lis COLLISIONS RECORDED
Until present methods were adj
opted many difficulties were en-
countered in the work. One was
in trying to find a way to drill holes
in the rock at the bottom of the
river because Of the enormous
power of the tides. The East
River receives at one extremity the
Sound tide and at the other the
tide from off Sandy Hook. Before
this was finally accomplished. sew

only after a great many expert

very large and powerful and had
to be designed and built specially.
Due to the depth of water it was
necessary to use a drill steel 65

sary penetration.

Holes were drilled in the rock
at the bottom Of the harbor some
times to a depth'of twenty feet and
loaded to the top with the dyna-

into a hole. the drill boat was
moved away by means of anchor
chains and when at a safe distance
the shot was detonated. Three
holes were shot at a time and this
resulted in shattering as much as
500 square feet. Each hole was
spaced on ten foot centers. The
dredge used was of a type similar
to an enormous steam shovel such

ANNUAL REPORT
OF TAXES SHOW
GREAT INCREASE
Gain of 1876 Pct. Revealed
For Last Year In
So. Calf.

The annual report of Collector
of Internal Revenue Rex B. Good
cell, for the sixth district of Cali
fornia, comprising the ten south
ern counties, for the fiscal year
ending June 80 1924. discloses the
following facts which indicate in.
creased prosperity in Southern Cal
ifornia.
Total collections for the fiscal
period ending June 80, 1924, for
all classes of taxes, show enormous
increase over those made for the
same period ending June 80, 1923.
The collections for 1928 fiscal year
amounte dto $47,93S, 1885, while
those for 1924 Indicate marked in
crease with the staggering total of
$56,963,S ,S44.25, a gian of $9,025,
400.70, or 1876 per cent.
This increase proves the truth of
the indications pointed out by Col
lector Goodcell in the beginning of
this fiscal year, that it would de-
velop the greatest of Federal taxes
ever collected by the Los Angeles
office, and that it would take first
place as the "banner year. in the
history of the sixth district.
The collections for this fiscal
year exceed those made in 1921,
! which was heretofore the greatest
year of the Los Angeles office, and
during which year $56,443,4 3,431.63
was collected, contrasted with the
Icolleetions of the present year of
! $50, 1868, ,S44.25, a gain of over half
a million dollars, or $520,4159.62.
This increase has been made in
| the face of the fact that under re-
| cent provisions of the Internal Rev
enue act a % per cent reduction in
| tax on 1923 income was made, as Il
result of the revision of the tax
| rate on 1923 income pending at the
time of the filing of returns for
that year, large numbers of tax
payers have paid their tax for 1928
on the inStallment basis instead of
making full payments as hereto
fore
The increase of tax collections for
this year, over the collections for
1921, covering 1920 income, is also
made in spite of the lowered sur
tax rates for 1928 income and the
fact that the personal exemption for
married persons was $4,000 in 1920,
with but 5000 exemption for each
dependent, whereas the personal
exemption for married persons, for
net incomes of $4,000 or less, was
$4,000 in 1923, with $400 exemp-
ton for dependents.
