RAILROADS LEAD POVERTY.
Probably WEI Not BE Required to Elm
mate Grade Crossings.

MONTPELIER, July 21.-The pub
lie service commission conducted hear
ing at the state house yesterday after
noon relative to the elimination of grade
crossings. Officials of all the railroads,
excepting those in the northeastern part
of the state, were represented, present
ing evidence tending TO show that their
finances would not permit the expendi-
ture of their money at this time.
The commission has not made a de-
eision upon the matter, but there is a
general feeling that with conditions as
they are they are unlikely to order the
elimination of crossings. However, it is
likely that dangerous conditions near
Gassetts and in st. Adams viii be re-
moved by changes of the highways.

COMMON LABoRERs SCARCE.
Road Work i'm Connecticut Delayed b!
Shortage of Help.

NEW HAVEN Conn, July 2I-Some
facts out of an industrial survey of the
state being made, indicate that common
labor is becoming so scarce that many
large projects may be greatly DELAYED.
The state highway department has al
ready felt this scarcity and contractors
in several cities have been searching for
laborers. Cities in other states have
been combed for common labor, and the
wage offered has been without any APP
preciable effect.
Contractors for a new state highway,
which will open up the upper Housa-

STATE TAXLAW
IS ISINTERPRETED
Attorney General Explains
Who Is Subject to Legis-
lative Act
RESIDENTS SINCE
1921 INCLUDED

In an opinion received by NJ.
Howard Jester. State Tax Commits
sioner today. Attorney-General
Townsend. Jr. holds that any person
who was n resident Of the State on
or after July 1. 1921. is taxable under
the Act to Provide Revenue for
School Purposes" that such person
is taxable only on the income de-
rived by him while resident Of the
state. and that the exemptions Of
$1,000 for an unmarried person and
$4,000 for the head OF a family
should not be allowed IN full. but
that the exemptions should bear the
same proportlonate relation 10 the
total exemptions allowed as the tax
able's period OF residence In this
state bears TO the whole year.
The opinion follows;
m. Howard Jester ESQ., STATE

"Dear Sir:-You have asked FOR

sons who lived In this State only a

seems to answer your question. TINS
section says in part;
The word taxable" means a
natural person twenty-one years OF
age or over. who Is a citizen or resi-
dent OF the State OF Delaware. or a
minor with net income OF one

i includes for the purpose of deter

by this Article, any person who shal
at any time during the last si'
months OF the calendar year be
resident OF the State;
my construction OF this languag
is that any person who was a resi-
dent OF this State on or after Jul
II. 1921. is taxable under said act.
am further OF opinion that such per
son Is taxable only on the incom
derived by him while he was a resi-
