ghany list Wednesday. Another name.
was Charles D. Hilles, prominent In
New York Republican politics, 1000

sales to the public was prefaced with
an introduction saying 1t was a sum-
mary Of offerings since the World

statistics was from January l, 1919, to
date, or a period beginning a little
after the Armistice.

come taxes in England in 1881 and
1882 but not in the United States be-

planned England did not permit de-
auctions for capital losses which were
legal In this country and that he had
tried to observe the laws Of each
country.
