Surface Treatment
To Rid Dust from
Gardiner Streets

Mayor D. s. McNaughton has COM
pleted arrangements whereby citi-
zens Of Gardiner will be enabled to
get rid of the dust nuisance on the
streets Of the city. There are two
different methods by which this may
be done. by the application of eth
err Oil or calcium cloride, the city
will put the street in the proper con-
dition, and will bar one half Of the
cost of the surface treatment, the
total cost of the oil to be 16c a lin
ear foot, while that of the calcium
cloride will be &c linear foot. The
total cost is shared so per cent by
the city of Gardiner. and 80 per cent
by the AUDITORS, the cost of the abut-
tors, therefore will be Sc linear
foot. and &c a linear foot for the
calcium cloride.
The work will be under the ex-
pert supervision of Street Commits
sioner b. F. Jose, and he has been
working for some time procuring es-
Inmates on the amount of work to be
done. and the cost, and as a result

in localities where they desire to
have either of these treatments
should notify the Street Commits

On Move to Compel
Resignation President

Paris, May 26.--The agitation 20
compel President Millerand to resign
is dealt with today in an editorial in
the semi-official Temps. which says It
hitherto has refrained from comment
Ing on the subject thinking the agita-
ton was the outcome OF "unbolanced
Joy" due to the unexpected success OF
the opposition in the elections.
Noting that certain sections Of the
new majority declare that the results
OF the voting on May IL necessarily in
volve presidential crisis, the Temps
declares the agitation to be a purely
political move against the man who
personifies principles which the 'revo.
lutionary and internationalist spirit"
that animates these sections cannot en-
dure. The editorial article maintains
that President Millerand has never In
fringed the constitution in letter or
spirit, whereas his enemies would deal
the constitution an irreparable blow
IL the elections to the chamber should
be held to have annuelled the choice
Of the national assembly, comprising
both the chamber and the senate.

Secretary Hughes, who had OPP

holding that exclusion should be ac-

just before the bill was approved.
He said later he had nothing to add

mendations.
The bill provides for a 20 percent
reduction on income taxes payaple
this year: permanent revision down
ward of the income. miscellaneous
and excise taxes: additional reduc-
lions after this year of 70 percen.
on earned incomes Of $1O,OOO ana

administrative provisions, most OF
which were proposed by the treas-
ury.
Although carrying the Democrat

income rates, the bill was acclaimed
today by leaders of both parties in
the house as was done also in the
senate, as flair and just"
Chairman Green of the ways and

600 more than proposed in the Mel
Ion plan. Mr.. Green added.
Several Mellon plan advocates
from the Republican side assailed
the measure on account Of its provi-
sion for limited publicity, which
would permit the publication of the
amount Of tax paid by each tax pay
err and open the hearings of the pro-
posed board of tax appeals to the
public. y
Although only nine Republicans
actually voted against the confer
ence report, there were indications
that probably many more would vote
to sustain any veto on account of the
publicity provisions. Only six SEN
ators voted against the report and
some of those announced they would
vote to override a presidential veto.

three months ago by a vote Of 40S to
