LABOR BOARD AIDE

Po|ier DisCIoses He and
Wagner's Secretary
Wrote Act.

BY the Associated Press.
STEUBENVILLE, Ohio. April %.
Attorney Isadore Polier, chief Labor
Board counsel in the Weirton Steel
Co. hearing, disclosed yesterday that
he was one of the authors, along with
Senator Robert Wagner's secretary,
OF the Wagner Labor Relations Act.
The statement came during a sharp
exchange over point of law as to
whether company financing of labor
organizations such as the Weirton en-
ploye representation plan, could be
construed AS domination" or was an
entirely separate offense under the act.
Mr.. Polier sought to ask a witness
questions concerning the company's
alleged support of the E. r. P. a
collective bargaining agency for Weir
tons employees since 1888
Attorney Clyde A. Armstrong. chief
counsel for the company, said the

and financing" separately.

be wrong, of course, but l followed
the matter carefully at the time l

and wrote on the bill

that Mr.. Polier has advantage of
us in what the act was intended to
do. He told us one day he and Sena-
tor Wagners secretary drafted the
act
Mr.. Polier protested against Mr.
Armstrong disclosing for the record
something told him lin confidence and

Il thought you would be proud of
the fact If you had part in drafting

strong.
May say I am not more proud
of anything I ever did in my life
than assisting. as little as I was able, y

Work Of removing cherry trees,

berry will be resumed tomorrow at

after inclement weather prevented

from continuing the task yesterday.

yesterday was to place additional

of large evergreen whose roots had
been partially exposed before work
was interrupted Friday by a group
of women who protested the removal
of the trees by claiming themselves

average as much as $l,000OO0 a
year; 90 that the tax rate would
be $3.50: and 60 the loss of $780,
600 by the expiration Of the business
privilege tax. Any variations or de-
partures from these assumptions
would affect the additional amount
of revenue required to be raised tor
the general fund. For example,
should the SITS tax rate be con-
tinued that would mean 100000
additional revenue would be avail
able from the tax on real estate
and tangible personal property.
Real Estate Tax Limit.
"In my opinion the fair propor-
ton of the total revenue to be OBJ
tanned from the tax on real estate
should not at any time during the
seven-year period in question call
for higher rate than $1.75. 1t is
also my opinion that the new tax
program should be sufficiently elas-
tic to prevent the raising in any
fiscal year of more revenue than is
required for that year, using the
tax rate on real estate as the elastic
factor, lowering it as may become
necessary, but not having it exceed
SITS at any time. And as part
of this program the fair Federal OBJ
legation should not be lost sight Of"
Maj. Donovan cited the need for
increased appropriations for expan-
sion of the public school system as
argument for increased annual out
lays for public improvements. On
this point he told DR.. Pond:
THE falling off in recent years in
appropriations for public improve
ments has been particularly notice.
able in the public schools. During
the eight-year period between 1925
and 1888 appropriations for the pur-
chase of land and the erection of
school buildings totaled s25.000 900,
or an average of over $3,000,000 for
each year.
School Estimates.
For 1888 building and land ap-
preparations for the public schools
amounted to $1,978,0OO; 1884, 10000

pended balances of prior appropri-

900: 1887, 81 ,920, 900; 1898, $1,901 900.
and 1899, $1,7O3,000. The Oommis-
sioners' budget for 1910 provides ST.
279,0O, which includes .$l75,00O for
branch library building in Southwest
Washington. This latter figure,
however, should be. considered in
connection with 81 ,O38 900 for school
building construction under P. w. A.
projects.
1.-The Board of Education within
the past few years completed q new
five-year building program which
contemplates the expenditure of
roughly about $300O0,OO0 for the
purchase of sites for buildings and
play areas, the replacement of old
buildings now in use, which were
condemned many years ago, and for
the erection of new buildings. To
spread large program such as this
over a short period of five years is
hardly possible If the cost is to be
met alone from current revenues.
"In the capital outlay set-up for
1941 to 1947, it is proposed to allow
the schools $2,5OO,OOO a year for
their capital needs. This in my
opinion is the limit which should
come out of current revenues"

5000, 900 New Revenue Needed.
Detailed calculations were made
by Mai. Donovan to show the need,
by the fiscal year 1947. for revenues
exceeding the present tax load by at
least $5,OO0,OOO. He estimated, and
produced figures for a long period
of past years to prove, that mainte-
nance and operation costs were in
creasing steadily by 81 ZOO, 900 year.
He also offered statistics to show the
need of appropriations, annually, of
$6,OOO,O00 to $7000,000 for capital
improvements. as against the $3,-
100000 for such purposes proposed
by the Commissioners for the 1910
fiscal year.
In his calculations for the seven
year period. for the fiscal years l94l
to 1947. Maj Donovan figured there
would be a deficit of $4,000, 900 be-
tween reevnues and drafts on the
general fund-but this was based on
an accountants point of view and
not on the picture intended for the
public.
For instance. he estimated gen.
eral fund revenues for the 1910 fis-
cal year, using a normal" tax base
of $15O, instead of the prevailing
SITS per $l0O of value. plus the
dropping of the business privilege
tax and including no Federal pay
ment, would total s33.0OO,O00. To
this he added an annual sum of
$500 900 which is his estimate of the
normal increase tax revenues on the
present basis. which would bring the
total to $36, 100000.
S51,0o0,00O Estimated Need.
Against this, Maj. Donovan posed
the 1899 fiscal year general fund
operating costs of $36.500,000, plus
an increase of about s. 900, 900 year
in maintenance and operation costs.
which, plus his estimate of the need
of an annual outlay of a maximum
of 100000 a year for capital i'm
provements, would bring his esti-
mate to $51 500 900 for the total sem

calculation, taken alone, would in
dicate the need for an estimated
maximum additional revenue. need
ed to be raised during the ceven-
year period, of $l5000,000. How
ever, in reference to the fact that he
had gone back to the normal tax
basis of 1887, for the benefit of DR..
Pond. and had eliminated the prob
abilities of Federal payment to-
wards National Capital costs, Maj.
Donovan said:
Assuming a Federal payment of
only $5,000,000 as at present, the
greatest amount then required to
be raised locally at the peak need
of the seven-year period would be
10.000,0 900. This is of course based
on the several assumptions, % that
there would be no increase in the
Federal payment; CD that capital
needs would justify as larse IN
