To meet this outgo, approximately $262 would be collected in taxes each second, and an additional $292 raised by borrowing.

Funds Application for a Works Projects administration project for the improvement of the Belmar station plaza will be made by the boro commission pending receipt of a clear easement to the property. A tentative easement has been received and must be approved by mortgage holders and others concerned before expenditure for the improvement can be made. The commission advised Commissioner Carl W. Schroeder yesterday that the W. P.

Pipe and lumber are being salvaged, he said, and the pier will be barricaded at the entrance until the work is completed. Mayor Leon T.

On the basis of official estimates that 94,000 Italian troops have been captured, killed or wounded during the British offensive which began Dec. 9, the British calculated today that less than 30,000 troops man the Tobruk -defenses.

The number had been estimated previously at about 50,000. The Tobruk garrison was reported to have less water and fewer supplies than the defenders of Bardia, which fell to the British last weekend.

The spearhead of the British offensive is now some 200 miles from the nearest Egyptian railhead of Matruh. The Royal Air Force was given credit for a major share in the British successes to date.

The British are facing a difficult problem in caring for the Italian prisoners already captured, most of whom now are being transported to camps in the Suez canal zone. Large camps in the Nile delta, hurriedly prepared for men captured in the initial British drive, are being cleared to care for new arrivals.

Col. William J. Donovan, who recently has been in London on an undisclosed mission from the United States, arrived in Cairo by plane last night. He is staying in the British embassy.

Wheeler said in a statement, "to build ships and guns and loan them to China or any country in the world that he wants to loan them to that is being attacked by an aggressor. Whether or not a nation is an aggressor will depend on whether the president says so.

"Only a few years ago when congress voted money for the president to rehabilitate the needy all the conservatives and New York bankers were crying their eyes out because of the blank checks given. "Now same group of internationbeing, al bankers which was opposed to granting a blank check for relief will wholeheartedly support giving a blank check to the president, not for helping the people of this country but for the help the Chinese and the British or anyone elese that he sees fit." Altho Wheeler was organizing opposition to the aid-to-Britain program, administration supporters expressed the opinion that congress would approve it by sizable majorities.
