Chicago, Jan. 24.—(UP)—Chicago pocketed its pride today and asked its corporations for a loan of $50,000,000, so it can pay its employes, buy coal to heat poorhous-
parks and whose credit from 1869 to now has been unquestioned, has failed to find bidders for a bond issue of $1,500,000. That means Commissioner Michael Igoe said, that preliminary work on the World’s fair in 1933 must pe stopped and $6,000,000 worth of im-
es and hospitals and keep its chil- provements shelved
dren in school, with the result that railroads, public utilities and bankers indicated tentatively that they would furnish the money to-lubri-cate the wheels of government,
now almost stilled.
Six different plans for relief, proposed by as many groups, were
considered.
At the same time four other developments indicated the increas-
ing seriousness of the
muddle.
They were:

meet them.

FARM AID HIT BY GRAIN DEALERS
Leaders at State Session Censure Government for Surplus Control Plan.
Indianapolis, Jan. 24.—Severe censure of governmental paternalism as manifested in the farm relief hill’s provisions for controlling surplus corps met with applause at the opening ess ion of the Indiana Grain Dealers’ Association yesterday afternoon in the Board of Trade
building.
E. E. Elliott of Muncie, president of the association, and Dick Mil^r, president of the City Trust Company of Indianapolis, declared the bill to be a political maneuver rather than a constructive bit of legislation based on sound eco-
nomic principles.
Established System Overlooked ■ “History, said Mr. Elliott, “will (Continued from Page One) direct that 1929 should have full to work with them and know that credit for the passage of a farm (we’ll all get together and do somehill. We believe that the Federal i thing for Muncie. A team of bosses farm act is one of the most elastic j pulling against each other doesn’t bills that ever was before congress.! get very far as a rule. It places in the hands of nine men | o
a half billion dollars of the people’s money to be used to foster development of co-operative associations of producers, with no reference made to the already established
system of handling grain.
Loan for Butter Aid is Announced
Minneapolis, Minn., Jan. 24—But-
ter Co-Operatrve Marketing Association, facing a huge surplus in their product, were given hope for stabilized prices yesterday through the announcement that more than $4,000,000 has been made available by the Federal farm board for loans tp them through the Land O’ Lakes
Creameries of Minneapolis. Action of the farm board, it was
said, makes the Minneapolis cooperative, one of the largest in the country, the official agency of the board in the butter market. Under direction of this agency loans will be made to local creamery associations in a widespread attempt to aid them in withholding butter from
the market until prices advance.

fires in the large cities, 12-in the smaller cities and towns, and only ,7^®,’ two in the country. i
The greater number of fires were
in residences, or 3,280. Also the! greatest fire loss was on residences ! or $2,651,093. There were 133 fac-j tory fires with a loss of $1,727,990.! There were 395 barn fires with a j loss of $862,470, and practically all j
of this was in the country. The outstanding things to be •
gained from the above figures are i that roofs should be of fire resistive ! material and put more attention to- j ward reducing fire losses in the i country. County fire losses can be 1 reduced by being more careful and 1 also by organizing fire fighting forces and maintaining fire fighting
equipment in the rural sections.

Big Sums . to be Spent By Railroads
’•h
S AN evidence of their confidenc&iir business conditions, and further to develop the present high standard of service, the Railroads of this country plan to expend $1,050,000,000 during 1930. Preliminary figures show that of this sum ($680,000,000 will be for roadway and structures, and $370,000,000 for equipment New equipment for The Chesapeake and Ohio Lines alone will cost $42,500,000. The Chesapeake and Ohio has already asked manufacturers for bids on the construction of 25 freight locomotives, 50 switching engines, 40 extra large, engine tenders, 2,000 fifty-ton box cars, 1,500 fifty-seven and one-half ton gondolas, 1,500 seventy-ton steel hopper cars, 20 combination passenger and baggage cars, 41 steel passenger coaches, and 6 mail and express cars. Deliveries are expected to start in the early summer. All the new equipment will be used to replace present equipment not so up-to-date. Provision for these improved facilities is in line with The Chesapeake and Ohio policy of always maintaining its transportation plant so it will render the best possible service in the most efficient manner. Announcement of these large contemplated expenditures is. fresh assurance to our patrons and the public generally of our determination to *keep our facilities ahead of the actual needs, in readiness for any demands that might be made on us.
