TAXATION WILL HOLD - ATTENTION OF OHIO LEGISLATORS SOON

" By Associated Press) COLUMBUS, O., Dec. 28. Taxation and departmental reorganization

promise- to be the principal subjects

part of the Lincoln highway, the directors of which are expected to make their final selection of the "ideal road" within a fortnight. Mr. Wright has just returned from New York where he placed Indiana's claim for the "Ideal road" before the Lincoln highway directorate. He believes the directors were well pleased with Indiana's claim, but Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Jersey are also pressing their claims.

James N. Gunn, president of a rub-

- of legislation during the session of i ber company, has given $15,000 for the

the Ohio genera assembly which convenes Jan. 3. The ground work for both these subjects has been extensively prepared and they probably will be .taken up immediately by the legislators as . soon as they get organized for the sea- J eon. Both were given considerable at-! tention during .the last session, the; taxation subject having been considered at a special session, and the

proposition of reorganizing state departments having been considered by a special committee with the aid of experts, on which a number of reports embodying .recommendations have been made. May Suspend Present Law Chambers of commerce, the state grange, farm bureau organizations and many other civic bodies have agreed upon . two kindred taxation measures designed to relieve the present financial situation in cities as well as rural taxing districts. They contemplate a temporary suspension of the limitations of one percent tax law, whereby levies may be made to wipe out present indebtedness and placing a limit : on future indebtedness. Under the present limitations of the one percent law. practically every city in the state, and many rural districts, have been forced to resort to bond issues to defray running expenses, with the result that interest and . sinking fund charges now absorb most of the revenue that should go for current operation, necessitating additional bond issues each year. The present tax laws, while limiting the tax levies, do not limit the amount of indebtedness, hence the resort in the past to bond issues. It is this condition which the proposed tax laws ; will seek to remedy. Dry Forces Active Dry forces al?o are backing legislation that would set up prohibition enforcenient machinery in the state. The Crabbe enforcement act, approved by referendum at the November election, while it provides penalties, etc., does not provide the .machinery for enforcing its provisions. . As both branches of the legislature are overi whclmingly dry, it is expected ?uch a law, creating a prohibition enforcement officer with a number of assisting deputies, will be enacted..

construction of the road, according to

Mr. Wright, who says Jts name "ideal" is to typify the construction and all phases connected with the stretch of roadway. Wherever the road Is to be located, Mr. Wright said it would be necessary to obtain a 100-foot right of way. but he did not anticipate, that there would be any trouble obtaining many gifts of the necessary land to secure the model highway.

' The capacity of production of motor .vehicles in the United States is estimated at 2,200.000 cars a year.

BIG fllff SALE

ON AT NEWARK SHOE STORE.

The fire started, apparently, in the basement of the building at 5 Kast Seventh street, occuoie') hy Newstadt Brothers, contracting painter?, where paint and oils were stored. The blaze then worked its way into the basement of the Newark shoe store, at the corner of Market St., in Wilminjrton, Del., and rushed up the shaft on the Seventh street side of the building, filling the entire structure with smoke. Chief Engineer Lutz was at the fire early, and fearing a bad blaze, ordered a second alarm struck. This brought, the Brandywine, Wecaacoe and Independence companies, and the fire was soon under control. The loss on the building, which is owned by Max Keil, 2103 Boulevard, was slight, being only about $2,000, according7 to the estimates, and covered by insurance. Managers of the paint store and the Newark Shoe Store were unable to estimate their losses, but said they believed them fully covered by insurance. Most of the damage was in the basement of ,the paint shop, where the fire startled. The third and fourth floors of ! the' corner building are used " for storerooms.
