COUNTY AND CITY TAX BILLS TO BE MAILED SATURDAY

Collection Poriod Will Open Monday, Treasurer's

Office Says State, county and city tax bills

for 1*44, as well as water rent bins for the six-month period from July 1, 1943, to Jan. 1 of this year will be placed in the mails Saturday morning and the collection period will open Monday morning, it was announced today at the city treas­urer's office.

It is pointed out that because of the fact that the, city charter pro­vides that there be a twenty-day period from the opening collection date for the payment of city taxes without penalty, taxpayers will have an extra, day for the munici­pal bill payments This is true be­cause of the fact that the period ends April 16, a Sunday, so that payments will be accepted without penalty through Monday, April 17.

If payment of the entire city tax bo made on or before April 17 there is a 1 per cent reduction al­lowed and no interest or penalty is added. Taxpayers making one-half the payment by the 17th and the remaining half on or before Oct 1 do net receive any deductions but have no penalty or Interest charges.

lor of Troy, representative from the 29th District and Bernard. W. Kear­ney of the Thirtieth District, will query Secretary of State Cordell Hull tomorrow morning on his for­eign policy.

The conference with Mr. Hull was arranged after the representatives had written the Secretary of State demanding detailed information on American foreign policy and its ob­jective*. The letter also com­plained of Mr. Hull's "puzzling si­lence" and asked whether they "were being led up a blind alley" following their support of the four-power Moscow declaration and other evidence of the administra­tion's policy.

The representatives expressed be­lief that the great majority of the American people is badly confused "by the seeming emergence of em­bryonic spheres of influence on a regional basis—the domination of small nations by the great."

They asked if the Moscow declar­ation had been abandoned in favor of "piecemeal arrangsments on various topics now deemed to hsve importance in the postwar world." The letter said that reported plans for conferences on postwar civil aviation, oil and monetary arrange­ments are giving rise here to a be­lief that "radical changes from the Moscow declaration" are in the making.

The representatives said they be­lieved the people are entitled to some explanation and added:

"If the main American objectives in this war have not been deter­mined we respectfully inquire why? If they have been determined why are we not fully informed about them?"

"We believe that those who are doing the actual fighting are en­titled to know what our govern­ment Intends that victory will bring."

TWO DAIRY HERD GROUPS REELECT YEARLY OFFICERS

Annual Mooting of Organ­izations Held at West Sand

Lake Grange Hall Officers of Rensselser County's

two Dairy Herd Improvement Associations were reelected at the joint annual meetings of both groups at the West Sand Lake Grange Hall last night .

The Collar City Association re­named Alton Lemka of Castleton as chairman; Harvey Reed, Spelgle-town, vice chairman, and Wlllsrd Hoyt, Castleton, secretary-treas­urer.

The other association reelected David Phillips of North Greenbush as chairman; George Woodling, Valley Falls, vice chairman, and Earl Sherman, Buskirk, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Sherman read a let­ter announcing the resignation ef Kenneth Heald as tester for this association. Mr. Heald has taken a position with the central office of the New York State Artificial Breeders' Cooperative, Inc., at Syr* acuse.

The joint meeting was preceded by a dinner served by the women of the West Sand Lake Grange.

Raymond Albrectaen, farmer and extension instructor, from Cornell University, was the speaker. H s addressed the group on "The Fu­ture of Agriculture." and voiced the opinion that the future looks bright for dairymen. He predicted that many new labor-saving machines and methods will be developed dur­ing the years immediately follow­ing the war. He expressed the be-lief that farmers should regard the future with much enthusiasm and optimism.

He said there are many fields of dairy research open for bringing about more efficient dairy opera­tion. In this connection, he spoke of the desirability of finding meth­ods for cutting and keeping hay without losing so much of the nu­trient value as Is sacrificed under present methods.

Motion pictures of the M t Marcy area were shown by Fred Becker of North Greenbush.
