STATE POLICE
STATION MOVE
PWA Funds to Be Sought For
Building and For Newark
and Ashland Bridges
STATE BOARD ASKS PWA

The State Highway Commission
will ask the Public Works Admin
istration for grants for the con-
struction Of new state police sta
ton and Of two new bridges, ac-
cording to decision reached at
their meeting last week. The new
radoi transmitter, if the funds are
received, will be constructed at
Georgetown and will be similar to
the ones in use at Dover and State
Road. It would complete radio
coverage for the entire state. The
two bridges would replace the two
covered bridges, one at Ashland
and one on North Chapel Street,
Newark, which were damaged by
floods during the summer. It was
announced that "A. Kenneth Nor
gan of the Long Island Park Com
mission who had been authorized
by the commission to start a sur
vey of the state-oWned lands from
Rehoboth to Fenwick Island arriv-
ed in Delaware last week and
started his survey When it is
completed he will make recon-
mendations for the establishment
Of state park or for some other
state use of the lands. The com
mission received a request from the
Maryland State Roads Commission
for information concerning the
dual highway on the Glasgow Road
in order that plans for the propos-
ed dual highway from Perryville to
the state line may be completed.
The request of the state forestry
that a tract Of LAND in
Glendale Swamp be transferred
from the State Highway Depart
ment to the forestry department
was received but action was de-
ferred until a later meeting The
tract would be developed similar to
the Redden State Forest. The COM
authorized the repairing of |
the road from Camden to Wyoming
and of Wyoming Avenue in Dover. /

Vehicle Owners High Tax Bill

lVSiilslC oWhCIS lliSu IdA Dill
Delaware motor vehicle
owners are now paying the
highest automotive taxes of
any Eastern state, according
ito a statement issued today
by w. Purves Taylor, Secre-
tary of the Associated Petrol
cum Industries of Delaware.
Delaware motor vehicle own
ers are now paying a total of
S64.4S per year in various
automotive taxes" MT. Taylor
stated. "While this is a small
state, yet we top all other
states in the Eastern group in
our per capita motor tax bill.
The average motor vehicle
owner in Delaware now pays
$31.93 in state gasoline taxes,
$3.50 in federal gasoline tax
les, $3.50 in state registration
and miscellaneous fees and
federal excise taxes to the eX-
tent of $5.35. This represents
an intolerable load. Public
support for a legislative pro-
gram designed to give the mo-
tor vehicle owners of this
state needed relief is gaining
in momentum and this influ-
ence is being acknowledged by
legislators now holding Office
and by candidates for legisla-
tive offices.
"Plans for automotive tax
abatement now have the ac-
tive cooperation of dozens Of
organized groups Of highway
users in many fields and it is
believed 1889 will see a remov-
al Of 1-cent of the state gaso-
line tax and the repeal of the
federal 1-cent per gallon gaso-
line tax.
Delaware motor vehicle
owners will benefit in tax
saving Of well over a million
dollars a year if gasoline taxes
are reduced 2-cents and gener-
al business will, as a result, .
benefit substantially"

fast-rising market, bears frequently
learned, can be suicide. The Short
selling axiom has been to wait until
the crest Of buying wave has passed,
then wade in.
Market analysts thought they saw
indications the old violent swings in
a major bull movement, caused by fire.
quent "shake-outs" on the way up, had
given way to gentler and more sus-
tanned rhythm in the 1937-37 ad-
vance.
It was the first long bull swing un-
der s. E. c. eyes. The forward trend
was steady, plodding rather than spec
tacular. Analysts said this largely
was because the Federal Reserve ap-
piled brakes in form of increased mar
gin requirements, because the S. E. G.
outlawed pool manipulation and made
''insiders" shy Of operating in a gold
fish" bowl.

Institute Finds Operations
Up SO Points to 1928
Per Cent Level.
BY the Associated Press.


y NEW YORK, July 11.-Operations
in the steel industry for the current
week will advance SO points to 1928
per cent Of capacity, compared with
224 per cent last week, the Amer
lean Iron g. Steel Institute estimated
today. Operations were the highest
since the week of April 18, when the
rate was 324.
A month ago operations were at
the rate of 27.l per cent of capacity,
while year ago they were 1927 per
cent.
The rebound was said in trade
circles to have been substantially
greater than a normal seasonal re-
covery from the previous holiday
week. This was the result largely
of further clarifcation of the new
pricing policy instituted two weeks
ago by the industry, these observers
said.
There was a greater-than-season
slump in operations during the pre-
ceding week, because of the uncer-
tainty generated by the elimination of
the old price differentials between ma
jor producing areas.

NEW YORK. July 1.-THE Brit
ish pound sterling. in terms Of the
dollar, weakened sharply today, going
below $4.s3 to new low for more
than . year.
Foreign exchange circles ascribed
the decline to several reasons. There
were persistent reports that, in the
event a reciprocal trade agreement
was signed between Great Britain
and the United States, 1t would be
accompanied, by an understanding
that the pound sterling would be
placed on its old ratio Of between
$4.S6 and $487 to the dollar.
Traders called attention also to
the American export balance, now
running around $100. 900 900 q month.
Other factors for the decline Of ster-
ling were said to be the continued
flow Of funds to this country and the
continuance Of political tension in
Europe.
Other currencies moved lower In

Brokers' Loans Indicate
That Cash Buying
Is Popular.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 1l.-When stocks
used to swing wildly on "shoe-string"
of cash put up by get-rich-quick bulls,
the bear contingents always lurked in
the shadows of a rising market, ready
to pounce as soon as it showed signs
of WEAKNESS.
Those were the days the market
on any important swing up, had fire.
quent shake e-outs"-sudden sharp re-
versals to trip weak" riders who got
aboard a move with little cash, but
lots of hope and borrowed money.
Today slashing bear traders are
hard to find around brokers' board
rooms and inner speculative haunts.
Even with Is per cent run-up in
share price in two weeks, selling for
decline Of the short variety appears
to have been moderate by COMPARE
son with what frequently came in on
sharp bulges in other years.
Loans Remain Small.
You have only to look at brokers'
loans to understand one important
reason why professional bears are not
as bold as they once were in trying
to spoil bull party for those who
couldn't last out stiff selling test,
brokers say.
| Stock Exchange figures show listed
share values increased more than ST.
900, 100000 in June. the greatest ap-
probation for any month since August,
1929. Yet brokers' loans-which
| finance margin speculation on credit
were up only $4,000, 900 in two weeks
OF fast-rising prices
Brokers borrowings since the years
low point in April have increased less
than $l00,000,000 in face of an ad-
vance of about 1000 ,O00, 900 in listed
share values In the meanwhile.
What analysts conclude from these
figures is that the bulk of the recent
buying has been for cash, thus leaving
the market in a strong position or at
least stoutly protected against bear
attacks.
Restrictions Debated.
An almost straight-up advance, such
as Wall Street witnessed the last two
weeks in June, has left experts de-
batting whether so violent a rise could
have taken place before the hobbies
were put on the bear contingents.
Since 1929 much barbed wire has
been stretched across the short side
of the market by Federal and Stock
Exchange authorities to make it un-
attractive to the professional plungers.
Latest of the restrictions was the
rule imposed last January against
short selling except at prices above
the previous sale. As practical mat
ter. this meant large-scale short SELL
ing could be conducted only in an
advancing market. And fighting q
