Of potatoes, Howard said: "In his report of the investigation of the Supply Department in Boston, Chairman Goodwin reports that the city priory to the investigation paid $3.10 per hundred weight, and $1.50 after the investigation.

The highest price we have paid for potatoes is 95 cents per hundred weight and generally it is between 78 and 85 cents. "He is drawing a red herring across the trail to hide his failure to investigate the conditions of Boston for two years after he had been made chairman of the Finance Commission. Ready for Investigation do cot oppose this investigation," Howard went on. "The more we are investigated the more we shall be advertised and the more the public will be convinced that we have the most efficient purchasing system in the country. "There can be no' comparison between pur system and the Boston system, and I am afraid that if a comparison is made of them it will cause trouble for some who are here today.

"I dont think the investigation is at. all necessary, but I welcome it if this committee thinks it advisable. Make it a thorough investigation if you are going tdf have one at all, and Investigate all these allegations that have been flying around the State House. Let the public have all the facts. We have nothing to fear In a thorough investigation.

Twohig for El Dividend Change Earlier in the hearing Senator Twohig spoke in favor of a resolve which would request the directors of the Boston Elevated Railway Company to suspend for two years the declaration of dividends on the stock of the company. He said the road will have a deficit of $3,000,000 at the end of the current year and that on July 1 the cities and towns in the transportation district wili have to make up that deficit or so much of it as remains after the fares of the car-riders have been increased. Twohig said that the Boston Elevated stockholders should "do their bit in contributing to the relief of the existing situation.

Ciirver Phone LIB erty 857( trying to divert attention to the State Commission so as to put in the background his failure to investigate purchases by the city of Boston during a period of two years in which Goodwin had been chairman of the Finance Commission. Howard made this statement before the joint Legislative Committee on Rules, which gave a hearing yesterday afternoon on the resolve introduced by Senator James J. Two-hig of South Boston for the appointment of a special commission to investigate the State Commission.

Twohig said that Gov Ely had severely criticized the commission in his inaugural address aftd that Boston Finance Commissioner Goodwin had publicly stated that because of the inefficiency of the commission the State had been robbed of $500,000 in meat alone. Calls Gooodwin Talk Wild Goodwfn spoke at some length in favor of the resolve, and James A. ONeil, a former employe of the Finance Commission, who was at one time on the staff of the State Institution at Bridgewater, took the same side. When they had finished Chairman Howard said he had no objection to an investigation if the committee thought it wise to have one, but expressed the belief it would be a waste of money. He characterized Goodwins statements as "wild" and suggested that the latter might be dizzy because of conditions in Boston.

As to Goodwins charge that the State had been robbed of $500,000 in meat contracts, Howard pointed oat that in the whole of the year 1931 the State spent only $646,640, and he said it would be difficult to prove that of that amount had been stolen from the State. Quoting from State and city figures, Howard pointed out that the State paid much less than the city for the same quality of meat and only half as much as the city paid for potatoes. Dont Buy Small Potatoes Goodwin retorted that the higher cost of potatoes for the city was due to the fact that the city would not accept small ones. "Neither does the State," said State Purchasing Agent George J. Cronin from his seat in the rear of the room; "our contracts specify the size of potatoes we will accept, and It is a large size." No, said Howard, "we do not buy rimall potatoes for the State, but we sometimes have them forced on us in committee hearings like this.

"How about onions?" a member of the committee asked. Yes, and onions, too, Howard replied. Referring to Goodwins allegation that special firms were' favored in the purchase of food stuffs for the State, Howard said that 102 contracts for meats and groceries were awarded to 17 contractors during 1931, and that only 19 of these contracts were given to the firm which, Mr Goodwin had implied, was favored because of the friendship of the employe of the State commission who has charge of the meat purchases. At the end of the hearing Howard asked the committee whether its members would like to hear the man who bought the meat, but the committee decided jt had heard enough, and the matter was closed. wA' a A and A A symphony of harmonious design ornamentation.

Dr Reid estimated It would take eight days, with frequent stops, for the Catherine to reach Boston. The physician is preparing to assume hi new position with the Tufts Medical School.

MILLS FOR TAX ONJELEGTRIGITY Continued From the First Page cent levy of this sort might yield about $600,000,000, the Treasury believed a limited givup oi selected excise taxes was p. cfcnbie. Mills submitted his new proposals shortly before Senator Tydlngs, Democrat of Maryland, estimated in the Senate that the Government must obtain $6,550,000,000 either from taxes or bond Issues. This amounted to $54 per capita, or $200 for each family, he said. Basing his estimate on appropriations already made by Congress and those recommended by the budget, Tydings said they totaled while present taxes would raise cut $2,500,000,000.

He listed $203,000,000 for veterans-lonns; $126,000,000 for the Deficiency Appropriation bill; $125,000,000 in the Laud Bank bill $500,000,000 In the Reconstruction Corporation law and an additional $1,500,000,000 In that act; $4,601,000,000 in the budget and a deficit of $2,000,000,000 in the Treasury. The yields of the Treasury proposals were based on making the proposed Increases in individual and corporate taxes retroactive on 1931 Incomes. The Ways and Means Committee today affirmed its stand against such tax Increases by a formal unanimous vote. Acting Chairman Crisp said this would reduce the potential revenue from the Treasury plan by about $107,000,000, leaving another gap between prospective receipts and the and that be cut from Government aupply bills. While not recommending a manufactures sales tax, Mills said a 2 per Crisp, Secretary Mills said: "The Committee on Ways and Means and the Treasury Department are In complete accord as to the necessity of balancing the budget during the next fiscal year so as to eliminate any further increase in our public debt.

There can be no question as to the soundness of position. It admits of no compromise." Discussing the proposed 2 percent manufactures sales tax, Mills said: "The yield of such a measure would depend upon its precise form. If constructed so as to provide for a single and not a pyramided levy, substantially without exemptions, the tax might yield about $600,000,000. Mills estimated that the total income from a 1 percent increase in corporate taxes would be from the Increased Individual income and surtaxes, estate taxes on the basis of the 1921 tax, Increase from two to four cents on sales of stocks, $22,000,000.

In relation to the Montclair station, he wrote that the road has been considering erecting a shelter to replace the station. Goodwin Enlarges Meat Charge Goodwin enlarged somewhat on charges he had previously made that inferior meat was supplied to the State Institutions. He alleged that "contractors who are In right can bid lower than others "because they know they will not be called upon to live up to specifications." The man who is selling most of the meat to the State was blacklisted in 392S, he continued. At that time the concern he was working wilb went im-o bankruptcy, but this man, Monroe, Joined another concern, and it is that concern that is now doing business with the State meat inspector. "Do you charge that there has been collusion between this meat inspector nd this man Monroe? asked Pree Jaspar G.

Bacon of the State Senate, who presided over the hearing. This man is a close friend of the States only meat inspector," Goodwin replied. "Anyone on the outside in the meat business will tel! you that it is futile to attempt to get a State contract because of the contractors who are right. fa ,12 CHARLESTOWN CONVICTS REMOVED TO NORFOLK The Inmates of the State Prison at Charestown were reduced by the number of 12 yesterday when that number were sent to the colony at Norfolk in motor cars, properly guarded.
