Dept. 409, Bloomington, 111. 16-2 SALES TAX EDITORIAL Harold Harrison, son of John Harrison, merchant at Greenwood for many years, is the subject of an editorial in. the current issue of The'Fox Valley Mirror. More than three thousand words are used by the editor to point out that in the alleged persecution of Mr. Harrison by the collectors for the state sales tax the customer, .in the end, must pay the bill either in increased prices or lowered quality. Harold Harrison, it is said, has been sued by the authorities of the Retailers Occupational Tax, it being alleged that he owes $2,000. from the sales of his Hebron store. The Mirror points out that this is ridiculous and that Mr. Harrison could not have done that amount of business in the relative small premises he occupies at Hebron; that Hebron, with the comeptition it offers within itself, to say nothing of the even greater competition of the Wisconsin border towns and cities, could not have given to Mr. Harrison sufficient gross turn-over to make a claim fnr $2,000 in taxes at three per cent even remotely reasonable. J. J. McCauley of Harvard is a brother-inlaw ti> Mr. Harrison and Paul G. ^unk of Elgin is his attorney. It appearft, that The Fox Valley Mirror has turiied advocate for the small town retailer. The editorial is a sizzling indictment of the ROT and other taxes in general. It points out sixteen reasons why the sales tax is an unfair charge against the con*umer and quotes authorities of national reknown in support of its position. It praises the elder John Harrison as one of the pioneers of the Fox River Valley and points to the! honorable war record of Harold Har-' rison who served over seas during the World War. Those who have not read this editorial, should secure a gopy of The Mirror and judge the merits - of this controversy for themselves. Mr. and Mrs. P. M.

The state department of public works and buildings Saturday had notified Julius Keg, McHenry, that his contract for dredging Wilmette harbor had been cancelled. * -- F. Lynden Smith, director of the department, sent the notification to Keg and asked payment of a $4,800 bond posted by the Maryland Casualty company, Baltimore. Contract to dredge 40,000 cubic yards of material from* the harbor was awarded to Keg June 28, 1937, on a bid of 24 cents per cubic yard. The contract-required the work to be completed by Sept. 20. State engineers reported the work only one-seventh completed early in August and Smith ordered an investigation, which, he" said, found Keg's equipment ineadequate. Keg was ordered to acquire the proper equipment by August 23 to complete the job or have his contract revoked. Smith said the contractor failed to comply with the order and the contract was cancelled. Further action on the "harbor project will be held up pendiihg "receipt of word from the bonding company, Smith said.
