Funds Scarce, Progress Slow As
 Liverpool Builds Two Mighty Cathedrals
By MILTON BRONNER NEA Service Staff Correspondent

Liverpool, Feb. 9-Liverpool is building simultaneously two of the most magnificent cathedrals on earth.
 One will be the great Roman Catholic cathedral of the north of England. The other will be the immense new Church of England cathedral. The Catholic cathe- dral is being built according to the plans of architect Sir Edward Lutyens, a Protestant. And the Anglican cathedral is being built according to the plans of Sir Gill bert Scott, Roman Catholic.
 Not since the 18th and 18th century has there been similar ac- tivity in the building of great monuments to Christianity.
 The estimated cost of the Cath olic cathedral when completed (perhaps not for 100 years, be- cause of financial difficulties) is about $15,O0OOOO. The great foundations and crypts are finish ed. The cathedral will be the largest in the world-its area four times that occupied by the fa- nous St. Paul's in London. Its to- tai length will be 670 feet Height to the top of the cross surmount- ing the dome will be 473 feet.
 More than 10000 people may attend Mass in sight of the High Altar, which will stand l2. feet above the floor. There will be A altars in all, so that wherever one stands, there will be an altar in direct line of vision. The dome of the church will be encased in stainless steel and a figure of Christ will surmount the facade. which will be illuminated at night so that it will be visible many miles out at sea.
 The Church of England cathe- dral was authorized by Par lament as long ago as 1885. St. James's Mount, high hill ill the city. was chosen for the site and the foundation stone was laid in 1904. By 1910 the Lady Chapel was completed and consecrated. Work was carried on intermit- tently even during the war and the church, as such, was conse- crated in 1924 in the presence of

Electric Production Hits New High According to
 Latest State Report

Production of electricity in Con- necticut during the year 1887 ex- ceeded all previous records. the total output of power plants in this State increasing by 9.7 percent above that produced in 1886, according to fig ures computed from the monthly reports on electrical productions compiled by the Federal Power Commission.
 Follows Living
 The generation of electricity which reflects the demand of the state for power and light, followed the upward swing of business which marked the earlier part of the year, reaching Its peak in August ana then declining month by month. Au- gust marked not only the high point of the year in Power genera ton, but established an all-tlme monthly record for Connecticut o1 163, ,485 900 kilowat hours. Up to the end of 1886, the record high for thls State was that of December ot that hours. Up to the end of 1856, the year, which was 145,083,0 900 kllo- watt hours. This latter mark was shattered in six different months of 1887, January, March .16O, July, August, September and November.
 Electricity generated at Connect1- cut power plants in each month or 1887 exceeded the total output of the corresponding month of 1886 right through the year until November and December when production dropped below 1886 figures as the effect of the recession was felt 1n the industrial demand for power and light. Residential use of cleo tricity, however, continued to new high points during the year, due to the widespread employment of do- nestle electrical appliances and to rate revisions which have saved Connecticut people $3,376,Oo0 in the five years 1882 to 1886.
 Public Utilities
 The total amount of electricity generated for public use in Con- necticut during the year just closed was 1,639, ,968,O kilowatt hours and to this is added 120,187, ,000 kilowatt hours produced by street and inter urban railways, electrified steam railroads and miscellaneous federal erated by the rail and other plants and state plants. Electricity gen. was segregated from the total for public use by the federal power commission for the first time last year. It was included in the figure of 1,6O4 623 ,O00 kilowatt hours re- ported by the commission as the states total for 1886.
 All figures included, the states electrical production was 13.1 per cent ahead of 1886 for the first six months of last year.
 Month by month figures in thous- ands GOOD kilowatt hours for 1886 and 1887 are as follows:

Your Income Tax
NO. If EXEMPTION ALLOWED STATE EMPLOYES

The compensation of officers and employees of a state or any politi- cal subdivision thereof, which is paid from public funds of the state or political subdivision, as distinguished from amounts col lected from individuals or private corporations, if the services of such officers or employees are ren- dered in connection with activi- ties which constitute the discharge of an essential governmental function, as distinguished from a proprietary function, is exempt from federal income tax. The compensation of such officers and employees is subject to federal in come tax if their services were rendered in connection with the exercise of a proprietary function. For example, the compensation of the governor of state, the mayor of a city, councilmen, board of al- dermen, public school teachers, firemen, and policemen is not sub feet to federal income tax. The compensation of such officers and employees whose services are con- nected with the liquidation by the state of insurance companies or banks, which is paid from funds of the companies being liquidated, is not exempt from federal in come tax. Compensation received by employees of a municipally- owned street railway or electric light plant is subject to federal income tax, as such activities are proprietary rather than govern mental ill character.
 Fees for special services to a state are taxable, as, for example, compensation paid architects and builders for planning and erect ing state capitol. An office or an employe of a state, for the purpose of the income-tax law, is one whose services are contin- uous and not occasional or tenn porary.

 The general style of the church is Gothic and the main building material is the warm rose-red standstone found near Liverpool. The distinguishing feature of the building is its tall centeral tower, which will not rest upon the in- tersection of choir nave and transept as in many facous cath edrals, but upon the outer walls.
 The central tower will be one of the tallest in the world - 331 feet high. The church will seat $500 people. The church is farther advanced than the Roman Cath olic Cathedral but even so, the authorities told this writer they could give no date as to ultimate completion. As with the Catho- lies, it all depends upon inflow of money

ELY SWIMMERS
Mermen Mark Up 1O8 Points
to 156 for Opponents in
Four Meets.

Coach Max Herseth's swimming team
has scored total of 1O8 points as COM
pared to 156 made by opponents in its
pref Christmas swimming meets, win
ming one, tieing another and losing
two.
Coach Madalynne Grevich and her
squad of girls lost their one December
meet by margin of IA points.
Competition for both teams will not
be resumed until Saturday, Jan. Z, when
the boys renew hostilities with Eveleth,
there, and the girls travel to Chisholm.
The mermaids will not be seen in action
here until the following Saturday when
they have a meet scheduled with Vir-
ginia The first home meet following
the holidays for the mermen is with
Gilbert, the third Saturday in January.
Douglas Nankervis, Jr, took first
place in the 1O0-yard breast stroke
against both Eveleth and Chisholm and
Ed Klun first in the 50-yard free style
against Virginia and in the 40-yard
event against Chisholm, leading Ely
swimmers in individual honors.
/ Captain William Carlson has been
an important factor in keeping the Ely
team in the running in all of its meets.
Carlson won the 100-yard free style
against Chisholm, took second in the
4O-yard free style against Eveleth, tied
for second in the same event against
Virginia, and captured second against
Chisholm. He also participated in the
free style relay in all four meets. Paul
Hendrickson, back stroker; Joe Atkins
who has competed in the back stroke
and free style events; Sheldon Brown
and Victor Markovich, free stylers, have
been important cogs in the Herseth-
coached machine.
Ely has taken first in but one of the
free style relays, that against Virginia
but was defeated in this event by both
Eveleth and Chisholm by inches. They
defeated Chisholm in the medley relay
for the only win in this event in the
four meets.
Coach Grevich's squad has partici-
pated in but one meet but made a very
creditable showing competing against
the state champion Virginia paddlers
The local mermaids took first in three
events, Mabel Lamp in the diving;
Agnes Aalar in the 5O-yard breast, anc
Wynetta Hill in the 50-yard free style
They showed surprising strength il
holding Virginia to a 5642 win.

yaysees Play Loose Ball,
Lose to Virginia, 81 to FL.

The Ely Junior College basketball
team lost to Virginia here, 81 to 81, in
game that was marked by the inability
of the Ely squad to find itself and per-
form as it is capable of working.
For only few minutes in the final
period did the local quintet click with
any outstanding success extensively,
with Milton Stenlund sinking one bas-
ket and william LouShin two in quick
order for six points and bringing the
score to 21-29 in favor of the visitors.
Ely rooters perched on the edges of
their seats and looked for rally that
might bring victory, but were dis
appointed.
Denfensively Coach Edward Buckley's
boys did a pretty good job holding
down the Greyhound sharpshooters, but
extensively during most of the game
they couldn't get the ball past their
ow nfre throw circle, losing it on bad
passes or to Virginia ballhawks.
Maybe it was the new suits they were
wearing for the first time or maybe it
was something else, but anyway the
Ely Jaysees just couldn't click.
Ely missed ten and made five free
throws, while Virginia made seven and
missed seven. The locals shot 80 times
from the floor as compared to SO for
the visitors.
The local junior high team whipped
the Virginia junior high boys, 17-16
with Martin Starkovich, center for Ely
sinking Is points.
