The Future

The Democratic administration having been brought to book, un- successfully, by the Pape-lican press for reducing taxes and car- rying out needed Improvements and developments in the public works field affords the same press another opportunity to screech when it becomes known what projects are in view for the future. The projects are listed below:--

Byrneside Avenue Poplar Place Sunnyside Avenue Chase Park & Ledgeside Avenue The East Main street project is part of the trunk sewer system which will take care of the Fair lawn section of the city. The Highland Avenue, Welland Ave- nue, Rockland Avenue. Nelson and Norton streets work will pro- vide Town Plot with sanitary system which it has never had and which is badly needed. The same is true of Aurora Street, Ray Street, and Marion Avenue in the Bunker Hill region. STORM WAT1it PROJECTS Aurora Street East Main Street Irvington Avenue Bridge Street

Committee Opens Session to
Whip Measure Into Shape
For Early Action e

A drive for action on the Presi-
dents tax program was formally
opened today by the House Ways
and Means Committee as con-
gressional tax experts were in con-
ference.
While the Democratic majority
has discussed taxes in two secret
meetings, Republican members
were called in for the first time
today.
The secret conferences Of the
Democratic majority on the COM
mittee brought out sharp differ
ences of opinion on the proposed
graduated corporation tax and the
rates of inheritance, gift and in
dividual income taxes.
Wide Range Of Opinion
One faction was reported to be
demanding tax bill that would
raise $50 million to 400 million
dollars a year. Another faction
favored a tax bill yielding around
200, million dollars year.
Demands for substitution Of an
excess profits tax for the gradu-
ated corporation income tax, and
for SITTER income tax rates on
smaller income taxpayers also dis
turbed the committee.
Chairman Doughton reiterated
that while President Roosevelt
wants a tax bill passed this ses-
sion, he would not object if Con-
gress postponed action unit! next
winter.
Guffey Bill Endangered
The announcement of Senator
Harrison CD, of Mississippi,
chairman of the Senate Finance
Committee, that the Senate will
stay in session until tax bill
is passed, spurred the House
group to more intense activity.
The decision to speed the tax
bill revealed that the Guffey, Sny-
der bill may be defeated in the
ways and means committee des-
pite the special letter of President
Roosevelt asking passage in the
face of Constitutional doubts.
