"B-8 % PAVIG TAX LW “BREAKDONN SEEN @ride Report Urges Wider <= Powers for District .. <ommissioners. A “very serious breakdown in our faxing laws for paving purposes” is forecast in the annual report of Cor- tion Counsel Willlam W. Bride un- less Congress does something abous enacting legislation to replace the much-battered Borland law, relating to the assessment of abutting property for street paving. Outlining the present situation, Bride says: “At the present time the Court of Appeals has so interpreted the law @8 to render its permitted operations very unequal. We have lately gone to the Supreme Court of the United States with petitions for writs of certiorari in & number of cases. Should these writs be denied, or, if granted and the de- cislons of the Court of Appeals be sus- tained, I look to see a very serious breakdown of our taxing laws for street paving® purposes. A committee com- posed of the chief co-ordinator, the as- sessor and myself prepared a proposal and presented it to Congress last year, but no action was taken, due to the proximity of adjournment. Favors Gasoline Tax. “Personally, I have always been strongly inclined toward increasing the e tax and toward placing the urden for street paving on the per- sons who use the streets, i. e., the driv- ers of automobiles. Of course, it can- not be denied that some benefit does oc- cur to abutting e¢‘n'oxwefl.y owners when streets are paved, but in my opinion the charges are necessarily too great un- der the present law and are thus dis- rtionate to the benefit obtained. e present law should be repealed and & measure enacted into law which will lower materially the tax upon the abut- un: property owners and provide an additional tax on gasoline. Action upon the question is imperative, and Congress should be urged to enact new legisla- tion speedily.” McBride's report carries recom- B e Sextsation widening.

The work of the Commissioners is arduous and | winds, exacting physically and mentally, and should be relieved of mere admin- istrative details whenever possible.

The difficulty is that, for some reason or other, the transfer of title has not gotten to him. What we should do is to have the titles ex- amined first of all. Some additional expense is involved.

HARBOR GRACE, September 13 —Airport Newfoundland, officials here tonight said they had received word |2 Charlottetown, Prince Edward from Island, that the plane Columbia, bear- | ing Capt.

The fiyers decided it was unwise to attempt a landing here tonight, so they turned back to Charlottetown. The informa- tion received here was that they would take off for Harbor Grace in time to reach here .at noon tomorrow. The fiyers left St. Hubert Airport, Montreal, for Harbor Grace this morn- lnf on the first leg of*a profected trans- atlantic flight. GEN.
