Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 5.-Trading on the
Curb Market today was in small volume,
with the general trend of prices ranging
higher.
AS in the case of the big board. there
were opening gains in many issues that
have been refugees for the shorts, among
them the high-priced Aluminium Cor
poration, American Superpower, Elec-
trio Bond g. Share, Cities Service and
Vacuum Oil Vacuum was the most
active issue of the whole list, with the
price down fractionally after an all
morning battle between bulls and bears
in advance of the meeting of directors
for dividend action.
The influence of the early weakness
in Vacuum Oil was felt by other oil
issues. Imperial Oil of Canada was
steady while Standard Oil of Kentucky
dropped a shade. Standard of Indiana
was a little higher and so was Cities
Service. Gulf Oil of Pennsylvania was
nearly point higher at 5314.
There was little in the news OF con-
structive nature that might have az
1eCUeQ IIle llSJ. FTOUdDly bLlS
made the best showing though trading
was at a slow pace. Electric Bond d
Share ranged higher at the start, but
later it was unchanged at Asa,
American Superpower retained a
small net gain after early strength.
Gains were the rule in American g.
Foreign Power warrants, Brazilian
Traction, Central States Electric. Mid
die west Utilities and United Light and
Power A.
Deere g. Co., American Cyanamid B
and q few other industrials were firm,
while. Glen Alden Coal, Hiram walker
and st. Regis Pepper were dull. A. o.
Smith was Of slightly ct 1864. In the
amusement group Fox Theaters rose
small fraction to 3l4, while General
Theaters Equipment preferred was
lower. The only mine stock to show
any sign of activity was Hudson Bay
Mining g. Smelling, which sold I'M
changed at Az. Railroad shares were
similarly quiet. Pennroad Corporation,
at SIS, was fractionally lower.
Aviation shares were about I'M
changed. General Aviation was firm at
e94. Pan-American Always was frac-
tionally on at 24%
The shares Of trading corporations
were mostly firm, though Shenandoah
dropped fractionaIly to SA. Goldman
Sachs was steady. Blue Ridge advanced
a shade to AZ. United Gas was up a
small fraction, but other gas company
issues and pipe line issues were dull.

 At another point, some 50 feet above the water level, jackhammer men are working in man made groove about 200 feet long, chipping their way along the face of the cliff, cutting out a right of way for the railroad trains which will carry debris from the dam site.
 Work Day And Night
 At this outpost of the project the crew works day and night. At still another section, road crews are fighting their way along the rock walls, digging out highway to connect Boulder City and the dam site.
 Between the floor of the niche and ceiling heavy bar is clamped in vertical position On this there are two arm shaped bars, sturdily built, which support the heavy jackhammers.
 When the holes are completed, powder is placed and the explosion which follows rips out huge sections of rock. All equipment must be car ried out prior to the blast and then moved back afterward.
 In few instances in railroad con struction have there been so many perils and difficulties to be over come.

boosting tax rates. especially on real property, prompted thousands of protests in the form of appeals from valuations. Thus, millions of dollars in unpaid taxes are choked in litigation, Forty-five per cent of the 1929 taxes and 20 per cent of the 1928 taxes still remain un- collected.
 To obtain funds the city was forced to seek credit, using these overdue and unpaid taxes as a basis for collateral It issued the so-called tax anticipating warrants which at first were accepted by Chicago bankers. But the situation grew more crucial and complicated when local financiers subsequently, refused to accept the warrants un- til the muddle was cleared up. City officials were thus forced to re- quest the aid of bankers outside Chicago's boundaries.
 Heavy Interest Paid
 Thus far the outstanding war rants issued against tax levies for the past four years aggregates $173,786, ,27721. This type of credit is costing the city some $24,000 daily in interest charges. Uncollected taxes over the four year period amount to nearly half billion dollars.
 In his unsuccessful personal plea

before the state legislature recently, Mayor Cermak said:
 Prompt action must be taken. If we do not get this legislation, Chicago will have to cease half it's functions. We will have to close"
 A dismal attitude toward the entire situation was reflected in the words of Hayden N. Bell, at torney for the Cook county board who said "Our present policy will lead us from government by tax anticipation notes to govern ment by the marines or state inili- tia. The need for reorganization of our multiple taxing agencies is fundamental"
