FORDS PAVING
] ACTION TAKEN
Conference Held at Which
Time Belgium Block Paw
ing is Ordered

The Board of Freeholders of Mid
dlesex county met with William
X. Hoy, of Fords, and Morgan
f. Larson, city engineer of Perth
Amboy. yesterday at Fords to consid-
er ways and means of paving be-
tween the tracks of the Public Ser
vice Railway Company, from Fords
to Rogan's corner. The track be-
tween these two points. although be-
ing moved to the center of the street,
has never been paved, due to the
fact that the Public Service Com
pany maintained that they did not
nave the money to do the work.
At yesterdays meeting it was de-
cided to pave the tracks at once
with Belgium blocks. the paving to
be covered with cement the same rs
is being done by the company in the
city of Perth Amboy. The cost OF
doing the work will be met by the
board of freeholders and Wood
bridge township, and some scheme
agreed upon whereby the Public Ser
vice will refund the money thus
spent. The work of paving between
the tracks will begin not later than
next Wednesday. 1t Is estimated
that 1t will take at least two weeks
or ten days to complete the work.
The main highway at this point is
we'll paved but is so narrow hat 1t
is with great difficulty that automo-
biles pass each other. With the
pavement placed between the tracks
the entire road may be used for au-
tomobile traffic when cars are not
using thin section of track and this
will greatly aid traffic in passing
through this section.

NEW DELAY ON
TAX REVISION
Other Legislation May Cause
House to Put Matter
to One Side

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12-Further
delay in the revision of the tax law
was looked for today by reason or a
conference between the senate n
nance committee and members OF
the House ways and means commit
tee regarding the Fordney tarlfr
measure. Work on the tax bill was
interrupted yesterday by considera-
ton of other legislation by the House
but some members expected that the
bill would be completed tomorrow
night as was hoped. Many changes
remain to be decided upon.
Representative Bacharach, of New
Jersey, plans to renew his effort to
reduce the income taxes paid by
single and married men whose an
nual income is $4,000 or less. He
said he preferred that the rate
should be reduced on such incomes
from 4 to 3 per cent. The commit
tee already has agreed tentatively to
increase the exemption to heads of
families having dependents by 5000
for each dependent.
Administrative features of the new
bill understood to have been agreed
upon include a provision designed
to simplify the roces of settlement
of back tax claims. The time of
settlement would be limited to three
years instead of five except that adj
ditional time might be granted by
the secretary of the treasury.
Agreement also was said to have
been reached to give the secretary
authority to call in representatives
of taxpayers in order to simplify the
present tax return forms. 1t was
said that committee members felt
that If these had the advice of tax
payers familiar with the subject the
forms could be improved.
The committee has yet to act on
the proposal to submit a graduated
manufacturers tax on candy accord
ing to costs in place of the recent fiat
tax of 5 per cent. This matter is
now before a Suh-cOm mittee-
