TAXPAYERS E The North Township Taxpayers Association, organized last year for the purpose of righting the payment of the horizontal incioase in taxes authorized by the State Board of Tax Commissioners, is once more in action. Judge Charles Friedrich, prime mover in t lie organization, was highly pleased when the announcement came from Indianapolis that the Supreme court had held unconstitutional the act of th state board in ordering the inc:easo. He j now marshalling his forces to get the excess taxes paid, returned to the taxpayers. Many of the taxpayers of North and Calumet townships paid all of their assessments in May while others still have a second installment to be paid in November. Citizens are demanding that the excess payments made In May be refunded and are considering enjoining the treasurer from collecting the f ill amount shown upon the duplicates in November. Injunction suit galore are promised unless the treasurer voluntarily makes the reductions. "All of the people who paid taxes are entitled to refunds, whether they paid them under protest or not." said Mr. Friedrich today. "We want the people to know they have it coming to them." The taxpayers association was organized last winter when it was proposed to take legal steps to prevent the county officials from putting th" new taxes on the duplicates and collecting them. However, a suit similar to the i.ne thoy planned had already been filed in Marion county so no action was taken in ake county. It was the Marion county case which was the basis of the derision of the Supreme court . E "Jary, Hammond. East Ciioago and other cities in the Calumet region welcomed the news gixen out yesterday, that the war time restrictions by which hundreds of applications for resident and commercial telephone were rejected or held pending. hae been removed by the Chicago Telephone company operating in this district.

Although every effort is to be made by the telephone company to speed tip installation of private and business phones, the work will be hampered and dolayed on account of the shortage of material and labor conditions, according to Manager Carroll of Gary. On top of this it will also be necessary" to make extensions to local lines before service Is given it was asserted.
