Now York, Nov. 8. An Interna
tional information exchange system
between America and Italy has
been initiated by the Italian cham
ber of labor, 76 Bible House, New
York city, which organization will
act as n clearing house for this serv
Ice, it was announced yesterday.
Facts concerning industrial expan
sion and, depression, news of labor
ing conditions in various sections ef
this country, are trasmitted to Italy
to enable those who wish to emi
grate to America to find more
quickly suitable occupations when
they arrive here, instead of having
them come uninformed of these
conditions.
This, officers of the chamber
point out, is the first attempt by
the Italians now lift America to take
over the helpful functions .vhlch
certain American organizations
have been performing hitherto. The
I chamber of labor, it is- stated, was
organized to help Italians in this
country pass through the period of
adjustment in America, and to
promote among them higher stand
ards of living, wages, health and.
education.
The chamber also receives news
from Italy, and disseminates it
among Italian resident here. Lo
cally and nationally, educational
activties, through lectures, pam
phlets and similar means, are being
carried on,
An undertaking which, it is as
serted by officials, is speedily emer
ging from (he stage of a shadowy
project to the concreteness of real
ity 4s an Italian people's university,
which is to be established to teach
what American schools do not in
clude in their curriculum, such as
courses in the history of the trades
union movement, economic-, or
ganization and kindred topics.
Already approximately 25,0'jO
Italians now resident in America
are afffiliated through their respec
live organizations with their cham
ber. Clirolamo Valenti, one of the
best known Italian journalists, is
general organizer of the body.
'What the chamber will seek to
accomplish," he said, 'is tOi 'edu
cate the Italian to provide a central
information bureau which will di
rect Italian labor to section of the
country where work is to be had,
and keep it from industries whore
unemployment or seasonal fluctua
tions shut out opportunities."
Already the chamber has numer
ous crafts represented, such as the
tailors, some of the longshoremen,
unskilled workers to a small extent
and barbers. It will seek to Jo for
the Italian workers what the chum
ber of commerce does for the mer
chant and trader and banker
work in his interests, promote
knowledge that will be useful to
him in his American experience.
of!and represent him when he is in
difficulties.
Hof f Urges
Bond Board
Be Created
State Treasurer Sug
gests Commission to
Supervise Invest
ments of Funds
The creation of a state bond
commission to consist of the gov-
errnor, state superintendent of
banks and the state treasurer to
supervise the investment of state
funds is recommended by State
Treasurer O. P. Hoff in his bien
nial report to the forthcoming leg
islature which was transmitted to
Governor Olcott today. . .
"It is politically impossible for
the state treasurer to make these
Investments without subjecting
himself to more or less criticism,"
Hoff's report reads. "Especially
will this be true In the future by
reason of the rapid increase of
these funds. Therefore it is my
recommendation that the law be
changed so, that the state treasurer
will not be required to carry the
entire burden in regard to invest
ing these funds."
Thinks Plan Sound.,
Commenting on his recommend
ation for the creation of a state
bond commisison Hoff declares:
"This suggestion I believe Is
sound and I believe these officials,
because of their positions and fa
miliarity with state affairs and
business condtiions would be emi
nently fitted to pass upon securities
for state investments."
Hoff also recommends In his re
port that the present law be so
changed as to require all munici
palities and school districts to send
a written notice of sales of bond
issues to the state treasurer.
"It is my opinion that with the
enactment of laws embodying these
two features in reference to the
purchase and sale-of bonds that the
state would be protected," the re
port reads.
The state treasurer refers in his
report to securities now held by
the state as 'sound and high inter
est bearing securities."
"None of the interest is delin
quent upon any of the bonds held
by the state treasurer with the ex
ception of a few school districts
which at times are slow in making
remittances," the repprt states. '-On
every bond we have purcHased the
interest has been promptly paid
ana tne bonds are substantial i
every particular."
Growth Demands Change.
The phenomena! growth of th
financial affairs of the state is
shown In the report In a compara
tice table which shows that re
ceipts of the state treasurer's office
for the biennium ending September
30, 1920, aggregated $39,406,026.18
fas against receipts of 120,133,-
970.04 for the preceding biennum.
"The volume. of business handled
during the last biennial period, as
shown by the receipts of the bien
nium, exceeds the receipts of any
preceding biennial period by over
nineteen million dollars, or ap
proximately 92 per cent," the re
port sets out. "The same condition
exists as to the disbursements
which, during the past biennial
period exceeded the disbursements
of any preceding biennial period by
over twenty-two million dollars, or
approximately 103 per cent.

New York, Nov. 8. Although

Ben F. West has completed a valu

out the 1920 tax roll.
The valuation for 1919. was $37,-
435, 5S0. The disereptancy of $2b0,-

icipation of the removal of motor
vehicles from county tax rolls, as

that valuations would be increased
10 per cent in this county. Because
of this action, and due also to prop
erty increases in the county, the 1
valuation is nearly the same as In
