CAREY TELLS CHAMBER COUNTY
NOT 50 HARD HIT FINANCIALLY

to bring this figure even higher.
AT the beginning of the year 1885,
1896 we will add to our rolls" the
auditor pointed out, about 25 per
cent in new valuation, due to the
fact that the public utilities prop
erty will then become taxable un-
der a law recently passed. This
should add over $10,000,00O to the
present assessed valuation of $37,-
577,907 in the county. While this tax
income will help the county, as has
the Riley-Stewart plan, some fur
ther system must be evolved where
by the tax burden now on real es-
tate will be relieved"
F.. A. Willard and K. c. Burke of
HoltVille were visitors at the lun-
cheon and, following Gareys talk,
Willard spoke briefly on the sub
ject of syncrotax as a means of re-
lieVing real estate taxes.
w. H. Tyler, Jr., president of the
chamber, urged attendance at the
associated chambers meeting in Nj
land next Friday night and an
nounced that the board of directors
of the local chamber will meet in
executive session tonight at 7:30 o.
clock. There will be no luncheon of
the chamber on next Wednesday,
due TO the fact that it is Memorial
Day.

TRUCK STRIKE
ORDERED OFF

MINNEAPOLIS, May %. U.P) -
The twin city regional labor board
today ordered the truck drivers
strike ended.
Executive committees of the la
Dor unions and employers met to
vote acceptance of the agreement
reached last night by the board.
The terms of the agreement
bind each employer TO adhere to
and be bound by all the require
mentS of section IA" of the MIRA.
If the employees of any firm shall
select representatives of the drivers
and Helpers union to bargain for
them, the employers are bound
to deal with representatives so Sc
lected.
The peace terms also command
that the strike be called off immed-
lately.
The order came after violence
during the. past week had resulted
in one death anc more than 100 in
jured.
The labor boards terms were viewed
as victory for the strikers inasmuch
as they won the right of written
recognition from employers. This
point was the chief issue in the
strike.

OFFER BROAD
WATER POLICY

WASHINGTON, May 90. U.P) =
President Roosevelt will lay out a
broad policy on water use, covering
rivers and harbors, flood control,
soil erosion and reforestation, in
special message to congress later, he
said today.
The message will be one of three
scheduled to be transmitted be-
tween now and adjournment. The
other two will be on war debts and
suggestion for reduction of the tax
on cccoanut oil.
The war debt message will not be
sent to congress today, the Presi-
dent Indicated It was believed to be
in rough draft.
Mr.. Roosevelt said emphatically
that he was not contemplating a
message on social legislation.
The President explained that on
the message dealing with water use
which also will embrace flood con-
troll projects under public works,
congress asked for a report outlin-
ing a general governmental policy.
He said, however, that the COM
munication would not relate to spe-
cific projects.
The st. Lawrence development,
Mississippi flood control and all
other major projects of like ma
ture will be included in the broad
policy.

Accuses Bride
OF Misconduct

NEW YORK, May %. U.P)-
Clenendin j. Ryan, scion of one Of
America IS wealthiest families, TO-
day accused his dark haired Vien-
nese bride of misconduct and of
conspiracy to seize portion of the
famous Ryan fortune. He sought
annulment of their marriage
The basis for his separation
from the Countess Marie-Anne
-Stuppach OF Austria
was revealed for the first time
when his action was filed in New
York supreme court.
Ryan, the grandson of Thomas
Fortune Ryan, is employed at a
comparatively small salary as sec
retary to Mayor LaGuardia. He
was married to the countess Febru-
airy 20 after a whirlwind courtship.
His charges set out that "de-
fendant entered into conspiracy
with other persons TO persuade

In a talk given before the FL
Centro Chamber of Commerce to-
day w. D. Carey, county auditor.
stated that at the present time the
county of Imperial is not running
behind financially with the excep-
ton of its bonds. County highway
improvement bonds are estimated
to be delinquent to the amount of
about $4,000 in principal and prac-
tically all Of the interest. The
school district bonds issues are not
in bad condition and the county
highway improvement bonds par
ticularly Road District No. 9, the
Mt. Signal-Bond IS Corner road, are
the only cause of worry. However,
Carey stated, every district in the
United States is delinquent and the
supervisors are now working on
plan as it seems impossible to care
for these bonds under the present
set up.
At the beginning of the present
fiscal year, the speaker stated. the
supervisors checked and found the
delinquency in county taxes for
the preceding five years to be
81 l,668,932.55. 1t was believed that
much of this would be collected
under the 10-year redemption plan
but only about 25 or 80 per cent
of the taxes on land which went
delinquent last year alone was COL
lected under this plan, due to the
fact that the first payment could
not be made in many cases be-
cause of the interest included. 1t
is believed, however, that some
modification of this plan may be
worked out at the next session Of
the state legislature to reduce in
terest payments.
The county supervisors reduced
taxes from S1,907,0O0 in 1882 to
S803,000 in 1888. The Riley-Stewart
sales tax plan actually saved the
county about 100000 and the ad-
ditional saving was due to cuts in ox-
penditures made by the board of su-
pervisors, Carey stated. Collections
so far this year have been almost 70
per cent of the total and it is ex-
pected before the fiscal year ends
