Mr‘. Amorosi took over his father's ice business about three years ago, and was one of our prominent young busi- ness men. u The following statement was issued today by Mark Graves, :President of the State T'a:< Commission: Wilson School;--“easily won the track and field meet of the ‘Grammar Schools 'at_ the South Park Stadium Monday after- noon when it 1‘-omped home with a total of 4 1 -2 points, scoring nearly twice as many points as its nearest competie tor.

CHARLILS TROW’S ‘DEATH A GREAT LOSS Frank W. Tyler, -President of (L the Past Masters Association of 5 Erie County and General ‘Chair. man of the Picnic for Erie Coun... ty Masons to be held‘ at the Han burg Fair ‘Grounds «on June 17th, announces today that the Asso- ciation has concluded arrange- ments with Capt. Daniel E. Fox of Troop C. of the New York State Troopers at Sidney, N. Y., for an exhibition of rough riding in addition to the western type of horsemanship foor which the troopers are famous. The ewell known High School Horse which has attracted at- tention throughout the country for its intelligence tests will be lfeatured. Advance sale of tickets indi- round twenty thousand. Much cates a probable crowd of I- interest throughout the county is being shown in the plans of ‘the Masons to honor the largelt Masonic families present at the outing—-the tallest Masons... heaviest Masons—and the old‘- est Masons will aiso share the ‘honors and will have a conspicu- ous part in the day's events. Some one hundred races, amat- eur and professional, with priz- es, have been put on the pro- gram. “At the request of the Tax Commission. the operations of one J. Patrick Mulqueen, de- scribing himself as supervisor of state sales tax records and forms are being investigaed by State and Federal officials. There was joy in the faces of all City employees Wednes- day when they «became ac- quainted with the -fact that the “gwhost would walk” for the first time in nearly eight long, cashless months. In the death and ‘burial of Celia A. T-row, wife of Charles A. Trow, president of the Lackawanna National bank, last week, South Buffalo lost a noted Christian work-er. Her beautiful character had en- -deared her to a host of friends and her passing was a great loss to the community. Her home was always first, and her constant aim was to make it “home” indeed, an attraction to her husband and children. Next to her family came her work for her church and the cause of Christianity. For years Mrs. Trow was one of the leaders in all activ~ ities of the South Park M. ‘E. church, Sunday School and missionary fields and she was also actively engaged in Y. M. C. A. work, having been a for- mer president of the Ladies’ Anxiliary of the South Buffalo branch , a field in which she maintained her interest up to the time of her last illness. “Mr. Mulqueen, according to reports to the Tax Commissicn has engaged salesmen to solicit storekeepers w-hose retail sales will be subject to the new 1.9: State tax, for the purpose of §el1_ing them a so-called“ sales tax service. He was a member of the Lake Erie Association, Stags, Italian-American Club and the first Ward Democratic Club! Last year he was mana- ger of the Stag softball team. The money to cash pay checks was made available through the efforts of Corpor- ation Counsel John W. O'Con- nor and the Boardpf Asses- sors’ to compel the Bethlehem Steel ‘Corporation to pay its back taxes. Last rites were held from the home at 9 A. M. this morning and services were held at St. Anthony's church an hour later. Burial was made in Holy Cross cemetery. The deceased was at the hospital to arrange for a si- nus operation, when he was attacked with a hemorrhage of the head and died before he could be operated upon. Although a young man, his political sagacity was well re- cognized by his party, and his congenial disposition had made him a host of friends. The funeral was held from the late residence at 9 A, M. this morning and from St. Anth0ny’s church of which he was an active member of the congregation,- and where a re- quiem High Mass was obser~ \-'ed, at 10 o'clock. Representatives from all city departments, from nearly every fraternal and political organizations were present at the services in the church as well as hundreds of friends. Mr. Amorosi is survived by his parents; three brothers, Joseph, Tihomaa and Frank and one sister, Loretta. “The Tax Comrmssion de- sires to state that Mr. Mul-’ queen has no connecion with the State Commission or with the State Department of Tax- ation and Finance, nor, so far as is known, with any other .~,tate of Dave Lewis, Wilson School\s colored speed demon, made record time to capture the base circling contest in 15 2 -5 seconds. To Judge Horton is also due thanks from Steel City employ- ees for his suggestion that the plant quit stalling and pay at least a part of the money due the City. $200,000, the amount sug- -gested by the Court, will not pay all obligations of the city to date, but the employees and merchants welcomed the re- ceipt of at least part of the money due them from the city. Payment of all outstanding pay checks and vouchers of 1932 and the months of Jan- uary and February were order- ed by the Common Council at a special meeting‘ as soon as Treasurer Tomaka notified the Mayor of the receipt of the Steel plant's check. The statement “that the city would still be about $130,000 in the hole” attributed to City Treasurer Paul J. Tomaka, was questioned however by var- ious members of the Common Council and a special resolu- tion was adopted demanding a detailed statement of the City's finances at the next meeting of the “City dads.\ Bill Jeffres, Lincoln’s strong \arm artist tossed the softball more than 40 feet away from the mark of his‘ nearest com- petitor, with a distance record. of 294 feet, 8 inches. Leona Koreysza of Franklin School scaled the bar at 4 feet 3 inches in the running high jump in the girl's events; Bertha Smith of Wilson School tossed the basket ball 67 feet 5 inches for a goal and Alice Iwin of Lincoln School sent the softball 134 feet, 9 inches from the plate. “Some of the records and forms which the undertakes to deliver for a fee of $2.00, ac- cording to the literature he is having distributed to store- keepers, have not yet been prepared by the Commission. In fact, the only official docu- ment at merchant needs to com- ply with the salcs tax law is the blank form on which to make his return after June 30. Preparation of these forms ha‘ not yet been completed by the Tax Commission, and when the forms are ready they will be available without charge to every interested person. “Potential taxpayers accord- ingly are advised by the Tax Commission that is not neces- sary for them to apply else- where than to the Commission or its authorized agents for sales tax records and forms.\ Mrs. Trow, nee \Valker, was born in Buffalo, April 11, 188-1 and moved to Lake View with her parents when a child. It was here she met and married Charles A. Trow, on September :30, ‘£308. The young couple making their home in South Buffalo immediately. On account of the ill health of their (laughter, Iva, who was entering Buffalo Univer- sity, the Trows moved to Uni- versity Avenue about three vears ago. Their only son. James, died in infancy in 1911. Mrs. Trow‘< mother, .\Irs. Louis Buck survives the deceased, as well as her husband and two daughters, Iva and Jane.
