American Chamber of Com

BY Associated Press to Every Evening
London, oct. Incorporation to
clauses Of the Fordney tariff bin pro-
viding for American valuation OF i'm
ports was announced by the American
Chamber Of Commerce here today.
after careful consideration Of the mea-
sure.
The chamber claims the clauses
must handicap and prevent the free
exchange of goods. II contends it
would be difficult for American i'm
porters to ascertain the complete cost
OF their foreign purchases until re-
eeived in the United States. and also
that it would be difficult for foreign
shippers to make quotations.
Suggestions that a fiat incresse
duty would be preferable to the vslua-
ton clauses are put forward by the
chamber, which says IL feels the
United States should foster and en-
courage the flow Of goods between f.

ular interest was shown In the report
Of the Home Service Bureau. which
shows the steadily increasing work
OF the Red Cross in connection with

The number OF these men needing

CONFUSION EXISTS
OVER CITY TAXES
Many Under Impression Notices
Sent Out Refer to State
Licenses.

Although practically all OF the city
offices We're closed today because OF
the holiday, Homer c. Simmons.
clerk OF City Council, was on hand for
the accommodation OF any who might
appear to pay their city business IL
censes which are due this month. He
was kept busy for sometime during
the morning issuing a large number
OF these licenses.
Many of the notices he has sent out
In the name of firms which have not
made payment as yet are being re-
turned and investigation has shown
that these firms have gone out OF bust
ness since last year. Much difficulty
is also experienced as result OF an
impression many have gained that the
notices that their licenses are due re-
fers to the State license they have TO
pay. Mr.. Simmons is kept busy ex-
planning that there are two separate
and distinct taxes on business. one
a state tax and the other city tax.
His warning recently issued that
all delinquents would be given ten
days in which to pay up after which
outstanding bills would be turned over
TO the city solicitor for collection has
brought about 200 payments There
are still many outstanding against
whom proceedings will be started ~

BAKERS PARADE.
Route Announced For the Procession
Tomorrow.

Route of the parade which will be
held tomorrow by the baking firms OF
the city as a feature of Wilmington
Bread Week was announced today.
The procession which will comprise
more than 100 motor and horse drawn
vehicles lead by band under ]. Nor
ris Robinson will form on Walnut
street north Of Tenth at o'clock. At
2.S0 o'clock ii will move over the fol-
lowing route:
~West on Tenth street to French
thence south on French street 10
Front. thence TO Market and back TO
Tenth. There the procession will turn
west 10 Delaware avenue, to Penn
sylvania avenue and disband.
Although short, the route has been
chosen with an idea of giving the
greater mass Of the population of the
city best opportunity to view the pro
cession. Bread souvenirs will be dis
tributed throughout the route.
No spectacular features are plan
ned, as the bakers have intended that
the demonstrations of Bread Week
should be OF an educational rather
than display nature. Their aim has
been TO let Wilmingtonians know the
merits of their own city baking es-
tablishments and thus, by building UP
nome trade, provide means oC giving
employment 70 a greater number OF
Wilmington workmen.
