Lackawanna and Western New York are in the midst of a| great civic housecleaning this week and next week, a move- ment intended to make our city a cleaner, better and more heathy place in which to live and at the same time to pro~ mote employment for hundreds if men now idle or working on part time schedules. The movement, 21st annual Clean-Up and Paint-Up cam- paign is endorsed by the lead- ing business and civic organ- izations of Western New York. Its purpose.-it to.rer;:aov_e,,‘f$i?ji;ek and health hazards by elimina-' ting rubbish that breeds disease carriers or makes possible the starting of fires that may be- come serious conflagratiins. In this undertaking city, village and town health, fire and po- lice departments are coopera- ing enthusiastically throughout the territory. Once the rubbish is removed. it is hoped that property own- ers will take advantage of the present low cost of painting, paper hanging, lawn and gar- den improvements and home modernizing in genera‘! to have _worl_c ‘of this type done at this time.‘ ‘IiI“tl_jix wly ‘work will he. created for hundreds of men, property values will be improv- ed and the standards of living in Lackawanna and vicinity will be greatly enhanced. The campaign will continue throughout next week so that all householders will have a chance to complete their task of cleaning up and painting up in the event of unfavorable weather this week end. Local Clean Up activities are under the supervision of Health Officer Dr. A. S. Culkowski. with the first weeks work covering the territory West of tin; Igigge Road bridge.

Lackawanna Approximately $171,000 Richer, City’s Share of Franchise Tax LOHR WINS IN LONG FIGHT FOR SETTLEMENT Lackawanna will be approx- imately $1'l1,000.00 richer by a settlement of age old contro- versy between the State, City, the Bethlehem Steel corpora- tion as to the amount due on their State Franchise Tax, which has been the bone of contention since 1922. When the State collects the recently agreed upon $514,000.00 the will receive one-third of the a- mount less a part of the ac- crued interest. feated for offire by Mayor Malone,, a Steel Plant employ- ee, and all effort to collect the tax was suspended. When Mayor Lohr assumed office agin in January, 1932, he again took up the fight in behalf of the people and con- tinued the agitating with re- lentless determination until he finally effected the settlement which will be made available to the City in a few days. This tax known as the corp- oration tax is payable to the State of New York, of which the City receives one-third and the amount which the Bethle- hem is forced to pay to the State amounts to approximate ly $514,000.00 of which the City of Lackawanna will re- ceive as its share approximate- ly$171,000.00. Payment of this money to the City at the pre-= sent time will come as a bless- ing as the City was never more in need of funds than at the present time and that the present City administration has been able to maintain the ‘City's credit by meeting the princlpal and interest on its bonded indebtedness is due to the rigid economy that has been inaugurated on the part of the present City officials. sure to the man of whom it is written. The present administration has had some gigantic prob- lems to deal with, but now that the corporation tax is practically settled\ and out of the way and the inventory of the plant property has ‘been practically finished, the next important step to be dealt with is the certiornri proceedings to determine the assessable status of the plant property.

METHYLENE BLUE AT MOSES TAYLOR HOSPITAL New Moose Dictator Michael Hughes, vice dictator; Arthur Gibbons, prelate; Nich- olas J. Eagan, treasurer, and William Scahill, trustee, George A. Buck, secretary; Thomas Hooper and Michael J. Kilcoyne, trustees, who held over from last year are the oth-. er officers of the fraternity. Following the installation refreshments were served and a social evening enjoyed. (Continued on page Four) Believed by medical experts to be the means of saving r..vuv.y hundreds of lives, a quanity of Methylene Blue has been re- ceived by the Moses 'l'n_vlor Hospital of Lackawnmm, for the treatment of cyanide and carbon monoxide poisoning. Methylene Blue was first used in San Francisco on Sept» ember 5th, 1932. Since then many lives have been through- the country according to news- paper reports. Victims of cyan- ide poisoning and asphyxiation from escaping gas. automobile fumes and defective gas heat- ers have been successfully treated. Adjustment of the the corp- oration tax with the Bethlehem Steel Corporation is an accom- plishment worthy of unstinted praise. The struggle to effect a settlement of this claim has been waged for the past ten years, through the City's Legal Department. The great American princi- ple of giving credit where cred- it is due can be in all siscerity invoked at this time. The last time the Bethlehem Steel Corporation paid its corp- oration tax to the State, of which the City receives one- -third, was in 1922.. When Mayor Lohr took office he decided to use all power of his office to collect this tax that had been so consistently avoided on the part of the Steel Plant and the results just accomplished speak volumes for the energy, effort and de- termination of Mayor Lohr. N. B. C. ENTERTAINERS TO BE FEATURED HERE Most all of our merchants and businessmen generally fav- or some sort of an adjustment by way of compromise with the Steel Plant in these pinching times. That is a matter that the present administration is wrest- ling with and hope that it can be adjusted in such a way, and on such terms, that the tax will be paid and -the proceeds made available for the merchant, the laborer, City employee and business generally. In this re- spect the Herald feels that public sentiment and the de- mands of the people would support and approve of some sort of early settlement. One of the star radio broad~ casting organizations which has been a feature of N. B. C. I programs for the past two _, years. and now touring the ._‘ large cities of the East, has : been induced to come oo Lacka- 1 j wanna through the interven- ‘- tion of Mrs. Joseph Sikich. _ ,_b concert. .,,,};_ This splendid musical organ; ization, the Balkan Mountain ‘_ Men, is well known to all who I have tuned in on N.

The concert is sponsored by “Lackawa_nna’s” Ery'glis'h Speaking Lodge, No. 726 and will be held in Croatian church hall .on Sunday evening V May 14. The members of the lodge are to be congratulated in securing the appearance of the Balkan Mountain Men in 5 our City, as only cities as 3\‘ large as Cleveland, Detroit, Wt‘ Boston, ect, are listed in their ,\' tour.

Cyanide and monoxide inter-. fu-re with this process which is restored to normal by the Methylene Blue. sent administration it unhesit- atingly accords the present City officials their meed of praise for the splendid work they have accomplished in the past sixteen months. There is a general pick-up in the business at the Steel Plant and it is to be hoped that. the present signs‘ of 1'et.u1-nimz pmsperit_v will continue until ove1‘_\' man in Lacliawannn who is able to work will be omplo_ved. We must remember that the City is dealing with a big pro- blem and a big corporation. A corporation on whose business and upon whose prosperity the sucess and prosperity of every citizen in Lackawanna in a large measure depend.
