Vaughan, superintendent of the Utah Railway, nonchalantly walked into the Court House at Price early Wednesday morning and laid down a check for approximately $50,000 being the 1934 taxes assessed against the Utah Railway Co.'s property in Carbon county. The total assessment for 1934 against this company is By paying the tax before Feb. 1 for the current year taxpayers are given a discount of 5 per cent, hence the early payment by the railroad.

Coal Production $21,57000 Less, Claused Effect Refrigerator Ships Now Being Built to Secure Fruit Shipments; a Plain Recital of Important Facts EVERY organization, every public officer, every workman and every individual affected by the prosperity or depression of the railroad and coal mining industry' is urged to forthwith write congressmen and sena tors directly, protesting against the unfairness of the long and short haul clause of the Interstate Commerce Act, designated as Sec- tion 4. The movement of this repeal originates with the chief executives of the 21 railroad labor crafts in the face of further depression in the railroad industry if the clause is not repealed. It is vital to the railroad and coal industry of the West. Right now, ref ijjgerator ships are being assembled to take care of the intercoastal shipments of Pacific Coast fruit via the Panama Canal, with which the railroads cannot compete. The obnoxious clause referred to hamstrings them.. Meet Wednesday Confidence Held Helper's Future Ashley Bartlett and Oliver T. Business Harmon, Census Enumerators, have been working in Helper this week. Both gentlemen expressed great satisfaction with the attitude toward the census and business in general as manifest by the merchants and professional people of this city. Mr. Bartlett states that he has met with courtesy and helpfulness at all times and that the merchants of the city express confidence in the business future of Helper. Dotsero Cutoff To Be Opened By June First Opening of the Dotsero cutoff, which will reduce the distance from Denver to the Pacific coast by 175 miles, is expected by the Reconstruction Finance corporation to take place not later than June 1, reports an Associated Press dispatch from Washington. Jesse H. Jones, R. F. C. chairman, said that representatives of the corporation who recently went over the ground and conferred with President T. S. Pyeatt of the Denver & Rio Grande Western, to which the corporation made a loan for construction of the cutoff, had reported they believed construction will proceed at a satisfactory rate from now on. , Jonea said .Pyeatt told corporation representatives that the engine terminal, Orestod, would be completed by June 1, but that any delay beyond that day would not interfere with opening the cutoff by June 1. Saturday last a delegation from the local organization known as the Relief Workers' Protective Union of Carbon County, waited upon CWA officials at headquarters in the Helper City Hall, where they presented claims, particularly as to securing employment for members of the organization. The delegation was given respectful audience at the City Hall, but were advised to wait and secure a full explanation of the modus operandi of the federal relief projects from one in authority. In fulfilment of this, the Protective Union arranged a meeting Wednesday night of this week at the Roller Rink south of town, which was attended by Jack Cima, local head of the CWA, and Mayor E. F. Gianotti. Mr. Cima addressed the throng on the matter of CWA activities, its purposes and at length upon how the movement is conducted and what is necessary from applicants for employment. The speaker said he had no power to deviate from the strict rules and regulations governing his office. The officials were well received by the crowd and Mr. Cima's explanation seemed to make clear all the ramifications of the CWA to his auditors. The meeting was followed by an entertainment, chief of which was dancing.

Name of defendant, head of a large family, is withheld by The Journal. This party was taken into police court Monday evening, where he pleaded guilty, and was assessed $100 fine by Police Judge M. W. Ross, or given the alternative of serving 100 days in jail. Arrangements were made for the fine to be paid in instalments. It is satted that this man very deftly connected a wire with the city transmission line near his home, and stretched the wire to his residence circuit, skipping the meter. His service from the city had been cut off a year ago. No means of knowing how much free juice was secured in this manner, but it is the belief of the authorities that the $100 fine will cover it and then some. Second Party Missing v A complaint has been lodged against another Helper household er ior me same oriense against the city. The man, who evidently has "smelled a mice," cannot be located by the officers. It is alleged that he did not go to so much trouble as the other purloin-e- r of electrical energy. He merely wired a circuit of a few feet around his meter and let the current give the meter a vacation. : PLATE GLASS WINDOW.

The officer states there was no evidence of the party hav ing been drinking, the driver protesting at first that the parked car projected out from the curb into the street considerably more than necessary. THOMPSON RECOVERING Jim Thompson, Rains, is convalescing at the Price City Hospital from an infection, the result of an injury to his finger incurred while at his work at the Maple Creek Mine recently. LEGION MEETING Members of the Helper Post of the American Legion met last Friday evening at the Strand Sweet Shop. Regular routine business was attended to after which the members enjoyed games and ALLOCATION OF PWA FUNDS IS CONFIRMED Official notification by the Public Works administration of the allocation of $293,000 for the Carbon County schools, has been received by the school board, and the funds will be forthcoming as soon as the details are completed. This money will include a new $110,000 building for Helper, and a $150,000 addition to the Carbon County High School at Price, besides repairs and additions to several other schools in the county.
