BROOKLYN l.alaek from Hereata Mail GRADE CROSSING PAY HELD UP 4 YEARS, HARKNESS ASSETS Transit Commissioner Scores Serious Delay by Hylan's Board of Estimate. iieiiou vuiiiiiiiBntujirr iji-iwj Harkness in a statement issued yesterday attacks tha Board of Estimate for its delay in paying a bill for approximately $2,600 hich was the city's share of the cost of soma grade-crossing improvements under order of the Transit Commission almost four years bo.

The delay in this instance, he contends. Is typical of the city's procedure. The Board of Estimate approved the bill in question on March 9 of this year. Further improvements hava been held upr Harkness says, because the bill was not paid before. On Jan.

12, 1921, he explains, the Public Service Commission for tho 1st District, afterward succeeded hy the Transit Commission, issued nn order providing for the pavement and improvement of lo streets, including Fairvlew. Putnam and Forest aves. in the Fresh Pond section of Queens, where these thoroughfares cross at gi-ade tho tracks of, tho Brooklyn City Railroad.

As announced by The Eagle, she will visit her mother at Posen, Poland, and Join her unknown fiance in London.

The latter sailed, according to Miss Negri, ten days ago. Surrounded by reporteis and questioned about her engagement, Pola denied It on the sun deck, but admitted It ten minutes later- in her stateroom. At first she said she had no desire to marry again, but when the newspaper men persisted she finally laughed and said yes, she was engaged to a "conservative American." "He has sent me this ring," she said, pointing to a 16-karat diamond upon her right hand. The ring was a misfit too large. "Jt will have to be cut down no.

not the stone, but the band it will have to be made to- fit my finger." said Pola, i "Will you be married abroad?" she was asked. "No, six weeks Is too short a time," was the answer and when the case of Gloria Swanson and her Marquis was Instanced, Pola laughed and said, "Ah, then she is a fast worker." Will Work on Orphanage. She expects, she said, to spend most of the time In Posen enlarging her orphanage for Polish children. Miss Negri said that on Friday she had entered into a two-year contract with Famous Players.

Washington. arch tl Chairman Couzens of the Special Senate Com mittee investigating the Internal Revenue, charged today that a case being' considered by the committee in executive session showed tha Treasijry Department was not settling tax, questions, uniformly, and that Ihe personal views of tho tux assessors Influenced the result. The case, involving about 000. the Michigan Senator said, was of two men with intorests in an oil well, one owning a one-third Interest anil the other one-half.

The man owning the one-third Interest bold his holding, which created an actual value tinder tha rules of the Treasury, and a tax settlement was made 1 on that basis. When the owner ol the half In terest came to pay his taxes, the chairman asserted, he claimed another value, and a basis was agreed on with the Treasury experts, under which he paid less taxes than his former partner. i The Treasury explanation, (sen ator Couzens said, was that the assessments were mde by two different seta of engineer and Ttuditors, who did not come to tne same conclu sion "I do not ne aaaeu. wiai these cases happen in all section of tho bureau, but hope the Inves- ligation will snow to wnai extent the conditions do exist."

Ala Bank of Manhattan Jaraalra. pany's special and highly profitable line during the war neriod. After the war to make uo for the loss of munition contracts, the company turned to building heavy machinery for Industrial uses, and the past few years have been devoted largely trf development in this direction. Those who recall the "var-brldes" of the war-time stock market mav also recall that Bliss Company stoci: was one of the high-soaring unlisted stocks. From a pre-war price of $37.50 a share the old common stock of $50 par rose in succeeding years to a level of $765 to $775 a share.

The banner year. 1916. netted profits of and extra dividends to stockholders, running to 10 percent on the $.0 par common stock iir each of three quarters of the year, hrought the total dividend dlsbusements in that year to more than $4 000.000. In the period from 1914 to when bonuses aggregating $4,500,000 were paid out, total dividends were approximately $8,000,000, Additions to surplus wore capitalized by new issues of stoctf, and the old $50 par stock that 'rose to $765 a share, of which there were originally 25.000 shares outstanding, was multiplied to 300.000 shares of "no par," the present common stock. Thus one share -of the old stock would be equivalent to 12 sares of the present stock, and on thls.basis a recent price of $10 a share for the stock now outstanding would be equivalent to $120 a share for the old stock.

The fall of the "war-bride" was accordingly to $120 a share hen peace came. Taking $15 a share as the current market, the stock has recovered to tho equivalent of $180 from Its low level of last year. Dividends are being jiald on the present common stock at the rate of $1 a year.

Tho common stock of the E. W. Bliss Company came to life in. Wall street last week, coincident with the attack of the minority stockholders on the $4,600,000 war-period bonuses that were disbursed, chiefly among the officers of the company, and th minority's lawsuit for restitution. E.

W. Bliss common stock had a long slide downward when war profits vanished. The stock, as now outstanding, fell from 343 a share In 1922, and from the equivalent of 384 during the war, to $10 a share last year. to the past week th-ire had been tedious recovery over a period of months to around $13. The bringing of tho suit against the ofllc.ers and directors had a salutary effect on the over-the-counter dealings in the stock.

Those who had been trying to get rid of their holdings withdrew their offerings, and prospective buyers put in fresh bids. The bid price rose in the week from $13.50 to $14.50 a share, while offerings of the stock at $15 disappeared. Brokers yesterday reported only a little stock to be had at $16.50 a share. Aside from the possibility of additions of cash to tho company's assets, in the event of a victory of the minority stockholders in their suit, the business of the Bliss Company has apparently taken a turn for the better, after a long period of effort to keepoutgo within gross Income. The eventful annual meeting of the stockholders, earlyUn the week, was not given over to the minority fight exclusively, but earnings of tho past year were reported, and they showed a net profit of more than half a million dollars, as compared with a loss in each of the two preceding years.

The stockholders were Informed that bookings of orders were being received In encouraging' volume, and there were prospects of good business for some time ahead Now Torpedo Contract In Sight. Not the least Interesting item in this connection was an intimation that the Bliss Company had closed a now contract for torpedoes.

I shall be pleased if, in ad dition to the formal welcome which I then accorded him, I may be permitted to Join with the officers and members of the Italy-America So ciety in porsonal greetings and good wishes: I feel assured that tnrougn his friendly co-ODeratlon and ac quaintanceship, good understanding oqtween the people of the two countries will bo preserved and, If possible, still further promoted." i Responding to felicitations Ambas sador De Martino declared that he will endeavor to make Italy better known to Americans and America to Italians and to further the existing friendly relations of the two countries. The ambassador vigorously defended the Mussolini government which, he declared, is "supported by the great majority of the Italian people who know the enormous difficulties of his task and who rely on iho sincerity of his endeavor." The improvement of the Italian balance, the Increase In revenue and the fostering of commerce were cited as achievements of the present Premier of Italy.

21. 1922. the Commission adopted a resolution approving the cost of the work, amounting to about $3,100, of which a half, $2 669. was due the railroad company from the city. The Commission also certified this amount to the Board of Estimate requesting that payment be made forthwith, so that the work for the other crossings might be proceeded with.

The Board of Estimate paid-no attention to the communication of the Transit Commission and the matter hiber-listed until on March 9. 1925, the approval was given to the payment of the bill." It will at last be possible, he conclude, to commence work on the next group of road crossings. MILD WINTER ANGERS DANISH COAL DEALERS Copenhagen.
