IRISH FREE STATE TO
 REVOKE TAX ON AUTOS
 SHIPPED FROM AMERICA

Dublin. Dec. 22-F7ree State govern ment intends at the first opportunity to revoke the tax upon automo obiles imported from America. For the protection of British manufa cturers the British government imposed a heavy tax upon cars arrivig in Grea [ Britain and Ireland. Ireland under the old regime had to pay the tax, and. of course, in several instances English manufa Cturers were able to underseu the American car. Ireland has no interest in autom obile manu- facturing. There isn't a factory III the country. The revoking of the tax is expected to be boon to Americans, as nowadays most travel ing in Ireland is done by auto. Nearly all the railroads are out of commits mission owing to destruction wrought by the Republicans.

Z sew Bridge Company for sheet as
phalt road, as the figures for this
material were about S1400 lower
than for warrenite. A New Bruns-
/ wick concern bid SS5 lower on sheet
asphalt than the East Jersey Bridge
Company, but the aldermen were in
favor of giving the job to local
concern.

ever. Rev. Joseph Urban of st.
stephens Polish Catholic church,
which owns a large tract along
Buckingham avenue, spoke in favoc
of warrenite as did Colby Dill, repre-
santing the Roessler q Hasslachey
Chemical Company. Other property
owners favored warrenite. The. al
dermen then decided to obey the will
of these people and awarded the
contract for warrenite instead OF
sheet asphalt.

aldermen authorizing removal of the
switch board from the city clerk S
! office to the Office of the mayors Sec

publicans voted against article one.
Senator Robinson then offered and
the senate rejected, an amendment
to article two pledging the signator-
les against aggression against any
outside powers and allowing outside
powers to sit in conference on mat
