New York Mayor vetoes tax bills affecting exchange
New York Mayor Joha P. O'Brien tonight vetoed proposed tax measures aimed at the stock exchange in a move that threatened to drive the New York Stock Exchange to Newark New Jersey. Whitney president of the exchange said the market would stay if the veto stood and avoid relocation. The veto followed urging from Samuel Untermyer city financial adviser and auditor of the emergency tax program to drop the taxes as a alternative to losing the exchange business.

A plan for a 360 to 400 mile scenic highway linking Shenandoah National Park in Virginia to Great Smoky Mountain National Park in North Carolina and Tennessee was outlined at federal hearings. A possible branch to Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky was also discussed. Leaders including Senator Byrd, Highway Commissioner Henry G. Shirley, and state public works engineer James A. Anderson presented to Thomas H. MacDonald seeking funding. The project estimated at 15 million dollars would cost about 7.5 million for the Virginia link and would connect at Jarman's Gap to Skyline Drive now under construction. A non profit corporation and tolls were proposed to finance construction.
