Davis sug At the commissioners' office yester Concert by Massed Band in Montrose Is Heard by 4,000 152 Musicians From Major Hoban Tells Ro tarians of High Military Standing Given State Guard by General Mc Arthur "The 109th Infantry, Scranton's own and other national guard units of the Twenty Eighth division of Pennsylvania, 'together with the Twenty Sev MAJOR T. L. HOBAN enth division of New York and the Forty Fourth, a composite national guard division, are regarded by Gen. Douglar MoArthur, chief of staff of the U. S.

army, as constituting the country's first line of defense," Maj. T. Linus Hoban, of the 109th infantry, stated in an address on "The National Defense," given at the Rotary club meeting in Hotel Casey yesterday. According to Major Hoban, congress was informed by General McArthur recently that he would send these units into immediate service before He could attempt to gather a defense from the regular army. "We can in twenty four hours start into motion a complete tactical division, fully armed, equipped and supplied and ready for field service," Major Hoban said.

"The statement of General McArthur has two implications, first, it Is a tribute to the high degree of training which our ctizen soldiers have acquired in a limited time approximately 72 hours a year of drill and 100 hours of training in the field, and secondly, It Is a sad commentary upon the condition which, through lack of funds, our regular army has been forced Into. The sentiment of America always is and probbaly always always will be against a large standing army, but surely it is reasonable to expect tnat in a country tne size of ours the defense force should be supplied, equipped and organised so that its combat units could immediately take the field in reasonable strength prepared for action. Pays Tribute to Davis "It is a source of local pride that the military affairs of the state are in the hands of one of our local citizens, Gen. David J. Davis.

The governor of Pennsylvania is, of course, the commander in chief of our state army, but his military affairs are administered through the office of the adjutant general of Pennsylvania, and in General Davis the governor has a wise military counselor, whose personal efforts both as chief of staff of the Twenty Eighth division and as adjutant general of Pennsylbania have contributed greatly to the present development and training of our troops." In his closing remarks. Major Hoban furnished information about the national guard and called to mind the military policy and setup of the national defense, and spoke as follows: "In Pennsylvania we have in the national guard approximately 900 officers, thirteen warrant officers, who are leaders of our regimental bands, 11.350 enlisted men. a total of 12.259 officers and men.

McGinnis developed a love for politics with the casting of his flrst ballot ana lor years in the era that the Democrats held the balance of power in Lacka wanna he was active in the councils of his party. His political activities carried him to every nook and corner of the county. He made thousands of lasting friendships.

Tierney conferred with councllmen yesterday also with Director PubUc Works William A. Schunk on interpretation of the contractual clause which specifies that local labor shall be employed.

Tierney Is of the belief the idle workers on the roster of his union will be placed. He argued yesterday that the mere statement of a job seeker (riving Scranton as his home should not be accepted. Tierney will arrange a list of workers to be submitted to the contractor as soon as he arrives. The city inspector on the job can guard against any substitutions. Tierney believes.

Director of Public Health Frank G. Bryant yesterday recommended the construction of a sewer line in the upper Twelfth ward. South Scranton. to eliminate an unsanitary condition In that vicinity. The recommendation was referred to the nubile works committee.

Dr. Bryant declared that cess pools and drains there overflowed. Due to the non absortive properties of the roc and shale there the overflow is carried by the rain causing this unsanitary condition. Dr. Bryant stated.

He recommended that the sewer be laid on the upper end of Moosic street and a section of Meadow avenue.

"Finners" Qulnlan and HARRY E. APGAR George Mackie readily approved the recommendation and directed that resolutions to this effect be framed and mailed to Governor Plnchot and to the state senate. Councilman Davis argued that Councilman Apgar was duly qualified for the position, having considerable experience in public utilities and in municipal affairs. Councilman Davis took the position that Lackawanna county or this end of the state should have representation in the appointment of former Commissioner Ainey's successor. Davis pointed out that Ainey was a resident of Northeastern Pennsylvania and contended that the appointee should also be from, this section.

He alluded to Councilman Apgar's familiarity with the water rate case and to numerous other utility matters. In Council Since 1919 Councilman Apgar is chairman of the city fathers and is serving his fourth consecutive term as a city legislator, having been first elected to office back in 1919. Previously he served as secretary to former Congressman John R. Parr. Councilman Apgar is one of the city's foremost civic leaders and has been particularly active in all projects tending toward municipal development.

Suggestion of Mr. Apgar as the appointee came after the reading by City Clerk William P. Huester of a communication, from the Lackawanna County Republican club requesting mayors, councllmen and burgesses of Lackawanna county to Join in the demand for local representation on the service body. The executive committee of the Lackawanna County Republican club has recommended appointment of Attorney Jerome K. Barrett as Ainey's successor.

This committee was directed to call upon District Attorney John J. Owens to rs the local Plnchot leader to a Barrett's name for the post. icy Barrett has been prominent in club's affairs since its inception. He is likewise active in the Railroad Employes' Protective association. In the interests of the last named organization he framed an excise bill whereby motor passenger and freight haults in interstate asportation would be taxed to such an extent as to place these carriers on a more even competitive basts with railroads.

A third local man prominently mentioned for the appointment is Attorney Joseph F. Gunster, one of the counsel for the consumers in the battle against Increased rates Imposed by the Scranton Spring Brook Water company. mm Just Another Blaze At Slower' Plant Fire companies early last night battled a fire at the old Stower's packing plant. Just another blaze to add to the demolition of the structure. The damage was negligible.

A third run was made to East Scranton where a slight fire damaged the porch of the home of James Plynn at 538 Schulta court. Children playing with matches was given as the cause.

Illinois governor bans Dempsey Brennan fight scheduled for Labor day. My day it was pointed out that county taxpayers have never voiced a demand to cut up their tax payments in sec tions. This is probably due to the fact that the individual assessments have never been burdensome. At the present rate of six and three' quarters mills, a property valued for tax purposes at $2,000 is taxed but $13.50. Tne extra cose ior oooKKeep ing entries should this item be col lected In Installments would reduce the county revenue considerably each year.

Accent City Taxes Quarterly At the present time the single tax office nere is accepting quarterly pay ments on city taxes and will accom modate any taxpayer who desires to pay his Scranton school tax in two payments altnough no lormai action on this procedure has been taken by the local school board. The county tax and the poor tax must be paid in full. The latter tax is but a minor one, the assessment being made on a four mills basis. Should the local poor board decide to materially increase the poor tax millage next year, as is anticipated, the board will probably take advantage of the new law and inaugurate quarterly payments. Provisions of McClure Act Under the terms of the McClure act any county, city, borough, town, township, school district or poor district may install a system for the collection of taxes in Installments.

The law allows the taxing agency wide discretion, stating that the Installments may be made on a monthly basis or for any other period of time. It is re quired that the resolution or ordinance adopted specify the number of installments and the dates when they become due. Should an installment delinquent a penalty of 5 per cent is imposed and should half or more of the total installments become delinquent a further penalty of 3 per cent may be charged against the taxpayer. The payment of the first installment by a taxpayer before the installment becomes due shall be regarded as conclusive evidence of an intention to pay tax on the installment plan. It is not expected that the various tax collectors throughout the county will adopt the installment system.

The collectors' are paid on a commission basis and the installation of an installment system of bookeeplng with additional postage and labor costs would amount to a considerable cut in the collector's commission. A further objection to the adoption of the installment system by the county arises in the fact that the county duplicate is never ready for collection before September and all unpaid taxes are returnable to the county treasurer for credit by the collector on the first Monday in May. Under an installment plan of collection a taxpayers balance of several dollars would therefore be turned over for collection by process to the treasurer, entailing extra costs.

Marte Reallyt And when it the 1 Cm Rhodes Is Planning To Force Test Vote On Political Plums Says Changes in Methods of Collecting Taxes XYT 1J C(nl uuiu oavc $6,000,000 (By a Stall Correspondent) HARRISBURO.

Aug. 15. Representative Chester Rhodes. Monroe county Democrat, as chairman of a special committee representing the rural bloc in the house, tonight announced a plan to put the member of the house "on the spot" on the question of effecting economies in state and county governments by the elimination of choice political plums, Rhodes and his committee met tonight with Dr. Clyde King, secretary of revenue, to discuss the estimates of the savings which would be achieved should Rhodes' bills changing the method of collecting inheritance, mercantile and personal property taxes, together with the measures lewing a foreign coroor ations tax and eross receipts tax from utilities now exemDt.

be enacted nto law. Would Save $6,000,000 The Monroe county legislator said that the proposed changes in tax collection would net $6,000,000. and if ths mercantile tax were increased from one mill, the present rate, to three mills, another $6,000,000 could be realizca, thus providing the amount needed to finance the Talbot relief bill. His measures would nut the collection mercantile taxes and inheritance taxes in the hands of the revenue depart wciib, tiiem ttwajr nuui appiau ers and registers of wills. The personal property tax.

now collected by ths counties, would also be handled by the department, and Dr. King estimate: that instead of the $13,000,000 now realized from this source, his department could collect $35,000,000. ail of which would so to the counties. The rural bloc committee plans to submit a resolution calling for the adoption of these economy measures. This is intended to out the house members on record, since Rhodes believes it impossible to get the bills out of the wavs and means committee.

with $133,475 collected, the cost was 20.2 per cent, and the appraiser got $4,455. Dr. King's figures show that the four mill personal ooperty tax in Lackawanna county netted $103,236 in 1930. $96,634 in 1925 and $84,000 in 1920. In Luzerne, the 1930 collection was $230,800.

Hagen Believes Council Should Buy Brooks Site Local Amateur Sports man Insists It Would Be Revenue Producing Source "Whatever you do, do not let that proposition get away from you," Hoad ley Hagen, popular local amateur sportsman, declared to council yesterday following an informal discussion on the possibilities of establishing Income deriving recreations on the Brooks field acreage should the $60,000 sale offer of the Glen Alden Coal company be accepted. Hagen recommended Its purchase and cited several reasons why the plot should be self sustaining.

The opinion of council appeared to be unanimous that it was "at least a good buy" with its value likely to Increase in coming years. Councilman George Mackie contended it was unfortunate that the offer came at a time when tax collections were lagging and depressive conditions were general throughout the community. Hagen recalled the opportunity the city had twenty five years ago to buy the Sturges property for $25,000 and pased up only to be ridiculed constantly for many years afterward. The solons likewise agreed that there is no doubt but what they would be criticized five years hence if the Glen Alden proposal is turned down.
