George Colby, general contractor, was superintendent of the building activities yesterday. Mr. Colby found that the men worked with a will, that was more than gratifying. Leon C. Goodrich, architect, was also on the job and did much necessary work. E. P. Bacon, member of the scout council, was in charge of the general arrangements for the bar- becue. A. K.

This at least is the opinion of those. who are connected in any way with either organization and it AMERICAN AIR MEN MAKE 350 MILE JOURNEY KAGOSHIMA, Japan,-June 2.—The American around the world aerial expedition arrived at Kagoshima, its last stop in Japan, at 7:02 o’clock this evening.

WASHINGTON, June 2. —The tax reduction bill was signed by President Coolidge. Although the legislation does not accord with his stand for the Mellon plan, the pres- ident affixed his signature because he believed it represented an im: provement over the existing law, It reduces the levy of federal gov- ernment on almost every taxpayer and especially benefits the man or woman with a small taxable income. The effect of the measure is im-+ mediate in that it reduces by 25 per cent taxes on last year's incomés payable this year. More than a score of excise and miscellaneous taxes are repeated within thirty days and the new scale of income and sur- taxes affects incomes and revenues dating from last January 1. President Coolidge believes an ef- fect on business will be noticed within a few weeks, not only be- cause of the’ reductions provided but also because of removal of the uncertainty which has existed in business since discussion of tax re- @uction began nearly eight months ago.
