Contingent Fee For Tax Collecting

Something that is new. we believe, is reported
from Louisiana, where the law firm OF Long and San
dos is representing the State Tax Commission In the
collection of back taxes due the commonwealth.
The firm Is to receive one-third Of all back taxes
collected through having property placed on assess
ment rolls or through adjustments Of incorrect assess
ments.
AS usual in the case OF anything affecting Senator
Long there Is criticism and defense. The question for
other States Is whether a similar contract would
serve the public interest better than reliance upon
other officials, who are paid a salary to see that the
State gets what is due.
According to some, who call themselves fairmind-
ed, you have no religion whatever If you imagine II ts
within the realm Of possibility that others might have
religion although they don't believe what you believe.

DELEGATES MEET
Representative Kennedy Proposes
a Bay Bridge Plan

A meeting of the Maryland dele
cation in Washington met Tues
day afternoon of last week in Con-
gresham Goldsborough's office and
some very encouraging action was
taken on the Bay Bridge project.
Representative Kennedy said he
would report to Harold L. Ickes,
! Secretary of the Interior and PWA
Administrator, that private capital
had offered to invest S6,000,000 in
j bonds of the proposed Chesapeake
Bay Bridge. According to reports
reaching the Marylanders, the Wis
itors asked that the bonds carry
/ four per cent interest. Mr.. Ken
nedy also said the entire bridge
matter would be brought before
Secretary Ickes in an endeavor to
end the deadlock which has existed
since members of the State delega-
tion and representatives of the
Chesapeake Bay Authority confer
red with Mr. Ickes on July s. Fol-
lowing a two-hour conference Mr..
Kennedy said that as a result of
the meeting he and Representative
Cole would call on Mr. Ickes ito
see if definite plans cannot be con-
summated whereby this project can
be finally financed by the Govern
ment in some satisfactory man
ner." He also stated that at the re-
cent conference held with Mr.. Ickes
it was pointed out by the latter
that there was a strong possibility
of the Government advancing S4,-
100000 as a direct grant, provided
some arrangement could be made
whereby the balance of the cost
of construction could be provided
for THE question of financing
seems to be the only one remain
ing" Mr.. Kennedy said. Represen-
tative GoldSborough said after the
two-hour conference which met in
his office, that an agreement also
had been reached to urge work-re
lief officials to increase Maryland's
allotment from S24 100000 to S4O,-
100000 and take every person off
relief rolls in the State. Members
of the delegation expressed opti-
mism that the additional request
would be granted. Senator Rad
cliffe and John N. Mackall, State
works progress director met with
the House members and engaged
in the discussion of the State pro-
gram. Mr.. Mackall presented the
plan he has mapped out for work
relief in the State, which met with
the unanimous approval of the Con-
gressional representatives. Besides
Mr.: Kennedy the other Maryland
House members were Representa-
tives Goldsborough, Gambrill. Pal
misano and Lewis, Representative
Cole was confined to his home in
Towson with a heavy cold.

ALCOHOL USED
AS MOTOR FUEL.
Cuba, With Limited Petrol
cum Resources Turns
to Alcohol
FOR COOKING AND FUEL

Having small domestic petroleum
resources and faced with an in
creasing demand for motor and
household fuels, Cuba was one Of
the first countries to promote the
use of alcohol as a carburant in
motors and for cooking purposes in
homes, according to c. c. Concan-
non, Chief of the Commerce De
partment's Chemical Division. The
use of alcohol for these purposes, it
is pointed out, began to receive
serious attention following the
World War. Distilleries that had
worked night and day during the
war period to supply the demand
were faced with overproduction as
result of reduced overseas busi-
ness and new domestic outlets were
sought. 1t was found that alcohol
could be used in blended motor
fuels as we'll as for cooking, and
since that time considerable guam
titles have been used annually for
such purposes. Cuban alcohol is
produced almost entirely from mo-
lasses of which large quantities are
available as a by-product of the
sugar industry. In 1884 a total of
28 distilleries produced almost 3d.
Of oil
sugar-corn molasses, an amount al
most Identical with the preceding
year. An undetermined amount
was used by the distilleries in the
production of rum, etc., and 1,115,-
600 liters were exported. Sales to
local industries, particularly liquor
manufacturers and manufacturers
of pharmaceuticals and perfumes
totalled $4,000 liters while 23,-
100000 liters were used for motor
fuels and household cooking pur-
poses, it was stated. While the de-
mand for denatured alcohol as an
ingredient in mixed motor fuels is
increasing in Cuba the bulk of the
demand is still for household fuel
purposes. Of the 100000 liters
of denatured alcohol produced in
1884, more than 100000 liters
were used as household fuel and
the remainder for motor blends.
according to the Commerce Depart
ment. Legislation requiring the
use of alcohol blends in motors has
been introduced in Cuba from time
to time, but as yet none of the bills
have reached final passage, Mr..
Concannon stated.

CITES COUNTY BUILDING

Extreme congestion at the Della
ware State Hospital, due largely to
the fact that there are no funds
available to remodel for occupancy
the present idle building there,
formerly owned by New Castle
county, was reported by DR.. M. A.
Tarumianz, superintendent, to the
trustees at their annual meeting
Thursday. 1t was held at the
Summer cottage of DR.. and Mrs.
Tarumianz, Still Pond, Md. The
annual outing of the State Hos
pital staff and trustees followed
the meeting. There are now 1,015
patients at the Delaware State
Hospital crowded into space de-
signed to house only 780, DR.. Ia
rumianz reported. Not only is this
congestion a problem now, but next
year it is expected that the hospital
will be faced with the care of LOO
patients. DR.. Tarumianz reported
that superintendent and the trus-
tees out of their own funds are en-
deavoring to have some of the most
imperatively needed repairs made
so as to permit reception of more
patients next year. The appropri-
ations received by the institution
will adequately care for only 500
patients. it as said. The hospital
received $8,170.89 from pay pa
tients" during the past month, the
superintendent reported. After the
business meeting, DR.. and Mrs. Ia
rumianz entertained at luncheon
the party, which consisted of mem
bers of the board, their wives and
other guests. Following this the
guests were taken for a boat ride
on the 'Tech, Jr.," owned by Mr..
and Mrs. Frank v. DUPONT, to An
napolis, Md. The yacht was offer
ed DR.. Tarumianz by Mr.. and Mrs.
DUPONT for the entertainment of
their guests, as in former years.

and witnessed the accident. Mr..

and started back expecting to find
the Young man swimming about

he fell he struck his head on the

Cd before aid could reach him. In
a short time a number of boats put
out in an effort to recover the body.

about in a boat Coroner Stanley
Jeffers, of Cecil county, released
the body to the boys family and
it was sent to Philadelphia that
night. Death by drowning was
given as the cause of death. Can

NO CARNIVAL CHESTERTOWN
Fire Company Votes to Ban This
Method of Raising Funds

At its weekly meeting at Ches-
tertown, Md, members of the
Chestertown Volunteer Fire Com
pany voted almost unanimously to
dispense with holding a carnival
this year as a means of raising a
maintenance fund. The fact that
the Ladies' Auxiliary of the COM
pany have recently made a sub
stantial contribution for equipment,
and that the Board of County Com
missioners and the Mayor and City
Council have each donated the sum
of $500 for the purchase of equip
ment and maintenance, together
with a strong public sentiment
against holding carnivals in that
town, were the causes for the ac-
tion of the members.
