WORKS BOARD FAVORS
AIDING UNEMPL
WITH MUNICIPAL JOBS

Discussion of unemployment and
possible measures for its relief in
this city, was a feature of the board
of works meeting, Thursday morning.
The prevailing sentiment of the board
was that if anything could be done by
the city to employ more men, it would
be done.
IF We don't pay money out in
wages, we may pay it out in soup
lines" declared Howard Dill, manager
of city water works, in discussing the
situation. Mr.. Dill was present to talk
over the proposal of Benton Heights,
residents to have main laid between
School and Stevens streets on Boyer.
The proposed main would be 713 feet
long Fire Chief Miller also was pres
ent in the early part of the meeting,
but was forced to leave when fire
alarm rang.
| Extension of the city main was de-
| ferred until the city engineer could
| take up the matter with Fire Chief
Miller and Mr., Dill. He will report
at the next meeting.
Would Lay Main.
| In case the proposed main is laid,
[ according 10 LII, Tic "dlGl Gull
pany may start construction OF con-
Meeting main, to hook up Ratliff,
/ Hunt and Boyer streets. This work
would employ about so men for sew
eral weeks. The widening of School
street also was brought up at the
| meeting Thursday morning. It is
possible that this matter will be taken
up at once in order to furnish employ
ment to more men.
| School street connects with the
| Hagerstown road. 1t runs east and
west at the extreme north side of
| town.
The regular bills for the past month
| were allowed at the meeting. The
matter of establishing rest room in
| cooperation with a local bank was
taken up by the board. Consulate II
with the bank developed the fact that
u there was little chance of such a rest
room being established. The board
| will report to the council.
I Several petitions for street i'm
! provements and matters in regard to
cleaning streets, as referred to the
board at the last council meeting
were referred to the proper authori-
ties for action.

SHOOTS TAX
PLAN IS CRITICIZED
BY SENATOR LENR00T
(By Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE Smoot
manufacturers sales tax plan drew
fire today from Senator Lenroot, Re-
publican, Wisconsin, who told the
senate it utterly ignored the rules that
taxes should be imposed, according TO
ability to pay and that it would be
impossible of administration because
of the difficulty in determining who
should pay the tax.
Where the three per cent tax pro-
posed could not be passed on to the
consumer. Senator Lenroot said it
would add to the already heavy burd-
ems of manufacturers now operating
without profit to give employment to
labor and that if it could be shifted to-
the consumer it would be subject TO
the same criticism as is the excess
profits tax in that each dealer handling
the goods would charge the ultimate
consumer a commission for collecting
the tax.
The Wisconsin senator gave several
illustrations to support his argument
that such a tax could not be admin
istered and would result in chaos in
the treasury department
Cites Example
ut is to be observed he said that
the tax is to be imposed upon every
commodity manufactured or produced
