James J. Harmon or Elkhart. an
nOunced at the conclusion of argu-
ment that he would return at that
hour with the courts decision This
morning the city will know whether
it is TO have primary election next
Tuesday.
Argument on the case which has
now attracted attention in all parts
Of Indiana because both the con
stitutionality of the law itself is
attacked and likewise the regularity
of the procedure under which il
was ordered for South Bend, began
at 10 o'clock Friday morning and
with the exception of an abbreviated
recess at noon lasted until after 4
i'm the afternoon.
That the certificate itself is the
sole polar star to guide the court
was the concluding statement made
by c. p. Drummond. counsel for
Mr.. Hosinski, adding that even Mr..
Parker. the defense counsel was
willing to make that admission"
Attacks BlIinslSi
The certihcation made by Frank
Bilinski. city clerk. on the petition
for a referendum on the commits
sion manager plan OF government
was the basis for attack and de-
fense from each of the lawyers.
Samuel Parker. turning toward the
city clerk who was sitting inside the
bar rail. said he wondered why
Mr.. Bilinski didn't ask the advice
of the city attorney when he pre-
pared the certificate and then we
would have been spared all this
litigation" Further Mr. parker
said "the rest OF II may be treated
as surplus. mere verbiage, and as
excuses and explanations and es-
pecially that part referring TO
whether or not he knew what con
stituted 20 percent of the people
voting at the last election.
Mr.. Drummond answering this
contention said he had no fault TO
find with Mr. Bilinski. He is a
young man Of foreign parentage and
am proud of the record he has
made He made an honest certifi-
cate which he might not have made
had he permitted some people TO do

France and Belgium were under

British Income Tax Recovery

70 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: AS result of prolonged neeo-
tiations with the inland revenue. all
persons. receiving income through a
British trust are entitled to recovery
OF tax in exactly the same way as if
no trust existed.
The position of residents abroad in
relation to British income tax is, there.
fore, as follows:
(l) All British subjects can recover
the whole or part of any income tax
deducted from their dividends, annui
Ties, rents, etc, for 1920-'21 and in
future, the exact amount depending
upon their total income.
W All crown servants, serving or
retired, or their widows, missionaries s
and persons resident abroad for the
sake of health can claim as above for
three years back.
(o) Every person abroad, British sub
Ject or not, can recover the whole of
the tax deducted from British war
loans or Exchequer bonds and foreign
and colonial securities for three years
back, whether held in trust or not.

Merits of Asphalt
Advantage Lies in Durability, Econ
omy and Ease of Repair

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: There are many sides to the
road question, and it is only fair that
all sides be heard.
Personally l prefer the cushioned,
dustless, resilient and longer-wearing
surfaces for highways. Concrete has
its uses, but when applied to highways
l do not believe it is as satisfactory
a the bituminous types, because of it's
tendency to develop transverse and
longitudinal cracks md often to break
along the edges. The weight of the
engineering practice is on the side of
asphalt, as contrasted with unsurfaced
concrete, when it comes to durability,
economy and ease of repair.
In the large cities asphalt pavements
take precedence over every other type
New York has / 400 miles Of the as
phaltic types. Most of it is sheet
asphalt. Chicago has 1900 miles of
asphalt and Washington about 200
miles. Fifth Avenue, New York; Michi-
gan Boulevard, Chicago; Pennsylvania
Avenue, Washington, and Broad Street,
Philadelphia - the four most heavily
travelled streets in this country - are
paved with asphalt.
A census of city paving made recent
ly showed that Portland cement yard
age is less than per cent of the total
yardage of paved streets, while the
asphaltic types total 40 per cent, or
nearly fourteen times as much.
The average age of concrete roads
now in use does not exceed FIVE years,
and few individual concrete roads are
over ten years old. The assured life of
an asphalt pavement, on the other
hand, is twenty-five years. Main Ave
nue., Passaic, was paved with asphalt
eighteen years ago and has required
very little repair.
AS to the maintenance cost, city en-
gineers generally consider that the
@neeI aspHalC pavement requires no
maintenance during it's early life for
at least five years. In Washington,
D. c., the average cost Of maintenance
for the asphalt streets during the war
period, in spite Of the high cost of
labor and materials and the Interrupt
tion, to transportation, averaged only
S.O17 to the square yard a year, and
this under intensive traffic conditions.
Engineering conviction and public
opinion as to the desirablity, practica-
bllity and superiority of asphalt paving
prevail in every large city.
C. S. LEE.
Passaic, N. j., June II, 1921.
