Through Tarred Road» is a common sense view, for the city cannot succeed in spending money that it does not have and cannot get any more than can an individual. Where deliquent taxes are listed as a cash asset in city budgets, according to information received by the Eagle from reliable authority, the outstanding warrants are also listed as an offset, the one balancing the other. It is merely a matter of bookkeeping,,and the taxpayer is not a bit bet ter off one way or the other. Aside from the immaterial matter of publication, ob jections made at the meeting resolve themselves into one, the failure to include delinquent taxes. Since the addition of that item would not help the distressed taxpayer, he has nothing to gain, and everything to lose, by voting against the budget on those grounds. He has to pay anyhow, later (with interest) if not sooner (without).________________ LAW REQUIRES TAGGING OF MEAT AND POULTRY According to District Attorney John L.

He bases his fears on the existence of experimental cancer in mice suc ceeding local applications of tar on the skin and on cancers observed In workmen who handle tar. Doctor Forveau fears that the dust of the road, when composed of siliceous granules with sharp points and edges, and Impregnated with tar, may cause traumatisms of the mucosae of the respiratory and digestive tracts, callable of producing cancer, just as pulmo believed that these complaints nary tuberculosis may he facili In cutters of millstones by arise from a failure on the part tated the siliceous dust that they inspire. of the producer to understand the provisions of the 1931 law.
