Mays Landing News Items
AovERTisEs The TOWN

Although the new road signs
have not yet arrived, they have
already advertised Mays Landing
a lot by the newspaper stories that
have appeared in Camden, Phila-
delphia, Atlantic City and all New
Jersey towns telling of the slogan
and the wording that is to be put
on the signs.
Every activity of public nature
in smaller community that can
get in the metropolitan news
papers advertises> the town, and
the more alive we can make Mays
Landing appear by our public ac-
tivities the more favorable atten-
ton we are going to attract.
The surest way to get new peo-
pie here and make the town grow
and prosper is to create desire
in the minds of those people to
come here by making them see
that Mays Landing is worthwhile
place to live.

WILL BE USED HERE.

Because the clothing and other
articles gathered by the Ladies
Auxiliary of the American Legion
for the benefit of the Mississippi
flood sufferers was ready too late
for the last quota sent there, it
has been decided to turn the goods
over to the local Red Cross nurse
who will distribute them to needy
people iii this vicinity.
1t is said that there are many
such things needed and that Mrs.
Pepperman can find very good use
for everything that the Auxiliary
collected.
The ladies desire to again ex-
press their thanks to the public for
the donations and declare that ev-
erything will go for as good pur-
pose through the hands OF the Red
Cross nurse as il they had gone to
the flood area.

WANT RECORDS HERE.

There is a movement on foot to
have several books of records COW
ering Atlantic County property cop
led in the Gloucester County Clerks
office and brought here for perma-
nent filing. When Atlantic County
was carved out of Gloucester in
1887, the records were retained by
Gloucester and many of the original
deeds to local property repose in
the Woodbury. office.
1t is said that the cost of having
certified copies of these records
made and brought here would not
be prohibitive and that it would
save the public a lot of trouble in
looking UP these old instruments.

ZONING OF APPROACH
TO BRIDGE IS URGED
Slaughterhouse and Other Indus
trial Enterprises to Be Nearby
Unless Action Is Taken.

While officials of the National Capt.
tai Park and Planning Commission
would regret to see the construction
of an abattoir in the area in the vi
entity of the Virginia approach to the
Arlington National Bridge, now being
erected, nevertheless it is believed
that such Industrial development may
be expected until q coming law is
passed to govern this section Of Ar
lington County.
A preliminary permit to erect the
slaughterhouse has been issued by
the county revenue commissioner, but
the formal sanction of the Board Of
Supervisors must be obtained before
work may be started. The proposed
site is on the Columbia pike, near the
River road to Alexandria.
The officials pointed out that this
territory already has settled into an
industrial zone, with brick, gas, oil,
coal plants and other factories already
in operation. The slaughterhouse
would be particularly offensive, it is
realized, because a favorable wind
would watt the odors to Columbia Is
land Park and to the Highway Bridge
and the Mount Vernon boulevard.
1t was also pointed out that of
ficials have consistently stated to the
Arlington County Planning Commits
sion that one of the first things need.

oping this section in conformity with
the plans of the Capital City is Zon-

prompt action is taken it will be too
late.

VALUATION CHANGE
CALLED ILLEGAL
Defense in Tax Suit Against
Former Ford Investors
Produces Record.


DETROIT, January IL. - Contend
ing that the Government in 1919 set
an appraisal value of $3.50, 100000 on
the total Ford Motor Co. stock, or
$9,4S9.34 share, and cannot now leg
ally change the valuation, defense
attorneys in the tax suit against for
mer Ford stockholders today had
ready for the record documentary evi-
dence bearing on the transactions
which led to the valuation.
The whole matter, according to
statement by Attorney Joseph II.
Davies of the defense, is to get into
the record the number of times the
internal revenue department recog
nized the valuation of $3.50, 900 set
by Daniel G. Roper, then commission
er. 1t occurs in the different histories
of the transactions So times, he said
This figure was set before the sale
of the stock to Henry Ford in 1919
and, had it not been agreeable to the
stockholders, the sale would not have
gone through, the defense attorneys
declared. In support of their claim
they prepared for evidence a portion
Of the history of the tax transactions
of the Dodge brothers. Horace II. and
John f.
Prior to the sale of the stock 10
OA0F SAOCOI W LIlS tIC
Michigan Supreme Court ordered the
division of 100000 between the
minority stock holders. The Dodge
share was $963,973, but of this amount
the Government collected $533 ,634.39
as its share. The amount was paid
under protest, the Government in q
special hearing affirming the correct
ness of the accounting and the legality
of the action.
With this lesson fresh in their
minds, the stockholders refused to sell
to Ford in 1919, the document declar.
ed, until assured of the value the
Government intended to place on the
stock for taxation. This objection, 1t
was stated, brought about the apprais-
al OF Commissioner Roper and the
subsequent fixing of the $3.50. 900, 900
valuation, which the shareholders are
now attempting to uphold.

be completed and the $14,000,000
should be expended it would have
been expended in such proportion as
between the Federal and District
Treasures as Congress thought equit-
able. Under that language this House
has the right and authority to decide
that this item shall be entirely at
Federal expense, this item entirely at
District expense, and this item shall
be shared by them.
There are portions of that program
which are peculiarly proper charges
against the District. such as those
boulevards, while the memorial and
monumental character of the bridge
is peculiarly Federal. Under that con-
struction Of the language 1t is entirely
within the authority of the House to
determine tehse questions as they
come before the House."
While this appropriation bill was
under discussion Representative
Blanton attacked an editorial in the
Washington Post which criticized
Representative Cramton. Mr.. Blanton
depressed into discussion of Edward
b. McLean's real estate taxes, which
he claimed had been greatly increased
