The board room was crowd
ed with taxpayers and others inter-
ested in the development of Staten
Island and the proposition of an
other ferry between Richmond and
Manhattan was received with much
enthusiasm by the aSsemblage.
This line, 1t was announced, would
be run by the city and would mean
much for business people and others
in that section of the island having
business in Manhattan. 1t will also
be a big relief for trucking from the
center of the island.
At the local board meeting the
petition to open Bentley street about
1000 feet from Amboy road through
the section known as the Leland
property passed as also did the petit
ton to regulate, grade and pave
with D1tum1nOuS pave
ment at a width of twelve feet the
roadway of Yetman e n from
Depew venue to Surf avenue. in
Raritan Bay Park. With opposition
against the construction of side
walks in Amboy road, between Ar
den avenue, Annadale and Fosters
road. Prince Bay, this petition up
for the fourth time was again laid
over.
The construction of sidewalks
which the members of the local
board have advocated for some
time because of the danger of pedes-
TRANS walking along that thorough
fare where there are nc sidewalks
has been opposed by many taxpay-
ers because of the large stretch of
property that they w along the
road. The petition to lay sidewalks
along the road in Pleasant Plains to
Foster road was passed last spring
and the walks are now being laid.
The Bentley street extension had no
opposition and was passed. 1t was
thought at first hat the petition
meant to the Southfield boulevard,
but Engineer Oxholm explained diff
ferent and that ii was only to the
proposed line of the boulevard.
Those from this section at the
meeting were Stuart l.. Ritz, Ira j..
Horton and Charles Wagner, of Tot
,enville. James Higgins and Benja-
min Brown of Annadale.

The company first came into be-
ing. according to Attorney Golen-
book, in May, 1919. when a meeting
was called in the Greek Catholic
church in Roosevelt by Basil
Shklaryk and Joseph Melnyk. This
meeting was attended by the Ukra-
MAN people of the borough and they
were urged to purchase stock In h
company. The money thus obtained
was used to purchase property and
goods to open up grocery stores
under the name of the National
Supply Company. Two stores were
placed in operation, one in Wood
bridge and the other in Roosevelt,
and as the company has not been
able to pay either the principle or
interest on the mortgage, the pres-
ent proceedings have been begun.
1t is said that many of the for.
eigners invested in the company and
that some placed all their earnings
in the venture and nave received no
returns from the company on their
stock. Basil Shklaryk is the presi-

down a decision setting aside the ac-

ords show that women are carrying
their share of the burden OF the IN
come tax. Not only are they coptribu-
ting from the earnings of fortunes left
to them, but substantial taxes are
based on gains acquired through their

trading and in business.

men 'kickers' among the income tax
payers. They accept the law and pay
their tax. and very few of them are
